The Jonas Brothers were on Good Morning America last Friday where they performed for the Summer Concert Series.  They have been touring to promote their new album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, and their new single “Paranoid.”

As the mother of two teens, I have tolerated the music of the Jonas Brothers for the past little while but I have to admit that this newest album (particularly the single) is actually pretty good.  It’s a new, more serious sound for them and I think it suits their post-puberty voices (sorry, it had to be said). 

In addition to “Paranoid,” the boys performed some other songs from their new album (“Poison Ivy” and “World War III”) as well as their older hit “Burnin’ Up.”  Watch the videos after the jump!

Diane Sawyer was on The View where she talked about her new special about prostitution.  She went out and spoke to “working girls” to find out why these women ended up in that lifestyle.  It was really interesting!  Watch the interview:

Good Morning America host, Robin Roberts, has completed her chemotherapy!  This is great news!  The co-anchor was diagnosed with breast cancer six months ago and has continued working as she went through eight cycles of treatment. 

"I don’t know what I would have done without my ‘chemo buddies,’ family and friends, who would sit with me for hours … and a familiar face never came empty handed!" Roberts said. She shared that "GMA" co-anchor Diane Sawyer would often bring her "contraband" comfort food like french fries.

Roberts calls the iPod headphones Sawyer gave her "magic shields." She listened to music during the treatments and said "they kind of fend things off."

Sawyer joined Roberts for her last day. As she sat in the chair, listening to her iPod, enduring one last treatment, Roberts was full of joy.

Robin has remained very strong throughout this process and I only hope the best for her.  She is a real example to those who are also fighting cancer.  If you would like to read the rest of the story, including commentary from Robin’s oncologist, click here.
