Jonas Brothers Twitter Account Goes Missing

After canceling their tour last week, the Jonas Brothers have since shut down their Twitter account.

As of press time, when fans go to the band's official account they get the following message, "Sorry, that page doesn't exist! Thanks for noticing — we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon."

A rep for the group had not responded to MTV News request for further information or comment about the status or future of their Twitter account. And while the band's joint account no longer exists, each of the members' individual accounts remain activated. None of their individual accounts have been updated since their tour announcement last week.

The JoBros announced last week they were canceling their 19-date fall tour, which was slated to kick off last Friday in Pennsylvania and would have ended on November 6 in Seattle, due to "a deep rift within the band. There was a big disagreement over their music direction." The official statement about the cancelation added that the future of the band "remains to be seen" and that the rift was linked to "creative differences" within the trio. Ticket holders could get full refunds for the canceled slate of dates.

The guys made headlines last October when they played a highly anticipated reunion show in New York City at Radio City Music Hall. The show was meant to reintroduce the brothers to their fans as they embarked on this next chapter of their career. In addition to their tour, they had also been hard at work prepping ...

Austine Mahone’s Headlining Tour Won’t Have Any ‘No Smoking’ Signs

Austin Mahone has his bags — and his smoke machine — packed and is about to launch his first headlining tour. MTV's Artist to Watch Tour kicks off Thursday (October 17) in Miami, and the 17-year-old has put in lot of prep work to make sure his Mahomies get the best show possible.

"It's really cool. I've been in the dance rehearsals for a couple weeks now just getting ready. I've gotten more dancers. I've gotten more songs I'm adding to it, so you know we got like lasers and lights and smoke," he told MTV News of the 10-city trek. "And it's gonna be a huge production, so I'm really excited ... so it's gonna be a really fun tour and I can't wait."

Mahone will be bringing along "Becky From the Block" singer and COVERGIRL Becky G, as well as Midnight Red and W3 the Future for this jaunt. And, he knew there was one prop he couldn't leave home without.

"I knew I had to have smoke because smoke always makes everything more dramatic," the "What About Love" singer said. "Like when it slowly rises from the ground, it's the best. I love it; it just looks great."

This marks Austin's first headlining tour, and the EMA-nominated singer learned quite a lot about how to put on a show from Taylor Swift when he opened for her Red tour earlier this year.

"I learned from Taylor that she can put on an amazing two-hour performance and keep everyone's attention. There's not a dull moment in her ...

Exclusive: Alex Pettyfer And Gabriella Wilde Feel Sting Of ‘Endless Love’ In First Trailer

It's nice to hear a story of "Boy meets girl; boy and girl live happily ever after," but real life — and the movies, for that matter — is never that simple.

Such is the case with "Endless Love," the new adaptation of Scott Spencer's book starring Alex Pettyfer, most recently seen in "Magic Mike," and Gabriella Wilde, who will appear next in the "Carrie" remake with Chloe Grace Moretz.

"Endless Love" tells the story of Jade and David, who meet one summer and fall in love rather quickly. This comes as distressing news to Jade's father, played by Bruce Greenwod. He is suspicious of David and launches an investigation into his past, which by the looks of the trailer is at least a little checkered.

You'll now be able to get your first look at "Endless Love" because MTV News has your exclusive first look at the trailer, which begins like any other romance movie but quickly devolves into something much more dark and complex.

We we get to see a little more of David's previous run-ins with the law, hinted at by his willingness to "borrow" a car from the country club where he works. The back end of the preview teases some of the darkness that was very much present in the original Spencer novel.

"Endless Love" was previously adapted in the 1981 with Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt in the lead roles. That film was notable in part because it marked the first feature film appearance by a young Tom Cruise. James Spader co-starred.

"Endless Love" opens in theaters on ...

‘Breaking Bad’ Spin-Off: Here’s Why You Might See Walter White Again

So, you just wrapped one of the most critically acclaimed TV dramas of all time in which (spoiler alert!) the star went out in a blaze of machine gun glory
 and your other main character limped off into the darkness.

Great job, now how do you get them back on TV? If you're "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan that's just one of the biggest challenges facing "Bad" spin-off "Better Call Saul."

But after coming down from the "Bad" finale high, Gilligan is finally tucking into "Saul," which he told the Hollywood Reporter has already evolved from a half-hour sitcom to a one-hour drama.

"We're both one-hour drama guys," Gilligan said of himself and show runner Peter Gould, who abandoned the comedy format when they realized they weren't comfortable with the jokes-per-page ratio a sitcom requires and that they enjoyed the visual elements of the "Bad" universe.

"So we figured, 'Why not shoot 'Saul' in the same way?' Let's shoot it in Albuquerque, let's get as much of the crew back together as possible, and let's do it the way we did it before so that it will be of a piece with that pre-existing fictional universe that we had so much fun creating."

A bit gun-shy about sequels following his work on the failed "X-Files" spin-off "The Lone Gunmen," Gilligan is proceeding cautiously with "Saul," working through the plot and tone with Gould to make sure they get the mix of drama and comedy just right. The new series will be set in an office and have a lighter tone than "Bad," ...

Eminem’s 41, And We’re Throwing Him A Blowout Party

Eminem will cause a frenzy with The Marshall Mathers LP 2 on November 5, but fans can party now since Shady turns 41 on Thursday (October 17).

To mark the milestone, Stan decided to throw Em a blowout bash that he'll never forget. On 2000's "Drug Ballad," from the original Marshall Mathers LP, Em mused, "I'll be 40 before I know it with a 40 on the porch tellin' stories with a bottle of Jack," but since he's 41, we've got to kick it up a notch.

RSVP Only
Naturally, this is an invite-only event, so if you didn't receive that milk carton with Dr. Dre's "Missing" flyer plastered all over it, then you're out of luck. Dialing up that 1-800 number is the only way to RSVP.

The Hosts
Em has a long history with Elton John and Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog, so it's only right that they host in his honor. Despite some of his earlier, homophobic lyrics, Em developed a close relationship with Elton John, even admitting that the singer helped him get through substance abuse. Or, if you just want to take Triumph's explanation from Em's : "You're so cute and small, no wonder Elton John loves you. Your head comes up to his waist."

The Guests
Throughout his illustrious career, Em has used his considerable talents to poke fun at countless pop stars, but things change and people forgive, right? Christina Aguilera is definitely invited, and she can certainly sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst. 50 Cent has been ...

‘Chinese Food’ Creator Patrice Wilson’s Greatest Misses

With the overnight success of Patrice Wilson finally has his follow-up to the Internet-obliterating, backlash-inducing smash he co-wrote for Rebecca Black back in 2011.

Of course, it's not like he hasn't been busy trying to duplicate "Friday's" viral spread from the moment the clip first hit YouTube: That same year, he founded Pato World Music, a "music production company and a platform for undiscovered talent to get the recognition they deserve," and, in the time since, the company has released a spate music videos starring squeaky-clean tweens belting out bizarrely similar songs ... the overwhelming majority of which Wilson wrote and produced.

On Thursday, MTV News spoke with Wilson about the runaway success of "Chinese Food" — it's racked up more han 5 million views on YouTube in just 48 hours — and though claims he wrote the song in just 30 minutes, we suspect he's being modest. After all, the track is unquestionably his biggest hit since "Friday" (the closest he came to matching it was Nicole Westbrook's "Thanksgiving", which topped out at 14 million views). But it turns out, scoring another hit is a lot tougher than you'd imagine ... after all, not every delusional pre-teen with wealthy parents is destined for superstardom.

So here's a look at some of Wilson's near-misses, those wide-eyed wannabes who put their faith in his hitmaking abilities, only to end up getting eclipsed by a song that rhymes "broccoli" with "Monopoly." Hey, it's never too early to learn that life is unfair.

Drew Jacobs, "My Team"
He seems like ...
