After the success of their TV movie Camp Rock, the Jonas Brothers are now prepping for their own Disney Channel original series.

“It’s going to be about us as a band but dealing with normal things like trying to take out the trash and not get hounded by fans,” Joe Jonas tells ELLEgirl magazine about the as-yet untitled series. “It’s going to be a funny show, and it’s going to be a great cast.”

The show – originally about the boy band living a double life as spies – has recently undergone a conceptual change. The trio, who just released their third studio album, A Little Bit Longer, told Ryan Seacrest on his KISS-FM radio show that the series will now be more like HBO’s Flight of the Conchords.

Production is on hold until the boys finish their tour, but “we start filming mid-September,” said Joe, 19. “The writers are working on it as we speak, so we should be seeing scripts any day. I’m really excited.”

Biking with Brothers

It’s more than just the show that is waiting for Joe at home in L.A. The middle Jonas, who recently received a motorcycle with a sidecar as a birthday gift, can’t wait to get back and start taking his brothers for a ride.

“The sidecar’s in Los Angeles,” he said. “When we start filming our television show, we will be setting up the sidecar.”

As for their Video Music Award nomination for video of the year, “[This] is huge for us,” said Kevin, 20. “We can’t believe it.”

The VMAs, airing Sunday on MTV, pit the Jonases against Britney Spears, Chris Brown, the Ting Tings and Pussycat Dolls.

Fanning the flames of romance reports, the Jonas Brothers dined out with Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez at Tao in NYC Thursday night.

Joe, 19, and Swift, 18, have getting close since she made a cameo in the Jonas Brothers concert film while Disney singer/actress Gomez, 16, has been coy about her relationship with Nick, 15.

“Well, she’s an amazing girl, and anybody would be lucky to be dating her,” Nick told Ryan Seacrest earlier this month.

Last month, Rolling Stone published a photo of the couple embracing backstage.

Swift and Gomez, the star of Wizards of Waverly Place, left the restaurant holding hands. Kevin Jonas, 20, and their bodyguard Big Rob were also there.
