Is there anything the Jonas Brothers can't do??

They're super talented musicians, they're really good at being super hot and they're great at golf too!

Well, it's less the brothers and more Nick!

He has some serious golf super powers.

Check out the video (above) to see some amazing putting!

AWK-WARD.

While we're sure they had the best of intentions, the NFL messed up when they invited Nickelback to perform at this year's Detroit Lions Thanksgiving game, because pretty much ALL OF DETROIT doesn't want them. Ouch!

Okay, so maybe not the entire city of Detroit, but over 32,000 Lions fans have signed an online petition trying to get Nickelback replaced! Ouch X2!

Here's how the petition reads:

This game is nationally televised, do we really want the rest of the US to associate Detroit with Nickelback? Detroit is home to so many great musicians and they chose Nickelback?!?!?! Does anyone even like Nickelback? Is this some sort of ploy to get people to leave their seats during halftime to spend money on alcoholic beverages and concessions? This is completely unfair to those of us who purchased tickets to the game. At least the people watching at home can mute their TVs. The Lions ought to think about their fans before choosing such an awful band to play at halftime.

It is true that many great people came from Detroit. Guess the NFL may want to rethink their decision…or hire LOTS AND LOTS of security during the halftime show!

Jackie Chan is probably the nicest action star ever.

The actor raised $3.3 million for Japan relief efforts this past Friday during his fund-raising concert, Artiste 311 Love Beyond Borders, in Hong Kong.

He put in calls across the Asian entertainment industry to wrangle in other charitable musicians and actors to host the show.

Even his good friend Lionel Richie appeared via a satellite feed in Australia to sing a rendition of his Say You, Say Me.

Jackie put together the show in just 11 days and says the most difficult part wasn't getting people to come, but having too many performers show up! He explained in a recent interview:

“The production team consists of fewer than 40 people, but 300 performers showed up. Almost everyone from Japan that we asked agreed to come over. But then we had to ask ourselves, what role could they play? What should they perform? Because, you know, every guest means a plane ticket, a hotel room, each for the guest and their assistants.”

The actor wasn't afraid to dig into his own pocket for the event and paid $643,000 to fly in and house all of the performers. "The worst thing would be to ask others to give but not give yourself,” he said.

The 56-year-old international star is completely aware of how much money he makes and because of that, he's not worried about giving so much of it out, explaining:

“My goal is to have a $0 in my bank account the day I die. I get very happy when I think about that, no more worries. I buy the things I like, I give money to charity, and then I try to make more money. I’ll be frank with you: It’s not difficult for me to make money. If it’s easy, why shouldn’t I give it away?”

Right on, Jackie! You're an inspiration and we wish there were more celebrities out there with your kind heart!
