So far, January (and 2010 in general) has been a big month of Miley news, taking home A People’s Choice Award last week and with big happenings over at Hannah Montana . Don’t forget that she’s also starring in a movie with Liam Hemsworth called The Last Song, which is based off of the novel by Nicholas Sparks. We showed you the poster before, and now there is a new featurette introduced by the two stars that show some new scenes.

The Last Song is scheduled to be in theaters on April 2, 2010, and also stars Greg Kinnear, Kelly Preston, and Bobby Coleman.

When we told you about and brought you the video of the Nick Jonas performance in Washington D.C. last week, we also told that if you hurried you could catch him performing in Philadelphia’s Tower Theater the very same day. If you made it, you caught him performing Taylor Swift’s smash single “You Belong with Me”.

Nick said this about Taylor Swift before the performance, “This girl has had an amazing year and I just wanna congratulate her!” . Just like last time, here is another heads up: Jonas and Administration will be performing a tBoston’s Orpheum Theater on January 12th–that’s tomorrow!

Remember to go get Nick’s album, Who I Am, on February 2nd!

The 36th annual People’s Choice Awards were given out last Wednesday and among those honored with your vote this year were Disney/Pixar’s ‘Up‘ and Miley Cyrus! What category did each win?

Up took home Favorite Family Movie, continuing its success in the award circuit, having previously been recognized by the Golden Globes, AFI, National Board of Review, Annie Awards, and Roger Ebert.

Miley won the Favorite Breakout Movie Actress award, which I’m assuming had to be for Hannah Montana: The Movie, because I’m not sure what else she was in last year.

Congrats to Miley and the Pixar crew from the BSCkids crew

Nick Jonas, the youngest of the Jonas Brothers, performed “Stay” with The Administration, aptly in Washington DC! As you may know, Nick and the band will be releasing their album, Who I Am, on February 2nd! Below we have a video of the performance, and it’s 6+ minutes long!

Jonas twittered this about the song after performing it:

WARNING! If you are in Philadelipha you can see Nick perform tonight at Tower Theater!
