Celebrity of the Week:

Hollywood heartthrob and former Disney star Nick Jonas performed his first solo show since the tragic breakup of the Jonas Brothers. The trio formally announced the group’s breakup on Oct. 30 on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Not even one week later, Nick put on his own show at Live in the Vineyard in Napa Valley. Even though most JoBro fans were heartbroken because of the recent split of the famous boy band, an overwhelming number of fans still came out to the venue to support Nick at his show. While working on his solo music career, Nick is also managing to improve on his acting career. He’s starring in a movie called “Careful What You Wish For” that is expected to release sometime in 2014.

Sightings:

 Former ‘N Sync band members reunited in Orlando, Fla., this past weekend to support former member Chris Kirkpatrick at his wedding. Jessica Biel accompanied her husband Justin Timberlake to the big occasion. This was not ‘N Sync’s first reunion this year. According to E! Online, the boy band performed at the MTV Video Music Awards in August for the first time in more than a decade. Although the band members seem to be guiding their lives in different directions, no one knows what the future holds for this long-loved group.

Romance:

Kanye West finally popped the big question to reality star Kim Kardashian during her birthday week on Oct. 22. West proposed at AT&T Park in San Francisco by having a 50-piece orchestra play Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful” while the jumbo screen read, “PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!” according to HollywoodLife.com.

While Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were celebrating their relationship, another celebrity couple has decided to call it quits. Model Miranda Kerr and actor Orlando Bloom are splitting up after three years. The couple made their announcement on Oct. 25, but the two still seem amicable as they spent the very next day together with their son, Flynn. The family took a walk around New York City for the day, according to Popsugar.
