Nick Jonas: MTV’s 10 on Top Co-Host!

Nick Jonas shares a laugh with Lenay Dunn in this new, behind-the-scenes pic from MTV’s 10 on Top.

The 19-year-old Broadway star will be co-hosting this weekend’s show with Lenay and by the sounds of it — had a great time!

Lenay tells JJJ, “Nick is the first co-host we’ve ever had to wear a suit – he looked smashing!”

She added, “My favorite part of the shoot was when Nick and I were showing off our dance moves – he spun me around, and then we slow-danced a little. He would’ve been a fantastic prom date back in high school!”

JJJ Fun Fact: Nick watches The Bachelor! Apparently, he wanted to talk about spoilers with Lenay, but she wouldn’t let him.

MTV’s 10 on Top premieres Saturday, January 28th @ 11:30AM ET/PT.

Star Spotting: It’s Really Hard To Find Anything Wrong With Nick Jonas

They should do a remake of that movie “I Don’t Know How She Does It” but center it around Nick Jonas and his tireless quest to constantly look perfectly presentable at all times. Still can’t get over the fact that this dude’s 19 years old. The guys I was dating when I was that age were pretty much still in diapers. (No offense to those of you who might be reading this — everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.)

Nick had on his Sunday best when he showed up to the Wednesday performance of his new gig as the lead in Broadway’s “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.” Nick made his debut performance the previous night to stellar reviews, and once again, we remain unsurprised. If you were to tell us Nick Jonas spends his free time making stem cell discoveries and/or perfecting his croque madame recipe, we wouldn’t even bat an eyelash. So… marry me?
