Nick Jonas’ mother just recently announced that Nicky was working on a solo project in addition to his duties with his brothers.

Now, Nick has revealed that the inspiration behind the music of Nick Jonas & The Administration is none other than the purple one, Prince.

He said, “I’ve heard one or two stories about how the guys in the band were asked by Prince to come and do some things with him, but they had to decline. Prince played a big role…obviously.”

Nick said that he may even stop in Minneapolis in hopes of hearing from the Purple One himself. He added, “I think it’s going to be really funny when he sees them up on stage. And I’m just waiting to see if Prince is going to show up and be sitting there, like, with a blank face on. Hopefully he likes it.”

As far as inspirations go, Nick also listed that of Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, and Elvis Costello and Johnny Cash.

Snap! Clay Aiken slammed Adam Lambert saying that he wasn’t his “cup of tea at all” and that his Johnny Cash performance made his ears bleed, but that’s okay with Lambert. Even though Aiken later apologized, Lambert is really laughing it off.

He said, “I don’t know Clay. I’m glad he’s getting headlines now though, because he wasn’t before. If he wants to ride my coattails about it, good for him.”

Lambert made sure he cleared up the details surrounding the famous TextGate, where people thought that AT&T or some other party were giving votes to Kris Allen.

He added, “There are plenty of standards and practices set up where they make sure that there’s no, foul play. And I don’t think it’s a conspiracy. I think people are making a big deal out of nothing. A couple of employees handed out a couple of phones and showed people how to use them. I don’t think that’s a conspiracy of any kind.”

And there you have it!
