Inner Tube: Jonas Bros. fans tell Oprah: It's about time

Thursday, April 24th 2008, 4:00 AM

The Jonas Brothers will appear on "Oprah" Thursday, thanks to nearly 5,000 e-mails the show's staff received from the group's fans.

"[They were] begging, pleading to have you guys here ... the most [e-mails] for any guest this year," Oprah tells the brothers in the episode airing on ABC at 4. "They barraged us with their e-mails. Started an online petition, and even posted their pleas on YouTube."

For love of 'Money'

Former "Flavor of Love," "Rock of Love" and "I Love New York" contestants are to compete in VH1's new reality show, "I Love Money."

The competition will involve a series of physical and mental challenges. Unlike the shows this series has been spun off from, "I Love Money" does away with the notion of finding love on TV and focuses on getting rich quick.

A VH1 spokesman confirmed to Variety that the series has been filmed and is to premiere July 13.

Dots all ...
