Benny Blanco 'can't remember' music he's worked on
Benny Blanco "can't remember" the songs he's worked on. The 37-year-old producer has confessed to using the Shazam app to find out details of some music he hears, only to then discover it was a record he had been a part of creating. Speaking on Therapuss, he said: "The first, like ,big pop thing that I ever worked on was Britney Spears. Sometimes I am in a restaurant and I'm like, 'Oh my god, this song's so good.' And I Shazam it, and then it's my own song. "I'm old and I can't remember anything. And I've done like hundreds of songs that have come out." Benny - who has worked with the likes of Kesha, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran and Rihanna over the years - noted he had been "making songs for 16 years" and compared the situation to Therapuss host Jake Shane being asked to recall everyone he had ever interviewed on his podcast. Elsewhere during the podcast, Benny admitted he and fiancee Selena Gomez are "excited" about their wedding but have been unable to do any planning because they have been "working on so many things that we hadn't even had time to get into it". He added: "We both need to chill. We've both been working so much. "We got engaged and then we were filming music videos for our album, then it's holidays, then right after the holidays we had to start all the promo for our stuff, do that." Benny also admitted he had never seen Selena's teen comedy series Wizards of Waverly Place - which ran from October 2007 until January 2012 - until long after they started dating. He said: 'I had never seen Selena's show [Wizards of Waverly Place] until we started dating. 'I knew she was a kid star, but I had never seen any of it. She was going to be on the [2024] reboot [Wizards Beyond Waverly Place], and I was like, 'He, can I see your show before we go to the reboot, so, like, I know what it is.? And she was like, 'What?' And she was like, 'I guess.' ' The producer was also clueless about the Jonas Brothers, despite the Only Murders in the Building star having dated Nick Jonas from 2008 to 2010. Benny said: 'I didn't know who the Jonas Brothers were until [2019 hit] Sucker. 'Like, I'd heard the name. I had never heard a Jonas Brothers song until Sucker."

Kevin Jonas lost 'almost all' his fortune
Kevin Jonas lost "almost all" of his fortune when the Jonas Brothers were on hiatus. The 37-year-old singer - who began his career in 2005 - admitted he has gone through highs and lows with his finances, and things were particularly bad when the Sucker hitmakers were on a break from 2012 to 2019. Speaking to Lewis Howes on The School of Greatness podcast, he said: 'I've seen the beginning of the success to financial success — not knowing what money really was and understanding it — to not having [it], to losing almost all of it." Kevin attributed the lost of his wealth to a number of "bad business deals' that took place around 'nine years ago.' Lewis asked: 'You almost lost all your money?' His guest clarified: "Yeah, most of it, like, down to the one 10 percent left.' Kevin explained he had 'invested in a bunch of property' but 'sadly' it just 'wasn't the right partnership.' However, the Camp Rock star - who has daughters Angelina, 10, and Valentina, eight, with wife Danielle - suggested he couldn't speak about the situation for legal reasons. He said: "I can't really get too much into it.' During the group's hiatius, Kevin formed a residential development company, JonasWerner, which built custom mansions within a commuting distance of Manhattan, invested in a food app called Yood and partnered with a new tech venture, We Hear It. The Jonas Brothers, which also includes Kevin's younger siblings, Joe, 35, and Nick, 32, reformed in 2019 and Kevin has learned a lot from the difficult times. He said: 'I learned this lesson — never wanted to learn it, but I did. 'But then, at the same time, reevaluated how to approach life and — from that perspective, and look into the future. At the same time, I was able to really feel honoured that we could have a second shot at it.' Kevin's brothers were also on the podcast, and Joe admittted he and his siblings needed to learn to "trust" one another again before the group could get back together. He said: 'We all had to go figure out creatively what we could do on our own. We call it a break-up, but we had no intent of getting back together. 'There was too much under the rug to roll up … We had to trust each other a bit more with being, like, 'Actually, you are good in this band. You are talented. All of us and for different reasons.'' Ultimately, he realised: 'We can all share the spotlight, we could all share the studio, and we could all share songwriting, and we could all share money.'
