TWIST just chatted with Mikey Deleasa! He spilled all the deets about his upcoming tour and hanging out with the Jonas Brothers on Married to Jonas. Watch Mikey's exclusive performance for TWIST and check out our Q&A below!
XOXO,
TWIST
TWIST: Hi Mikey! Can you tell us about your upcoming tour?
Mikey Deleasa: I actually just found out about it! I'm doing some shows with Ryan Cabrera, and I'm definitely very excited about it! It starts in Connecticut and ends in Tennessee on November 7th.
TWIST: What do you have to bring with you when you're on tour?
Mikey Deleasa: I definitely need my phone when I'm on tour. But I'm pretty simple for the most part. I like to have my pillow. That's important! I will not use any hotel pillow or anything like that. I'm a man who knows his pillow very well.
TWIST: What's the songwriting process like for you?
Mikey Deleasa: I'll wind up starting an idea on my own and then I'll either bring it to the guys in the band or a producer. Sometimes I'll have a lyric that I really want to use that will come to me randomly, like if I'm sitting on a subway. I'll structure a whole song around just a lyric and an idea, and it builds from there.
TWIST: Which song of yours is particularly meaningful to you?
Mikey Deleasa: They're certainly all very meaningful. "It's Too Late" is definitely a song that gets me each time. That one was about being out in California while the other person was on the east coast and trying to deal with all that. That song always makes me reflect on that situation.
TWIST: How did you get started in music?
Mikey Deleasa: I've been playing since I was young. I started my first band in middle school, then just kept going with it. I had a band in high school. When college came, I parted ways with them and started a new band. While I was doing that I was working on a solo record. Some one out in LA heard the record, and he called me and said, "Hey, come out to LA. Let's do some work together." In two months I was moving out to LA.
TWIST: What's it like being on Married to Jonas?
Mikey Deleasa: Married to Jonas, it was fun. I never thought in a million years that I would be on a reality show. But it was definitely a fun experience to be back around my family.
TWIST: What's your relationship with the Jonas Brothers like?
Mikey Deleasa: Kevin and his brothers are great. Me and Kevin naturally are very close, he's my brother-in-law. Joe and I have a really great relationship. Then Nick is the workhorse. He's always working, but when he and I get to hang out it's fun as well.
TWIST: What's next for you?
Mikey Deleasa: I have the tour coming up. I'm going to be releasing a coffee table book with all the songs in it, all the artwork, and some additional photos from touring and the studio. I've also been doing a lot of writing, so I'm hopefully going to be having an EP out soon. Hopefully around February, but we'll see.
TWIST: Thanks for chatting with us Mikey!
Mikey Deleasa: Thanks!

TWIST just chatted with Rico Rodriguez about his guest appearance on The Haunting Hour, which airs tonight at 6/5c on The Hub! His episode is called "The Weeping Woman." Rico tells TWIST, "It's an old folk tale about this beautiful woman who falls in love with a man and has two kids. When her husband leaves for a long period of time, she starts to feel lonely, and out of retaliation against him, she drowns her kids [scary!]. So, legend has it that if you're near a river at night and hear crying, run away because that's a sign that La Llorona is there looking for her kids!" Rico spills that the set was so spooky, the actress that played La Llorona accidentally freaked out the other actors! He spills to TWIST, "In between scenes, the lady who was dressed as the weeping woman was walking around the corner at the same time I was coming around and she scared me!" Though Rico is used to comedy on Modern Family, he dishes to TWIST that filming for The Haunting Hour "was a lot of fun because I got to play a whole new character!"

TWIST just got back from hanging with the stars of Secret of the Wings and they spilled all the deets about the movie! It's the story of Tinker Bell, a summer fairy, who finds out she has a winter fairy sister named Periwinkle.

Mae Whitman, the voice of Tinker Bell, told TWIST, "It's so beautiful and fun, and it has such a nice energy." Matt Lanter, who plays winter fairy Sled, added, "It's a fun, feel-good movie."

One Direction's Niall Horan has been spotted with a new girl, and she's not his celeb crush Demi Lovato! She's a drama student named Amy Green. A source says that at last week's X Factor, "Niall was introducing Amy to people as his girlfriend and they were very happy from the look of things. He was kissing her when people weren't watching and seemed really into her. It's definitely early days but Amy was on his arm as a girlfriend not just a girl friend. They're very cute together."

Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) just spilled about the twist in Breaking Dawn Part 2, and now Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) is revealing her favorite part of the movie. She confessed, "Some people have really strong natural instincts, a really strong desire to be a mom. There was never enough about that in the script for me.
