On Wednesday night, PAPER Magazine presented their annual Sounds Like PAPER concert in celebration of their summer music issue at the HOUSE OF VANS with special performances by Joe Jonas and Swizz Beatz! And, it was a HOT one for BOTH performers despite NY Daily magazine’s grim report.

The NY Daily News is reporting that Joe Jonas’ solo debut at Williamsburg was basically unpleasant and a big fat fail saying that

The middle Jonas brother got a rough reception in Brooklyn’s hipster capital on Wednesday night when audience members at the Paper magazine party pelted him with mini-basketballs and greeted his performance with a mixture of derision and stony silence.

Pelted with balls and a nasty reception? Not exactly.

Executive Editor of Paper Magazine, Alexis Swerdloff told Celebrity VIP Lounge exclusively that “As someone who was standing in the middle of the crowd during the entire performance, I can say that yes, there were a few balls thrown onto the stage — but they were promotional balls that were being thrown around all night — and that Joe was hardly met with stony silence! Rabid fans lined up around the block hours before the performance and were screaming throughout. We wish, however, that Joe had used his newly sculpted mega-arms (which this hipster definitely noticed) to throw a ball back into the audience.”

Industry VIPs, friends and fans alike enjoyed the private concert by the newly minted solo star and mega-producer turned leading man. Joe performed his racy new single Love Slayer for his adoring fans and Swizz played a set of his iconic hits as well as tracks from his new album.

In other words, the night was a success and Jonas still has his balls intact.
