Joe Jonas recently sat down with MTV News, and in the middle of the conversation, he recalled what had to be one of his worst days ever. It was a day that included a stolen bike, a ruined ice cream cone and a loss for his favorite baseball team, the Yankees.

Here’s the tale of woe, straight from the source. He said, “All the time [I go biking]. Actually, my bike was stolen – it really was. I had a bike; literally it was my best friend. I rode it everywhere and in the middle of the day, it was sunny out me and Nick were shopping in SoHo. I locked it up on Prince and Mercer, so it’s a pretty busy street.

“Locked it up, a good lock, I mean it wasn’t a heavy duty lock,” he continued. “And I came back ten minutes later and it was gone … it’s really tough. I’m OK now, but at the time I was pretty depressed.”

Nick, being the good baby bro he is, tried to cheer him up. “Then Nick was like, ‘Let me buy you ice cream. It’ll make you feel better,’ cause ice cream makes anyone feel better for that five minutes and then you feel like crap afterwards. But then I dropped my ice cream cone on the ground and everybody around me was literally like, ‘Awww.’ It was so sad.”

But, it gets worse. “And then I went to a Yankees game and the Yankees lost horribly,” he added. “It was the worst day ever. I was [like], ‘Can I just go to bed now?’”

This swoon-worthy singer wants to raise money and awareness for the special olympics, mentor teens with a dream, and dress like David Beckham. Read on to find out what else he has in store.

Joe Jonas, the middle brother in the famed Jonas Brother trio, isn’t simply content to make music, movies, and television. His fans inspired him to get involved with the Special Olympics and he’s since gotten thousands of people involved in his “fun runs” across the country.

When ACUVUE approached Joe about being involved with their 1-DAY Contest, he jumped at the chance. The contest gives people the opportunity to be mentored for a day by stars like Joe, Demi Lovato, Tyler Blackburn and more. If you’re interested in meeting one of your favorite celebs, log on to ACUVUE’s YouTube channel to find out how to enter.

Joe also spilled on which stars influence his style and why he thinks he’s a fashion risk taker.

How did you originally get involved with the Acuvue 1-Day contest?
“About two years ago, they reached out to me about working with them on this project. It made sense because I wear contacts and I also love the idea of being able to help somebody and mentor them through a dream they have. For me, my 1-Day dream was always to do something with the Special Olympics.”

Did you have a vision when you were younger of your 1-Day and has that changed over time?
“It has changed over time. I have a bigger, broader spectrum of what I can do. At first, it was talking with my friends about a fun run for the Special Olympics. And we wanted everyone to get together and run and raise money for the Special Olympics. It went from about six hundred people to thousands. I thought it was crazy that this small idea can actually happen—what else can we do?”

“A few years later, I went in front of Congress. Not every state has the Special Olympics. The fact that I could walk in with camera crews, and these heads of states are obviously not going to just say no, it was encouraging and exciting! Taking it full circle and being able to encourage someone else was a dream come true.”

What made you chose the Special Olympics as your charity?
“I would get on stage and perform in front of different crowds around the world and see—whether they were Special Olympics athletes or teens affected with intellectual disabilities—the joy that people had at my concerts. I had to do something for them because they were bringing me such joy.”

Do you have any advice for teens that want to set long term goals and tips for achieving those goals?
“I know it sounds clichéd, but practice makes perfect. With music and acting, you can never just be the best. You always have to challenge yourself, and, growing up in a band with brothers, we pushed each other to make better music and to focus. On the charitable side, it’s about coming up with bigger and newer ideas. It’s not always about money, it’s about community and getting people involved.”

How do you recommend someone start the ball rolling if they feel inspired to help others?
“Get your family and friends involved. They’re the ones that are going to support you the most. They’re the ones that’ll be there no matter what. Don’t be afraid of asking people around you because you never know—at least ask.”

What are some qualities that you think make someone a good mentor?
“My father is my mentor and a friend. As an adult, from father to friend, he’s encouraging no matter what. As a mentee, learning to take creative and constructive criticism is important. You understand what you have to do to further your career and ideas. You have to be able to listen.”

How would you describe your personal style?
“I like colors—they’re really fun. Compared to my brothers, I’m more of a risk taker when it comes to clothes.”

Are there any celebrities past or present that have influenced your look or inspired your look?
“I always look at artists or other musicians or actors. I love athletes like David Beckham and Dwyane Wade and how they wear clothes. They dress up, look really sharp, and have a sense of style. They aren’t just athletes that wear big suits. I’ve always observed Mick Jagger and he’s always worn cool clothes and gotten away with it.”

How would you describe your personal style?
“There’s this thing called the Peanut. It’s a beard trimmer and it’s really good. It’s really phat because I wake up, use it, and go. It’s safe!”

What do Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry and Joe Jonas have in common? Well, aside from being internationally renowned pop stars, all three are involved in a new campaign Pepsi has just launched. “Live for Now” focuses on the motto “carpe diem” and celebrates spontaneity through events, digital marketing and, of course, musical partnerships.

For Jonas, the opportunity to spread that message fits with his own philosophy about living life to the fullest. “It’s, I think, a good match. A lot of stuff that I love to do is spontaneous, last minute and living in the moment,” he explained to MTV News. “And what better way to encourage people and my fans to be able to live in the moment? ‘Live for Now’ is tweeting about it and getting them involved.”

As for being the face of the campaign alongside Perry and Minaj (whose Pepsi ads already debuted), well, for Joe, that was icing on the cake. “I’m in great company: Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, more people to come, it’s an incredible little circle right now,” he explained.

“So, hopefully, we’ll all be able to do something together one day. But, as for now, just being able to do it individually and encourage their fans, my fans to get out there, or whomever, and be able to send in their little videos or pictures of them doing things that are in the moment.”

And, he added, those moments can be big or small. “I love being able to travel, take trips,” he said. “I called my buddies up. I literally called one of my best friends [brother-in-law Mikey Deleasa], he showed up to my house in New York, and I’m like, ‘Hey, what are you doing tomorrow? Let’s go to Vegas. Let’s do it!’ We had an incredible trip. We went to the Mayweather fight, and living in the moment and having a good time.

“But, if you can’t take Vegas trips on the weekend, there’s amazing things to do probably in your area,” he added. “Or, a road trip with your friends is always great.”

Earlier this month, Pepsi announced that Michael Jackson, who struck a deal with the brand in 1984, will be featured on Pepsi cans as a part of the campaign. The cans arrive Stateside later this month.

Fox’s upcoming celebrity dating show The Choice has lined up a list of famous bachelors and bachelorettes to audition sexy singles in prime time.

EW.com has the complete list of celebrity contestants, the first photo from the set and some behind-the-scenes insight from Fox’s alternative series guru Mike Darnell.

The Choice has cast singer Joe Jonas, actor Dean Cain, fashion model Tyson Beckford, former American Idol star Taylor Hicks, Jersey Shore stars Pauly D and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, chef Rocco Dispirito, TV personality Rob Kardashian, former NFL star Warren Sapp and more (full list below). The female celebrities include actress Carmen Electra and model Hope Dworaczyk.

In each episode, four celebrities sit in spinning chairs and listen to non-famous prospective dates pitch themselves. Over the course of three rounds, the contestant pool is paired down until each celebrity has chosen their date for the evening (more details on the show’s origins and concept here).

“What started out as a goof ended up being a ridiculously good format,” says Fox’s Darnell, who was on hand during The Choice‘s recent taping. “It really feels like a hit. It was charming and funny… [The show] works beautifully. It’s going to sell all over the world.”

Five of the episodes will feature male celebrities; one episode puts women in the power seats. The contestants were unaware who the celebrities were until moments before they went on stage, but that didn’t stop the sparks. “The [female contestants] took it ridiculously seriously, like they were getting married,” Darnell says. “A couple of the setups really had chemistry.”

Though none of the celebrities bombed with the contestants, Jonas, Cain and Beckford were particularly sought after, as was Suburgatory actor Parker Young and, somewhat surprisingly, Dispirito.

The Choice is hosted by Cat Deeley, who Darnell says turned out to be a “perfect fit” for the show. The series will be paired with Fox’s other new dating show, Take Me Out, on Thursday nights starting June 7.

Here’s the full list of celebrity participants on Fox’s The Choice:
