From a rumored Jonas Brothers reunion to a “Jersey Shore” comeback, here’s what some of our favorite New Jersey celebs are talking about this week.

‘Never Say Never’

Is there a Jonas Brothers reunion in the works? Rumors have been swirling that the Wyckoff-raised brothers may be putting their band back together after going their separate ways in 2013. In a new interview with Australia’s The Fix, Joe Jonas offered a bit of hope to the band’s loyal fans.

“I would love it down the road if the time was right,” he said. “There’s no promises, and we don’t really know exactly if it’s going to happen or not. But you never know. Never say never. As of right now, we’re all individually doing our own thing and supporting from afar but… We are family, so it’s easy to call each other up and keep the options open.

‘Fort Lee cops don’t play’

Wendy Williams talked about rapper Safaree being robbed at gunpoint in Fort Lee April 2 during her show. Safaree, whose real name is Safaree Samuels, was with another person when they told police they were robbed of $183,000 in jewelry and cash by three men, Capt. Matthew Hintze said in a statement.

“The two men, they were arrested because Fort Lee cops don’t play,” Williams said to a round of applause from the audience. “They don’t play right?”

What’s a celebrity?

She might be one of music’s brightest new stars, but Maplewood-raised singer Sza doesn’t seem all that interested in the celebrity life.

“I’m just a regular person trying to figure this (expletive) out,” the Grammy nominee, 28, said in an interview with GQ India.

“All I can do is be myself…So it’s like I can’t really become anything like a celebrity. Like, what is that?”

‘Life is Short’

With the success of his hit film “Black Panther” and more movies in the works, Newark-raised superstar Michael B. Jordan seems to be just getting started as he conquers Hollywood. And the 31-year-old actor is already thinking about the legacy he’ll leave behind.

“Life is short, you know?” he said in an interview with Men’s Health. “Then you see cats people are still talking about today. “I want to leave something behind. A blueprint. A work ethic. Something that my great-grandkids and their kids and their kids can see: This is where it started. Lineage. Intergenerational wealth. Things that are here forever. All that.”
