Joe Jonas: Valentine's Day Just Got a Little Sweeter

Pop music sensation said to be finalizing deal to appear in director Garry Marshall's star-studded romantic comedy

Joe Jonas is moving up the movie-star ladder.

I just got word that Joe is close to joining Hollywood hotshots like Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie Foxx and Queen Latifah in director Garry Marshall's romantic comedy Valentine's Day.

Yup, the same movie that also has appearances by Joe's ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift, Twilight star Taylor Lautner and Emma Roberts.

No word on Joe's role, but...

I'm told he will not be playing himself. The film, about intertwining couples and singles living in Los Angeles, started shooting about three weeks ago and is scheduled to wrap in October.

Not sure when Joe will be able to shoot the movie, because the current Jonas Brothers tour has him on the road until at least Thanksgiving.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift may do more than act in Valentine's Day. I'm told she's close to signing a deal to record a song for the movie's soundtrack.
