Jesse McCartney on the Jonas Brothers & the Food Network

In a recent interview with Parade magazine, Jesse McCartney had some interesting things to say. The singer spoke a bit about pop band, the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings as well as charities, the Food Network and finding the right girl for him.80329a1_mccartney_j_b_gr_01

On the Jonas Brothers, Jesse says, “I never wore a promise ring like them. It’s a big step for them to be open about their virginity. I’ve seen them take a lot of heat. But I respect them, if that’s what they want to do. It’s cool.”

On charity work, “She’s [my mom] a cool chick… [I] grew up in a Christian household. We went to church every Sunday. I do think it’s my duty to give back. That’s why I’m involved with St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Bono is my inspiration not only as a rock star but as a humanitarian. We aren’t just put on this earth to sell records. Maybe it’s because of my upbringing, but I do consider myself a moral guy.”

On what he likes to watch on television, “All I watch is the Food Network. I took a cheese making class a few weeks ago, and I told my family and friends to only get me kitchen stuff on my birthday. I’m into every kind of cookbook and anything by Anthony Bourdain. I’d love to own a restaurant if I could find the right chef.”

When asked about what he’s looking for in a dream girl he says, : “She’ll have to be someone who likes to eat my cooking. Or, at least, she’ll have to pretend.”

Well, that was a fun interview! Who new Jesse was interested into cooking?! Sounds like he’ll make a good husband for a lucky girl who won’t have to worry about dinner every night!
