Boy Band Hires Britney's Castoffs

TMZ has learned that Britney Spears' ex-assistant (and cousin), Felicia Culotta -- and former bodyguard, Big Rob, are both now working for up-and-coming Christianesque teen boy band, the Jonas Brothers. Oh my gawd!

Sources spotted Britney's old minions during a Jonas Bros. photo shoot for Teen magazine at Frittelli's donut shop in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. Sweet! Culotta spent years as the former popstar's assistant, but left her train wreck boss to become a corporate flight attendant -- silly girl, you can't get much higher than Ms. Spears!

While the Jonas Brothers are not former Mousketeers like Brit Brit, the Disney Channel is reportedly picking up their new spy series, "J.O.N.A.S." Let's hope that's where the similarities end!

16. They are managed by Johnny Wright who used to work with Britney...it's no suprise that her old team is working with Johnny's new acts. PS-- Bodyguards work on contract so they work for whoever needs them.

20. Google Feleicia Coulotta. She issued a big statement a few months ago before Britney went Really Bonkers. At least Feleicia Coulotta, an old and trusted family friend of Britney and her family, was honest and said the truth.

Good for her and Big Rob,who is known around the business to be a good , smart, capable bodyguard . I heard that from someone who works for a L.A. record compnay. M yneighbor told this and she works for the record company.

21. The Jonas brothers are NOT a boy band! They play their own instruments and there are no lame custom made matching outfits or ridiculously choreographed dance numbers. They are actually talented guys and I don't really get that they are an overtly Christian group. Also- the pilot they shot is fantastic. Two very talented and successful writers created it- Oscar nomination, NAACP award winning and British Academy award winner. It's a great piece of work.

22. Are you freaking kidding me?
I'm in love with the Jonas Brothers, and yes, there music is good, BUT THIS SHOW WILL RUIN THEIR FANS. This means, no more time for meet and greets, and we'll have to live with 5 year olds going to their concerts only because they're on Disney. I've been a fan since '05 and they dont need this.

26. I had the pleasure of meeting Felicia for the first time backstage yesterday and she was very professional, kind, and great at what she does. I think she's a perfect addition to the Jonas Bros. team, as well as Big Rob. In my opinion, you know you are on the map when you have them on your crew.

Also, as a recovering “boyband” addict (NKOTB, BSB, Nsync), now coming out with my daughter.....I can honestly say that the Jonas Brothers really have something that sets them apart from their predecessors. They are very talented, write and perform their own material, don’t have choreographed dance moves and are very humble, nice gentlemen. I really hope they stay that way and I believe they have a big future ahead of them.

27. Would've been nice if you would've done your homework on this one. It's an OLD story and you did check on the facts.

1. When these people worked under Britney who paid them? WEG (Johnny Wright)
2. Who manages the Jonas Brothers? WEG (Johnny Wright)

Thus they've never left anyone, they're still working for the same boss. Just another excuse to attract viewers on a story that means nothing.

Since you couldn't find a picture of Big Rob working for the Jonas Brothers... here's a little help.

28. Okay where do i start. The Jonas Brother's are not a Christian rock group, just because their father is a Catholic minister doesn't mean their group has to be Christian. I even hear Nick Jonas on an interview saying their Christians in a pop/rock band not a Christian pop/ rock band. Kids/famalies/young girls and young boys love to watch disney channel. Hannah Montana was a hit same with Lizzie McGuire by the way if Hilary Duff sings good then hell yeah so can the Jonas Brothers. So J.O.N.A.S will be too if they have 2 selling albums, singles and their song S.O.S is number 2 on iTunes. Plus on the other hand, Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas took a risk that risk was to make a band and succeed. That was a very good risk because they inspired loads of kids to start writing their own music and start singing and play the guitar. Frankly i think thats a very good accomplishment for young children. Personally I love the Jonas Brothers haven't missed out on 1 c.d. If you really are a fan of them you would try to give them some leaway and let them live their life's the way they want too. They're obvioulsy going to make headway in the future if they did in the past.

29. Well apparently you have never seen or heard the jonas brothers. They are not just a boy band- they dont dance in rhythym and they are extremely musically inclined.
