EXCLUSIVE: Jess from The Veronicas...

Jess of The Veronicas calls up The Ralphie Radio Show to chat about 90210, the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in The World list, "Take Me On The Floor", and headlining 97 BHT's "Summer Jam 2009".

Part 1: "90210", Summer Jam, Drunk Dialing/Texting

Part 2: "Take Me On The Floor", FHM 100 Sexiest Women

More about Summer Jam here.

FHM calls her one of the most sexiest women in the world. In her home country of Australia, the singer's personal life creates as many headlines as the music she makes with her twin sister, Lisa. And you don't have to travel any further than the duo's latest single to pick up on the bisexual tendacies. 

Jess Origliasso comprises one half of the power-pop group The Veronicas. The Australian-imports will headline 97 BHT's Summer Jam 2009 on June 6 - coincidentally enough, my 24th birthday.

"You're a younger man than me!" Jess exclaimed after I informed her how old I'd be turning. Of course, Origliasso isn't that much my elder - her birthday is on December 25, 1984. I immediately rebuffed that our age difference is not notable.

"You can prove me wrong when we see you babe," the singer responded - as I immediately began to wonder if Jess flirted with all radio DJs like this.

Anyways, what is notable is The Veronicas current run in America - they haven't gained this much attention in the states since Lisa dated Ryan Cabrera. "Untouched", the first single from Hook Me Up, gained a solid amount of radio airplay across the nation, and suddenly the group became relevant again, sans the rumored relationships.

Now the sisters are touring the country and popping up on television, with a recent cameo on The CW's 90210.

"We were doing a show in Ohio, and they had the TV's on while we were on stage," Jess said. "(The cameo) came on as we were on stage." 

Speaking of female-friendly TV shows, The Veronicas currently have The Pretty Reckless opening up for them. TPR, also on the Summer Jam bill, is fronted by Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen.

"She's a really cool chick," Jess commented on Momsen. "We're always giving support and power to women in music."

But the ladies tour and support the fellas too - most recently The White Tie Affair. When I spoke with lead singer Chris Wallace a few weeks ago, the Chicago-native insisted I bring up his name during the interview.

"We drunk text each other all the time," revealed Origliasso. "We have lovely drunk text conversations."

Jess didn't elaborate, although if you listened or read about my interview with TWTA, I could only imagine what those messages entailed. 

I suppose all of the aforementioned comes with the territory when you and your sister are named the second most beautiful women in the world by FHM. If you're wondering, the ladies lost out on the top spot to actress Megan Fox.

"She's pretty sexy," said Origliasso of The Transformers star. I immediately responded that it sounded as if she had a crush on Fox. "She's gorgeous, who wouldn't?"

Yup, let the rumors begin.
