I’ve actually been listening to this song every day for a week because I have loved it so much. Yesterday the song was released a day early and shot straight to number 1 on iTunes and at this rate, it is sure to become a summer hit. Ariana is such a young and talented singer and this is a fantastic start to her singing career.
And as a bonus, her singing a verse of this song acapella.
Last night was the series finale of Victorious and though I don’t think any of us were ready for it to end, it happened. I’ve been a fan of Victoria Justice since her days on Zoey 101 so when I learned that she would be having her own show on Nickelodeon, I was a little bit excited. Yeah, whatever I’m 22. But have you seen the show? It’s hilarious – and my two little cousins absolutely adore it so it always reminded me of them. The finale was disappointing because there was never really any closure between the characters. We didn’t end up seeing what happened to them or where they ended up. We never got a last performance and we were only restricted to 30 minutes.
Victoria Justice, however, thought we deserved more so she wrote an open letter to all of her fans thanking everyone for the support over the last couple of years and where the characters ended up.
Her headlining tour? Um. Count me in.
You can make fun of me for watching Nickelodeon’s Victorious all you want, but there is no way you can tell me that you didn’t enjoy this.

The girl certainly knows what works. She generally is drawn towards similar gowns that are flowy and neutral colored for most award shows, but it always seems to work!
I’m going to be my favorite Rugrats character Kimi! Just clearing up rumors…in case any of you thought I was actually going to be Easy Mac.
If you haven’t heard of Lily Collins yet, that will soon change! Lily is the daughter of Phil Collins, but she has been actively working towards her career endeavors since she was a teenager. Her first gig as a Nickelodeon correspondent helped launched her into acting roles including Sandra Bullock’s daughter in The Blind Side and now opposite on-screen and off-screen boyfriend Taylor Lautner in Abduction. The girl also just happens to be a star on the red carpet as well. Surprising? Not really.
Lily Collins looks absolutely stunning in her feature for ASOS and in her InStyle outtakes. Lily, the daughter of musician Phil Collins, has been working hard these past few years to build up her career in Hollywood first starting out as a correspondent for Nickelodeon at 18 and then moving to the big screen as Sandra Bullock’s daughter in The Blind Side. Next, we’ll be able to catch Lily alongside Taylor Lautner in their new action thriller flick Abduction.

Hooray. This is the longest In the News…posting I have ever made.
Selena Gomez in Christian Cota
Most of the time, my favorite red-carpet (in this case – orange carpet) outfits are ones that involve dresses, but Selena Gomez stole the show last night in her Christian Cota outfit and strappy blue sandals. This is a perfect outfit for spring and the shoes definitely give it a little extra pop.
Power Rangers Samurai? Really? Nice costumes.
The acting portrayed in that trailer is a piece of work.
Hollywood Life has reported that Miley Cyrus has moved on to 18-year-old actor Avan Jogia. Nice choice, Miley. Avan plays Beck on Nickelodeon’s Victorious. Anyone besides me watch that show? The guy has got a nice face though…weird for me to say since I’m older than him? Nahhh. Personally, I want to see him dating Victoria Justice instead of Miley so hopefully this rumor is just a rumor.
PS: Did anyone get tickets to Miley’s secret concert promoted by Microsoft happening tomorrow in Bellevue?!
