14 year-old Caitlin Sanchez, who has been the voice of Nickelodeon’s “Dora, The Explorer” for the past three years, was recently fired after she filed a lawsuit claiming the network cheated her out of millions when they “forced” her to sign a contract in 22 minutes without a lawyer present.

Caitlin’s mother, Hilda Sanchez, released voicemails from Nickelodeon’s Vice President Of Communications to prove they have only decided to fire her daughter because of the lawsuit and not because Caitlin’s voice was changing. Hilda claims Nick fired Caitlin to “discredit” her legal claims.

In fact, in the recording, the exec tells Hilda, “We just wanted to reiterate to you … that we are very excited about continuing to work with Caitlin. She’s the face and voice for the next, basically, two years … we have no plans of making that any different.”

Caitlin was notified on June 30 she would no longer voice the character. A rep for Nick tells TMZ, “The conversation in question with the Nickelodeon press department was in specific reference to public and PR appearances. It was clearly not about portraying the voice of the character for the television show. The Nickelodeon statement we released last week is unquestionably accurate.”

Poor Dora!! Nickelodeon, we want our Dora back!!

Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer are starring in I Am Number Four and here are some behind the scenes photos of the two stars. Agron, who filmed this on break from her hit TV show, told interviews how her character Sarah was different from Quinn on Glee:

What do you say is very defining about your character in this movie?

Agron:  I’ve been describing this movie to a lot of my friends as “Its very much The Breakfast Club, Rebel Without a Cause.”  It’s those movies.  The underdogs, in a very different way than Glee.   Glee is also about…it kind of has the underdog theme.  But this is more about these very adult teens, who are kind of on this journey and they don’t quite know for very different reasons why they don’t quite fit in, or they are starting to realize why they don’t quite fit in.  With Sarah, she’s smart and she knows what she wants.  But she’s not going to compromise herself anymore within her high school to be “accepted”, or popular, or anything like that.  She’s found her niche in photography and it’s something that really drives her.  She’s just kind of holding out until she can leave town, and kind of go on her own, and blossom even more.  But until then, she meets this character John.  And it’s almost like a chance to start over with him because he’s from out of town, there’s something kind of mysterious about him, but he’s kind to her. They very quickly form this very serious relationship and then when things get somewhat crazy…

This looks great and I can’t wait to see it. I Am Number Four hits theaters February 18, 2011.
