iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove has much to be thankful for this year – the 18-year-old actress made a remarkable recovery after a bus accident cut the legs out from underneath her 2011 tour (excuse the pun) and recently landed the cover of Girl’s Life Magazine.

Inside the pages of GLM, Cosgrove dishes about how going through surgery after the accident really changed her – for the better.

When anybody goes through something hard like that, it does something to them. Even though it was a bad accident, it changed me in a lot of good ways.

One of the first things I thought after surgery was, ‘Oh my gosh, driving isn’t going to be as fun now.’ But I’m over it and can’t wait!

Miranda also opened up about her love affair with iCarly costar, Nathan Kress.  Just kidding, but seriously, don’t you agree that these two need to hook up already?

I went on my first blind date last week. I think it was good for me to try that, just to go in not knowing much and be able to talk about anything. When I meet boys, I measure them on a Nathan scale.

YAY!! Nickelodeon star, Miranda Cosgrove and the rest of the troupe, Jennette McCurdy, Noah Munck, Nathan Kress and Jerry Trainor, will return to our screens with the fifth season of iCarly in 2012.

“Our audience will be psyched to get more of what they love – new episodes of their favorite show, iCarly,” said Marjorie Cohn, Nickelodeon’s president of original programming and development.

iCarly has been a major success for Nick. Last week’s episode “iOMG” had more than 7.4 million views and was the most watched basic cable program. It also made the top of cable’s top kids’ telecast this year.

13 new episodes were ordered for the fifth season, which will begin production in 2012. The season will premiere later that year.

Congratulations, iCarly!!

Miranda Cosgrove chatted with late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel on his show Tuesday night. The iCarly star was super sweet and talked about going on a date and her mom following behind, performing before Ludacris and the Jack Black special coming up Friday night “iStart a Fan War.”

Back in August, Miranda Cosgrove tweeted about a special guest for her Nickelodeon show, iCarly. Funnyman Jack Black was the celeb she told us about and now we know when his episode, “iStart A Fan War,” will be: November 19th. In the epi, Black will face off against Spencer (Jerry Trainor) as mega gamers who go head to head in a cyber duel.

Not only will we get to see Black and Cosgrove reunite (the duo starred in the movie School of Rock,) there are also surprise cameos from Drake and Josh stars and Zoey 101 cast. Will we get to see Josh Peck, Drake Bell and Victoria Justice with Miranda, Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress? That would be awesome.

Noah Munck has been added to the movie Bad Teacher, starring Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, Molly Shannon and Jason Segel. The iCarly actor will play Tristan in the flick which has begun filming in Los Angeles. The synopsis for the film:

A comedy centered around a foul-mouthed, junior high teacher who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague — a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher.

iCarly has a new episode hitting Nickelodeon on Saturday October 2nd.

Carly (Miranda Cosgrove) is selling T-shirts in “iSell Penny Tees” and Sam (Jennette McCurdy) is recruiting fourth graders to make the shirts that raise money for Freddie (Nathan Kress) and his high-tech habits. Above is the preview.

iCarly actress Jennette McCurdy spent her Saturday afternoon trying to skateboard while hula hooping – impressive! McCurdy posted this cute shot of herself on her twitter and said

I love that she said “Bazinga!”  Too funny!

Sadly, Friday (September 17th) was the last day of filming for this season of iCarly, but we still have a few great episodes left to see – the Jack Black guest star and Victorious cross over episodes are still to come. This has been a great season of the Nickelodeon show.

Nickelodeon’s hot iCarly and Victorious! will have a crossover episode coming soon. Creator of both shows, Dan Schneider has been working steadily on the script and he tweeted:

Writing the script for the iCarly-Victorious HUGE crossover SPECIAL has been like a month-long marathon. WHEW! I’ll finish it TODAY!

Miranda Cosgrove, Victoria Justice, Jennette McCurdy, Avan Jogia, Nathan Kress, Ariana Grande and everyone are expected to start working on the special this week. No details yet as to storyline or when it will air- hopefully some tidbits will come out soon!

McCurdy posted the pic above on her twitter of her lunch with the gang. Everyone is ready and waiting for this special!

iCarly star Jennette McCurdy is currently busy promoting her debut country album titled “Not That Far Away”. The 18 year-old worked with some big names in country music to deliver something that would “strike a chord” and touch people, while staying true to herself as an artist. Jennette is proud to be a country star!

On why she chose country over pop: “It’s always been my favorite. I found that I could relate to it more than any other genre and I felt like it was so honest. It told stories like nothing else and it spilled everything right out on the table. There’s hardly a country song that plays that doesn’t make you smile and want to dance or want to make you have a tear trickling down your cheek, so for country music to evoke those kinds of emotions, I guess that’s what drew me towards it.”

On her album telling people who she is: “I really wanted to just be honest to myself, stay true to myself with every song and deliver a CD that I felt reflected who I am as a person and tell the stories of my life because I feel that that’s what people will relate to the most. Country music strikes a chord in peoples hearts that makes you think ‘wow! I know exactly what they’re talking about. I felt that before.’ I wanted people to be able to feel the same thing and I felt that could only be accomplished if I really wrote what I knew.”

Jennette’s “Not That Far Away” is available on iTunes.
