Gossip Teen

Call it The Fairly OddDrake…

Drake Bell will be back on Nickelodeon in 2011 as the pink hat loving 5th grade scamp in the live action movie A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up Timmy Turner! Bell, who is 24 years old, takes on the role of Timmy as a twenty something guy who refuses to grow up so he won’t lose his fairy godparents, Wanda (Cheryl Hines) and Cosmo (Jason Alexander.) Butch Hartman, creator of the super popular animated series says:

“I think fans of the series will love seeing the characters in this new way. Our mix of live-action and special effects animation will make them look ‘hyper-real’ and our goal is to make this movie as visually exciting as it will be funny.”

Daniella Monet of Victorious! will play Tootie, the girl Timmy might just decide to grow up for and leave his childhood behind.

The TV movie will debut sometime in 2011. It would be nice to see Drake back on TV.

Nickelodeon’s incredibly popular animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender is headed to the big screen with director M. Night Shymalan overseeing the live action film. Jackson Rathbone has left his Twilight character of Jasper Hale behind and plays Sokka, the wisecracking, boomerang-throwing Southern water tribe teen who, along with his sister Katara (Nicola Peltz) help airbender Aang (Noah Ringer) discover his true destiny and restore balance to the world. After casting controversy, Dev Patel has the role of Prince Zuko of the Fire nation and Jesse McCartney is not the banished prince.

The Last Airbender will hit theaters July 2nd, 2010.
