Gossip Teen

Victoria Justice is heading to the big screen.

The Nickelodeon star has landed the lead role in Fun Size, the feature film debut from Josh Schwartz, creator of The O.C.

The Hollywood Reporter says the plot “centers on a sarcastic teenage girl who is forced to take her little brother trick-or-treating on Halloween, then loses him and must find him before their mother finds out.”

Filming should begin this spring and it has a possible release date of October 2012.

Schwartz has two television pilots currently going for The CW – Hart of Dixie, starring Rachel Bilson and Georgetown with Katie Cassidy.

Justice will perform “Beggin’ On Your Knees’ at the Kids Choice Awards on April 2nd, hosted by Jack Black.

Josh Hutcherson and the cast of Red Dawn strike a pose in the first photo of the reboot to hit the internet (see the full cast shot inside.)

The film has been completed for a while, but has lingered without release because of the studio’s (MGM) financial problems. Now that MGM is in chapter 11 (which is bankruptcy, but allows the company to reform, restructure and pay off creditors slowly,) Dawn may see the light of day in theaters later this year.

The 80s original version of the movie (starring Charlie Sheen, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey and the late Patrick Swayze,) was about a band of teenagers who came together to fight the Russians invading America. The new reboot stars Hutcherson, Connor Cruise, Chris Hemsworth, Isabelle Lucas and Josh Peck who fight the fictional Chinese take over of the U.S.

The Wizard of Oz is not immune to a Hollywood style reboot. L. Frank Baum’s classic is getting a shiny new version by his nephew Roger S. Baum, and Lea Michele of Glee gets the Dorothy Gale role. Dorothy of Oz, the animated 3D film, will have the awesome Michele’s vocal talents and Dorothy gets new adventures and new friends. This represents the actress’s first film role. The film is set to wrap up at the end of next year.

Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez will be featured in the Disney Parks 2009 Christmas Day Parade. The actress was filming the event on November 7th and this holiday themed picture of her with a ‘santa-fied’ version of Stitch was released. Very cute.

Taylor Swift will be in your living room – yours! – if you buy ‘Band Hero’ the new game from Activision.

“Allowing budding pop stars the ability to perform with friends and family in living rooms across the globe or take their new found fame on the road as they command center stage with their band anywhere they choose, “Band Hero” confirmed today additional songs from both the console and Nintendo DS Lite set lists, comprised of the most fun to play, chart-topping hits. When the games ship on November 3, fans can live out their music fantasies as they step on stage as their favorite music superstars, including singer/songwriter Taylor Swift…”

The avatar of her is really good.
