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.

Lucas Cruikshank is an ordinary teen from Nebraska. His parents have the money, he drives hand-me-down vehicles and he has to mow the lawn. He wants to be an actor and took the character he created Fred Figglehorn to youtube and became an internet sensation. He had a guest spot on iCarly and on Hannah Montana and his acting dreams are starting to take off. Nickelodeon loved the character so much, they produced Fred The Movie. Lucas may even get his own show for for the cable kids network.

Where did the idea of Fred come from? Cruikshank said his younger brothers gave him the initial spark for his character:

He’s Inspired by His Family
Cruikshank, who is the fourth of eight kids, says his main influences for the Fred Figglehorn character are his little brothers. “They were crazy little kids, and I exaggerated what they did and made Fred like them,” he tells PEOPLE. “I get a lot of ideas living in a huge family.”

If you missed Fred The Movie (with John Cena, Pixie Lott and Jennette McCurdy) on Nickelodeon last night, it airs again, Sunday night September 19th at 8pm EST.

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.
