Gossip Teen

Jackson Rathbone‘s latest movie effort, Girlfriend premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this week and earned high marks from critics and fans alike.

The story revolves around Evan (Evan Sneider) a young man with Down’s Syndrome, who inherits a large sum of money and has long had a crush on Candy (Shannon Woodward) who finds herself in trouble financially. When Candy needs money because her lousy ex Russ (Rathbone) isn’t making his payment, Evan gives her what she needs to keep from being evicted. Evan wants Candy as his girlfriend but Candy is juggling the ex and a married boyfriend. Money and unrequited love are generally a bad mix.

In the behind-the-scenes clip below, Russ gets into a fight with Kenny (Jerad Anderson, also in the band 100 Monkeys with Jackson.) The official trailer is below as well.

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!

Jackson Rathbone has had a very successful year. The actor has toured with his band 100 Monkeys, starred in two of the summer’s biggest blockbusters, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Last Airbender and their is the soon-to-hit-theaters movie Girlfriend, which he co-produced (and has a role in.)

Fox 5 caught up with the good natured Rathbone on the 2010 Teen Choice Awards blue carpet and asked him about the satirical movie Vampires Suck, his crazy year and about his fondest memories of school. Check it above.

The Vampire Diaries went out with a bang this season. Fingers and superpowered rings went flying, more burning vampires, the sad end of Anna (Malese Jow) and that kiss between Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and (Nina Dobrev’s) Elena, err Katherine… How does the show top all of that for season 2?

Executive producer Julie Plec gives up some serious sophmore year scoopage: Elena and Katherine (related? check!) Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Matt (Zach Roerig) forge a friendship and the werewolves are coming! the werewolves are coming!

Plec says writer Kevin Williamson is working on getting all our favorite characters more involved in the overall mythology of the show: Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino) and Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) will get more screen time – Yes!

I want to know – is there a Bonnie (Katerina Graham) and Damon romance in this season? I can wait for season 3, if I must, but I am totally on Team Bamon.

What do you want to have happen for season 2?

Stunning actress Aimee Teegarden is set to star in Beautiful Waves a surfing coming of age film. Patricia Richardson from tv’s Home Improvement and City Slicker’s Helen Slater co-star with the Friday Night Lights break out star.

“Wave” centers on a teenager (Teegarden) who goes to live with her grandmother (Richardson) in Santa Cruz, Calif., one summer and discovers the sport of surfing — and a family secret as well. Stuart Cameron is producing; Teegarden will make her producing debut as associate producer.

Could be similar to Blue Crush a few years ago with Kate Bosworth but any girl-surfing flick is good in my book.

‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson has a busy year ahead of him. With the vampire sequel ‘New Moon’ scheduled to start filming and his latest movie ‘Little Ashes’  both happening in March 2009 and an (as yet) uncomfirmed role in ‘Ohio,’  the in demand actor may be headed to London’s West End theater district. David Pugh, the producer who brought Daniel Radcliffe to the live stage in the revival of Equus, has confirmed to Variety that he will be developing something with Pattinson for the year 2010. It is the perfect time for him to expand his acting career to theater if he wants.
