Gossip Teen

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.

How much do you love Glee? Live in the Pacific Northwest? Then get ready to get in touch with your inner Gleek and dance, sing and perform for the unsuspecting citizens of Seattle, Washington on Saturday April 10th.

One Degree Events is organizing the spontaneous-looking (yet not) event and there will be three locations around the Seattle area for you to participate in. Final locations are on their Facebook page, so log in and spread the word.

Vanessa Hudgens and Hayden Panettiere are spokesmodels for Neutrogena and turned up Saturday afternoon at Neutrogena Fresh Faces of Music at Jim Henson Studios in Hollywood. The event was held to benefit VH1′s Save The Music Foundation and singer Jordan Pruitt performed for the crowd. The Heroes and Sucker Punch actresses looked lovely in coordinating beige/nude colored dresses.

iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove is happy with her life the way it is – no crazy paparazzi train following her every move.

“I don’t think I’d want to be constantly followed by paparazzi,” 16-year-old Cosgrove told the Daily News. “All of my friends are from elementary school – they’re not in the business at all – so I’m usually just hanging out with them. I don’t do anything too crazy.”

The Nickelodeon show is a huge hit and has a special coming up Saturday August 8th – iFight Shelby Marx with Victoria Justice guest starring. Cosgrove and Justice had a stunt coordinator who taught both teens boxing and some martial arts.

“We’d practice on mats, and we did this one thing where she took me down and I tried to scurry away but she grabbed my leg and pulled me back,” Cosgrove said. “It was totally crazy and really fun. One of the takes, I just ran in circles with [Victoria] chasing me around.”

Sounds like it will be a fun episode. How can you not love Miranda and Victoria?
