Miranda Cosgrove premiered her new song ‘Kissin U’ with Ryan Seacrest. The iCarly actress said she’s been working on her album for a year and half and she wrote this song about someone she really likes a lot. She wouldn’t actually say who it was about (she jokes about it being Shia LaBeouf.) Who do you think she was talking about? (Nat Wolff?)

Check out the full version of her song below.

Victoria Justice has a lot to smile about. Her new show, Victorious! is set to debut on Nickelodeon, March 27th, following The Kids Choice Awards. She recently turned 17 and passed her drivers test and is the March cover girl for Lá Teen. She is also the latest teen actress to cover Inspire Magazine. From the interview:

What do you hope to achieve this year and the coming years?

I just achieved one of my goals for this year and that was to get my driver’s permit. I just passed the day before my birthday, so that was very cool. I’m also looking forward to passing my driving test in six months and getting a regular license.

Professional goals would be to really start working on my music, (writing more), when the show wraps in April. As for the coming years, I always want to keep working on the craft to be the best actor that I can be. The same goes for music. I just want to keep learning and trying new things. I just would like to keep working on projects that I’d be proud of.

Check out the rest of her interview at Inspire Magazine.

Leighton Meester will once again be on Hugh Laurie’s radar. The Gossip Girl star was a guest for two episodes on Laurie’s hit show House, M.D. back in 2006. Now the duo will make big screen magic as lovers for the indie film The Oranges.

The story about a man who falls for the daughter of a family friend and begins a relationship that turns everyone’s world topsy turvy, looks to start shooting in New York City in April. The pair had great chemistry the first time around, let’s hope they capture that spark again.

The cast of Glee will have a once in a lifetime opportunity this coming Easter. The First Lady, Michelle Obama has invited the lucky group to perform for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Sunday April 5th.

Rumor has it Mrs. O and her daughters are big fans of the show. And since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, Glee’s producers did some lickety-split schedule rejiggering in order to honor the request.

Malia and Sasha Obama and all the kids will have a blast. Wonder what they will perform?

Victoria Justice celebrates her 17th birthday today: February 19th. The Nickelodeon actress, who is filming her brand new tv show, Victorious, took to her twitter to announce how happy she was:

“Today’s officially my birthday!!!! I’m shocked that people are remembering haha. I have the best friends,family, and fans in the world”

She has a lot to celebrate - she passed her driver’s test on the 18th and she is the cover girl for the winter 2010 issue of SIX7*8th magazine.

Congrats and Happy B-day! Looking forward to her show’s premiere in March.

Looking back on 2009, Taylor Swift has some great memories. Rolling Stone magazine caught up with the Fearless singer/songwriter and asked her about her very successful year and what she’s looking forward to coming up. Here is an excerpt that isn’t in the magazine:

Can you tell me about any of the influences we might hear on your next record?
I’m always going to love Keith Urban, I’m always going to love John Mayer. I’m always going to love people like that, who I feel are truly authentic, and that’s not to say that my music will ever sound like theirs, but I’m inspired by people who I feel know exactly who they are, and that inspires me to continue to figure out and inform who I am as an artist.

What I was getting at was when are you going to start rapping? I thought T-Sweezy was one of the highlights of 2009.
Did you really? [Laughs] The CMT Awards asked me, “Do you want to be a part of our intro?” and one of the first things that came to my mind was that I really, really want some excuse to be able to rap and go to the mall and go to those kiosk things and go buy bling and experience rapping in front of a car with spinners for the first time. T-Pain agreed to it and flew to Nashville and we were in a sweltering hot, 95-degree parking garage for an entire day shooting — I will never, ever forget that memory.

Check out the rest of RS’s catch up questions with Taylor in the current issue of Rolling Stone (John Mayer is the cover boy) on newsstands now.

The actress of the upcoming movie The Last Song, will be spending her Christmas in the UK while touring, said she was unsure if she’d like British food.

“It’s a bit weird being in a different country that I’m used to, I’m like, ‘Is the food going to be the same as home?’ and I was kind of stressed about that. But it’s pretty similar, you know, there are some things I’ve got to get accustomed to.”

Below are pics of the singer sampling the most American of drink companies: Starbucks.

“My throat is yelling at me to shut up. Strep is the worst thing ever,” she wrote. “Thank you, Salt Lake, for being so amazing and supportive. My body is done with me working it so hard. Off to have a very nice peaceful sleep.”According to her tweets, dad Billy Ray and sister Noah have been keeping the singer’s spirits up until she gets better. “Nurse Noah is taking good care of me tonight.

According to MTV.com her next show is Saturday night, October 3rd in Kansas City MO. Let’s hope she feels well enough by tomorrow to perform, but if she’s not up to it, it will be better for her stay in bed - although fans will be disappointed. Then she can reschedule and give it her all.
