Victoria Justice knocked everyone out in her red dress at the 2011 Do Something Awards that took place at The Hollywood Palladium last weekend.

The 19 year-old Nickelodeon star chose a very cute Jay Godfrey tiered & ruffled dress with leopard print peep toes for the blue carpet event celebrating the charitable works of celebrities.

At the ceremony, Justice was asked who she thought was the most influential person in music right now and the Victorious actress singled out Demi Lovato.

“I would have to say Demi Lovato is doing a really great job of that,” Justice told The Hollywood Reporter.

“Especially her coming out with all the things that she has opened up to the world about.  I think she is making a huge difference to other girls that are dealing with similar issues.

“Putting a face to the issues I think is a really important thing.  I think her music is reaching a lot of people as well.”

Victoria also said she will be visiting Africa sometime in the next week for her charity Girl Up!

Inspired by her real-life crush in the 8th grade, Victoria Justice took pen to paper and turned her feelings into her hit song “Best Friend’s Brother” for her show Victorious.

Justice told Seventeen magazine that when she was 14 years-old hanging out with her BFF, she started to notice her friend’s brother and started to like him a bit more than before.

“When I was around 14 years old, in 8th grade, I had this crush on my best friend’s brother.” she told the magazine.

“He was two years older than me. It was one of those things where I would go over her house and we would all play Halo 2 together and go swimming in the pool and stuff.”

However much she liked him, the (now) 18 year-old star said her friendship mattered the most and she didn’t want to jeopardize anything coming between them.

“I think we both had little crushes on each other, but it never went anywhere,” Justice revealed. “If it had, it would have been really weird. I wouldn’t have been willing to risk my friendship for dating her brother. Friendship is always more important.”

Victoria also said it was a tie between “Best Friend’s Brother” and “Freak the Freak Out” for her favorite song off of the soundtrack for her Nickelodeon show.

The Victorious soundtrack is on sale August 2nd.

She’s hit 90,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel so Victoria Justice gave fans a little treat.

The Victorious actress celebrated by posting some brand new footage from the video of her hit song “Best Friend’s Brother.”

“Woohoo! I’m now over 90,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel. Thank you guys so much for subscribing :{). In honor of reaching this milestone, I decided to share this never been before seen footage from my “Best Friends Brother” music video. There are some bloopers, out takes, and more. I hope you guys enjoy!”

Justice is currently filming Fun Size with Chelsea Handler, Johnny Knoxville and Thomas McDonell. The movie is due in theaters in October of 2012.

Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice is the hot new cover girl of the upcoming April 2011 issue of Seventeen Magazine. The 18 year-old “Victorious” actress made some controversial statements on “trying things” – Victoria tried it and she did not like it!

Victoria confessed she tried smoking and drinking with her friends, before she realized those habits were just keeping her from having fun. Do not worry. Victoria seems to be a very responsible girl. Here’s what she had to say:

“I”m not going to lie to you: I’ve tried things. I’m not some robot who’s programmed to be perfect. I’ve been to high school parties. And even if I’ve had a drink, it’s always in a responsible way.

I did go through a phase when I wanted to try smoking, and for a minute I did. But shortly after, I just kind of realized it was gross, and I didn’t like anything about it. If I’m at a party, I’m going to dance, not huddle in some corner and smoke or sneak a drink.

I feel that smoking, drinking, and doing drugs are kind of selfish because you end up isolating yourself from everyone else. And I’ve had to make certain choices and be a lot more responsible with my life. I’ve been given a huge opportunity, and I don’t want to let my fans and family down.”

This simply proves Nickelodeon is a much safer place for young stars, when compared to Disney. The beautiful Victoria is wise beyond her years, but she like every other girl she also has insecurities.

Victoria said, “I wasn’t always confident; that’s something I’ve grown into and am still working on. I still have so many insecurities that I’m trying to grow out of. These days beauty is something that feels so enforced. All girls, including myself, have to learn to love themselves the way they are.”

Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice will have her own show titled “Victorious”, which tells the story of an aspiring singer, Tori, who attends a performing arts high school in Hollywood. The show produced by Dan Schneider premieres on Saturday, March 27th right after the 2010 Kids’ Choice Awards.

Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice confesses she is constantly confused with The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev, which is not such a bad thing since they are both beautiful, talented young ladies.

Victoria said, “I know what you’re going to say — I look like Nina Dobrev. I get that all the time. There’s a poster up here for Vampire Diaries and people come up to me and say, ‘Congrats on the poster, Victoria.’ I’m like, ‘What? That’s not me!’ I think you’re beautiful Nina, so it’s a compliment to me. It was funny because she actually came up to me at the Scream Awards and she said that people always tell her that she looks like me too. We bonded over that.”

WOW! Victoria and Nina could be sisters, if not twins! But what we really want to know is which one of these amazing new actresses is your favorite and who is hotter?

Victoria Justice or Nina Dobrev?
