Say it ain’t so!

After making the startling announcement that iCarly will be no more, Nickelodeon also released a statement that they are pulling the plug on their popular Tween hit, Victorious.

According to a spokesperson for Nick:

We are very proud of the show, its very talented cast, and our audience will continue to see many of them in upcoming new Nickelodeon projects.

The show’s creator Dan Schneider Tweeted his condolences to fans about the loss of their pals Tori, Cat, Jade and the rest of the Victorious gang.

I would love to have made more than 60 of Victorious, but that’s how it usually goes. I know that some of you are upset and angry – and while I feel terrible about that, I’m also flattered by it. But I ask that you please not be angry with Victoria, or Leon, Liz, Ariana, Avan or ANY of the Victorious cast members or staff. They all wanted Victorious to continue – so did I.

The final 15 episodes of Victorious will continue to air as scheduled, but after the season three finale, we will all have to say goodbye to the crew from Hollywood Arts High School for good.

Bummer city guys!

The 2011 Angel Awards for Project Angel Food were held on Saturday night in Hollywood with two Nickelodeon stars supporting the cause: Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande.

McCurdy, 19, wore a short sleeveless dress with red, white and black patterns and Grande, 18, wore a blue floral patterned, cap-sleeve dress from Tibi.

The iCarly and Victorious cuties posed together at the celebration which included celebs Jennifer Love Hewitt, Pauley Perrette and Jessica Lange.

McCurdy and Grande posed with NCIS star Perrette for a pic she posted to twitter saying they were “Sweet Beautiful Girls.”

“@PauleyP it was so wonderful meeting you! You’re so warm and funny. We have your show on at our house all the time!” Jennette tweeted.

Project Angel Food delivers meals to people suffering from HIV/AIDS, cancer and life threatening illnesses. The healthy meals are prepared and delivered in the Los Angeles area and the organization serves more than 13,000 meals a week.

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, warmed up the crowd with a fantastic live performance of the single “Beggin’ On Your Knees” (watch official music video here) on the orange carpet of the 2011 Kids’ Choice Awards held at the USC Galen Center in Los Angeles, California over the weekend (pictures here)– see video above.

Victoria is an incredible performer. No lip-synching. The girl is super talented. This upbeat single is part of the “Victorious” soundtrack and was featured in a very special episode of the show right after the awards show.

Whatcha think? Did Victoria rock it or what?
