Ever since becoming one of the biggest pop stars in recent history, Ariana Grande hasn’t spent much time showing off her acting abilities in front of the camera. Before taking over the music industry, Grande found Hollywood success while working on the set of Nickelodeon’s Victorious as Cat Valentine, featuring the iconic Victoria Justice.

While the 31-year-old pop star tried to navigate through her acting career, she also gave some attention to her musical aspirations behind the scenes. In 2013, she released a single called The Way, featuring Mac Miller, who tragically passed away in 2018, and it quickly drew a lot of attention to her work.

Eventually, Grande had to give time to music as it found far more success than her Hollywood career. But she certainly hasn’t forgotten her theatrical roots either. The pop star...

Diehard fans of Ariana Grande have many reasons to love her. Her music career is incredible, her acting career is impressive, and she even has a cosmetic line called r.e.m. Beauty. It’s been compared to Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez and Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner. Currently, Ariana is being judged for things beyond her professional successes. She’s being heavily criticized for her physical appearance. Here’s what Ariana just said in an attempt to clap back against trolls who’ve been bashing her.

Ariana Grande Is Sick Of Body Shamers

Ariana linked up with Charli Xcx for a collaboration on Charli’s new album. In the pop music world, it’s always a big deal when two iconic singers hit the studio to record catchy songs together. People have also been begging Ariana to collaborate with Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, and more. Now that she’s linked up with Charli,...

Ariana Grande takes a lie detector test and discusses plastic surgery. After speculations have been made on the alterations done to her face, fans finally get the truth.

Ariana Grande’s “Positions”

Ariana Grande is a famous singer, songwriter, and actress. Before beginning her successful music career, Grande was best known for her role as Cat in Victorious. She played the role again in a spin-off series, Sam and Cat. Joining her was one of the stars of ICarly, Jennette McCurdy.

Furthermore, Grande began releasing music early in her career and she took off to become one of the most famous pop singers in the world. Once she became a music star, she stepped away from acting for the most part. Despite this, she is starring in the Wicked movie as Glinda which releases in November of this year.

The singer married real estate broker, Dalton Gomez in 2021. Nevertheless, the...

Ever heard the saying, “The cat’s out of the bag”? Well, in Ariana Grande’s case, that feline is definitely still inside! Our favorite pop diva first captured hearts as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious and Sam & Cat. Since then, she’s been the talk of the town, the apple of every pop culture aficionado’s eye.

Now, who could forget that iconic transformation? She waved goodbye to her quirky red hair and prom dresses and hello to the signature brunette high ponytail that has become a style legend. Add in some thigh-high boots, eye-popping mini dresses, and cozy oversized sweatshirts, and voilà! A true fashion metamorphosis that would make any fairy godmother proud!

But here’s the million-dollar question: how does she do it? Recently, Grande sat down for a lie detector test with her Wicked co-star, Cynthia Erivo.

Ariana Grande thinks her speaking voice changed for the better in “Wicked.”

The Grammy winner told Vanity Fair that she thinks criticisms of how she adjusted her “physicality” to play Glinda in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical are sexist. Grande was mocked on social media after clip of her airier speaking voice on the “Podcrushed” podcast went viral; she posted on TikTok at the time, “I intentionally change my vocal placement (high/low) often depending on how much singing i’m doing. I’ve always done this Bye.”

“There is a part of the world that isn’t familiar with what it takes to transform your voice, whether it’s singing or taking on a different dialect for a role or doing a character voice for something,” Grande said. “When it’s a male actor that does it, it’s acclaimed.”

She continued, “There are definitely jokes that are made as well,...

Ariana Grande opened up about how her fans perceive her and their relationship with her.

The Wicked star said in a recent interview how fame has been a challenge to her mental health over the years.

“The back-and-forth throughout the course of my career has been really hard to navigate mentally,” Grande said in an interview with Vanity Fair. “I was this approachable, funny redhead on Nickelodeon and everyone liked me.”

Grande got her start starring in Nickelodeon shows like Victorious and Sam & Cat. She would find success topping music charts with a string of hits like “Problem,” “Break Free” and “Bang Bang.”

“And then I had one too many hit records, and everyone decided that I was an evil diva,” she continued. “And then other terrible things happened, and all of a sudden I was this hero and this victim.”

Grande received a lot of backlash when a...

Fans of the singer recently took to social media, where they discussed Grande’s time on the hit teen sitcom, where she portrayed her sassiest on-screen avatar.

Palmer starred in the lead role of the network’s “True Jackson, VP,” which ran for 56 episodes from 2008 to 2011. While the show was not created by Dan Schneider, who was accused of misconduct at Nickelodeon by several actors and writers in “Quiet on Set,” Sharon said she still felt a weird atmosphere from his sets.

“I honestly do remember you having a lot to say about the Dan Schneider sets,” Keke Palmer told her mother during the podcast. “I remember you feeling a way about Nickelodeon.”

“My honest opinion is I thought the whole atmosphere of the Dan Schneider set was very weird, very cultish,” Sharon responded. “The parents were very secretive, and I honestly thought...

Elizabeth Gillies is best known for her roles in the popular TV shows “Victorious” and “Dynasty.” Now, she’s making the jump to movies with her new film “Spread” which comes out this Friday on Tubi. Not only does Elizabeth star in it, but she also helped produce it—which was a first for her.

I had the chance to chat with Elizabeth about “Spread” and how this project was different than anything she’s done before. She told me she was totally burned out after wrapping up “Dynasty” so when she read the funny script for “Spread,” she was super interested right away. The story follows Ruby, an uptight journalist who ends up working at an adult magazine. Ruby goes through some big changes over the course of the movie—and so does her style of dressing!

Elizabeth connected with the director Ellie Kanner and loved how the script,...

For the better part of the last 15 years, Elizabeth Gillies has made a career out of playing sassy, snarky, strong-willed women on television. After rising to fame in her mid-teens as the mercurial Jade West on the hit Nickelodeon sitcom “Victorious,” Gillies made the transition to playing similarly rebellious adult characters, co-starring as Denis Leary’s daughter in his FX musical comedy “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll” and reimagining the role of Fallon Carrington in the CW’s modern-day reboot of “Dynasty.”

It was during the fifth and final season of “Dynasty” that Gillies was approached to star in and executive produce “Spread,” which premieres on July 19 on Tubi. Directed by Ellie Kanner and written by Buffy Charlet, the new film follows Ruby (Gillies), an aspiring (and very broke) journalist who is forced to swallow her pride and take a temp job at Spread, an outdated adult magazine.

Ariana Grande has become a big pop sensation and has had an interesting journey as both an actress and a singer. She was the beloved Cat in Victorious and Sam & Cat, with people loving her incredible comic timing.

Ariana Grande Shares Her Experience As A Nickelodeon Star(Photo Credit –Instagram)

With the release of Investigation Discovery’s docuseries, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, the plight of child actors on television show sets has become a topic of discussion. Singer Ariana Grande, who herself shot to fame as a child star on Nickelodeon, is now reflecting on her experience.

The singer-actress was a part of the Nickelodeon’s teen sitcom Victorious and its spin-off Sam & Cat between 2010 and 2014. Both the shows were created by Dan Schneider, who has been accused of mistreating children on set.

“I think ‘Stereophonic’ has taken off in a really once-in-a-lifetime way within the theatre community,” shares Sam Eckmann about the show he believes is the frontrunner for Best Play at the 2024 Tony Awards. He and I recently reconvened to discuss all 11 of the play categories ahead of the 77th annual ceremony on Sunday, June 16, and we didn’t need much time to debate the top category with David Adjmi’s “Stereophonic” so far out front to prevail. Watch our full Tony Awards predictions slugfest above.

We are feeling similarly confident about Branden Jacobs-Jenkins‘ “Appropriate” taking home the trophy for Best Play Revival. Sam points out that since this play has never been on Broadway before – it is considered a revival under the Tony Awards “classics” rule – the playwright will be on the ballot and eligible to win, which will help push the show over the finish line because “he’s a really admired writer.

Ariana Grande is commenting on the allegations made by former Nickelodeon stars in the ID docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.

The Wicked star appeared on a podcast and looked back at her time on the sets of Victorious and Sam & Cat, calling for therapists to be “mandatory” on kid show sets. Grande also said that it was “devastating” to learn about the experiences that some of her colleagues had.

“I think the environment needs to be made safer if kids are going to be acting, and I think there should be therapists,” Grande said on the latest episode of Podcrushed. “I think parents should allowed to be wherever they want to be, and I think not only on kids’ sets. If anyone wants to do this, or music, or anything at this level of exposure, there should be in the contract something about therapy...

Ariana Grande is reflecting on her time on Nickelodeon’s Victorious and Sam & Cat and admits that she is now “reprocessing” her experience amid Investigation Discovery’s Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV docuseries.

While appearing on the most recent episode of the Podcrushed podcast, co-hosted by Penn Badgley, who recently starred in her “The Boy Is Mine” music video, Grande recalled her time starring on Victorious and Sam & Cat, both of which were series created by Dan Schneider, who was a key subject in Quiet on Set.

“I was 14 and I flew out to audition with Liz Gillies for Victorious, and we were all very excited and we got cast and it was the best news we could hear,” Grande said. “We were young performers who just wanted to do this with our lives more than anything, and we got to and that was so beautiful.

Grande, who is leading the upcoming musical adaptation “Wicked,” said during the “Podcrushed” podcast that she believes therapists should be “mandatory” on kid show sets. Grande added that it’s been “devastating” to learn about fellow former child stars’ stories on Nickelodeon; the Grammy winner referred to those actors as “survivors.”

“I think the environment needs to be made safer if kids are going to be acting, and I think there should be therapists,” Grande said. “I think parents should allowed to be wherever they want to be, and I think not only on kids’ sets.

Ariana Grande said she is “reprocessing” her time as a Nickelodeon child star and said it’s been “devastating” to hear the stories of others who’ve come forward recently with stories of abuse and misconduct.

Grande touched on the subject in a new interview on the Podcrushed podcast (co-hosted by her recent “The Boy Is Mine” video co-star, Penn Badgley).

Before Ariana Grande became a pop megastar, she was best known for playing Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious and its spinoff Sam & Cat. Now, she is looking back on that time with a new perspective. Appearing on the latest episode of Penn Badgley‘s Podcrushed podcast, Grande opened up about auditioning for Victorious at 14 years old and how special that felt at the time. However, she is also “reprocessing” her time on the show in light of the recent Investigation Discovery documentary series Quiet on Set. “I was 14 and I flew out to audition with Liz Gillies for Victorious, and we were all very excited and we got cast and it was the best news we could hear,” Grande said (per Variety). “We were young performers who just wanted to do this with our lives more than anything, and we got to and that was so beautiful.

The television producer’s reputation has taken a dramatic dip ever since multiple former child actors for the network came out with concerning accusations. For the past year, the people he allegedly hurt have continued to speak up against him. The most recent addition seems to be Justice.

Victoria Justice Was Allegedly Also a Victim

Victoria Justice recently gave an interview with Marie Claire, where she talked about her former television producer, Dan Schneider. These comments come fresh after the documentary,...

Drake Bell, Josh Peck, Kenan Thompson and Victoria Justice are among numerous former Nickelodeon stars who have spoken out following the harrowing allegations revealed in Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.

Investigation Discovery’s five-part docuseries outlines allegations of abuse, sexism, racism and inappropriate behavior involving underage stars and crewmembers on Nickelodeon TV show sets run by Dan Schneider. Some of the programs mentioned included The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious and Sam & Cat.

In the series, former creatives and crewmembers detailed their experiences behind the camera, claiming they endured toxic workplaces. Amanda Bynes, who was a prominent young figure on Nickelodeon in the 1990s and early 2000s, starring in The Amanda Show and All That, was also frequently mentioned throughout, although she did not participate in the docuseries.

Below, The Hollywood Reporter has compiled comments made by former Nickelodeon actors following the release of Quiet on Set.

Victoria Justice, who headlined Nickelodeon’s popular series “Victorious” for four seasons and 57 episodes between 2010 and 2013, said in a new interview with Marie Claire that she feels like series creator Dan Schneider owes her an apology as she was “treated unfairly” at times on the show. Schneider also created the series “Zoey 101,” which Justice appeared on prior to “Victorious.”

Schnieder has come under fire this year in the wake of the Investigation Discovery series “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” which included many misconduct allegations against him from his tenure at Nickelodeon. Clips from “Victorious” were heavily featured in the documentary as Schnieder was accused of making his young actors do inappropriate things on camera. Justice starred in the show alongside Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies and more.

“Something that was very evident in the documentary is that Dan had a very large ego,” Justice told Marie Claire.

Victoria Justice shared her reaction to the Quiet on Set docuseries this week, saying the program shed light on former Nickelodeon exec Dan Schneider’s “very large ego.”

Justice starred in Nickelodeon shows Zoey 101 and Victorious from 2005 to 2013. Both series were produced by Schneider, who was accused of workplace misconduct and sexual harassment by many of Justice’s peers in Quiet on Set. Schneider released an apology following the documentary’s release and later sued the show’s producers for defamation.

Speaking to Marie Claire this week, the actress and singer said her experience with the children’s network was mostly positive but that the docuseries did accurately portray Schneider’s “very large ego,” which sometimes “clouded his better judgment and affected the way he treated people.”

“There were times I felt like I was being treated unfairly,” she added, noting Schneider’s behavior around her was never sexually inappropriate,...

In a new interview, Justice recalls her “complex” relationship with Schneider and feels she’s owed an apology.

“Something that was very evident in the documentary is that Dan had a very large ego,” Justice told Marie Claire. “And sometimes that ego clouded his better judgment and affected the way he treated people, and there were times I felt like I was being treated unfairly.”

Justice says that nothing sexual ever happened with Schneider she does recall some moments that “were in poor taste.” After watching the docuseries, Schneider said he owed people an apology, and to that, Justice said, “I would say I’m definitely one of the people on that list.”

David Adjmi’s Stereophonic was named Best Play of the year by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle today, with the Best Musical Award going to the Off Broadway production of Dead Outlaw from the team behind The Band’s Visit.

Stereophonic, currently on Broadway, has received 13 Tony Award nominations, and includes songs written by Will Butler from the indie rock band Arcade Fire. The play tells the story of a fractious 1970s Fleetwood Mac-like rock band recording what will be a massive Rumours-like hit record.

Dead Outlaw, with music and lyrics by David Yazbek and Erik Della Penna and a book by Itamar Moses, is inspired by the life of Elmer McCurdy. The musical, which premiered this year at the Minetta Lane Theatre, was originally conceived by Yazbek and tells the story of an outlaw from the early 20th Century whose corpse became a traveling sideshow exhibit for decades.

Fans of the classic Nickelodeon show Victorious were in for a treat recently. While the show ended eleven years ago, it continues to enjoy a loyal fan following online. Social Media, especially TikTok and YouTube, are rife with fan tributes and edits featuring the main cast of the series.

The members of the show also got in on the action recently when Victoria Justice and Daniella Monet were seen having a mini-reunion on TikTok that left netizens in a tizzy. While most fans were happy to see the former co-stars together again, there was also a sense of sadness. The reunion was a reminder of the fact that Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato do not have a similar relationship despite also being former co-stars.

Victoria Justice won’t forget her first day on the job.

The former Victorious star talked about shooting her first sex scene in the upcoming crime drama Depravity while visiting SiriusXM Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon. She was visiting the show to promote her new single, Raw.

“My first day on set though, I had my first ever sex scene, which was like, I’m like, ‘Really guys? We’re gonna schedule this for the first day? Cool. Thanks for that,’” Justice recalled.

Justice said the scene was not a pleasant experience. “It is uncomfortable,” she said. “I was really nervous. I was actually very, very nervous about it, and totally anxious about the entire situation and I was like, ‘Did I make the wrong choice? I don’t know if I should do this.’”

Justice said a talk with the director eased her worries.

Victoria Justice, best known for her starring role on Nickelodeon’s “Victorious,” recently said on SiriusXM’s “Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon” while promoting her new single “Raw” that her upcoming role in the movie “Depravity” required her to film her first sex scene.

Dan Schneider has filed a defamation lawsuit against the producers of the Investigation Discovery docuseries “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” which uncovered alleged abuse and misconduct at Nickelodeon and became Max’s biggest streaming title ever.

The lawsuit, obtained by Variety and filed by Schneider’s attorneys Jana Moser and Richard McKie, reads in part: “‘Quiet on Set’s’ portrayal of Schneider is a hit job. While it is indisputable that two bona fide child sexual abusers worked on Nickelodeon shows, it is likewise indisputable that Schneider had no knowledge of their abuse, was not complicit in the abuse, condemned the abuse once it was discovered and, critically, was not a child sexual abuser himself. But for the sake of clickbait, ratings, and views — or put differently, money — Defendants have destroyed Schneider’s reputation and legacy through the false statements and implications that Schneider is exactly that.

Daily Dead had the pleasure of catching up with Veena in a new video interview to discuss the unique multi-year journey of this new version of The Stranger, including the importance of co-owning the copyright to the project, restructuring The Stranger as a feature film, and working with Maika Monroe, Dane DeHaan, Avan Jogia, and their canine co-star Preston!

Remember Quibi? The short-lived, bite-sized entertainment experiment gave us some horror gems including a horror anthology series from Sam Raimi, most of which is currently unavailable to watch anywhere. But there’s good news for one of Quibi’s projects this week, as Veena Sud’s series “The Stranger” has found new life over on the Hulu streaming service.

Written and directed by Veena Sud (The Lie, Seven Seconds, The Killing), Quibi’s “The Stranger” has been recut into a feature film, and it’s now streaming only on Hulu.

Before she dropped her song “Karma” on Friday, JoJo Siwa spent several weeks letting the world know that she was done with bows and glittery-y pastels. In March, she posted a parental advisory message on her Instagram grid — teasing a new (and more explicit) era.

It became clear immediately that the 20-year-old was hoping for a rebrand built on shock value: Photos of the openly gay star embracing two girls at once, wearing Kiss-inspired face paint, and teasing lyrics about being a “bad girl” were rolled out in the weeks following the content warning.

Drake Bell reflected on the response to Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV during an Emmys event in Los Angeles yesterday, saying that he feels like he’s “in the fire right now.”

“Having to tell this sensitive of a story, something I held inside for so many years,” the actor said, according to Deadline. “I’m still reeling from the idea of bearing my soul to the world… Hollywood is a beautiful place, full of fantasy and imagination and fun. But it’s also a completely dark cesspool of disgusting waste.

With ID’s Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV becoming an overnight ratings hit for Investigation Discovery and Max, attention has now turned to a forthcoming fifth episode of the docuseries that promises to dig deeper into the toxic allegations swirling around Dan Schneider’s years at Nickelodeon.

On Thursday, Turner Networks, ID & Hln, linear and streaming president Jason Sarlanis told The Hollywood Reporter the original four-part series, which released March 17 and 18, far exceeded expectations and prompted the network to mobilize and greenlight the bonus episode to air only weeks later.

“We first started talking to [co-directors] Mary [Robertson] and Emma [Schwartz] about [extending the series] right after the trailer dropped,” Sarlanis recalled of the Feb. 8 first look, which featured clips of child stars coming forward with claims of abuse and sexism surrounding iconic kids TV shows of the late 1990s and early 2000s on Nickelodeon.

Marc Summers is speaking out about his experience being interviewed for ID’s “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” documentary. During an appearance on “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show,” the longtime host, said he was called and asked to be part of a doc about Nickelodeon. At the time he agreed, he didn’t know it was set to expose toxic behavior at the network.

“They asked me what I thought of Nick and the first 10 to 12 seconds, from what I understand, in this documentary, is me saying all these wonderful things. But they did a bait and switch on me,” Summers says in a sneak peek of the interview, set to go live on Friday. “They ambushed me. They never told me what this documentary was really about. And so they showed me a video of something that I couldn’t believe was on Nickelodeon.

When Drake Bell broke his silence about the sexual abuse meted out to him while he was shooting the iconic (and much loved) Nickelodeon show, Drake & Josh, the internet lost its semblance. No one could believe that even their favorite character had to go through abuse while working on a show meant for kids. People were left devastated, including screenwriter and television producer Dan Schneider, who couldn’t hold back his tears while discussing how something like this transpired under his watch.

Fans of the 2010s Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious are likely familiar with the long-standing rumor surrounding a supposed feud between costars Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande.

Justice played the main character, Tori Vega, in the Nickelodeon show, whereas Grande portrayed Cat Valentine, one of Tori’s quirky and lovable friends. No matter what wacky situation Cat gets into, Tori’s always there for her. Likewise, Cat’s enthusiasm and loyalty are a constant source of support for Tori.
