Victoria Justice revealed she received death threats after a viral meme with Ariana Grande.

The Victorious alum recalled the fallout from the viral video, which she said was misinterpreted, during a recent appearance on Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals. The video also featured her former co-stars Grande, Elizabeth Gillies and Daniella Monet.

“It was definitely a thing where it was like, ‘The internet hates Victoria Justice right now,'” the actress said. “There was a time for so long on the internet where I feel like people hated me. It was a thing. It can really be a ruthless place … Mob mentality is such a real thing.”

In the 2010 Popstar video interview, which resurfaced in 2017 and went viral, the Victorious stars are discussing their personalities. “One thing you don’t know about Ariana Grande is that she literally sings everything,” Gillies said at the time. “Like, she started to forget...

Elizabeth Gillies and Ariana Grande are supporting each other long after their days on Victorious.

Elizabeth, 31, is currently starring in the off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors alongside Milo Manheim, 24. In late April, Elizabeth took to Instagram to share snapshots of Ariana visiting the show backstage with her boyfriend Ethan Slater.

“Thank You For Coming To The Shop, My Dingus!!,” she captioned photos of her and Ariana holding up small plants.

“You are beyond brilliant!” Ariana replied.

A few weeks later, Milo gave insight about the connection between Elizabeth and Ariana.

“Ariana came to see the show. It makes such sense that they are friends. They’re both such kind souls, both such theater girlies. It was really nice to see Ariana there supporting Liz, and I could see them just being like little girls again enjoying being in the theater,” he told People.

Victoria Justice is addressing the backlash she received surrounding her viral “we all sing” meme.

If you didn’t know, back in 2010, Victoria gave an interview with Victorious costars Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies, and Daniella Monet.

“One thing you don’t know about Ariana Grande is that she literally sings everything. Like, she started to forget how to talk in her own voice because she sings everything. And it’s a good thing because she has a beautiful voice,” Elizabeth said in the original clip, before Daniella complimented Elizabeth‘s singing voice.

“I think we all sing,” Victoria then chimed in.

The video later circulated the internet in 2017, with many accusing Victoria as coming across as jealous of Ariana and Elizabeth.

However, the 32-year-old actress provided context behind the moment in a recent interview.

“First of all, it’s factual. We did all sing,...

Remember Winx Club — that iconic 2004 Nickelodeon animated series with fairy wings, friendship, and serious flair? If not, were you living under a rock? It followed a bada*s group of teen girls, the Winx, who weren’t just sparkly fashionistas — they transformed into powerful fairies, each with unique magical abilities. Sounds like your typical girl-power fantasy? Think again. Winx Club was pure enchantment with heart — diving deep into character arcs, flipping old-school gender roles on their head, and proving you can be strong, stylish, and totally in charge.

These girls weren’t damsels waiting to be rescued; they were magic-wielding queens calling out toxic masculinity and challenging double standards like pros. Fast-forward to the Netflix reboot — while it sprinkles in some Og lore, it leans way too hard on trendy (read: tired) tropes.

And let’s be real — that magic just doesn’t sparkle the same without the original Winx charm.

Filthy rich television characters have no satisfaction—they already have wads of fortune yet they still grapple and kill for more money. It’s a different story when the entire family is involved, as the fight to stay on top of their game and protect their wealth always prevails.

Whenever we talk about billionaires, Dynasty’s Fallon Carrington immediately comes to mind. She’s an heiress and businesswoman, and most importantly, a highly intelligent, competent, and charismatic figure in the show.

The CW’s Dynasty is a reboot of the 1981 soap opera drama of the same title. The Carringtons from the original show were already dirty rich with a net worth of $500 million (as per Collider), but this isn’t so impressive in today’s financial landscape. The new Carringtons, including Elizabeth Gillies’ Fallon,...

Elizabeth Gillies was overjoyed seeing familiar faces while celebrating her most recent production.

The 31-year-old actress and singer is currently playing Audrey in an off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors. March 5 marked opening night, and there to support her were former Victorious co-stars Avan Jogia, Daniella Monet, and Lane Napper.

In a new interview, Elizabeth opened up about getting to reunite with the group.

“Oh my god, it meant so much to me. I love them so much, it meant the world to me that they were there,” she told Paper.

She then gave details about how the costars spent their time together.

“We spent the whole next day walking through Central Park and getting coffee at different places because we couldn’t stop talking and hanging out and reminiscing. It’s always so exciting to hear about how everyone has grown and evolved and to hear about everyone’s success now,...

Elizabeth Gillies gets support from Avan Jogia and Daniella Monet at the opening night celebration of her run in Little Shop of Horrors at Westside Theatre on Wednesday (March 5) in New York City.

The 31-year-old actress and her former co-stars had a little Victorious reunion at the show, along with another co-star, Lane Napper, who was not part of the group photos.

Elizabeth kicked off her run as Audrey in the musical last week, alongside fellow newcomers Milo Manheim (Seymour) and Jeremy Kushnier (Dr. Orin Scrivello Dds).

Other stars in attendance included former Audrey actresses Sarah Hyland and Jinkx Monsoon, Debra Messing, Gracie Lawrence, Peppermint, Erika Henningson, Bonnie Milligan, Aaron Simon Gross, Kalen Allen, Graham Phillips and Raul Esparza, as well as Milo‘s mom Camryn Manheim, and his School Spirits co-stars Nick Pugliese, Miles Elliot and Jess Gabor.

As one of the biggest contemporary interdisciplinary artists in the world, it's hard to remember a time when Ariana Grande wasn't a household name. In 2024 alone, she released seventh studio album "Eternal Sunshine" to a red hot commercial reception and solid reviews from critics, before turning in an Academy Award-worthy performance in the blockbuster Universal Pictures musical adaptation "Wicked," which is nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Grande's rise in popularity over the past decade has indeed been something to behold, given that she was once one of countless child stars struggling to break into the mainstream entertainment industry. After making her Broadway debut in the musical "13," this lifelong theater kid would find success on the Nickelodeon network before breaking out into a solo recording career that would turn her into a global icon virtually overnight. As we await the release of "Wicked: For Good," we've taken...

If you love the wild drama of Succession, these 10 TV shows are right up your alley!

Just wrapping up its amazing run on HBO, Succession was one of the biggest hits of the network. It revolved around the Roys, a family of beyond-rich business tycoons seeking more power. That led to scores of backstabbing and dark comedy of this truly dysfunctional family trying to work together.

The show was a huge hit, with multiple Emmy Awards for its cast and Best Drama, among other accolades. It’s over now, but thankfully, there are plenty of shows like it for folks who enjoy tales set in the world of high finance and often involving bickering to the point of murdering families. So, if you like Succession, add these shows to your binge list for the same wicked vibes!

The Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious is getting a spinoff series featuring one original star. The news comes after the original show ended its run on Nickelodeon 12 years ago.

Originally, Victorious ran for four seasons between 2010 and 2013. Per Deadline, it now has a second spinoff in development with Daniella Monet set to reprise her role as Trina Vega. The project is in development under the working title Hollywood Arts, which could end up changing. Casting is now said to be underway to find co-stars for Monet, and as of now, no other cast members from Victorious are reported as being involved. It would seem that special appearances are not out of the question, but nothing is confirmed.

“Victorious” has another spinoff in the works, with Daniella Monet set to reprise her role as Trina Vega in a multi-cam Nickelodeon comedy with the working title “Hollywood Arts,” Variety has confirmed.

The series, which is in development and has not yet been greenlit, will follow Trina as she returns to her old stomping grounds to teach students at the fictional Los Angeles performing arts high school. It would mark the second spinoff of “Victorious,” following “Sam & Cat,” starring Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande.

Casting is underway for the spinoff, and it’s unclear whether any other “Victorious” stars — including Victoria Justice — will reprise their roles in “Hollywood Arts.”

Monet, who starred in all four seasons of “Victorious” as the older sister to Justice’s Tori Vega, will executive produce the spinoff alongside Jake Farrow (who was a writer-producer on “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat”) and Samantha Martin.

Exclusive: The Victorious universe is eying further expansion with a second spinoff series, Hollywood Arts (working title). Starring Daniella Monet, who will reprise her role as Trina Vega, the multi-camera comedy is in fast-track development at Nickelodeon, with early casting getting underway, sources tell Deadline.

Produced by Nickelodeon, Hollywood Arts follows Trina returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood’s most elite performing arts school.

Monet serves as an executive producer alongside writers/executive producers Jake Farrow — who was a writer-producer on both Victorious and offshoot Sam & Cat and also voiced Robbie’s puppet Rex Powers on Victorious — and Samantha Martin (Nick’s Henry Danger and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder).

Victorious creator Dan Schneider, who parted ways with Nickelodeon in 2018, has no involvement in the spinoff. His Nick tenure has been under scrutiny, including in the docuseries Quiet On Set whose producers he is suing for defamation.

As we approach the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, excitement is at an all-time high when it comes to the arrival of the X-Men. Audiences around the world have been waiting years for Marvel's Mightiest Mutants to debut in the MCU and now it's only a matter of time until they arrive.

The Multiverse Saga made those hopes and dreams a reality - or at least the start of that reality, for we have had nods and references to the X-Men throughout this chapter. And with relatively recent appearances from Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Kelsey Grammer's Beast and Patrick Stewart's Professor X, it's clear that the mutants' time is almost upon us. So much so, in fact, that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has termed the next chapter of the MCU as "The Mutants Era".

With an X-Men movie in development (officially!), there is...

Ariana Grande had an incredible 2024; not only did Billboard rank her as the ninth-greatest pop star of the 21st century, but she also earned critical acclaim for her role as Galinda in Wicked. While many might have dismissed her as just a pop star before, despite her years working as a child star, Grande is now one of the potential frontrunners in the race to the Academy Awards, as many are expecting her to land a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. With Wicked: For Good set for later in 2025, fans are wondering what Grande will do next, and several of them want to see her star in a live-action remake of Disney's Hercules.

While speaking with Variety's Awards Circuit Podcast (via CinemaBlend), Grande reacted to fans who want to see her play Megara – Meg, for short – in Disney's planned live-action Hercules remake. When asked if she would be interested in playing Meg,...

Ariana Grande has insisted her casting as Megara in Disney’s live-action movie version of ‘Hercules’ has “never been an actual discussion”.Fans of Disney’s 1997 animated flick had linked the ‘Wicked’ star, 31, to the Theban princess for the upcoming reboot, and while Grande is “flattered” fans think she has what it takes to play Megra, the actress believes her former ‘Victorious’ co-star Elizabeth Gillies would be better suited for the role.In an interview with Variety’s ‘Awards Circuit’ podcast, the pop star said: “It’s really funny, because I grew up singing the Muses’ parts. I have seen some of that, but it’s never been an actual discussion. “As much as I really love transforming for a role – and I do love the idea of, you know, a darker sort of role like Megara, I do think that I would be remiss if I didn’t say this,...

Ariana Grande is no stranger to shedding tears, but there’s one Adam Sandler movie that truly makes her weep.

The singer-actress, who sparked a social media frenzy for her emotional responses during the press tour for Wicked, revealed that Sandler’s 1998 comedy film The Waterboy is the movie that makes her shed tears.

“The Waterboy, with Adam Sandler, makes me cry,” Grande told W Magazine of the 1998 film in an interview published on Friday. “When they’re mean to Bobby Boucher, I cry. I don’t like it. I love Bobby Boucher. He says, ‘Would you please still be my friend?’ and I lose it. But I cry at everything.”

Played by Sandler, Bobby Boucher is a socially awkward 30-something who serves as the water boy for the University of Louisiana football program. After he is unexpectedly fired, Bobby joins a rival team where he finds success as a linebacker.

A number of early 21st century cable stars put the latest notch on their increas- ingly crowded on their résumés Dec. 9 when the 2025 Golden Globe nominations were announced. Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Zendaya all received nods for their work on some of the year’s biggest awards contenders. It was a full-circle moment for the Disney Channel vets (Gomez and Cyrus) and Nickelodeon alum (Grande), all three of whom became pop stars after their small-screen breakouts. And while we may not always think of her this way, Zendaya (Challengers) got her screen start on Disney Channel’s Shake It Up and has written and recorded music as well.

“Surreal,” said Grande, shortly after learning about the honor.

The performer, who rose to fame after starring as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious, received a best supporting actress nomination for her role as Glinda in Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of Wicked.

Hey, remember that time when everyone and their mom was obsessed with Victorious on Nickelodeon? Well, the show might be over, but people still can’t stop talking about Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande’s relationship behind the scenes. These two talented stars shared three years of their lives filming together, and boy, has their supposed “feud” been a hot topic ever since!

Ariana Grande was absolutely hilarious as the guest host on Saturday Night Live and her boyfriend Ethan Slater is reacting to one of her funniest sketches.

The “Castrati” sketch featured Ariana as a boy who was castrated to keep his voice high so he can impress the prince with his vocal talents. Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg made a special appearance as the parents.

Ari‘s best friend Elizabeth Gillies was backstage during the show and shared behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the night, including a clip of Antonio.

“Congratulations on another incredible SNL, my Dingus. And Little Antonio- I have no words,” Elizabeth said.

Ethan commented on the post with a reaction to the sketch.

In celebration of World Smile Day, actress, singer, and Smile Train ambassador, Elizabeth Gillies, joins Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft-focused organization, at the iconic Empire State Building in New York City to shine a light on a birth difference that impacts millions around the world – cleft lip and cleft palate.

Gillies and Smile Train’s President and CEO, Susannah Schaefer, offered remarks before flipping the ceremonial switch to illuminate the Empire State Building in Smile Train’s signature blue color.

“This year is our 25th anniversary. Since Smile Train began in 1999, we’ve partnered with local medical professionals in over 95 countries to provide more than 2 million safe, high-quality cleft surgeries for free. Of course, 2 million surgeries are much more than a statistic.

Elizabeth Gillies grew up right outside of New York City and has spent many years living in the Big Apple, but she just visited the landmark Empire State Building for the very first time.

The 31-year-old Dynasty actress celebrated Smile Train‘s World Smile Day with a visit to the skyscraper on Friday (October 4) in New York City.

Elizabeth joined Smile Train’s President and CEO Susannah Schaefer to raise awareness for the organization, which is the world’s largest cleft charity.

While Los Angeles suffers from a late summer heat wave, New York is also turning up the temperature thanks to the current star-packed parade happening at fashion shows across the city.

New York Fashion Week — happening now through Sept. 11 — is hosting shows from some of the industry’s top designers, and actors, artists, influencers, sports stars and even a First Lady (Dr. Jill Biden) have been on the scene to catch the debut of designs from the front row.

Below, The Hollywood Reporter takes a look at the stars sitting front row during New York Fashion Week.

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers reveal that after weeks of speculation and hinting via social media on Bryan Craig’s part, fans recently learned that the actor would be returning to the soap for one episode in August.

Now there’s more speculation on how exactly Morgan Corinthos will appear back on the show, whether that be through a dream, hallucination, or possibly a ghostly visit.

In the meantime, Bryan Craig recently provided fans with another project he is working on, over at Tubi.

General Hospital’s Bryan Craig Offers Preview Of “Spread”

Craig’s been working on a new movie, Spread, which is airing on Tubi. He posted a trailer on Instagram, which highlights a woman getting fired from her job (and getting cut off financially from her parents), where she then lands a temp job at an adult magazine, interesting called, ‘Spread’; the comedic irony is not lost on anyone with that title,...

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,...

Elizabeth Gillies has been a staple on TV for as long as I can remember. From being the style icon of my childhood in Victorious to her days as Fallon on the long-running reboot of Dynasty, shes been a familiar face on the small screen for audiences the world over, with her iconic fashion sense and signature deadpan that make her impossible to forget.

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.

"Spread's been around longer than you've been alive." Tubi has revealed an official trailer for Spread, a comedy that will be sent direct-to-streaming this summer. Not to be confused with the Ashton Kutcher indie comedy also called Spread from 2009 - these two films are entirely different. In this new Spread movie, an aspiring journalist who begrudgingly takes a job at an iconic adult magazine finds herself in an epic fight to save the company from bankruptcy. It's the world's largest adult magazine, and it might just change her life. Of course it will. This stars Elizabeth Gillies as Ruby, Harvey Keitel as Frank, Keith Walker, Diora Baird, David Allan Pearson, Teri Polo, Bryan Craig, Blake Harrison, and Diedrich Bader. This looks super cheesy and extra schmaltzy, definitely has the feel of a direct-to-tv release. Have a peek below. // Continue Reading ›...

Weve all - at one time or another - been stuck in a life slump. Unsure of which way to move, let alone which path is the one pointing forward, its hard to be certain that youre making the right decision when your brain is fogged over, and youre running out of steam. Elizabeth Gillies (Vacation) Ruby is exactly in that place when audiences meet her in Tubis upcoming comedy feature, Spread. With hopes of becoming a well-known journalist, everything in Rubys life is falling apart, which leads her to take the only job that will have her - a temporary position at an old-school adult magazine called Spread. In the Collider exclusive debut trailer, Ruby struggles with her decision but soon begins to realize that even if it didn't seem like it at first, this might just be the next step that she needed.

Matt Bennett's role as Robbie Shapiro in Victorious showcased unique talent and contributed to the diversity of Hollywood Arts students. Bennett continues to act post-Victorious and has appeared in various TV shows and music videos alongside co-star Ariana Grande. In addition to acting, Bennett has transitioned to DJing, highlighting his multi-talented and artistic abilities outside of his acting career.

Nickelodeon's Victorious co-starred Matt Bennett as Robbie Shapiro, one of the students at the elite performing arts school of the series and since his appearance on the show, Bennett has gone to a fascinating career. Victorious is a 2010s show from the tail-end of Nickelodeon's era of producing live-action sitcoms at a significant rate. As such, it maybe doesn't inspire quite the same love and reverence as earlier shows like iCarly, Drake & Josh, and Keenan and Kel. However, it was still a successful program, with a unique setting and talented actors.

Ariana Grande reflects on her time filming Victorious following the recent allegations made against Nickelodeon. First airing in 2010, Victorious stars Victoria Justice as Tori Vega, chronicling her time at a Hollywood performing arts school. The Nickelodeon show was created by Dan Schneider, who has, along with the network itself, since become a controversial figure following claims made in the Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV docuseries.

During a recent appearance on the Podcrushed podcast, Grande breaks her silence on the Nickelodeon allegations, though neither Grande nor the podcast hosts mention Schneider or the Quiet on Set documentary explicitly. The star reflects on her time filming Victorious and expresses how she'd like to see young actors supported in the future. Check out her comment below:

I was fourteen. I flew out to audition with Liz Gillies for Victorious and we were all very excited. We got cast and...

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.

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). While Grande’s comments certainly seemed to allude to the recent Investigation Discovery docuseries Quiet on Set, Grande did not mention the program by name, nor did she name...

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. I...

Ariana Grande is the guest on the most recent episode of the “Podcrushed” podcast — co-hosted by her “The Boy Is Mine” music video star Penn Badgley — and opens up about her relationship to child stardom. The Grammy winner was a young teenager when her fame exploded, thanks to a series regular role on the Nickelodeon show “Victorious,” which aired for four seasons between 2010 and 2013. Grande reprised her role of Cat Valentine on the spinoff “Sam & Cat,” which ran for 35 episodes.

“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 says on “Podcrushed.” “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. I think we had some very special memories,...

Penn Badgley goes from stalker to stalked in Ariana Grande’s music video, “the boy is mine.”

The You star and producer portrays the mayor of a city similar to New York, as it fights to end its growing rat problem by rounding up the local street cats and releasing them all at once to take down the rodents. Grande plays a city resident, obsessed with Badgley’s Max, creating a love potion to make him fall for her.

About halfway through the six-minute video, Grande is seen making and then wearing a Catwoman costume as she makes her way through the city to Max’s apartment. She uses her cat claws to carve a round hole in his window that she uses to enter his place.

When he’s startled to see her on his bed, he tries to run for it, but she grabs him by the leg...

Ariana Grande gives Penn Badgley a taste of his own You-style obsessive stalker medicine (crossed with a bit of Catwoman) in the new music video for her Eternal Sunshine track, “The Boy Is Mine.”

Directed by Christian Breslauer, the clip stars Badgley as Mayor Max Starling, an ambitious, young political hotshot who’s come up with a brilliantly stupid idea to solve the city’s rat problem — release a bunch of hungry stray cats to eat them. Grande plays a constituent so enamored with the mayor she cooks up her own love potion for him,...

In 1997, Disney released its animated film Hercules, which became a major hit globally. It earned an amazing $252.7 million on an $85 million budget, which was an exceptional amount of money back then, and it made history as one of Disney’s most beloved animated features. The original movie featured the voice talents of Tate Donovan (as Hercules), Danny DeVito (as Philoctetes), James Woods (as Hades), and Susan Egan (as Megara), some of who reprised their roles in the sequel animated series and the animated prequel. But, with Disney doing its series of live-action remakes of its animated classics, we know that Hercules is also being remade, and some recent rumors suggest that we have a chief candidate for the role of Megara!

These rumors come from Skyler Shuler, a well-known Disney insider, who has taken the time to answer some of the fans’ questions, one of which also had to do...

Disney has decided to give the live-action treatment to Hercules, one of their most popular animated films.

Now, Disney wants to recreate the same success, as it wants to retell the legendary tale by showcasing an authentic version of the legendary figure. Disney Executives want the casting to be perfect and it is believed by an industry insider that Dua Lipa would be a great fit for the role of Megara/Meg.

However, fans of the film believe another pop star would be a better choice for the role as they collectively share their opinion on social media.

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.

Victorious was a hit show that ended in 2013 despite a loyal fan base, sparking speculation about its cancellation. Cast members, including Ariana Grande, were rumored to have behind-the-scenes drama, but rumors were later clarified and debunked. Creator Dan Schneider, known for producing Nickelodeon hits, has a history of creating shows around talented performers.

In Nickelodeon's 2010 Victorious pilot, protagonist Tori Vega (Victoria Justice) isn’t looking to be a star, but behind the scenes, the Victorious cast was primed for stardom. When Tori's sister (Daniella Monet) can't perform due to allergies, Tori steps in to fill her sister's place since she's learned all the lines. As a result, she becomes the newest student at Hollywood's high school focused on the performing arts and meets a cast of eccentric classmates.

Victorious was a success that spawned merchandise including video games and CDs of the show’s music. Fans were disappointed when it ended in 2013 after four seasons.
