New layout!

Hey everyone!

Jennette here! Well, obviously you knew that since this is my website. lol!

I just wanted to write a quick blog entry to see how you all like the new layout. I LOVE it! It’s very snazzy, right? Also, I wanted to thank everyone who’s posted a comment! This will be the only place that I read comments from, and I assure you that I read every single one! Oh, and I do occasionally check my Kewl blog for posts there, as well…but my official website (here!) is definitely the best place to post. :0)

Well, I guess that it’s for now. I know it was a pretty quick blog post but I just wanted to thank you all, so thanks! I’ll fill you in on my crazily busy schedule later!

   Bye!

Spiderwick Premier and LA readings

Hey everybody!

Life’s been pretty busy lately. On January 31st, I went to a junior high school and spoke to 3 different classes. It was “Career Day”, so I talked about what it’s like to be an actress and how much hard work it takes to be in this industry and stuff like that. The kids were all really nice and fun to talk to! Later that night, I went to the premiere of the Paramount/Nickelodeon movie “The Spiderwick Chronicles”. It was really cool and the whole night was quite fun. I got to see my friends Victoria Justice, Paul Butcher, Rhyon Brown, Sammi Hanratty, and Jansen Panettiere, as well as meeting lots of other cool people for the first time!

Then, on February 2nd, I went to a bowling place and bowled with a bunch of awesome kids from the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation. Those kids were all so great…they were so happy, smart, creative, and just plain fun to be around. That was a really cool day.

Last Sunday (the 10th), I attended the launch of the Spiderwick Chronicles video game for Wii at Paramount Studios. The game was really cool…it was very true to the movie, so if you like the movie you will definitely love the game! That event was great because, after playing the game, you could go outside to a little carnival filled with games and snacks. A man was there drawing those cartoony caricature things, so I got one drawn of myself. It was quite cool and funny! The video game launch was terrific because it doubled as a charity event, so I got to see lots of the kids that I saw at the Starlight Starbright bowling day. It was really sunny outside as well, so it was a perfect day for a carnival!

Yesterday, I went to a school up in LA and read a few chapters of “The Spiderwick Chronicles: The Field Guide” to a bunch of 2nd graders. The students were so polite and cooperative…they didn’t make a sound the entire time I was reading! Afterwards, I took some pictures and the ladies in charge of the event invited me to come back in a few months and read some Dr. Seuss stories to the kids….how cool is that?!

Before I sign off, I’m on the cover (with Nathan and Miranda) of Nickelodeon magazine! I’m also in the current issue of Discovery Girls magazine and Teen Hairstyles magazine, so check out those if you’d like!!

Well, it’s been a busy few weeks and it’s going to be an equally busy few more weeks, so keep checking back for my next journal entry.

Thanks for reading!

Sick

Hey everyone!

How have you all been? I’ve been doing pretty well (until now, that is)! I have a high fever and a really bad cough. :0( I went to Boo Boo’s birthday party yesterday. The party was thrown by KEWL magazine. Let me tell you, everyone who works on KEWL is so nice! KEWL magazine not only focuses on the basic stuff you get in every teen magazine, it also incorporates important messages and themes, like ideas for charity work and tips on being healthier. Anyone who hasn’t seen KEWL magazine yet definitely needs to check it out!

So anyways, I went to Boo Boo’s party yesterday and he was very nice. I’d actually never met him before yesterday! I had lots of fun at the party. I basically did KEWL mag interviews and shout-outs the whole time! The great folks who work at KEWL also taught me how to work a Nerf gun… not necessarily a great idea for someone with a high fever! But, despite constantly holding back coughing fits, I had a great time!

Project Runway…I previously listed my favorite contestants as Kit, Kevin, Steven, Victorya, and Christian. If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll know that only one of my original favorite contestants is left… Christian! After seeing more of the show and getting a feel for each of the designers, I could see why Steven left early on in the competition. I liked Kevin’s style but I think he was too similar to Jeffrey (winner of Season 3). I loved Kit and Victorya, so I was really disappointed when they left in consecutive weeks. But Christian is still left! So he’d better make it to Bryant Park!!! I like Rami and Jillian, too. So I’m hoping those 3 will be the finalists!

What else? Oh! I watched the U.S. Figure Skating Nationals today. I was so glad Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto won the title for Ice Dancing….for the 5th year in a row, I believe! And I was very happy with the Ladies’ results. Mirai Nagasu, Rachael Flatt, and Ashley Wagner placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! All of their programs were simply stunning and they skated their hearts out. I felt bad for Kimmie Meissner, though!! But she is such a great skater and she seems like a nice person so I’m sure she’ll do better in competitions to come.

The past week has been an exciting week for me, skating-wise. I’ve met Sasha Cohen (2006 Olympic silver medalist and 2006 National Champion), Jeffrey Buttle (2008 Canadian National silver medalist), and Evan Lysacek (2007 National Champion)!!! How cool is that?!?!

Well, that’s it for now. I’ll try to write again soon….

Photo-shoots

Hey everybody,

I know it’s been a few weeks since my last journal entry, and it had been months since the entry before that. These occasional entries are very infrequent and inconsistent, right?? Well, to keep the site really up-to-date and filled with the most current information, I’ve decided to write in my online journal more often. Please give me a break if it’s a few weeks or so, but I promise there will be no four-month breaks between entries! Anway, on with more stuff…

As many of you already know, I’m a Project Runway FREAK!! Oh, I love it, love it, love it!! Of course, I watched the premiere… what’d you all think? At first, I didn’t think I’d get as into it as I did with prior seasons (just judging by the contestants and what-not) but I soon found that the phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” really applied here… I’m loving it! I haven’t picked out my favorite contestants yet, but a few that I think are really unique and fun to watch are Kit, Kevin, Steven, Victorya, and Christian. The mix of all the contestants is fantastic and really humorous at times! I’m looking forward to watching the episode tomorrow night (actually, it will probably be “tonight” by the time this entry gets posted). :0)

So, I’ve been busy with lots of photo-shoots and stuff lately! I just did a photo-shoot for Popstar! magazine the day before yesterday…that was very fun! Everyone at the shoot was so kind and generous. It was a great learning experience since I’m not too used to photo-shoots yet. I’ll be doing a few Tiger Beat and Bop photo-shoots coming up in a few days here…those should be cool! I also did an interview and shot a cover photo for Teen Christian magazine, a magazine basically for any teen who wants to read positive, motivating material! I’m pretty sure it was for their winter issue, as I was wearing a hat, scarf, and gloves in the photos…now that’s not gonna be hitting the summer newstands!

I hope you’ve all been watching (and enjoying!) iCarly. We’ve had some pretty cool episodes lately….there was iRue the Day, which featured the AWESOME band Plain White T’s, iWill Date Freddie, in which Freddie’s girlfriend tries to sabotage iCarly and make her own webshow by recruiting Sam and Freddie to work with her, and iWant a World Record, where Sam decides she wants a world record so Carly, Sam, and Freddie try to make the longest continuous webcast ever! I won’t say any spoilers in case you didn’t catch those episodes, but I WILL spill that there are some TERRIFIC episodes coming up! There are some super fun ones involving cute little chicks, golf courses, footballs, fencing, sculptures, random dancing, and giant cups of coffee! Watch out for those episodes cuz I bet you’ll love them!

Are you all getting excited for the holidays? I know I am!!! I’ve been watching all sorts of Christmas specials, making gingerbread houses, baking TONS of yummy sweets, going present shopping, listening to Christmas music (thanks to good ole 103.5), and ice skating a lot. For those of you who celebrate Hanukkah, Happy Hanukkah! I wish you all the best! For those of you who celebrate Christmas, I hope you’re enjoying the season and taking it all in! For those of you who celebrate any other holiday I may have forgotten, Happy Holidays!!!

Also, for those of you who are interested, Original Girl magazine (the magazine that I’ve been making for quite some time now) will be made available within the next week or so (hopefully!!). Now that I’ve started using Adobe InDesign, I think and hope that I’ve taken my magazine to a new level. It’s a 32-page, monthly, now completely colorful magazine for girls of any age! My oldest brother kindly offered to help me convert the InDesign file to some sort of Adobe e-book file or something… that should be interesting to learn about! Anyways, you’ll be able to purchase it through a link on my website, so please keep an eye out for that!

Let’s see… what else is there? I’ve practically written a novel with this entry (LOL!). Oh, well I went to go see Enchanted a few days ago. I thought it was fantastic! I found it to be a really heartwarming, splendid family film perfectly fitting for this time of the year! You should go see it if you like happy-go-lucky movies! I also caught a re-run of the Cup of Russia a few days ago. For those of you who aren’t that savvy in the figure skating area, the Cup of Russia is this really huge figure skating event! Johnny Weir won and I was so happy for him! I think he totally deserved the gold. He works so hard and seems so focused and motivated…just the kind of person I look up to! Go Johnny! Congrats on the gold and keep up the good work!

Well, it’s getting pretty late and I’m dozing off here in my chair, staring at the computer screen. I’d better get to bed! I’ll probably watch a re-run of America’s Next Top Model or flip through Everyday Food or something as I’m sitting in my bed before I officially go to sleep, but that’s beside the point. I’ve started rambling, which means it’s time to go!

Happy Holidays everyone! And I’ll try to post at least once more before Christmas!

Bye!

Interviews

Hey everyone!

Things have been really hectic lately…I’ve been doing lots of publicity stuff, ADR work, schoolwork, skating, and hockey! So let’s start with the publicity stuff……

I did some interviews with a few teen magazines. It’s always fun to do interviews with different people to see the varying questions and things I’m asked. My favorite interview so far has been for KEWL magazine. It was so awesome!!! I went in to the KEWL magazine offices, did a photo-shoot, then did an on-camera interview. It was really great because, after my interview was over, the editor of the magazine told me that she is a competitive roller skater. I never knew that figure skaters and roller skaters had so much in common! They do all the same jumps, which is pretty cool! I got to watch a video of Denise (editor) performing a routine with her synchronized skating team. They were great! After I watched her performance, Denise showed me the program that she uses to make her magazine. It’s called Adobe InDesign. Well, the program looked so cool (and it was definitely an upgrade from the program I’ve been using), so I decided I’d try to make my magazine (called Original Girl) using InDesign. I viewed some online tutorials until I got the hang of the program, and my first issue made with InDesign is the December 2007 issue! I’m trying to figure out a way to make it available online because I’ve been getting some requests for it!!!

If you want to check out girlslife.com you can see a cool interview I did with Girls Life magazine that you can find here http://girlslife.com/g-blog/?p=3490. And, just in case you want to read a few more blog entries, I have a blog at http://jennettemccurdy.kewlblogs.com. You can post comments relating to the blog, so it’s pretty nice! Also, there’s an interview I did with The Star Scoop available here

Despite all of this publicity stuff, I’ve still had time to get ready for the holidays! Woohoo! I’m so excited they’re coming! I’ve already created a countdown calendar for the 50 days leading up to Christmas. I’ve also been to a few malls, trying to get an idea of what to buy for friends and family. I absolutely LOVE the holidays…they’re my favorite time of the year!!!

Well, I better get going. I’ve got a few hours of school and skating ahead of me!

Thanks for reading,

iCarly

Hi everybody!

I went to the Television Critics Association on July 13th. It was hectic and a totally new experience but lots of fun!

I just finished filming the 16th episode of iCarly. 16, wow!!! It seems like I was working on the pilot yesterday. But I’ve still got a loooong way to go. :-)

Tomorrow, I’ll be going in and shooting an episode of Teenick that will air on the night of the iCarly premiere. I did a Teenick episode for The Last Day of Summer about a month ago, and it aired the night before The Last Day of Summer premiered. That was lots of fun, because I got to see Jansen, Jon, Eli, and Denyse again, and I hadn’t seen them for nearly a year. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to doing Teenick tomorrow. I’ll write more about it in a few weeks or so.

I’ve been trying to squeeze in as much skating as possible with my busy schedule. It’s such a great feeling when you’re out on the ice…it’s so peaceful and calm. All of my ice skating friends are thrilled for iCarly to come out. I just want to say thanks to Ally, Emily, Erin, and everyone else at the rink for being so supportive. Thanks!

Okay, in case you didn’t know, I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan. And I mean HUGE. I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows right away and I thought it was fabulous. I’ve seen Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix twice already and it was awesome! My favorite characters are Fred and George Weasley, but I also love Ron, Hermione, Snape, and Luna!

Well, I’m gonna go eat lunch because I’m getting hungry!

Fun facts about me

I picked another couple of questions. Here they are with my answers!

Question: Is it true that you and Holliston Coleman are going to star in a movie together, where you play the villain? If so, can you tell me more about it? When will it be coming out? Will it come to theatres or straight to DVD? I’m dying to know!

Answer: Yes, it is true that my great friend Holli and I are going to star in a movie together, and yes, I am going to play the villain! The start date for shooting hasn’t been determined yet, although I know that the producers are trying to start the filming fairly soon. I assume that it would come out in 2008. Thanks for your question/s!

Question: Who is your favorite figure skater?

Answer: Definitely Sasha Cohen! Here grace is extraordinary, and her spirals are stunning! I think she represents all that a figure skater should be. But as for a male skater, my favorite is Evgeni Plushenko. His jumps are all so high and powerful and his footwork is the best I’ve ever seen.
