“Getting ready for our 1ST TABLE READ of the new season of Victorious!!! Wish I could take you guys with me in my pocket. So excited!!! Xo ♥” tweeted Ariana Grande.

Victoria Justice also tweeted about her excitement and her trendy accessory: “1st @Victorious table read of Season 3! I’m wearing a new feather earring w/ a rattlesnake bone attached 2 it.”

Sounds like Season 3 is going to be hilarious! To hold us over until then, we can play the ‘Victorious” video game called “Time to Shine,” which will be released in stores on November 15.

The XBox 360 Kinect video game lets you be a Hollywood Arts student where you can direct, act, play music, dance, and sing.

Matt Bennett and Daniella Monet Work It Out!

No, Matt Bennett and Daniella Monet aren’t in a fight, they’re just both working on their fitness! The adorable duo both attended the Worldwide Day of Play were they went through obstacle courses and hung out with their Nickelodeon family.

“We’re here for the Worldwide Day of Play. Nickelodeon turns off their broadcasting for three hours and lets kids go out and play. You’re not a slave to the television anymore. It’s a really great cause and I think it’s a great idea.  We’re out here and I’m already feeling hot and sweaty which is a good sign I guess. Means I’ve been working out,” said Matt Bennett.

Daniella shared that she has always been a crazy active kid. Right now she is part of a dance team, does Martial Arts, and goes to boot camp classes everyday.

Matt on the other hand likes to use weights to maintain his fit physique. “I lift weights everyday… err… sorry, I lift weights every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If I lifted weights everyday I’d look like Leon over here. Leon’s got the muscles.”

Whatever you’ve been doing Matt, we approve! But for those who don’t have weights or don’t hit the gym on a regular basis, the Victorious cutie suggests pushups. “You can do them anywhere anytime,” he claims.

Check out this super cute video of Matt and Daniella as they talk about which of the two of them is more fit and what they do on set to have fun and stay active.

Victoria Justice’s Karaoke Playlist + Solo Album News

Victoria Justice was looking super fab at the 2011 MTV VMAs on Sunday where she dished about MTV, her up-coming movie ‘Fun Size‘ and the pop princess Miss Britney Spears.

Victoria revealed that MTV continues to be such an important part of her life because of its connection to her #1 passion: music. She thinks it is pretty epic since it has been around for such a long time.

Speaking of her #1 passion, we can’t wait to hear the songs on her solo album. “I’ve done about 20 songs that I am really proud of and I want to keep writing. I’m not sure when my album will be released but I’m working so hard on it for my fans,” shared Victoria.

She grew up watching Britney Spears on MTV and reveals that she still loves listening to old Britney classics. ”I love “Lucky,” and “Oops I Did It Again,” and “I’m A Slave for You.” I love “Me Against the Music” with Madonna, that song is so much fun to dance to, I always have these visions in my head of me tearing up the dance floor to that song with my friends.”

So is Britney her top pick when it comes to karaoke songs to sing? While she does love singing along to her songs, at a recent wrap party for her movie, ‘Fun Size,’ she went with some different choices.

Victoria busted out the vocals to “Hot and Cold” by Katy Perry with the help of her onscreen love interest Thomas McDonell, and then later sang “Bennie and the Jets” with another one of her talented actor friends, Josh Pence.

That sounds like it was a blast. But Justice promises more laughs to come when her movie ‘Fun Size’ hits theaters October 12th, 2012. “The cast is so much fun! Chelsea Handler plays my mom and she was so great to work with,” revealed the Victorious star.

Sounds like it’s been a pretty busy year for the young starlet and we know all that hard work is going to pay off.

Both those songs are amazing and we can’t stop listening to them!

The two also took some time to talk about their favorite moments from the last season. “I think that my favorite part of season two is we do this episode where we’re in handy one-sies pajamas (footie pajamas) and they were just really funny looking,” explained Ariana.

Ariana also revealed her excitement for the third season of “Victorious.” ”I’m so excited for season three. I think that season three is gonna be the best season.” Matt chimed in saying, “We don’t break the fourth wall yet. But I feel like there’s room to do it. I think we’re gonna get really post-modern. Really strange.”

Sounds like the next season is going to be hilarious!

Victoria Justice Goes From TV Star to Movie Star

Filming for the hit Nickelodeon show Victorious took a break for the summer, but that does not mean that the show’s star, Victoria Justice, took a break from her career!

Victoria has been filming for her new movie, Fun Size, all summer, and from what we have heard, it’s going to be amazing! The movie is about a sassy teen girl, played by Victoria, who is forced to take her oddball little brother out Trick-or-Treating. The craziness starts when her brother gets lost and Victoria frantically searches the entire neighborhood.

Victoria has also continued her singing career this summer recording a track for the soundtrack of the much-anticipated remake of Footloose, starring Julianne Hough.

Keep up the great work, Victoria! We can’t wait to see all of your hard work payoff when both movies are released in October.

Victoria Justice Gives The Deets on Her Solo Music Career!

Victoria Justice is ready to focus more on her music.

The Victorious star revealed to MTV, that after she finishes filming her movie Fun Size, she will be going back to L.A. where she is from to begin working on her music career.

“I’m going to be working on music for a little while, I think, until I start season three of Victorious. So even while I’m out here I’m just brainstorming ideas for new songs and finding inspiration, and then when I get home, go into the studio a lot,” said the 18 year old actress and songstress.

She also explained how her solo music will be different than the songs she has been singing on her hit show. “I think my solo music will be different from what people have heard on the show. I love the music from the show– I think it’s so much fun. But when I do my own stuff it’ll probably be a little more mature, and [I'm] finding my own path.”

Sounds like we are going to hear a different side of Victoria! We can’t wait to get our hands on her solo album!
