Nickelodeon UK has announced the Nickelodeon UK News that Nickelodeon UK is planning to premiere and show brand new episodes of the popular Nickelodeon comedy series "Victorious", including the brand new "Victorious" episodes "Andre's Horrible Girl" and "Blooptorious", and the brand new two-part "Victorious" special "Tori Goes Platinum", on Nickelodeon UK and Ireland and Nickelodeon HD UK between September 2012 and November 2012, as part of Nickelodeon UK's Autumn/Winter 2012 highlights!
Nickelodeon's "Victorious" (stylised as "VICTORiOUS") is an North American sitcom created by Dan Schneider for Nickelodeon. The series revolves around aspiring singer Tori Vega (portrayed by Victoria Justice), a teenager who attends a performing arts high school called Hollywood Arts High School, after taking her older sister Trina's (Daniella Monet) place in a showcase, while getting into screwball situations on a daily basis. On her first day at Hollywood Arts, she meets Andre Harris (Leon Thomas III), Robbie Shapiro (Matt Bennett), Rex Powers (Robbie's puppet), Jade West (Elizabeth Gillies), Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande), and Beck Oliver (Avan Jogia). The series premiered on Nickelodeon USA on March 27, 2010 after the 2010 Kids' Choice Awards.
In the brand new episode of "Victorious" called "Andre's Horrible Girl", Tori notices that Andre's new girlfriend Hope is bossy and worries that he is changing to please her. He tells her that he is only dating her because her dad is a famous record producer. Andre wants to break up with her because he knows it is wrong, but does not want to miss the chance to perform at her birthday in front of her dad. After her breakup with Beck, Jade decides to help Cat earn easy-money by dog-sitting her mother's boss's dog in Beverly Hills. Things, however, go awry when Jade accidentally damages the boss's guitar autographed by Elvis Presley which leads them to turn to Robbie and Beck for help. Guest Stars: Meagan Holder as Hope Quincy and Susan Chuang as Mrs. Lee; Song Featured: "Countdown".
The brand new "Victorious" episode titled "Blooptorious", Christopher Cane, the actor who plays Rex Powers, is the host for an in-depth look into the stars of the series and their hilarious outtakes (click here to watch two sneak peek online streaming video clips).
In the brand new two-part "Victorious" special "Tori Goes Platinum", Tori wins a contest to sing the opening number at the Platinum Music Awards! But, there's just one catch, the show's producer, Mason Thornesmith, and his team want to reinvent her look and personality. Tori has to dress crazy and act mean. Also, Tori is not allowed to tell anyone about this, not even her friends and family, even though her friends at school are shocked by it. It becomes a problem for Tori. Eventually, Beck finds out about Tori's secret by himself, because he knows that Tori wouldn't change so much on purpose. Beck and Tori almost kiss before being interrupted by Mrs. Vega. Although Tori initially agree, she soon finds that she doesn't like her new image. But then Tori ends up telling Mason and the producers that she can't take it anymore, which results in Mason not letting her appear in the Platinum Music Awards anymore. So they give Jade that chance instead, because they know her from her own audition, which they liked. After Cat accidentally leaves a video chat on, Jade sees Tori and Beck discussing that Tori shouldn't be kissing a friend's ex (with Beck and Jade breaking up, Beck trying to kiss Tori, and Tori and Jade finally becoming friends). Later, Tori goes to meet Jade at the Boomerang Theatre to talk to her about her chat with Beck. Jade then lets Tori perform herself, while Jade goes into the audience. Even though Tori was fired, she performs "Make It In America", which Mason sees. He was annoyed at first, as he had dismissed Tori, but then he eventually likes it. Song Featured: "Make It In America" by Victoria Justice.
To celebrate Nickelodeon and "VicTORIous" star Victoria Justice traveling to the UK, Nickelodeon UK will be holding a special exclusive "Victorious Fan Screening" event In London, where Nickelodeon UK will be giving competition winners the chance to attend an exclusive VIP event in London, UK, where they'll not only get to meet-up and watch a brand new special episode of "Victorious" called "Tori Goes Platinum" before anyone else in the UK, winners will also be invited to attend a very special question and answer session with Victoria Justice herself!

SLIMEFEST MAKES A GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS SPLASH IN A NIGHT FILLED WITH SLIME, MUSIC, AND A POIGNANT DISPLAY OF POSITIVITY FROM KIDS AND CELEBS
Stan Walker leads the crowd to "throw a square in the air" to take a stand against meanies; Commando Steve dropped into slime dunk tank as voted by kids
Saturday September 15, Sydney – In the tradition of the hugely popular Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, the inaugural SLIMEFEST made a huge splash on its audience today, breaking a Guinness World Record for "Most People Slimed Simultaneously" amongst crazy slime games led by celebrities and electrified music performances. The two 90-minute music concerts at 11.00am and 5.00pm took place at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney and broadcast around the country at 6.00pm on Nickelodeon.
A Guinness World Records Official witnessed and verified that 3026 Australian kids and tweens were slimed simultaneously from the two SLIMEFEST music concerts, via an epic slime-storm that rained down upon the 'sloshpit' from the giant "SLIMEFEST-ATRON" periscope.
The show opened with JUSTICE CREW bringing some "Boom Boom" into the room, hyping the crowd and setting the high-energy scene for what was to come. Show hosts LUKE & WYATT teased kids with a "SLIME SPINNER", used to determine the slime games of the night, before JESSICA MAUBOY had kids rocking along to "Inescapable" and her current hit from The Sapphires soundtrack, "Gotcha".
The first slime-tastic game of the night, Balloon Blitz, divided the crowd into two teams: The Orange All-Stars and the Wyatt Warriors. Kids worked together to move giant balloons filled with flutter, feathers and slime to celebrities CHARLOTTE DAWSON, JESSICA MAUBOY, BRIAN MCFADDEN and E-MAN from JUSTICE CREW, who burst them in spectacular fashion on spikes on stage. Another hilariously star-studded game called Shooting Stars featured RACHAEL FINCH, TIFFANY HALL, REECE MASTIN and JOHNNY RUFFO, with kid competition winners shooting slime from a cannon at the celebs down the "splatwalk"!
In true Nickelodeon style, SLIMEFEST included several show-stopping moments, but the most touching and uplifting moment of the night came from DARE TO BE SQUARE. Celebrities ROVE, DELTA GOODREM, LISA WILKINSON, KARL STEFANOVIC, RUBY ROSE and CODY SIMPSON introduced the new pro-social campaign for positivity, inspired by the ever-optimistic SpongeBob SquarePants. A newly-blonde STAN WALKER sang "Dynamite", with the lyrics re-versioned to lead the 5000-strong crowd to "throw their squares up in the air sometime". Square photos sent in by both kids and celebrities flashed up on the big screen while kids in the audience threw up their own square symbols, creating an amazing moment of solidarity against meanies - a touching display representing positivity and inclusiveness.
In the most highly-anticipated sliming of the night, it was revealed that kids had voted for COMMANDO STEVE to beat out fellow celeb nominees RICHARD WILKINS, CHARLOTTE DAWSON and BRIAN MCFADDEN for the honour of being ceremoniously dunked into a dunk tank, for Nickelodeon's first full-body slime submersion! Then it was time for the giant slip'n'slide, with special guests RACHAEL FINCH and TIFFANY HALL joining JOHNNY RUFFO, COMMANDO STEVE, REECE MASTIN and Nick competition winners competing to slime the winning half of the sloshpit.
The 5.00pm show featured a bonus surprise performance from GUY SEBASTIAN singing his feel-good hits, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and "Gold". Other music medleys that rocked the crowd included the massively popular REECE MASTIN with "Shut UP and Kiss Me", "Shout It Out" and "Goodnight"; JOHNNY RUFFO with "On Top of the World" and a cover of "Call Me Maybe"; STAN WALKER with "Light It Up", "Loud" "Music Won't Break Your Heart"; and CHRISTINA PARIE represented the spirit of the audience demographic with "16 and Unstoppable" in between her backstage hosting duties.
The evening ended with a splash-tacular grand finale slime fight with kids and stars sharing a joyous celebration of the green goodness to the tune of "Good Time" - capping off what looks to be the beginning of an exciting new SLIMEFEST tradition!
