Billboard Interviews Nickelodeon Star Ariana Grande About Her New Song "The Way"

The official website of the music and music industry news magazine Billboard has unveiled a exclusive interview they recently held with Nickelodeon actress and singer Ariana Grande, who played Cat Valentine on the popular Nickelodeon original comedy series "Victorious", and who is set to reprise her character for the new Nick comedy show "Sam & Cat", with Nickelodeon Star Jennette McCurdy ("iCarly"'s Sam Puckett), which is scheduled to premiere on Nickelodeon USA during Fall 2013, in which the Nick Star talks about her new single, "The Way" (Featuring Mac Miller), which, upon becoming available on iTunes and all digital retailers the same day, skyrocketed to the coveted #1 spot on iTunes Overall Chart in less than 8-hours, besting the likes of P!nk (Pink), Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Rihanna. Ariana Grande currently has the fastest growing single from a new artist in 2013. The article also features the music video to Ariana Grande's "The Way", which you can also watch below:
Ariana Grande Talks Breakout Hit 'The Way': Watch New Music Video

"If you want to motivate Mac Miller to do anything, just bake cookies," the Nickelodeon star tells Billboard about her new collaboration.

Ariana Grande, the 19-year-old co-star of the Nickelodeon sitcom "Victorious," has a new hit single to match her upcoming TV series "Sam & Cat." "The Way," featuring Pittsburgh MC Mac Miller, received an official music video on Thursday (Mar. 28) after hitting iTunes on Tuesday through Republic Records, and the bubbly, unassuming collaboration reveals the captivating pop talent that Grande is very quickly becoming.



Grande tells Billboard that the new single came together when she met with U.K. producer Harmony Samuels (Chris Brown, Ne-Yo) earlier this year and was presented with the slinky R&B beat, which samples Big Pun's 1998 classic "Still Not a Player." "He played me 'The Way,' and I said, 'Oh, that's it. We have to do that one -- that's what we have to go with,'" says Grande. "I cut my vocal on it, and then Mac and I had been hanging out for a while at that point, and I was like, 'I really want you to feature on this record. What do you think?' And he said, 'Sounds like a hit to me!'"

Grande served as a studio engineer as Miller, the indie MC whose 2011 debut "Blue Slide Park" hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, recorded his vocals for "The Way," and the rapper even taught the pop starlet how to manage Pro Tools while they shared studio time. "When he was recording his part, I was baking cookies in the kitchen upstairs, and every time I took a break I came into the studio to bring him a new batch of cookies and something else amazing had been written," Grande recalls. "If you want to motivate Mac Miller to do anything, just bake cookies."

Grande is also proud of the fact that the concept for the song's music video was largely orchestrated by its two artists. Directed by Jones Crow, the clip finds Grande and Miller romping through a sea of white balloons and playfully flirting while video of the pair is projected on the white wall behind them. The Nickelodeon star admits that the single and its accompanying video showcase a more mature version of herself, but bristles at the suggestion that "The Way" is a declaration of newfound adulthood.

"I'm just trying to grow up and live my life and entertain people as well," says Grande. "I don't think there needs to be any big landmark of 'Ariana grew up' -- although I do kiss Mac Miller in my video, so that's quite a statement!"

'Sam & Cat's' Jennette McCurdy & Ariana Grande Gain on Social 50 Chart

After Grande released the single "Put Your Hearts Up" in 2011 (120,000 downloads sold to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan), "The Way" will likely lead the singer's Republic debut, due out later this year. Grande says that she's still considering songs for her first LP, as well as potential collaborators for the project. "Big Sean is a good friend of mine, and he's of my favorite rappers," she says. "I've been talking to him and he's like, 'We have to do something together,' and I'm like, 'Yes, we do!'"

Meanwhile, the "Victorious" star -- for the non-Nickeloden-savvy, Grande plays Cat Valentine, one of the friends of Victoria Justice's character Tori Vega -- is filming the Nick show "Sam & Cat," in which she'll reprise her role as Valentine alongside Jennette McCurdy, who will bring her "iCarly" character Sam Puckett over to the spin-off. Grande believes that "Sam & Cat," set to premiere on Nickelodeon later this year, will cater to an even younger audience than "Victorious," but that the potential disconnect between that demographic and her teen music fans is hardly cause for concern.

"When I do 'Sam & Cat,' and when I act as Cat, of course I'm still going to be there for my younger fans," says Grande. "But I'm also growing up -- I'm almost 20. I'm not going to do anything crazy, but I want to do music that I'm passionate about. I'm finally at an age where I can do the music that I grew up loving, which was urban pop, 90s music. I grew up listening to the divas, so I'm very happy to finally do urban pop. I hope that it's received well, and it has been so far."
Also, from Heat World, the official website of Heat, a British entertainment news magazine:
VIDEO: Watch Ariana Grande's single The Way Feat. Mac Miller!

Ariana Grande is rumoured to be the next big thing!

The 19-year-old American singer/actress's new single The Way went to Number One in America on iTunes within eight hours and simultaneously hit number 13 in the UK.

She has amassed 5 million Twitter followers, 3 million Facebook likes, 3 million Instagram followers, and over 150 million views on YouTube.

Did we also mention Ariana will soon be seen in Nickelodeon’s iCarly/Victorious spinoff show, Sam & Cat.

BlackBerry 10 Adds Nickelodeon Programming In Content Deal With Viacom

The Internet technology, business and culture news website The Next Web is reporting the Nickelodeon News that BlackBerry has partnered with Viacom, Inc. to bolster the telecommunication and wireless equipment company's content offering on the BlackBerry World storefront. BlackBerry's content deal with Viacom Media Networks adds programming from channels and networks such as Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon to BlackBerry's existing video catalog available on the BlackBerry World app world store, including Nickelodeon Original Animated Series (Nicktoon) "SpongeBob SquarePants". The additional content from Viacom is exclusive to BlackBerry 10 users in the USA, however, and there is currently no word yet on a wider international release:
BlackBerry 10 users in the US can now watch TV shows from PBS, Univision and Viacom

Following its recent collaboration with digital music distribution service Zimbalam, BlackBerry has bolstered its content offering on the BlackBerry World storefront today by partnering with a trio of new TV networks and production companies.

Shows by PBS, Univision and Viacom have been added to the store, bringing popular shows such as Downton Abbey and programming from channels such as Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon to BlackBerry's existing video catalog.

The additional content is exclusive to BlackBerry 10 users in the US, however, and there’s no word yet on a wider international release.

The trio join the following broadcasters, which were announced prior to the launch of BlackBerry 10 in January; ABC Studios, BBC Worldwide, CBC/Radio-Canada, CBS, DHX Media, ITV, National Geographic, NBCUniversal (UK), Nelvana, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (US), Starz Digital Media, Twentieth Century Fox Television, Univision Communications Inc, and Warner Bros.

Likewise, BlackBerry World has garnered support from almost all of the big-name film studios and indies; 20th Century Fox, Entertainment One, Lionsgate, MGM, National Film Board of Canada, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Starz Digital Media, STUDIOCANAL, The Walt Disney Studios, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros.

“Our audiences are increasingly turning to their smartphones to drop in on South Park, Jersey Shore, or SpongeBob SquarePants in Bikini Bottom anytime, anywhere they’d like,” said Tom Gorke, Senior Vice President of Content Distribution for Viacom Media Networks. “BlackBerry 10 is a great and growing platform for audiences to catch up with their favorite shows on the go, and for Viacom to extend the expansive reach of its beloved brands.”

The move is a significant one for BlackBerry, which is quickly trying to build up its content offering to compete with iTunes on iOS and Google Play on Android. Doing so will help to differentiate itself from the other mobile operating systems competing for third position, such as Microsoft’s Windows Phone and Mozilla’s upcoming Firefox OS.

It’s early days just yet, but the problem for BlackBerry will likely be persuading its users to buy this content on a regular basis, rather than getting household names to offer it in the first place.

Appy Food And Drinks Co. Selects London, UK-Based Clooci Studios To Design The Packaging For Appy's Nickelodeon Juice Drink Line

The design industry news website Design Week is reporting the Nickelodeon UK news that Appy Food & Drinks Co. hired the London, UK-based design company Clooci Studios to design the packaging for the beverage company's upcoming new Nickelodeon Juice Drink line, which is planned to be launched at retail and be sold in shops around the UK from June 2013:
Clooci Studio has designed the packaging for the Appy Co. Juice Pouches range of children’s drinks, featuring Nickelodeon television channel characters on packs. The brand says this is the first UK range of kids’ juice drinks to use natural sweetener Stevia instead of sugar, and initially the range will feature SpongeBob SquarePants on the Orange & Pineapple variant, Dora the Explorer on Tropical Vitamin Boost and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the Apple & Blackcurrant product.
Appy Food and Drinks's upcoming Nickelodeon Juice Drink Pouches range will be the first UK range of kids' juice drinks to use Stevia instead of sugar, and the first UK Juice range to use Nickelodeon characters on the packaging. Initially, three flavours will be available to purchase: "SpongeBob SquarePants" (Orange & Pineapple), "Dora the Explorer" (Tropical Vitamin Boost) and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (Apple & Blackcurrant). Further flavours are planned to be revealed later in the year. Low in fat, saturated fat, salt and sugar, the range is a healthier option than many other juices currently on the market. The Juice pouches also contain no artificial preservatives and are the first kids drink to use the recently acclaimed natural sweetener Stevia – a zero calorie ingredient that tastes like sugar, whilst keeping the drink all green on the new incoming drinks traffic light system.

Appy will also be running a competition, with prizes to be won, every week; Prizes will include a range of goodies including: teddy bears, DVDs, stickers, iPods, iPads, passes to Nickelodeon Land for a family of four, and a grand prize of being taken on a cruise holiday on a Nickelodeon cruise line. To enter the competition entrants must scan the props on the back of the juice packages and use them on the Appy Drinks App to customise their own pictures, and then share them via Twitter or Facebook. T&Cs will apply. You can find out more information about Appy Food & Drinks Co.'s upcoming Nickelodeon Juice line here on NickALive!.

The official website of The York Press, a local daily newspaper for communities in North and East Yorkshire, UK, and is based on the city of York, is reporting in the following article that Nickelodeon Movies star Nicola Peltz, who played Katara in M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" in 2010, which was a big screen live-action adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon original animated series (Nicktoon) "Avatar: The Last Airbender", has been cast as the lead female role in Paramount Pictures' upcoming sequel to their "Transformers" movie franchise, "Transformers 4", which will be directed by Michael Bay. IMDb is also reporting that Nicola Peltz will be playing the daughter of Mark Wahlberg and will be the go-to human for the Autobots. The York Press reports further on this news and reports, based on early plot outlines, she will be dating the arrogant race car driver played by Jack Reynor. The latest "Transformers" film, which is set after the events of the previous movie ("Transformers 3"), is due to begin filming in Michigan later this year (2013) and is scheduled for theatrical release in June 2014.

Asked whether former 'Transformers' star Megan Fox might return for the forthcoming movie on Twitter, Bay responded: "No. Female lead has been cast. Nicola Peltz."

The 18-year-old actress previously starred in M. Night Shyamalan's 'The Last Airbender' in 2009, which was a big screen adaptation of the Nickelodeon animated series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'.

We have known for a while that Nicola Peltz has been cast in Transformers 4. She will be playing the daughter of Mark Wahlberg and will be the go-to human for the Autobots, now that Shia has decided to move on to greener pastures.

With that all said, this casting news has never been officially confirmed by the man himself, Michael Bay... until now via Bay’s twitter page:
