Nick Jr. Italy To Premiere "Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks" On Monday 18th May 2015
Nick Jr. Italy has announced the exciting Nickelodeon International News in their new trailer, below, that Nick Jr. Italy (Italia) will start to premiere and show the brand-new CG-animated preschool series "Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks" from Monday 18th May 2015 at 19:15!
Nickelodeon Germany and Nickelodeon Switzerland to Premiere "Little Charmers" on Monday 8th June 2015
Nickelodeon Germany has announced the exciting Nickelodeon International news on their "Nick Pressecenter" that Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland) and Nickelodeon Switzerland (Swiss/Schweiz) will start to premiere and show "Little Charmers", a brand-new animated preschool series that celebrates the magic of friendship, weekdays from Monday 8th June 2015!
Nick Germany will debut each all-new "Little Charmers" episode every Monday to Friday at 8:45am, and Nick Switzerland will premiere each brand-new "Little Charmers" episode weekdays at 9:25am.
"Little Charmers" is an brand-new animated series for pre-schoolers produced by Nelvana Enterprises and Spin Master Entertainment ("PAW Patrol") featuring charmer-in-training, Hazel, and her two best friend charmers, Posie and Lavender, who are getting a broom handle on their special powers. On any given day in the magical land of Charmville, these novice charmers are excited to break in their magical powers and go on exciting adventures led by fearless go-getter Hazel. She knows while in training she should only use her magic for really important things, but it's just too hard NOT to use magic to go on a cool adventure, help someone, fix something, or just have fun...even when it backfires, which it often does. Luckily, she has Posie, an apprentice Spellerina and Lavender, who is training to be a Potionista (mixer of magic potions with a fashion flare) to back her up. Together these Little Charmers make their way in the world of wonderment around them. No matter what their fantastical day brings, like accidentally setting loose a herd of unicorns, or teaching a baby dragon to fly, it still always comes down to friendship, learning about yourself and having fun along the way. "Little Charmers" empowers viewers to feel confident they too have the magic inside (power, talents, abilities, self-esteem, confidence) and can do anything they set their hearts and minds to. "Little Charmers" invites preschoolers to enter a whimsical world full of spellbinding adventures!

Nickelodeon Germany To Premiere "Gangsta Granny" Movie On Saturday 13th June 2015
Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland) has announced the exciting Nickelodeon International news in the following press release, from Nick Germany's "Nick Pressecenter", that Nickelodeon Germany will be holding the German premiere of the popular British comedy-drama television movie "Gangsta Granny" on Saturday 13th June 2015 at 6:00pm!
She's an OAP with attitude! When Mum and Dad drop schoolboy Ben off to stay at his Granny's for the evening, he expects the usual-boring old cabbage soup, never-ending knitting and endless Scrabble with his equally boring Grandma. Until one day, Ben's Granny tells him an incredible story... that she was once known as the 'Black Cat', a notorious international jewel thief! Together they go on a wild adventure to complete the one heist she never quite managed in her criminal heyday - to break into the Tower of London, and steal the crown jewels!
Based on the bestselling book by David Walliams and boasting an impressive all-star cast including Joanna Lumley ("Absolutely Fabulous"), Rob Brydon ("The Gruffalo", "Gavin & Stacey"), Miranda Hart ("Call the Midwife", "Miranda"), Julia McKenzie (Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple"), newcomer Reece Buttery ("The Dumping Ground"), who makes his feature film debut, and a hilarious cameo from superstar Robbie Williams (Take That), "Gangsta Granny" is a must-see comedy treat for all the family.
With "Gangsta Granny" Nickelodeon shows an entertaining and surprising comedy that brings together several generations and shows that Grandmothers do not necessarily belong on the scrap heap!
Original Nickelodeon Deutschland Press Release:
Diese Oma hat es faustdick hinter den Ohren – Nickelodeon präsentiert die Deutschlandpremiere des Spielfilms 'Gangsta Granny'
Premiere am 13. Juni um 18:00 Uhr bei Nickelodeon // Basierend auf dem Kinderbuch von David Walliams // Mit Julia McKenzie als Gangsta Granny und einem Gastauftritt von Robbie Williams
Berlin 30. April 2015 – Julia McKenzie, bekannt als Agatha Christie's „Miss Marple“, gewinnt als authentische Großmutter spielend leicht die Sympathien der Zuschauer. Reece Buttery meistert als Enkel Ben sein Spielfilmdebut mit Bravour. Ebenfalls mit dabei: Miranda Hart („Call the Midwife“, „Miranda“) und Autor der Buchvorlage David Walliams („Little Britain“, „Mr. Stink“). Nickelodeon zeigt 'Gangsta Granny' als Deutschlandpremiere am 13. Juni um 18:00 Uhr.
Weil Bens Eltern mit Leidenschaft an Tanzturnieren teilnehmen, ist der Elfjährige gezwungen viel Zeit bei seiner Oma zu verbringen. Das stinkt ihm gewaltig, denn in seinen Augen ist seine Großmutter sterbenslangweilig. Alles was sie tut, ist Scrabble spielen und Kohlsuppe essen. Dass er mit seiner Einschätzung mächtig falsch liegt, ahnt Ben zum ersten Mal, als er versteckt in einer Keksdose wertvolle Diamanten findet. Kurz darauf erwischt er sie auf frischer Tat: beim Ausrauben eines Juweliers. Seine Oma, eine Meisterdiebin? Nachdem Oma ihr unglaubliches Geheimnis mit Ben geteilt hat, gehen sie schließlich gemeinsam auf Beutezug. Und sie planen einen ganz besonderen Coup: sie wollen die Kronjuwelen der Königin von England stehlen.
Mit 'Gangsta Granny' zeigt Nickelodeon eine unterhaltsame und überraschende Komödie, die mehrere Generationen zusammenbringt und zeigt, dass Großmütter nicht unbedingt zum alten Eisen gehören.
'Gangsta Granny' als Deutschlandpremiere bei Nickelodeon am Samstag, den 13. Juni um 18:00 Uhr.

"I've volunteered and raised money for Camp Oasis, a summer camp that supports children living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. I also started a teen awareness campaign in New York City schools. I want to thank CCFA naming me this year's Rising Star. I hope to help inspire the next generation of supporters to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis once and for all."
Veteran news reporter and Crohn's disease patient Cynthia McFadden of NBC News hosted this year's luncheon. The luncheon's honorary chairs were Nancy Brown and Diane Miller, and the chairs were Ellen Crown, Elyse Newhouse, Michelle Swarzman, and Michele Sweetwood. This year's luncheon also featured a fashion show from Oscar de la Renta, showcasing its Fall 2015 collection for the first time in New York.

Over the past three years, the luncheon has raised more than $5.4 million to support research and education of these debilitating inflammatory bowel diseases.
"The Women of Distinction Luncheon is an incredibly important event that provides CCFA with the opportunity to publicly acknowledge and thank some of the incredible women whose work profoundly touches the lives of patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis every day," said Michele Zellers, executive director of CCFA's Greater New York Chapter.

I applaud Eliza, Cyma, Lara, and Chloe for their ongoing support of those living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, both in New York and around the country."
Known collectively as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are painful, medically incurable diseases that attack the digestive system. Crohn's disease may attack anywhere along the digestive track, while ulcerative colitis inflames only the large intestine (colon). Symptoms may include abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, fever, weight loss and fatigue, and many patients require numerous hospitalizations and surgeries.

Chloe's involvement in the CCFA is very personal, as she has grown up seeing firsthand how Crohn's disease has affected the life of her mother, Dana. Limitations on diet, all too frequent episodes of stomach pain, several late night trips to a hospital ER and a weeklong stay for surgery are not the kind of memories that a child should have of their mother. However, Chloe has time and time again risen to the occasion by responding with empathy, love and support. Our family, her friends, and the CCFA are inspired by Chloe's commitment to such a personal and socially important cause.
Chloe's passion for achievement is also seen in her dedication to academics and extra curricular activities at Columbia Preparatory School where she is in the 9th grade. Chloe is active in the school theatre department, and a player on the varsity tennis team.

About Chloe Hubbe
Chloe Elizabeth Hubbe is grateful to everyone affiliated with the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America for being selected the Rising Star Recipient for 2015. Chloe began her involvement with the CCFA in 2012 when she pledged time and resources for Camp Oasis as part of her Bat Mitzvah project. Since that time, Chloe has stayed connected with the CCFA. In 2014 she started a teen awareness campaign across New York City schools to raise funds for research, increase awareness of the disease, and to help inspire the next generation of supporters to find a cure once and for all!
Chloe's involvement in the CCFA is very personal, as she has grown up seeing firsthand how Crohn's disease has affected the life of her mother, Dana. Limitations on diet, all too frequent episodes of stomach pain, several late night trips to a hospital ER and a weeklong stay for surgery are not the kind of memories that a child should have of their mother. However, Chloe has time and time again risen to the occasion by responding with empathy, love and support. Our family, her friends, and the CCFA are inspired by Chloe's commitment to such a personal and socially important cause.
Chloe's passion for achievement is also seen in her dedication to academics and extra curricular activities at Columbia Preparatory School where she is in the 9th grade. Chloe is active in the school theatre department, and a player on the varsity tennis team.
