Hollywood Crush › iCarly

Like the Olsens, Emma Watson and Natalie Portman before her, Miranda Cosgrove is putting her acting career on hold this fall to attend college. The “iCarly” star is all set to matriculate at the University of Southern California, and when she stopped by the MTV News offices this week to chat about Michelle Obama's guest appearance on her Nick show, she also revealed why she wanted to pursue her latest role as college co-ed.

“I’m really excited. I loved school. I went to school until fifth grade, and then I started doing home schooling, but I just loved everything about it,” she explained. “I loved being in the classroom and having friends and the whole school environment. So I’m excited to maybe live in a dorm and make new friends and have the college experience.”

Victoria Justice couldn’t be more excited for her show's first-ever Emmy nomination. The Nick series is up for Outstanding Children's Program against fellow heavy hitters, like "A Child's Garden Of Poetry," "Degrassi," "iCarly" and "Wizards Of Waverly Place."

When we caught up with Victoria on the Cleveland set of her upcoming Halloween movie "Fun Size" last week—the same day the nominations were announced—she was psyched by the prospect of being in such great company. "We're nominated for an Emmy, which is crazy," she dished. "I'm so honored that we were even recognized and it's really, really very exciting."

While most people start their day with a cup of coffee or an infuriating commute, director-producer-reality television judge Adam Shankman began his with the cast of "Glee" (you win again, Shankman!). He tweeted to followers in the a.m., "Woke up today, and smiled and prayed today #glee shoot is as fun as yesterday. Huge days, but the best cast and crew." But he made sure to give "Gleeks" some news that was bound to make any theater kids' day, as he posted, "Pics from set forthcoming...and get ready to have ur halloween time warped!!!" That's right, the cast of "Glee" will be taking on "The Rocky Horror Picture Show!" We're shaking with antici....pation!

Of course, between filming what is bound to be epic new episodes for the second season of "Glee," the cast finds time to party with other famous faces in Hollywood. "iCarly" star Miranda Cosgrove (who spent time with Jane Lynch when she made a guest appearance this year) shared, "Had such a fun night last night! It involved flying escargot, bacon flavored ice cream, & a crazy man running thru a restaurant with a flag." Miranda (pictured) later added, "There were also some Glee cast members involved....crazy night :-p"

"iCarly" has had some pretty famous faces drop by as of late, first with Jane Lynch and now, Jack Black (pictured)! Star Miranda Cosgrove, who starred with Jack in "School of Rock," tweeted, "filming with Jack Black! I can't wait! The scene is pretty crazy! U guys r gonna be surprised :)" While her co-star, Jennette McCurdy, had a hard time not being starstruck, telling followers, "Jack Black just high-fived me and I said 'I can barely breath right now. 'Hello Embarrassing, I see we're hangin out early this mornin."

As Jack Black is busy shaking things up on "iCarly" things are just as we left them over at "Gossip Girl", despite any rumors you may have heard. The show's writer/executive producer Josh Schwartz cleared up, well, gossip, that Blake Lively wanted to bow out in a very dramatic fashion. Josh posted, "Have to respond: no truth to rumors that BL requested to have Serena killed. All is well. GG S4 back on 9/13." XOXO, Josh!

This 17-year-old can do it all. She stars in TV shows, has been featured in major movies, she came out with her first album this year, and she recently lent her voice for the upcoming film “Despicable Me.” And did I mention that she’s incredibly funny and poised? What more could we ask for? Obviously a place for Miranda Cosgrove on our Girl Crush hall of fame!

You may remember when she made her film debut in the 2003 Jack Black comedy, “School of Rock,” or when she played the mischievous sister Megan Parker in her breakout role in Nickelodeon’s “Drake and Josh.” But most fans know her today as Carly, the high-schooler who hosts her own web show, from the series that made her famous, “iCarly.”

It's no secret that Jane Lynch makes any television show significantly better. Can you even begin to imagine "Glee" without the terrorizing and hilarious Sue Sylvester? Now, the actress, who most recently cracked us up on the finale of the now dearly departed "Party Down" (sigh!), will put her magic touch on "iCarly" as none other than Sam's (played by Jennette McCurdy) mystery mom!

Entertainment Weekly reported yesterday that Jane will appear in an episode that is set to air during the show's upcoming third season.
