iCarly's Jennette McCurdy is super busy! She just finish filming the upcoming Nickelodeon movie, Best Player, in Vancouver, the new iCarly movie, iQuit iCarly, airs this Saturday, and she's been going back and forth between Los Angeles and Nashville to record her upcoming country album! J-14 chatted with Jennette about her and a near-Twilight encounter in Canada!

J-14: What is iQuit iCarly all about?
Jennette McCurdy: It's a very exciting movie because Carly and Sam get into the biggest fight tthe audience has ever seen them get into yet. They have different views on how to run the web show. Sam's more laid-back and thinks iCarly should be run by going with the flow, a more impromptu style with more improv, and Carly thinks it should be more scripted, scheduled, and timed. They both have different but cool approaches, and they start arguing with each other. Then they meet these two boys -- one has Carly's view and one has Sam's view. Carly and Sam now have their right-hand man and that makes the fight even worse than it would have been if it was just the girls.

J-14: What was your favorite part about filming the movie?
Jennette: We got to dress up like purple aliens! We had these unitard, spandex outfits with purple wigs -- very unforgiving on the body and hair! Also, Miranda dressed up as a hobo and I dressed up as a vampire, complete with fangs, so it was very fitting for the whole vampire craze right now.

J-14: Can you tell us about your Best Player?
Jennette: There's a guy who's 32 and still lives with his parents. It's time for him to grow up and get out on his own, so they kind of kick him out of the house, but he doesn't have enough money to buy his own place. He's very good at computer games, so he buys this game called "Black Hole" that's having a tournament where the grand prize is $175,000. He becomes very good at this game and thinks he's going to win, but then discovers this other player who beats him each time. He thinks it's another guy, but then finds out that it's a 15-year-old girl, played by me! So he starts dating my mom to try and learn how he can beat me at the game. It was a blast for [my iCarly costar] Jerry Trainor and me to work on.

J-14: What games are you playing now?
Jennette: I play lots of Halo and Call of Duty with my brothers.

J-14: Did you see any of the Twilight cast while filming in Vancouver?
Jennette: I did not, but I was staying at the same hotel as Rob Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and Kristen Stewart! Knowing that is pretty cool. I hear they had to sneak out the back of the hotel because people were waiting for them! But I haven't seen New Moon -- isn't that crazy? I was going to go see it with Ashley Argota from True Jackson, VP, and then we had a promo shoot that day, but I'm definitely going to have to see it. I'll probably see it with my best friend Annie -- maybe this weekend!

J-14: What are you looking forward to this holiday season?
Jennette: Just being with my family -- that's definitely the coolest part for me because it's been a whirlwind year, so I'll have a couple of days before Christmas where I get to be with them. The holiday season is my favorite time of the year -- I love everything about it. We always go looking at Christmas lights, bake together and make gingerbread houses, watch Christmas movies, and drink hot chocolate.

iQuit iCarly airs this Saturday, December 4, at 8 p.m. on Nickelodeon.

Sailing on the Mariner of the Seas as part of the Nick Family Cruise was so much fun, we just had to ask Nathan Kress, Keke Palmer, and Jennette McCurdy what their absolute fave parts about being on the ship. J-14 just loved being out at sea (the water was so blue!). So what'd the Nick stars think of the high seas?

Nathan loved hanging with his bros. "Besides getting to meet the fans, the family time has been awesome. This is the first time my family has been together since the beginning of the year because [my brothers] are all going off to college and being counselors at summer camps. It's been a little bit of a mini reunion this week."

Like J-14, Keke loved just sailing! "My favorite part of the cruise was waking up every day, looking out the window, and seeing that I'm actually in a ship with water outside my window. That's just cool to wake up and see."

Jennette loved meeting iCarly fans. "The meet and greets were my favorite part. It's really amazing that all these people who come on the cruise show up [to meet us]. It stinks that it has to be so brief!"

What are your fave things to do during the summer? If you've been on a cruise, what was your fave part of the ship?

J-14 ran into True Jackson, VP'sKeke Palmer right after breakfast at the Windjammer Cafe on the Nick Family Cruise, and she told us that she was excited to head off the boat. We were in Mazatlan, on the West Coast of Mexico, a tourist town full of beaches and small shops. When we met up with her back on the boat that afternoon, we totally understood why she was so psyched. Check out all the things she got to do in one day, plus what she had in store for the next day's excursion (hint: iCarly's Jennette McCurdy did this too!).

What excursions would you want to do on a cruise? If you could hang out with Keke for a day, what activities would you want to do?

There were tons of shows at the Savoy Theater during the Nick Family Cruise, but the most special one was def on day one, where True Jackson, VP's Keke Palmer, iCarly's Nathan Kress, and iCarly's Jennette McCurdy talked to all the fams on the Mariner of the Seas during the Welcome Show! We've got more videos to come, but check out what Keke, Nathan, and Jennette just had to share with J-14 readers, including Keke's fave True Jackson ep this year and Jennette's plans for the rest of the cruise!

What do you think of Jennette's plans? What would you want to do ASAP on a cruise?

Hey J-14ers!

The Nickelodeon Family Cruise is almost over (tear!), but it's been a blast hanging out with iCarly's Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress plus True Jackson VP's Keke Palmer.

It's been an awesome week traveling from Los Angeles to Mexico and back again - Jennette and Keke both got to go on zip lines, explore Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta, and do meet and greets with Nick fans. Jennette looked sleepy and happy when we caught up with her after her zip line excursion - she went down 9 of them! We've hung out with all three Nick stars after their welcome show, between filming for Nick, and even checked out the awesome outfits the girls get to wear (I am completely jealous and ready to raid Jennette's closet). During their filming today, Keke and Jennette even broke out into song, belting out Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" - talk about a girl power anthem!

Tons of pictures and videos will be heading your way next week, but I wanted to let you guys know how cool it's been to hang out on board Royal Carribean's Mariner of the Seas cruise ship and learn all about Mexican culture on shore, from big port cities to small villages - Puerto Vallarta even had a Wal-Mart, just like back home! Check back next week for lots of insider deets on the awesome Nick Family Cruise!

Did you get to hang out on the Nick Family Cruise or are you going on the one next week? Have you gone on a cruise before? What's your fave fam vacay been like? And if you could hang out with Jennette, Nathan, and Keke on a cruise, what fun things would you want to do?

J-14 is so psyched for a special one-hour episode of iCarly -- "iDate a Bad Boy," which airs this Saturday, May 9 at 8 p.m. -- that we had to talk to Miranda about it! We have behind the scenes deets, from Miranda's first on-screen kiss to her favorite part of the episode and more!

J-14: What was your favorite part about filming "iDate a Bad Boy?"
Miranda: I found out my character was going to have a boyfriend for the first time, and I was really excited and freaking out. They had guys come in and audition and when they got it down to five boys, I got to go to the last call. I went in to meet them, and when the guy who got the part, Drew Roy, came in, I was just like, "Oh my gosh!" The ladies in the room were freaking out because he's really cute -- the casting director was holding her heart. He was super-cute and really nice. We had a great time on set. He's really sweet and it was my first time having to kiss anyone on the show, so I was nervous about it. He was a good person to pick.

J-14: What was your first big on-screen kiss like?
Miranda: I was definitely nervous at first, but I hung out with Drew and played video games on set which made it a lot better because I got to know him. We played Rock Band. I love Rock Band! My favorite part is the drums.

J-14: Was Drew anything like his character in real life?
Miranda: He did wear leather jackets and seem bad boyish. I'm not sure if he actually rides a motorcycle though.

J-14: Have you ever dated a bad boy in real life?
Miranda: I wish! I think girls always go for the bad boy. It's cool because in this special it turns out he really isn't as bad as Carly thinks. He has this embarrassing secret. It's funny, because Carly goes for him in the first place because she's really sweet and always gets good grades and does the right thing, so it was cool for her to branch out and go for someone a little wild -- but then she finds out he's not so wild after all!
