What a bummer -- no more summer! But that doesn't mean that the weather still can't be fun... thanks to the animated movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in IMAX 3D in theaters today!
The flick is based on a children's book about an inventor whose contraption accidentally destroys his town square makes it start showering the town with food!
The familiar voices include Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Bobb'e J. Thompson, Benjamin Bratt, Neil Patrick Harris, and Lauren Graham. Plus it features a song byiCarly star Miranda Cosgrove called "Raining Sunshine."
Will you be seeing Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs this weekend?!

J-14 rounds up everything you need to know that happened this weekend...
1- The Jonas Brothers official YouTube account was "suspended" temporarily on Saturday, but is now up and running again (and is now up to 3.3 million views and counting!).
2- Fan sites have been following Twilight star Rob Pattinson's every move for the last few months... but he finally got a few days of privacy as everyone wondered where in the world is Robby P.? Did he fly back to London and slip out without being spotted? Turns out, he'd actually been keeping a low profile in New York City and was caught again by cameras this afternoon enjoying the warm weather in the city with his longtime friend Tom Sturridge.
3- Kris Allen continued the American Idol tradition of singing the national anthem at the NBA finals less than an hour ago. Also in attendance at the game were Zac Efron, Rihanna, Diddy, Denzel Washington, Adam Levine, Will.I.Am, and Christopher Mintz Plasse. If you missed it, here's the clip:
5- Rumors are swirling about what really happened to Heidi Montag down in Costa Rica during the filming of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. Stay tuned for details.
6- The Nickelodeon stars all got together too for a big photo shoot, with Keke Palmer, Miranda Cosgrove, and Victoria Justice all in attendance.
7- The Young Hollywood Awards are just about to start out in L.A.
8- How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris is hosting the Tony Awards live from Radio City Music Hall in New York right now... and just mentioned J-14!

10- And last but not least, the JoBros just debuted their new music video for "Fly With Me":
11- Oh, and also this weekend's hottest trend is the new Twitter game, Twitter Vampire. (We're such Twilight fans, we couldn't resist playing!) J-14 readers loved biting us so much that we became the #1 Most Bitten "Tasty Prey" of the day (even beating Twilight's Peter Facinelli, as well as Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers, Ashton Kutcher, and Selena Gomez!).
Right this very minute, Miranda Cosgrove's Sweet 16 Birthday Bash is happening in L.A.! She just Tweeted, "On my way to my bday party! AHHH!?! I'm so excited! :)".
Miranda herself might not be there yet, but J-14's got exclusive details on her party! Like the cake she got on her actual birthday this week (on May 14), the theme is pink and purple. And there are couches on the pillow that say, "Miranda's 16th Birthday." How fun!
And Suite Life on Deck star Debby Ryan is celebrating with her own Sweet 16 tomorrow, but that doesn't mean she skipped Miranda's! She's already there right now (and had a busy day with the premiere of Up earlier!).
The Suife Life on Deck's Debby Ryan turned 16 on Wednesday and iCarly's Miranda did yesterday... and both are celebrating with awesome Sweet 16 bashes this weekend!
Miranda is having a party with all her pals (including tons of Nickelodeon stars!) on Saturday. And Debby's having her party on Sunday. She's especially excited that the dance crew from America's Got Talent, Awakening, will be performing. Sounds like a great way to get the dance floor going!
What would be your dream Sweet 16 Party?

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!
J-14's following your favorite stars on Twitter and we're kicking off a new J-14.com feature to highlight what's going on in the Twitterverse today!
The most popular activity the stars were doing on this sunny Sunday (the weather was beautiful in both LA and NY!)? Watching Zac Efron's movie 17 Again. It's no wonder the movie is #1 at the box office, bringing in an estimated $24 million!
The Suite Life on Deck's Debby Ryan saw it and said it was "sooo funny!" Singer (and Jonas Brothers pal) Tiffany Giardina also saw the movie today and says "17 is my new lucky number :)." And perhaps in the biggest compliment of all, Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomezsaw 17 Again today too -- and it wasn't her first time! "Seeing 17 Again. Again." she Tweeted from her Blackberry.
Others spent the day relaxing: Joel Madden had an "awesome" brunch with Nicole Richie and baby Harlow, and Wizards of Waverly Place's Jennifer Stone hit up a flea market. And Miley Cyrus was busy traveling in Europe, and squeezed in some sight-seeing in Rome!
We've already got the scoop from the orange carpet... Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens just arrived -- and the Jonas Brothers, Keke Palmer, Miranda Cosgrove, America Ferrera, Taylor Lautner, Megan Fox, Jesse McCartney,Chris Pine, Miley Cyrus, and Corbin Bleu are already in the house!
Check out this awesome vid that Miranda Cosgrove & Keke Palmer just sent exclusively to J-14! The girls are each in their own trailers, talking through video chat! Wanna know what they think about the Kids' Choice Awards and the brand new eps of their shows, iCarly and True Jackson, VP? Listen in!
Don't forget to tune in to back-to-back iCarly & True Jackson episodes on Nick from 6 - 7 pm all this week.
Miranda Cosgrove interviewed Drake Bell on the set of Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh and J-14's sharing the deets!
MIRANDA: What's it like working with Josh again? DRAKE: It's awesome! It's totally cool! We haven't worked together for two year--and you! It's really cool. I love getting everybody back together again and I just love--it's awesome! It's a bummer it's almost over.
MIRANDA: I know.
DRAKE: Yeah, it's a bummer. I got to come over and work on iCarly now.
MIRANDA: Yeah you should.
MIRANDA: What do you do during your down time on set? DRAKE: During my time on set, you know hang out at the crafts service table. Eat carrots and celery.
MIRANDA: Did you try the cupcakes today?
DRAKE: Yeah, they're delicious! Did you try them the other day when they had the chocolate chips in the cupcakes? I've never seen that before. It was awesome! So, you know that.
MIRANDA: Do you have any on screen crushes or girlfriends in the movie?
DRAKE: Onscreen crushes...I don't think I can have any onscreen crushes because everyone in this movie is like nine years old. We're working mostly with the foster kids. Oh wait! I do have two kissing scenes, so I guess there is two onscreen crushes.
MIRANDA: Tell us about them.
DRAKE: Well one I was dressed like Santa Clause, it was quite funny because you know the hair with the beard, it's difficult to kiss with it on because you it in the mouth you know. And the other one was behind the bleachers while the cops were chasing Josh around. I was busy making out, which was nice for me.
MIRANDA: What's been your favorite part of filming the movie?
DRAKE: Favorite part about filming the movie so far... I don't know. There's a lot of things. All the kids were great. Working with Kimbo Slice is awesome, playing Bludge. He's so cool. And getting to work with all of you guys again, getting you know, Nancy, and Jonathon, and Josh, and you, and everybody--It's really cool. It's like a big family reunion.
MIRANDA: What scene in the movie is your favorite?
DRAKE: The snow scene. Probably when we all run out and they have all that fake snow. It looks really cool. That was fun.
Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh airs this Friday on Nickelodeon!
This Saturday, you don't want to miss The Naked Brothers' Band kick off their third season with the premiere of "Mystery Girl" airing at 8:30 p.m. on Nickelodeon. The awesome episode features guest star Miranda Cosgrove, who locks lips with Nat! J-14 was there the day they filmed their awkwardly adorable kiss and we just had to find out how the Nick stars prepped for their on-screen smooch! "I just popped a little gum," Nat told J-14. "I've known Nat pretty well, so it's not too embarrassing," Miranda chimed in.
J-14 just got back from the set of the Naked Brothers Band, and have lots of
fun insider info to share!
Miranda Cosgrove was hanging out on set because she'll be guest starring in
the one-hour premiere episode of NBB airing on Nick Oct. 17! In the episode,
Miranda plays herself, cast as Nat's love interest in a movie he's making. I
got to see them film the kissing scene and let me tell you— it's
steamy! How did Nat prep for the smooch? "Just some gum," he dished.
I also got to check out all the cool sets the band uses like the fuzzy room
and the NNB wardrobe floor--that's right, the cast has an entire floor full
of clothing racks to choose from! Ahh what I would do with a closet that
size...
Miranda and Nat chowed down on sushi for lunch and get along really well.
There was lots of giggling and goofing around between takes!
Are you looking forward to this episode? Let us know what you think!!
This just in: Miranda Cosgrove and Nat Wolf will share a kiss in the
one-hour season premiere of The Naked Brothers Band, airing on Nickelodeon
Oct. 17! J-14 was on set to catch the action yesterday as Nick's two biggest
stars shot their special scene on the NBB> set in NYC!
In the premiere, Miranda, playing herself, is cast as Nat's love interest in
a movie he's shooting. Look out for a duet between the two singers, and some
definite sparks! How will Rosalina feel about all this? Hmmm...
Expect this along with tons of new surprises and great tunes when Naked
Brothers returns this fall!
