On January 12, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti. A week later, the Caribbean nation is still struggling to pick up the pieces. Nickelodeon is pitching in to try and help the residents of Haiti, where over half of the population is under 18-years-old.

Nick started a new site just for teens, letting you know how you can get involved. Visit The Big Help: Help Haiti for tons of ideas on how you can make a difference, including coordinating a fundraiser and supporting a relief organization.

True Jackson, VP's Keke Palmer is joining Nickelodeon's cause as well. She took to her MySpace page to rally for help. "Please let's continue to pray for the people of Haiti," Keke wrote. "What has happened to their country is horrendous. Please, please, please keep them in your prayers. Also, you can make a donation to Wyclef Jean's organization for Haiti Relief on his site yele.org... I am so sorry about what has happened to [Wyclef's] beloved Haiti. My prayers are with him and all of the families devastated by this disaster."

What are you doing in your hometown to help Haiti?

Big Time Rush -- the story of four friends who move from Minnesota to Los Angeles to become the next big thing in pop music -- officially premieres tonight, Monday, 1/18, on Nickelodeon! J-14 chatted with the four stars of BTR -- Carlos Pena, James Maslow, Logan Henderson, and Kendall Schmidt -- to get the scoop on their characters and some behind-the-scenes secrets!

J-14: What are your Big Time Rush characters all about?
James Maslow: My character, James Diamond, is the lovable narcissist. He's very much into himself, fashion, and fame -- that's what drives him. He really wants to be a pop star. At the same time, he loves his buddies -- if one person wasn't there or if James was on his own, it wouldn't be the same.
Carlos Pena: My character, Carlos Garcia, is the wild one. He is the loveable moron that just wants to have fun. He may not always say the smartest things, but he's always having a good time. He keeps his buddies from being bored, like he's the first one to jump into a pool!
Logan Henderson: My character Logan is the brainy, smart one. Whenever the guys get into trouble, he keeps them from going to jail. He knows he's the one who's very cautious, but he's confident in knowing that's what he's like.
Kendall Schmidt: I play Kendall Knight. He's the fair one out of the group who makes sure everyone is having a good time and being treated fairly. He's like an extreme version of myself.

J-14: Your characters played hockey in Minnesota but sing and dance in Los Angeles - do you have the same backgrounds as your characters?
Kendall: Carlos played street hockey when he was younger, James played a little bit, and Logan went to quite a few hockey games. But I've personally never played hockey in my life -- my first hockey game was [going to a] New York Rangers game. I could consider myself the resident musician. If there's no music coming from me, there's something wrong.
James: We all have a passion for music. Collectively, we've all come together with Kendall being the rocker. Logan and I like the oldies like Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder. Carlos listens to a lot of musical theater and acoustic stuff like Jack Johnson. We all have different vocal styles, and we come together to make a really cool mix.

J-14: What do you do for fun when you're not taping?
Carlos: We love singing. There's always music playing somewhere, and Kendall is always with his guitar. I can't tell you how many times we'll walk by and Kendall is just jamming out like crazy.

J-14: Have you guys pulled pranks on each other?
Carlos: I'm the prankster of the group! These soundstages are very enclosed so you smell everything, so I got some fart bombs and lit one off. They had to stop production because it smelled so bad. But the others got me back by putting two of them in my dressing room!

J-14 just hung out with Degrassi's Melinda Shankar (she plays Alli) and Sam Earle (KC)! The two flew down to New York City from Toronto for Nickelodeon's World Wide Day of Play. Nick is shutting off their programming from noon until 3 p.m. to encourage everyone to get outside!

To celebrate, Sean Kingston will be performing, and Melinda and Sam get to introduce him to the crowd. "I am so excited to meet Sean because I hear he's really nice!" Melinda tells J-14.

They may be TV stars, but Melinda and Sam enjoy spending time being active, too. "Since I was 3, I've been doing ballet and karate. I know it sounds like an awful mix, but somehow they help each other out! That's how I get out there and active," Melinda reveals. And Sam loves sports too -- he's played hockey since he was a kid, and he shocked Melinda by revealing that he took dance lessons as a little kid, too!

They're not the only stars getting in on the action -- Victoria Justice and True Jackson, VP's Keke Palmer are so excited for tomorrow that they also made an exclusive video just for J-14!

What do you do to get active? Will you be shutting off your TV tomorrow?

J-14 went on the set of Nickelodeon's The Troop in Vancouver, Canada, earlier this year, where we chatted with stars Nick Purcell, Gage Golightly, and David Del Rio. Check out our video above... and don't forget to catch the show tonight at 8 p.m./7 p.m. central.

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!).

Who said there's rivalry between Nickelodeon and Disney? All the actors are friends -- even Dylan and Cole Sprouse are at Miranda's birthday! :) Plus Victoria Justice and Ashley Argota!

J-14 hung out with Spectacular! and Zoey 101 star Victoria Justice in Vancouver, Canada, all week, and in honor of Mother's Day, Victoria shared her favorite Mother's Day memory with J-14ers.

We had such a blast hanging out with Victoria -- and her mom -- all week! So many laughs and way too much fun! :)

Check out the video and tell us what you're doing for your mom this Mother's Day!

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!

Nickelodeon's latest original movie, Mr. Troop Mom premieres on Nickelodeon June 19. The movie stars George Lopez, who plays a workaholic dad that becomes "Team Mom" in order to bond with his daughter. Be sure to watch the trailer below!

P.S. There's even a special guest appearance from Nat & Alex Wolff!

The day after his date with Selena, Taylor was spotted out in Vancouver with old friend Victoria Justice. J-14 exclusively broke the news in our April issue that Taylor and Spectacular!'s Victoria are good friends since meeting years ago at the Sharkboy and Lavagirl auditions! Check out these exclusive pics Victoria sent us that appeared in the April issue -- the top one is from last year and the one below from 2006 (how cute are little Victoria and Taylor?!).

The two are currently both in Vancouver, Taylor filming The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Victoria filming a Nickelodeon movie - about werewolves! (Maybe she's getting tips from "Jacob Black" himself?!) They met for lunch on Sunday with his dad and her mom in tow, and then walked around downtown together. Even though they've said before that they're just friends, we can't help but wonder if their time in Canada might lead to something more. Only time will tell!

So what do you guys think? Are Taylor and Victoria cute together? Should he date Selena or Victoria?
