Elizabeth Gillies is best known for her roles in the popular TV shows “Victorious” and “Dynasty.” Now, she’s making the jump to movies with her new film “Spread” which comes out this Friday on Tubi. Not only does Elizabeth star in it, but she also helped produce it—which was a first for her.
I had the chance to chat with Elizabeth about “Spread” and how this project was different than anything she’s done before. She told me she was totally burned out after wrapping up “Dynasty” so when she read the funny script for “Spread,” she was super interested right away. The story follows Ruby, an uptight journalist who ends up working at an adult magazine. Ruby goes through some big changes over the course of the movie—and so does her style of dressing!

For the better part of the last 15 years, Elizabeth Gillies has made a career out of playing sassy, snarky, strong-willed women on television. After rising to fame in her mid-teens as the mercurial Jade West on the hit Nickelodeon sitcom “Victorious,” Gillies made the transition to playing similarly rebellious adult characters, co-starring as Denis Leary’s daughter in his FX musical comedy “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll” and reimagining the role of Fallon Carrington in the CW’s modern-day reboot of “Dynasty.”
It was during the fifth and final season of “Dynasty” that Gillies was approached to star in and executive produce “Spread,” which premieres on July 19 on Tubi. Directed by Ellie Kanner and written by Buffy Charlet, the new film follows Ruby (Gillies), an aspiring (and very broke) journalist who is forced to swallow her pride and take a temp job at Spread, an outdated adult magazine.

"Spread's been around longer than you've been alive." Tubi has revealed an official trailer for Spread, a comedy that will be sent direct-to-streaming this summer. Not to be confused with the Ashton Kutcher indie comedy also called Spread from 2009 - these two films are entirely different. In this new Spread movie, an aspiring journalist who begrudgingly takes a job at an iconic adult magazine finds herself in an epic fight to save the company from bankruptcy. It's the world's largest adult magazine, and it might just change her life. Of course it will. This stars Elizabeth Gillies as Ruby, Harvey Keitel as Frank, Keith Walker, Diora Baird, David Allan Pearson, Teri Polo, Bryan Craig, Blake Harrison, and Diedrich Bader. This looks super cheesy and extra schmaltzy, definitely has the feel of a direct-to-tv release. Have a peek below. // Continue Reading ›...

Ariana Grande is reflecting on her time on Nickelodeon’s Victorious and Sam & Cat and admits that she is now “reprocessing” her experience amid Investigation Discovery’s Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV docuseries.
While appearing on the most recent episode of the Podcrushed podcast, co-hosted by Penn Badgley, who recently starred in her “The Boy Is Mine” music video, Grande recalled her time starring on Victorious and Sam & Cat, both of which were series created by Dan Schneider, who was a key subject in Quiet on Set.
“I was 14 and I flew out to audition with Liz Gillies for Victorious, and we were all very excited and we got cast and it was the best news we could hear,” Grande said. “We were young performers who just wanted to do this with our lives more than anything, and we got to and that was so beautiful.

Before Ariana Grande became a pop megastar, she was best known for playing Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious and its spinoff Sam & Cat. Now, she is looking back on that time with a new perspective. Appearing on the latest episode of Penn Badgley‘s Podcrushed podcast, Grande opened up about auditioning for Victorious at 14 years old and how special that felt at the time.

Penn Badgley goes from stalker to stalked in Ariana Grande’s music video, “the boy is mine.”
The You star and producer portrays the mayor of a city similar to New York, as it fights to end its growing rat problem by rounding up the local street cats and releasing them all at once to take down the rodents. Grande plays a city resident, obsessed with Badgley’s Max, creating a love potion to make him fall for her.
About halfway through the six-minute video, Grande is seen making and then wearing a Catwoman costume as she makes her way through the city to Max’s apartment. She uses her cat claws to carve a round hole in his window that she uses to enter his place.
When he’s startled to see her on his bed, he tries to run for it, but she grabs him by the leg...

In 1997, Disney released its animated film Hercules, which became a major hit globally. It earned an amazing $252.7 million on an $85 million budget, which was an exceptional amount of money back then, and it made history as one of Disney’s most beloved animated features. The original movie featured the voice talents of Tate Donovan (as Hercules), Danny DeVito (as Philoctetes), James Woods (as Hades), and Susan Egan (as Megara), some of who reprised their roles in the sequel animated series and the animated prequel. But, with Disney doing its series of live-action remakes of its animated classics, we know that Hercules is also being remade, and some recent rumors suggest that we have a chief candidate for the role of Megara!

Victoria Justice, who headlined Nickelodeon’s popular series “Victorious” for four seasons and 57 episodes between 2010 and 2013, said in a new interview with Marie Claire that she feels like series creator Dan Schneider owes her an apology as she was “treated unfairly” at times on the show. Schneider also created the series “Zoey 101,” which Justice appeared on prior to “Victorious.”
Schnieder has come under fire this year in the wake of the Investigation Discovery series “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” which included many misconduct allegations against him from his tenure at Nickelodeon. Clips from “Victorious” were heavily featured in the documentary as Schnieder was accused of making his young actors do inappropriate things on camera. Justice starred in the show alongside Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies and more.
“Something that was very evident in the documentary is that Dan had a very large ego,” Justice told Marie Claire.

The traditional goodwill surrounding the annual lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in New York City ran into angry pro-Palestinian protesters just outside the event.
News reports indicated hundreds of protesters swarmed the streets surrounding Rockefeller Center, as police tried to separate Christmas revelers from the protests, pushing back people chanting “river to the sea.” Arrests were made and several fights broke out.
Many of those who wished to see the Christmas tree lighting were turned away in the chaos.
Barry Manilow, Carly Pearce, Darene Love, Katherine Mcphee and David Foster, Liz Gillies, and the Radio City Rockettes were among the artists scheduled to perform.
The event was televised by NBC, which focused on the stars on the stage to the exclusion of the riotous behavior yards away.
Waving Palestinian flags and signs, the protesters gathered along Sixth Avenue alongside tourists waiting in line to see the tree ceremony.

Victoria Justice is making it clear that things are all good between her and her former "Victorious" costar Ariana Grande. In an April 18 interview with E! News at Coachella, Justice expressed some of her frustrations with rumors that the pair might be feuding. "I don't even need to talk about this anymore," she said, "but Ariana texted me, and we both were like, 'This is so stupid.'"
"I think the biggest rumor is just like this whole narrative that was created of me being jealous of her and us not being friends," Justice continued. "This is so dumb. Ten years later. How is this even a story? This is so stupid." The actor went on to confirm that she and Grande have texted and assured each other that there are no hard feelings. She also said that their feud was an example of "the media and people wanting to pit people against each other.

Tubi announced on September 22 it has begun production on its upcoming original movie Spread. Spread is inspired by the true story of an idealistic young woman who takes a job as a temp at an old-fashioned adult magazine. The film stars Elizabeth Gillies (Dynasty) and Harvey Keitel.

Daniella Monet is speaking out about the environment on Nickelodeon's "Victorious." Monet played Trina on the series alongside Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies, and Victoria Justice. Monet was 18 when she started filming "Victorious," and all of her costars were younger.
On Aug. 30, Insider published an investigation into the work of "Victorious" creator Dan Schneider, who also produced Nickelodeon series like "Zoey 101," "Drake and Josh," "iCarly," and more. Jeanette McCurdy, who starred on "iCarly" and "Sam & Cat," recently spoke out about behavior on set of those shows by a person referred to as 'The Creator," in her memoir "I'm Glad My Mom Died," which some readers have interpreted as a reference to Schneider.
Monet told Insider that she previously reached out to Nickelodeon after filming a "Victorious" scene where she ate a pickle while applying lip gloss. She felt it was too sexual, but the network aired it anyway.
