iCarly CANCELED!
[EDIT]
Nickelodeon's hit series iCarly has been canceled after five seasons, reports TV Guide. In June, the cast will come together for the last time to film a special iCarly television event that will air in November. Nick president: 'iCarly has been a definitional show for Nick with kid empowerment at its core and irreverent, smart humor that families around the world enjoy. With its classic sitcom format and beloved characters, iCarly will always have a home on Nickelodeon.'
Many of the cast members will stay in the Nickelodeon family. The network has green-lit a new live-action series from Schneider starring McCurdy and a new pilot starring Munck as part of an overall talent deal with the 16-year-old. The network has also green-lit a pilot from producers Jay Kogen and Aaron Kaplan called Wendell & Vinnie, which stars Trainor as a goofball uncle who becomes the guardian to his conservative 12-year-old genius nephew. As for Cosgrove, she plans to attend USC in the fall.

Rachel Crow Nickelodeon TALENT DEAL
[EDIT]
US X Factor's Rachel Crow, 14, has been signed to Nickelodeon with an overall talent deal including a comedy series and Columbia Records/ Syco deal. Simon Cowell: 'I am incredibly happy for Rachel. This girl has it. We saw her potential at the first audition and Nickelodeon and Columbia are the right homes for her.
' She is slated to appear in a recurring role in Nickelodeon’s new comedy series FRED: THE SHOW appearing opposite Lucas Cruikshank. Crow will play Starr, an imaginative, confident but awkward teenager.
Like Fred, Starr’s self-perception doesn’t match up with how the world sees her. To her classmates, she seems a bit eccentric, but in her own mind, Starr is a wildly talented actress/ singer and ready to break out of her boring town. FRED: THE SHOW airs on Friday nights.
