The Kids Are All Right star Josh Hutcherson has teamed up with actor pal Avan Jogia to help him combat homophobia among teenagers.
The young star, who will lead the cast of this summer’s (12) The Hunger Games, is among the young celebrities promoting Jogia’s campaign as part of his Straight But Not Narrow organisation.
He’ll take part in a series of public service announcements urging heterosexual youths to be more understanding towards gay friends and schoolmates.He says, “To have a manly guy come out and say, ‘Yeah guys, being gay is totally cool…’ I think this is getting the message out there that it makes you more of a man to be comfortable with who you are and what you believe in.”
Here is a very short video of Liz Gillies and Avan encouraging kids to get active and save our planet, Earth.
Also, I apologize for lack of updates the past few days. I vow that it will never happen again
Thanks for understanding.
The complete second season of Victorious is coming to you! The DVD release date is May 15th, 2012. I’ll be back with more details of where you can find this, but most likely your local Walmart, K-Mart, & Target.
The synopsis is
Season 2 of Victorious shines even brighter as the students re-audition for their spots at Hollywood Arts, get ready for their first-ever prom, and drive a giant cupcake through the streets! Put your hands together for more music, more drama, and hilarious behind-the-scenes bloopers!
Recently Avan had a fashion interview with Dana and Joslyn of Clevver TV, talking about his approach to fashion, accessories, and of course his killer hair style. Unfortunately my computer won’t let me embed the video so here is the link. Check it out and enjoy!
BOP & Tiger Beat recently hung out with the cast of Victorious at Thomas Starr King Middle School in Los Angeles, California. The Nickelodeon stars were there on behalf of The Big Help to partner up with the National Wildlife Federation and local sixth graders to plant a garden in back of the school. Ariana Grande, Avan Jogia, Leon Thomas III, Daniella Monet, Elizabeth Gillies and Matt Bennett were all there getting down and dirty (Victoria Justice couldn’t make it because she was in England for the BRIT Awards). They helped create an eco-friendly campus with the lucky students by building compost bins and planters. Watch the video to see the cast in action and find out what they were like in middle school!
Avan and Josh Hutcherson were interviewing kids in the Gay Straight Alliance Clubs and helping GSA spread their message around the world. If you didn’t know Avan Jogia is the founder of the Straight But Not Narrow movement which features videos of young, straight and mostly male celebrities speaking out in support of their gay friends. Below is the video of Avan and Josh promoting GSA and why these kids wanted to make a difference in their community.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — A voice-activated password journal recently became the 19th product in Sakar International’s collection of branded consumer electronics and accessories for Victorious, the hit Nickelodeon live-action comedy starring Victoria Justice as a student at a performing arts high school. The full line – created in collaboration with Nickelodeon Consumer Products – ranges from a $14.99 walkie talkie set to a $99.99 high-end karaoke system reflecting the show’s strong music-related storyline.
Other music-oriented Victorious merchandise released by Sakar since the collection began shipping in October includes branded MP3 and CD players, a CD boombox, plush headphones, earbuds, microphone stand and a portable karaoke system. The line also spans a digital camera and pocket digital video recorder; room accessories including a corded phone, SMS text messengers, light-up message board and clock radio; and computer accessories including a wireless optical mouse, USB flash drive and netbook sleeve.
Next on the roadmap is an iPad karaoke system that includes speakers and a mic with an iPad docking station, which will allow consumers to download an app called Karaoke Anywhere enabling lyrics to be displayed on the iPad instead of a separate karaoke machine. Expected release date is Q2. All products are currently available at Toys ‘R Us.
Since its launch in April 2010, Victorious has been the number-one program in its timeslot on all TV with tweens 9-14 and teens 12-17, reaching 15.1 million tweens and 11.4 million teens each quarter. The show has earned multiple awards and industry accolades, including a 2011 Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Children’s Program.
Victorious follows teenager Tori Vega (Victoria Justice) who attends the prestigious performing arts high school, Hollywood Arts. From her first day at the school, however, Tori feels out of place among the amazingly talented students, especially mean diva Jade (Elizabeth Gillies, Broadway’s 13). But with the help of her older sister Trina (Daniella Monet, A Fairly Odd Movie, Nancy Drew) and new friends including the musically-gifted André (Leon Thomas III, August Rush, Broadway’s The Lion King, iCarly), brooding bad boy Beck (Avan Jogia, Spectacular!), eccentric Cat (Ariana Grande, Broadway’s 13) and lovable but psychologically scrambled ventriloquist Robbie (Matthew Bennett) – Tori realizes that she was born to perform and that entertaining people not only makes her happy but may change her life. The series features original music performed by Victoria Justice and the ensemble cast.
Victorious is the seventh Nickelodeon property for which Sakar has produced licensed products, following iCarly, Ni Hao Kai-lan, SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, and Go, Diego, Go!.
The Victorious collection will be on display with other new Sakar licensed merchandise at Central Hall Booth 10144 at the 2012 CES International conference that opens today in Las Vegas.
