Hey M Girls!

M intern Christie here! I spent my Saturday in Riverside Park in NYC with some of our fave Nickelodeon stars for the Worldwide Day of Play kick-off event! When I got there, Leon Thomas from Victorious was about to sing the National Anthem for the Big Brothers Big Sister's 4k race!

I made my way to the Nickelodeon tent and found the one and only Daniella Monet! Since she was a panelist on the live Figure it Out taping (that was happening in the afternoon), I was super-excited to talk to her before she got covered in slime!

Daniela was inspired by our brand new "Juicy Texts" issue and wanted to share her texting tales:

Next, I chatted with Leon Thomas, and he showed off his copy of M -- what a cutie!

Check out his text talk here:

Then, it was time for the Figure It Out live show! The panelists, Matt Bennett (AKA Victorious' Robbie Shapiro), Gracie Dzienny from Supah Ninjas, Daniella Monet, and Lucas Cruikshank (FRED), were totally stumped by the contestant's secret talent! They had ice cream cones dumped on them! They started eating them and then decided to throw some into the crowd! When they did the "secret slime action", these Nick stars got COVERED in slime! Since they had super silly hats on (Matt's hat even had blonde braids attached to it) they didn't get too green! Matt even waved to me from the stage!

Right after the Figure it Out taping, Rachel Crow came out for a performance -- she did a great job!

Rachel started off her set with "My Kind of Wonderful" and then totally rocked out with "Forget You"! At the end of this song, she even hinted that she'll be filming a Nickelodeon show! She ended her performance with her empowering tune, "Mean Girls" -- it was awesome!

Afterwards, I went backstage and caught up with Rachel about the album she's working on, how she's loving Demi on X Factor, and her upcoming pilot!

It was such a fantastic day with the Nick stars at the kickoff to Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play! Don't forget to get outside and play on the official Worldwide Day of Play on October 6th!

Let's Dish:
-How will you celebrate Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play on Saturday? Would you ever want to get slimed?

Hey M Girls,

We were super-excited when Victorious star, Leon Thomas, teamed up with Big Time Rush for the last leg of their super-successful Big Time Summer Tour! As a special treat for M Girls' eyes only, Leon wanted to share some exclusive behind-the-scenes pics from his time with the guys on tour so far.

Here's Leon with Carlos from BTR. Leon told us about Big Time Rush: "They're really cool. I really don't get a chance to see them as much as if we were working on a show together, just because we all have separate tour buses, so that's a little bit different. But for the most part, when I see them we get a chance to chat about our break."

Check out Leon with his badge! We asked him how it felt joining the tour so late in the game, and he spilled: "I was kind of like the new kid on the block, but for the most part I really fit in just fine and everyone has been really welcoming and the shows have been great. I'm having fun and happy that everything is moving right." Awesome!

Psst...here's his dressing room! So what will you find him doing right before the show? He spills: "I stretch and warm up. Oh, I don't eat before a show!"

And here he is in action! So what's his fave song to perform on tour? He tells us: "One of my favorites right now is "Moving On." People have really responded well to that and my EP "Metro Hearts." I'm glad that even when I do it live, they still show the love."

Even though Leon is a busy guy, he always makes time for fans! He says: "My fans just love the show, they love the music, and I love them back." Aww!

We're so proud of you Leon, and we know you're killin' it on tour!

Let's dish:
-Which of Leon's pics was your fave? What song would you want to hear him perform live?

Hey M Girls,

Big Time Rush has been having a major blast on their "Big Time Summer Tour" with Cody Simpson and Rachel Crow -- and it's about to get even more fun! Victorious star Leon Thomas is joining the guys for the remainder of their tour, starting with the August 21 show in Virginia Beach! Congrats, Leon!

Let's dish:

Hey M Girls!

M Editor Brittany here and I can't wait to tell you all about my awesome trip to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida with the Victorious cast! The entire cast was there to kick-off Universal's Summer Concert Series, do a Q&A session with fans, sign autographs and of course, have a blast on the amazing rides and roller-coasters! As soon as I saw the cast, they greeted me with big hugs and were so excited to see the new issue of M! Ariana and her bro Frankie told us how much they loved the pics from her bedroom shoot--so did we! Here's other things I noticed:

-Ariana and Victoria were super-close, right before our interview with the cast, Ariana was showing something to Vic on her phone and they both Instagrammed a cute pic of them!
-Daniella Monet brought her adorable boyfriend, Andrew who was so supportive during the concert. He kept yelling her name and taking pix of her
-Ariana and Leon spilled only to us about their upcoming duet! "We did a cover that's really amazing--it's Drake and Rihanna's 'Take Care'. Ariana added to us: "It sounds ridiculous. Very special." Can't wait to hear it! Look for more scoop in the upcoming August issue of M!

The weekend was jam-packed before the concert, but I made sure to get video from the guy Q&A, where fans got to ask the boys anything they wanted!

Here's Matt Bennett, Leon Thomas and Avan Jogia talking about their fave songs from the show:

Matt explains how he learns to be a ventriloquist!

The boys spill advice to you on how you can get your big break in Hollywood:

We were LOL-ing when Avan told us about his dream involving a panther!

After the Q&A, we got to ride some of the attractions ourselves (The Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride was our fave and we absolutely fell in love with Butter Beer!). Then I headed to a Victorious episode screening, where I totally got the cast's rap "Five Fingers To The Face" stuck in my head for the rest of the day! Luckily, I got to see the fun song live that night, so I was ready to sing along! LOL :)

The concert was packed with people and I talked to Frankie, Ariana's bro right before the cast took the stage. He had his own camera out to video their performance -- what a great sibling! Check out vids from the concert:

The cast sings "Make It In America":

And here's Victoria singing "Make It Shine"

The concert was so much fun -- Leon Thomas and Matt Bennett got the crowd doing their solo performances and Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande debuted their new duet "LA Boys" which was a TOTAL hit. (Sorry--we weren't allowed to record video during that song, but the tune will premiere in an upcoming episode of Victorious!). When the cast finished their last song together, we totally wanted more--the concert was so much fun!

So let's dish:
-What's your fave Victorious song? Who's your fave castmember?
