Nickelodeon's "Kids' Choice Awards" Host Nick Jonas, Platinum Selling Rapper Iggy Azalea With Grammy-Winner Jennifer Hudson, And Award Winning Pop-Rock Band 5 Seconds Of Summer To Perform At KCA 2015

Original Nickelodeon USA Press Release via NickPress.com:

NICKELODEON'S KIDS' CHOICE AWARDS HOST NICK JONAS, PLATINUM SELLING RAPPER IGGY AZALEA WITH GRAMMY-WINNER JENNIFER HUDSON, AND AWARD WINNING POP-ROCK BAND 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER TO PERFORM AT THIS YEAR’S SHOW

Jonas to Open with Epic Performance of His Chart Topping Hits on Saturday, March 28, at 8PM (ET/PT) Live from The "Fabulous" Forum


Santa Monica, Calif. – March 5, 2015 – Multitalented recording artist and actor Nick Jonas adds to his hosting duties with an opening performance of his number-one radio hit "Jealous" and Billboard Top 20 smash "Chains" at Nickelodeon's 28th Annual Kids' Choice Awards. Also set to take the stage at this year's show are hip-hop phenomenon Iggy Azalea, who will be joined by Grammy-winner Jennifer Hudson on their hit "Trouble," and Aussie pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer with the chart-topper "What I Like About You." The Kids' Choice Awards will air live from The "Fabulous" Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on Saturday, March 28, 8-9:30 p.m. (ET/PT). Kids can cast their votes in 21 categories across all of Nickelodeon's digital outlets – Nick.com desktops and mobile devices, as well as the Nick app on iOS, Kindle, and Android – and users will be able to vote on Nickelodeon's Twitter feed using #KCA.

"We are so excited to be nominated and perform at the Kids' Choice Awards! It's our first time at the show and it's going to be awesome!" said 5 Seconds of Summer.

Triple-KCA nominee Iggy Azalea is up for "Favorite New Artist," while hit songs "Fancy" (featuring Charli XCX) and "Problem" (Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea) are contenders for "Favorite Song of the Year." Iggy burst onto the charts with the smash, "Fancy," making history on the Billboard Hot 100 as the longest-leading #1 by a female rapper after an astounding seven weeks at the top of the charts. Iggy made chart history again as the first artist since The Beatles to rank at #1 and #2 simultaneously, and her debut album The New Classic peaked at #1 on the Billboard Rap Album charts--the first for an international female artist. This year, Iggy was nominated for four Grammy awards including Best New Artist and Best Rap Album, and just recently dropped her new single, "Trouble" featuring Grammy and Academy Award-winner Jennifer Hudson, which is steadily climbing the charts. Hudson's highly acclaimed album, "JHUD," was released in Fall 2014 in the top 10 on Billboard's Top 200 and recently garnered Hudson her fifth Grammy nomination. Hudson has also been seen blowing up the dance charts with Gorgon City's number one hit track, "Go All Night." Hudson's breakout film performance in "Dreamgirls" garnered her an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a BAFTA and an NAACP Image Award. Additional film credits include "Sex and the City," "Secret Life of Bees," "Winnie Mandela," "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete," and "Black Nativity."

Pop-rockers 5 Seconds of Summer, nominated for "Favorite New Artist," released their self-titled debut album in July 2014. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and logged the biggest first-week-U.S. sales of any new artist debut of 2014. It has topped the iTunes charts in 76 countries and, in five short months, has sold more than three million units worldwide.

As only Nickelodeon can, Kids' Choice Awards offers a front-row seat to stunts, slime and celebrities. This year's telecast will premiere across Nickelodeon’s networks (Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons) and stream live on Nick.com and the Nick App. Presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.

The 2015 Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards will roll out in international markets within hours of airing live in the United States, Canada and Australia, giving kids around the globe the opportunity to tune into their local Nickelodeon channel to enjoy the show. Voting for the 2015 KCAs will span six continents across 19 localized voting sites in addition to Twitter hashtag voting (#KCA) giving kids practically everywhere the chance to decide who takes home a coveted blimp.

Presenting sponsors of Nickelodeon's 28th Annual Kids' Choice Awards are Amazon Fire HD Kids Edition, General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch™, Gogurt® & Fruit Snacks, Hasbro DohVinci, and Walmart. Associate sponsors are Bounty®, Capri Sun, McDonald's®, Nintendo and Toyota.

Nickelodeon Honors Wilmington, Delaware's Imani Henry As March 2015 "HALO Effect" Recipient For Work As Youth Literacy Advocate

Original Nickelodeon USA Press Release via TV by the Numbers:

NICKELODEON HONORS WILMINGTON, DELAWARE'S IMANI HENRY AS ITS MARCH HALO EFFECT RECIPIENT FOR WORK AS YOUTH LITERACY ADVOCATE


NEW YORK – March 5, 2015 – Nickelodeon today announced Imani Henry of Wilmington, Del., as its March HALO Effect honoree. Selected for her work as a youth literacy advocate, Henry will be recognized in an on-air profile on TeenNick throughout the month of March and will be further highlighted on TeenNick.com. In addition, Nickelodeon's HALO Effect will award a $5,000 grant to Brandywine Valley Friends 100 Men Reading, a non-profit organization founded by Henry.

HALO Effect is a year-round initiative that recognizes one deserving teen every month for their work to help and lead others (HALO) in their communities. In its first year, the initiative awarded $50,000 in grants to 10 deserving young people across the country. Henry is the 14th HALO Effect recipient.

Thirteen-year-old Henry began Brandywine Valley Friends 100 Men Reading in 2010 after being inspired by her father and brothers, who played a profound role in helping her overcome her own reading delay. The organization was formed to promote reading and literacy development to young children in Delaware, utilizing male volunteers who serve as literacy mentors. The volunteers visit childcare centers, preschools and elementary schools, spending nearly 30 minutes reading a story to children while also encouraging them to read. Free books are also given to the children to help reinforce the importance of reading daily.

Since its inception, 100 Men Reading has reached over 20,000 children through school visits and book distributions. The program currently has 10 chapters across Delaware, Maryland, Alabama and Puerto Rico with over 2,000 volunteers.

Nickelodeon Renews Two Live-Action Hits "Bella and the Bulldogs" And "The Thundermans"

Original Nickelodeon Press Release via TV by the Numbers and The Futon Critic:

NICKELODEON RENEWS TWO LIVE-ACTION HITS "BELLA AND THE BULLDOGS" AND "THE THUNDERMANS"

Santa Monica, Calif., (March 4, 2015) – Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids, today announced it has renewed live-action hit comedies Bella and the Bulldogs for season two, and The Thundermans for a third season. The announcement was made by Russell Hicks, Nickelodeon's President of Content Development and Production.

Year-to-date, Bella and the Bulldogs is the number-one show on Nickelodeon with premieres averaging two million total viewers. Since its January launch, the show has reached more than 20M total viewers. Since its season two launch, The Thundermans has consistently ranked #1 in its time period with kids, averaging a 3.5/1.1M (K2-11) and 4.7/884K (K6-11).


Faced with much bigger challenges in season two, Bella and the Bulldogs team must push to overcome obstacles and work together to be the winning combination they once were. Bella (played by Brec Bassinger) will unite her original team, Troy (Coy Stewart), Sawyer (Jackie Radinsky) and Newt (Buddy Handleson), in an attempt to take them farther than than they’ve ever gone, all while keeping close ties with her two best friends from the cheer squad, Pepper (Haley Tju) and Sophie (Lilimar). Executive produced by Jeff Bushell, the show was created by Nickelodeon Writing Program alumni Gabriel Garza and Jonathan Butler, who also serve as co-executive producers.


In season three of The Thundermans, superhero twins Phoebe (Kira Kosarin) and Max (Jack Griffo) confront a new family dynamic that changes their lives forever and face being exposed after someone close to them learns their secret identities. The series continues to follow the opposite siblings as they navigate their way through school, friends and a family of extraordinary superheroes. The Thundermans is created and executive produced by Jed Spingarn and executive produced by David Hoge and Dan Cross.

“Both of these live action comedies have connected with our audiences and we are thrilled to add new seasons of both of them,” Hicks said. “We’re hearing from kids all the time about how much they admire Bella and her can-do spirit, and The Thundermans just continues to make kids laugh, which is great.”

Nickelodeon, now in its 35th year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does. The company includes television programming and production in the United States and around the world, plus consumer products, online, recreation, books and feature films.
