"Our 2009 special, Webstars: The Kids Behind the Hits, looked at kids seeking fame online," says Ellerbee. "Now, just a few years later, the Internet has morphed into the world's biggest stage."

"If I hadn't posted those videos, I still would've been okay," says Memphis, Tenn. native Flores Jr. "But this made me see my dreams."

15-year-old singer Dwayne Cooke of Camden, N.J. told his story through a song that went viral internationally "It's just been amazing, shocking, spectacular," he says. Cooke's videos have garnered over a million views.

"If I hadn't done the blog and posted videos…I probably would just be cooking at home and I wouldn't have the cookbooks and the radio show," says 13-year-old chef Eliana de Las Casas of New Orleans, La.

13-year-old sisters Brooklyn and Bailey of Dallas, Texas, host the Brooklyn and Bailey web series, where they share fashion ideas, DIY projects and other lifestyle tips with nearly 300,000 weekly viewers. "I just imagine this going on forever," says Brooklyn. "...us just doing the same thing 'til we're old and wrinkly."

Nickelodeon Greenlights Second Season Of "Rabbids Invasion"; To Premiere In Mid-2014

Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids and families, has announced in the following press release, from TV by the Numbers, the exciting Nick News that Nickelodeon has ordered a second season of the networks hit CGI-animated series "Rabbids Invasion", continuing the wacky adventures of the "Raving Rabbids"! "Rabbids Invasion" season two will be comprised on 26 half-hour episodes (26x30').


The announcement was made today, Tuesday 17th December 2013, by Russell Hicks, President of Content Development and Production, Nickelodeon. The series, based on Ubisoft's wildly popular "Raving Rabbids" video game franchise, follows a mysterious breed of creatures known as Rabbids who often create mayhem and chaos whilst exploring the human world. While still continuing to discover new things, places, animals and creatures on Earth, the second season storyline will introduce a recurring goal for the Rabbids – get to the moon! New episodes from the season two will wreak havoc beginning mid-2014.

For the Rabbids, everything is a source of wonder and amusement, and these indestructible and uncontrollable creatures have absolutely no respect for the social rules that govern society. There are no laws, no rules of the road. They are all about having fun and their only language is a crazy-sounding "Bwaaaaaah!"

Viewers can log on to Nick.com/rabbids for new content, games and other fun extras including "Rabbids Sing the Classics", where the wacky creatures sing their rendition of the popular song "Heart and Soul", "Can You Find the Rabbid?", an unexpected spotting game, and "The Right Way vs. The Rabbid Way", where the Rabbids show fans their versions of completing tasks.

Created and produced by Ubisoft Motion Pictures, this new series brings to television the hysterical physical comedy that is the hallmark of the wildly successful Rabbids video games. Created in 2006, the wacky, mischievous Rabbids have become a global sensation with over 14 million video games sold worldwide and hundreds of licensed products that feature the Rabbids characters. Viral videos starring the Rabbids have attracted more than 72 million views on YouTube. The Rabbids phenomenon currently extends across multiple genres including parodies, videos, illustrations and consumer products. The television series will also generate a wide range of opportunity for Ubisoft, with a string of partnerships for every major category including apparel, accessories, toys, back-to-school, a Rabbids ride in a theme park in France (Futuroscope) and more.

"Rabbids: Invasion" is also currently rolling out internationally, debuting on Nickelodeon channels globally, and is due to premiere on NickToons UK and Ireland in February 2014.
