  • Jennette McCurdy “Uncomfortable” In Minimal Makeup For “Between”

    Jennette McCurdy is definitely excited that her Netflix show, Between, has been picked up for another season.

    On Tuesday, Jennette McCurdy announced the good news via a Twitter post.

    Jennette McCurdy later said of the news, “I’m thrilled to be continuing on with a second season of Between. Working with Netflix, City, and the entire cast and crew has been such an enjoyable experience and I can’t wait for more.”

    Well, if Jennette McCurdy is preparing for another season, it’s a good thing she likes her role. And with that role comes a very different makeup routine than she had during her days on iCarly.

    Jennette McCurdy revealed that she wasn’t too happy with the makeup she had to wear as a kid on the Nickelodeon show.

    She said, “It’s funny, because growing up acting, I hated all the makeup they put on me — I was a tomboy and that foundation always felt so caked-on.”

    She added, “But for this character [on Between], they wanted my hair slicked back, so every day it was in a pony that wasn’t even brushed. We’re talking minimal. And then I had the grown-out bangs, which would flop about, and they became known as the ‘little seagull wings’ on set.”

    That being said, Jennette McCurdy admitted that she feels a little uncomfortable being in front of the camera without a mask of makeup.

    Jennette McCurdy said, “I find it easier to act when I feel comfortable with how I look with the makeup on. It’s such a vulnerable thing to have cameras in your face and a crew around watching you all day. Yeah, it can be uncomfortable, but I least I know my blemishes are covered. That’s a great feeling.”

    What do you think of Jennette McCurdy’s show, Between? Do you think she looks better in a more natural look or do you prefer her made-up face on her earlier shows?

  • Jennette McCurdy Sounds Off About Miley Cyrus

    Jennette McCurdy was in New York City last week, looking stylish and sophisticated as she made the talk show rounds–including The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. The former Sam & Cat star was so stylish that she was asked during one interview to weigh in on Miley Cyrus. Miley’s recent style–in Paper magazine–involves dyed public hair and not much else–at all.

    So what did the former Nickelodeon star have to say? Did she find fault with the former Hannah Montana star’s sense of style?

    “I applaud Miley [Cyrus] in a lot of ways. I think that…she seems like, you know I don’t know her personally, but I’ve met her at a few events and she’s always very kind, and she seems like she’s really happy with what she’s doing. And I think that’s amazing,” Jennette McCurdy said.

    Jennette McCurdy was in the news not so long ago about what many perceived as a big blowout with her longtime BFF Ariana Grande.

    As with many things in the media, McCurdy assured everyone that feud was blown way out of proportion.

    A former fan favorite in the hit show iCarly(in fact she chatted with Jimmy Fallon about an iCarly reunion), Jennette McCurdy currently stars in Between.

  • Jennette McCurdy Loses Good Girl Image Going from ‘Sam & Cat’ to ‘Between’

    Jennette McCurdy, star of Nickelodeon hits iCarly and Sam & Cat has given up her good girl role for a new show now filming in Toronto for Netflix and City. The Canadian survivalist thriller features Jennette McCurdy in a grown up role–one her Nickelodeon fans might not even recognize.

    Called Between, it will debut simultaneously on Netflix and City–the Canadian TV network that developed the one-hour drama.

    On Thursday, Jennette McCurdy chatted with The Hollywood Reporter about filming Between.

    “I’m going back home next week, and I’ve grown a lot,” she said.

    Believe is about a town under siege from a disease–unknown in nature–that has killed everyone, except for those aged 21 and under.

    “I’ve had this personal arc,” Jennette McCurdy said. “I come from the set to home, and I feel like I’ve emotionally released myself. It’s a way to get out emotions that you may put on the back burner and put aside to act a certain role to your fans.

    In the six-part TV drama, the young people–who are mostly high school students–must decide how to survive as the government quarantines the town.

    Singer Ariana Grande’s former costar and BFF isn’t sure she wants her friends and family members to watch her in this latest role.

    “In some ways, I don’t want them (friends and family) to watch. It’s very raw. And I’m sure, whether or not I want them to watch, they will watch the show,” she said.

    “I feel Believe is really perfect,” she adds. ‘A lot of the kids that watched iCarly and Sam & Cat are getting older. This fits the bill. Already my more intense fans are very excited and eagerly awaiting the series.”

    Jennette McCurdy struck a new phase in her independence while filming Believe.

    “When I found out I was shooting in Toronto, I was scared to be away from my fans and friends and community for so long,” she explains. “But I also felt excited to be alone and independent. It’s turned out to be more than I could have anticipated. I’ve felt that I’ve made some great friends in Toronto.”

    Between is the first Canadian production Netflix has ordered.

    You can see Jennette McCurdy in this new series beginning on May 21st.

    Jennette McCurdy to Star in ‘Between’ on Netflix, Feuds (?) With Ariana Grande

    Jennette McCurdy will soon star in a new drama on Netflix called Between. Fans can’t binge-watch the series, however, as there is a bit of a catch. The survivalist thriller will also be aired on Canada’s City network, as they have the first-window rights to the drama. This means City will air each episode first, and then it will be released to Netflix for airing.

    Between is about a town beset by a plague that kills everyone over the age of 21. Jennette McCurdy plays Wiley Day, a pregnant woman who survived the plague and has plans to give her baby up for adoption and leave Pretty Lake–the town in which the drama takes place.

    Jennette McCurdy is best known for her role as Sam Puckett on the hit Nickelodeon series Sam & Cat. In addition, she has had roles on Victorious, Zoey 101, True Jackson VP, Malcolm in the Middle, and Lincoln Heights. She also writes, produces, and stars in her own online show called What’s Next for Sarah?

    In other Jennette McCurdy news, she has made headlines recently for her supposed feud with Ariana Grande, with whom she starred on Sam & Cat. She insists that things got blown way out of proportion.

    “I just feel that, you know Ariana and I were and are extremely close and very like-minded in a lot of different ways and then, sorta as the show dissolved, everybody wanted to find some sort of hidden meaning in our relationship,” McCurdy said recently during an interview with E! News. “Some [people] like drama and I think we butted heads at times but in a very sisterly way. She knows me so well and I know her so well that I think it was unfortunate that things kind of got misconstrued.”

    Jennette McCurdy is likely very excited about the upcoming premiere of Between–on May 21st. Maybe Ariana Grande will show the world that she and Jennette McCurdy aren’t at odds by attending a celebration of the show’s premiere.
