  • Drake Bell and Josh Peck: “Grandfathered” to Provide Setting for “Drake & Josh” Reunion

    Drake Bell and Josh Peck–stars of the Nickelodeon show from the early 2000s, Drake & Josh, will soon be reuniting on the small screen.

    Josh Peck, who now stars alongside John Stamos in Grandfathered, will soon realize the dream of a Drake & Josh reunion right on the set of his current show.

    Drake & Josh ended nine years ago. Drake Bell and Josh Peck played mischievous stepbrothers who were always getting in trouble for something.

    In the so-called Drake & Josh reunion, Drake Bell will play the role of a tech investor to whom Gerald (Josh Peck) and Vanessa (Christina Milian) will pitch their new app.

    In case you haven’t already noticed–and you weren’t a huge Drake & Josh fan–the two actors were known for the line, “Hug me, brotha.”

    The Grandfathered episode featuring both Drake Bell and Josh Peck will air Tuesday, February 9, at 8:30 p.m. on Fox.

  • Drake and Josh: Drake Bell Files For Bankruptcy

    Drake and Josh alum Drake Bell is facing financial woes. According to TMZ, the former Nickelodeon star has filed for bankruptcy. The court documents state that Bell is approximately $581,000 in debt.

    The 27-year-old actor claims to only make $2,820 a month. However, he reportedly has monthly expenses amounting to more than $18,771. Bell is also upside down on his mortgage. His home is reportedly valued at $1.575 million, but he owes an estimated $1.597 million.

    He also revealed the dramatic drop in his income from 2012 to 2013. In 2012, Bell reportedly earned $408,000. However, he only made a meager $14,099 in 2013. Then, to add insult to injury, the publication reports that Bell allegedly owes an undisclosed amount in unpaid taxes.

    It’s definitely no secret that Bell’s career suffered a slight decline after Nickelodeon announced the cancellation of Drake and Josh. The critically acclaimed series, which Bell co-starred on, ran for four seasons with 60 episodes from January 11, 2004 to December 5, 2008.

    While Bell has a number of other notable credits, the majority of his most recent work consists of voiceover projects for Marvel animated television series like Ultimate Spider Man, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel, Avengers Assemble, and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. He’s also turned his focus toward his music career. Just last month, Bell released “Bitchcraft,” which is the first single from his upcoming album.

    According to US Weekly, the unfortunate news of Bell’s finances comes shortly after his crass indignation toward troubled pop singer Justin Bieber. Bell took to Twitter with a message directed to Bieber sharing his disdain of the singer’s notorious run-in with the law over the infamous egging incident.

    On Jan. 16, he tweeted, “@justinbieber instead of egging speeding around your neighborhood and defacing property like a little s–t you should practice your guitar!!” However, the tweet was deleted shortly after it was posted.

  • Drake Bell Of Nickelodeon Fame Files For Bankruptcy

    Former Nickelodeon child star Drake Bell is in some financial trouble.

    The former Drake & Josh star recently filed for bankruptcy, claiming that he’s $581,000 in debt. According to TMZ, Bell makes $2,820 a month, but his expenses run up to $18,771 a month. He is also listing the value of his house at $1.575 million, but it seems he owes $1.597 million. Bell also had a significant drop in his yearly income from 2012 to 2013. While he says he made $408,000 in 2012, he only made $14,099 in 2013.

    It seems many Justin Bieber fans are happy with this turn of events in Bell’s life. Recently Bell spent some time on Twitter bashing Bieber for his recent troubles with the law and then continued to just bash him in general.

    Two tweets he wrote on January 16 about Bieber after the egging incident have since been deleted, but thanks to Gossip Cop who published them in time, we know they said, “Hey @justinbieber how much are you paying Lil Za to take the coke wrap for ya? Be a man and take responsibility. Learn to be an ADULT!” Bell then tweeted, “@justinbieber instead of egging speeding around your neighborhood and defacing property like a little s–t you should practice your guitar!!”

    The only one from that day he didn’t deem necessary to delete still wasn’t very nice.

    So of course, Beliebers think this is some sort of karmic retribution. You don’t mess with the Biebs man.

    Most recently Bell has been focusing on his music career, releasing the single “Bitchcraft.” He has also been doing voices for different characters in animated work.
