Detention’s a drag, isn’t it? No talking, no eating, no sleeping…no fun! But how do you make it fun? Get stuck in there with your two besties and make a plan to take down the queen bee of the school!
Actually – don’t. Being good tends to pay off, unless you’re in the new Nickelodeon movie School Gyrls – premiering Sunday, February 21!
The movie is based on the new girl group School Gyrls. It features three super-talented chicks: Mandy Rain, Jacque (pronounced “Jackie”) Rae Pyles and Monica Parales. And with such talented vocals from each, we just know you’ll love ‘em.
We managed to catch up with Jacque and Monica, and got them to spill on their past as well as the School Gyrls’ future!
Describe [your] favorite experience from filming the School Gyrls movie.
Jacque: I have a lot of great experiences from filming the movie. I would say probably the fact that I got to make such amazing friends, and being able to work with such amazing people [like] Mandy, Monica and Nick Cannon!
Monica: My favorite experience from filming was the whole process! Meeting great people and just working with people your age. We had soo much fun learning and memorizing dance routines, lyrics and lines.
Have you ever experienced detention in real life?
Jacque: I have experienced detention in real life, actually a couple times! Ha! Because of little things [like] not getting my work in on time, or dress code, but it was never anything serious like back talk or fighting or anything!
Monica: The only time I was in detention was when the whole class had it. That one time was because most of the students forged their parents’ signatures on their own Home Reading Clubs, which was like a log for each time you would read.
What’s your favorite thing to do with the other girls in your down time?
Jacque: My favorite thing to do with the gyrls is probably just chill out and Ustream with fans, or dance, or go shopping!
Monica: My favorite thing to do with the girls on my downtime is just chill, eat and talk with them about anything – and also shopping!
What’s your favorite song on your iPod right now? What about the most embarrassing?
Jacque: Well, I don’t really have a favorite song, but I would have to say my favorite album at the moment is We Are Young Money! As for an embarrassing song? I am not embarrassed of any of the songs on there!
Monica: My favorite song on my iPod right now is “Rude Boy” by Rihanna. The most embarrassing would be “It’s Raining Men.”
If you could collaborate musically with any artist right now, who would it be and why?
Jacque: If I could collab with any artists, I would say Young Money or Trey Songz! I think it would be amazing to have Young Money on a track because their rapping with our singing would just be dope! As for Trey Songz, he is my singer celeb crush!
Monica: Well, I’ve already had the chance to work with the most beautiful and talented Mariah Carey, which I am soo blessed for. If there was anyone else, I would say Alicia Keys. I love her music also.
Growing up, were there any girl groups you totally loved or look towards for inspiration?
Jacque: Um, well of course I looked up to the Spice Girls! I use[d] to watch their movie over and over and over. I think when it came out I knew all the lines of the movie word for word! And their tour bus?! My gosh I always wanted one! Hah, but I really looked up to Destiny’s Child and still do, to this day!
Monica: When I was growing up there were a looot of girl groups that I was into [like] the Spice Girls, Eden’s Crush, SWV, 702, Destiny’s Child and my favorite of all time – TLC.

The 39-year-old diva sent bloggers into a frenzy when she teased on the Oscars red carpet that she has “something special on the way.” Of course that means she’s preggers, right?
While Mariah Carey may not be pregnant YET, she and hubby Nick Cannon are definitely talking kids!
