School Gyrls Premieres on Nick
Friday, February 26th, 2010Nick’s directorial debut “School Gyrls” premiered on Sunday February 21st on Nickelodeon. The internet was all atwitter with talk about the one hour musical comedy (with a dash of drama).
School Gyrls even reached trending topic status on Twitter. The songs were a blend of pop/r&b/ peppy fun. The dancing definitely wasn’t High School Musical but far more cooler. Soulja Boy, Justin Bieber, Kristinia DeBarge and more made cameos. Even Nick joined the fun making a “special” appearance. (more…)
Popping Up: School Gyrls
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
If you caught Nickelodeon’s mini-movie School Gyrls on Sunday, then you got a proper glimpse of the teenage pop tart trio who were front and center in the Nick Cannon-directed feature. (Mariah’s husband co-wrote and exec-produced, as well.) And rest assured, these young women plan to keep on earning plenty of extra credit once the final bell rings in their movie. In addition to School Gyrls’ dance-jam single “Something Like A Party” (on iTunes now), there is a full album from Island Def Jam on the way, as well as both an Archie Comics series and a set of teen novels based on the group.
After the jump: Jacque, Mandy and Monica give us the low-down on Justin Bieber—who made a cameo in School Gyrls—as well as their upcoming album.
First of all, let’s meet the girls behind School Gyrls:
MANDY MOSELEY (aka Mandy Rain): After a chance meeting with Justin Timberlake backstage at an N Sync conert, Mandy (then age seven) and her family moved to Los Angeles, where she was enrolled in jazz and hip hop dance classes. Nick Cannon first spotted Mandy during the filming of the 2007 Nickelodeon Series Star Camp. And as for her nickname Mandy Rain, Moseley tells Idolator, “Nick gave it to me when I was very young. I was in Star Camp and he was giving us all names and I told him my mom almost named me Rain. So he said, ‘Mandy Rain—that’s fresh!’”
MONICA PARALES (aka Mo Money): Trained in music and dance, the 17-year-old California native was spotted by an agent when she was nine. She soon began dancing with the Team Millennia Juniors from the Team Millennia dance studio, which landed her work with Missy Elliott, Eminem and Mase.
Here’s Monica dancing with the Team Millennia Juniors in 2009:
JACQUE PYLES (aka Jacque Nimble): Fifteen-year-old Jacque began training in jazz and ballet at the age of five before moving on to hip hop dance classes. With acting and dancing on her mind as a career path, Jacque admits she never thought of pursuing singing until she joined School Gyrls. “Since I’ve been in the group, I think I am a lot more comfortable when I have to sing,” she says. “I have (more…)

The School Gyrls: Up Close and Personal!
Monday, February 15th, 2010
You’ve probably seen them on magazine covers and TV spots. Showman supreme Nick Cannon, who is now chairman of the TeenNick network, put together three talented teen girls and has directed them in a spunky, fresh and dance club worthy TV movie called “School Gyrls”, a musical set in an all girls’ school (don’t worry, the boys’ school next door shares the quad).
Bambi, the meangirl diva, is out to get our heroines and humungous hall monitor Daisy keeps them in line….sorta. The hottie to land is adorable quarterback, budding musician Colin and the game is on to best Bambi and her meangirl crew at the TeenIsland stunt party.
Catch the “School Gyrls” TV movie on TeenNick on February 21st followed by Nick Cannon’s cool pic Drumline. The gyrls’ song “Something Like a Party” is all over the net and their first album “School Gyrls” will hit stores and be online on March 23rd on the Def Jam label.
We are with the gyrls now at Nick’s NCredible production offices in Studio City, California. The 15 and 16-year old triple threats (sing, dance, act) are 
Jacque Pyles (character is Jacque Nimble), Monica Parales (Mo-Money/Monica) and Mandy Moseley (Mandy Rain) and they are pint-sized pistols full of energy and charm. We had a great gurl-chat!
What’s it like to be directed by hot Nick Cannon? How fun was it to hang out with gueststars Justin Bieber, Soulja Boy and many more? How do the girls handle haters? Who are their celeb crushes and who would they kill to share a stage with some day? We’ve got all the inside answers…
Q: After you all got the parts, did you meet to hang out to bond and get to know each other?
Jacque: When I first met (the other girls) I had already known of them. I met Monica at a Macy’s Passport (fashion extravaganza) before I auditioned for “The School Gyrls” and I’d seen Mandy at Millennium Dance Complex. So, when we got together it was kind of like we knew of each other. First time we actually hung out was at the studio when we recorded a song.
I auditioned on a Friday and Sunday is when we met at Nick Cannon’s house. We got to meet his wife Mariah. I thought it was a call-back but he was telling us all about what the School Gyrls were gonna do; ‘We’re gonna do a movie and by this time next year you girls won’t even be able to go to the mall’. That’s when we learned about what would happen.
Q: Pretty awesome being at Nick’s and also meeting Mariah! How was working with Nick Cannon as your director? Was he strict or fun or both? (more…)
Nick Cannon rocks The Underground
Sunday, February 14th, 2010It might not have made sense to some people when Nick Cannon added New York morning radio host to his résumé last month — the actor/comedian/rapper/television producer/“America’s Got Talent” host/Mariah Carey-husband seems to have enough slashes to his name — but it makes perfect sense to the 29-year-old entrepreneur.
“It’s a media I’ve always admired,” said Cannon, who sported a Sinatra-like fedora, tie and vest to his deejay appearance at The Underground (56 W. Illinois St.) Saturday. “And I get up early anyway — I might as well do work. I don’t ever sleep.”
Besides his new gig with 92.3 NOW (WXRK-FM) in New York, Cannon, in town for Carey’s two shows at the Chicago Theatre, is promoting RydazNrtist, an R&B group signed to his Ncredible Entertainment label. He also wrote and directed “School Gyrls,” a “High School Musical”-esque film which premieres Feb. 21 on Nickelodeon.
When asked about his next film role, Cannon said, “It’s a musical – that’s all I can say about that.” The “Drumline” star claimed he’s a little more careful when picking movie roles these days because he doesn’t want to make the same mistakes he made in the past.
“Before I was doing movies for money,” Cannon said. “I just wanted to get paid and pay my parents bills. The reason I do movies now is for the love of it.”
As for the follow-up to his 2003 self-titled debut rap album, which featured the underrated “Gigolo,” Cannon said nothing is in the works.
Still, he did admit to writing a few rap songs about Carey’s nemesis, Eminem, who has taken numerous swipes at Mrs. Nick Cannon.
“I wrote a bunch of dis records but never put them out,” said Cannon before jokingly bragging, “I killed him.”

Prep School Musical
Sunday, February 14th, 2010Now that he’s TeenNick’s new chairman, Nick Cannon is calling the shots. First order of biz? His directorial debut—a peppy,pop-filled TV-movie about a girl group (which he also produces) of prep-school spitfires. We dialed up the multihyphenate impresario to discuss his many gigs…and, of course, the missus.
So how do you like being an exec? I’m loving it. I’m taking this network to many different levels. ow that I can get it out there, more people [finding] it. It’s really cool.
Where did the idea for this movie come from? From writing the School Gyrls album. We were thinking of video concepts for the song “Dentention,” and I thought there was something movielike about the song. Then I said, “Yo, why don’t we make one of those teen movies?”
You cast Justin Bieber, Soulja Boy and Kristina DeBarge in Gyrls…but not wife Mariah Carey? You know, she’s all thrugh it! Mariah actually helped me write the script…and wrote a couple of the songs. If you listen closely, she also sings backup in the last song.
And how is married life? it’s amazing, I wake up everyday and think, “OK, the dream is gonna end at some point.” [Laughs] We’re also developing a lot of stuff together, mostly for MTV. Children’s books, things like that.
Developing anything…lullaby related? We will get to that as soon as everything calms down. But trust me, it is in the forefront of our minds!
