Hello everyone,
I am very sad as I write this blog. I just found out that Paul Newman, the amazing actor and equally amazing person, has passed away. Mr. Newman was one of my mom’s favorite actors. She saw “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” 32 times. Paul Newman not only did incredible amounts of charity work, he also gave incredible performances in every single role we viewers were fortunate enough to see him portray.
If you haven’t seen or heard of Paul Newman, you really need to go to the movie rental store and pick up some of his movies. Also, go buy some of his dressings and/or sauces from the grocery store - they’re called Newman’s Own. He donated the money that his dressings made to charity, and I’m sure this tradition will be carried on. Support the extraordinary Paul Newman, everybody.

Thanks to my Frans (who keep me going in tough times!)
Hey everyone,
I wanted to take a minute to thank you all for being so supportive and encouraging through the years of my career. You do not realize how much the e-mails, notes, and letters mean to me and how much they have been a great source of lifting me and pushing me forward.
Last week, I had one of the very best days of my entire life. And then the next day, I found out something that was so hurtful it made me forget what was even so special about that perfect day just one day before. I am human like everybody else, and being an actor only makes you that much more sensitive. Honestly, it was hard to sleep because I was so sad. I pondered the correct way to overcome this hurt and many other past hurts without lowering my personal values to do something that might hurt others. I actually just started to think of all the faces of the kids who smile, or jump, or scream when I meet them…or when I go to hospitals and I see the precious little faces that reach out their weak arms to hug me….and the e-mails and letters that many of you have kindly sent me. And I thought: I will get up and I will push on because I have these great people to do it for. And I want to let you all know, that to honor you all, I wrote a song for you a couple months ago and I think it should be realeased within a couple of months from now. I hope when you hear it, you will hear the gratitude in the words.Sincerely, ~ Jennette :0)

Lauren Conrad fashion show / meeting my favorite musical artist!
Hey everyone!
So last Tuesday (as in the 14th of October) was incredible and a day I will never forget!
I woke up early and went into LA to work on some of my songs. I think they’re coming along very nicely. Wow, I sounded really proper in that last sentence there.
After working on my songs, I headed over to the Warren Tricomi salon in Santa Monica, which was really beautiful. Red Light PR sent me there. That was so nice of them! Following the salon visit, I attended Lauren Conrad’s lovely fashion show for her spring collection. You all know what a big Project Runway fan I am, so seeing this fashion show was pretty darn cool! The dress I wore to the 2008 KCAs was a Lauren Conrad piece and I really, really hope to wear something from her spring collection to the 2009 KCAs! Not only are her clothes very trendy, chic, and fashionable, but they are totally comfortable, flowy, and oh-so-soft!
Where was I? Oh yes, the fashion show. So I was lucky enough to be able to wear a shirt by Lauren Conrad to her fashion show…awesome! I wore Bishop of Seventh jeans (which I love!), Banana Republic shoes, and a Mark necklace, which raises awareness to dating abuse. I sat down in my seat, ready for the fashion show to start, when I looked across the way and saw none other than Mr. Gavin DeGraw himself! ANYONE who knows me knows how much I LOVE Gavin DeGraw…I listen to his music every day! I’ve listened to his music in the car, in my dressing room on set, in my bedroom at home, on the treadmill, on airplanes, in numerous other states, EVERYWHERE! Let’s put it this way: wherever I go, Gavin goes. I’ve seen every single one of his music videos and just about every little Gavin DeGraw-oriented video there is on Youtube! I know every one of his songs forward and backward because I’ve listened to each one at least 500 times…at least….no lies present.
SO GAVIN DEGRAW WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT EXACTLY ACROSS THE RUNWAY AND TWO SEATS OVER FROM MY SEAT!!!!! I promise you there was no spotlight on him, but to me there was…..and there was also a “Halelujah” chorus chanting from somewhere in the background. haha. I literally screamed, and then quickly felt bad for the well-dressed, fashion-forward, stern-looking man sitting beside me. I’ve never doubted my vision when seeing a famous person, but I suppose the fact that Gavin DeGraw is one of my idols caused me to second-guess myself. I asked my mom, “IS THAT GAVIN DEGRAW?!” (only with much more enthusiasm than I could possibly convey in writing) and my mom said “YES, JENNETTE! GO OVER THERE!” So, of course, I did. Despite the fact that the announcer person over the speakers had just asked everyone to take their seats, this was a moment I had dreamed of for several years, and I wasn’t going to let the speaker-person intervene! I ran - across the runway, I might add - to the other side. Gavin was sitting down, looking awesome (as always)!!! I said “OH MY GOODNESS I HONESTLY THINK I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN” and he said “Really? Why thank you.” I said “I love EVERY SINGLE ONE of your songs” and he said “Thank you” and I said “Your music is so special to me” and he said “Wow, that means a lot to me.” Then he STOOD UP and took my hand with both of his hands. I was expecting him to get down on one knee and propose any second…haha just joshin’ just joshin’. I wish….Anyways, he took my hand with both of his hands and said “What’s your name?” and I (probably stuttered) “Jennette”. He said, “Pleasure to meet you, Jennette. I’m Gavin.” I nearly fainted. haha.
I asked Gavin for a picture and he said “Certainly, certainly. Come on in real close here, Missy.” My mom snapped the picture (which I look at every day, of course)! Afterwards, I talked to him a little bit more and then asked if I could give him a hug! He said “Well sure!” so I hugged him and I can honestly say that a hug has never felt so great! haha! I said “Really, it was SO nice meeting you” and he said “Pleasure to meet you, pleasure to meet you” and sort of bowed his head in a perfect way I’m sure only Gavin DeGraw is capable of! I (sadly) made my way back to my seat across the way from Gavin and noticed my heart was pounding ridiculously fast and my leg was kinda twitching. I hoped Mr. well-dressed, fashion-forward, stern-looking man sitting next to me didn’t notice. haha. But honestly, I wouldn’t have cared if he did notice, cuz I JUST MET GAVIN DEGRAW, my favorite musical artist! Nothing could rain on my parade after that! And let me tell you all, Mr. DeGraw could not have been any nicer. He is such a true gentleman, I could just tell…he’s really mild-mannered, calm, and so so so sincere. He was sweet, gentle, kind, patient, humble, and genuine to me. As much as I had dreamed of meeting Gavin DeGraw in the past, I never would’ve dreamt he’d be that much of a dream-come-true!
Okay, well I just wrote 877 words before this sentence, and about 800 of them were on/about Gavin DeGraw. I’m sure you’ve had enough of my ramblings, so I’m gonna go now. But thanks for listening! I figured my frans would be the perfect people to tell since they know and understand me so well! Whoa, I just rhymed…with the “tell” and the “well”…I promised that was unintentional. hahaha.
Bye!~ Jennette :0)

Hi from Set! / My New Monday Blogging Routine / Thanks Kristian!
Hey everyone,
I’m on set today, just doing schoolwork in my dressing room and waiting for the table read at 11:00am. It’s a fun episode this week. Reed Alexander, Noah Munck, and Aria Wallace are all guest starring! How cool is that?!
Yesterday, I went to a Nickelodeon Big Green Help shoot! That was loads of fun! I hope the TV spots we shot and Nickelodeon’s campaign in general will encourage kids - and adults - to get out there and make the world a better, greener place! And by greener, I don’t mean pouring Nickelodeon slime everywhere and calling it a day haha… although that is quite a blast.I mean making our environment better, stronger, and healthier!
So last Friday (as in 3 days ago), I recorded a song that I really, really love and I think (and hope!) that you will all love, too. The lyrics are really great and the melody is extremely catchy. Best of all, the song is drawn from a personal experience that I think you will all be able to really relate to!
Oh, before I go learn more about subordinate clauses and write some hefty essays (haha), I wanted to let you guys know that I’ll be writing a blog entry (or at least I’ll attempt to) every Monday. That way, you’ll know when to come check the website for new blogs so you don’t keep checking to find nothin’!

10 facts about iGo to Japan that's Weird :0)
Hey guys!
Okay, so I know I’m a little late, but I want to thank you all SO MUCH for making the first ever iCarly TV movie, iGo to Japan, the huge success that it was! Really…thanks for watching. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed filming it. Just to be random, I thought I’d give you 10 little facts you probably don’t know about iGo to Japan…
1) One night, it was raining so hard outside that we had to stop shooting for a few hours to wait until the rain subsided a little bit. In those hours, we all sat around and sang songs that had the word ‘rain’ in them!
2) Harry Shum Jr. (Yuki) is an AMAZING hip hop dancer! He and I would dance in the hair and makeup room every morning before we started working!
3) The mud we got smothered in was made up of the same stuff that slime is made out of except it’s obviously colored brown instead of green. AHHH so cool!
4) It took 3 weeks to film iGo to Japan.
5) Each member of Good Charlotte was very kind and easy to talk to!
6) My favorite set from iGo to Japan was the Japanese hotel lobby… it was humungous and stunning!
7) Since it was rainy and cold when we had to shoot our exterior scenes, everyone drank hot cocoa and ate chicken noodle soup (homemade by our incredible craft service cook, Reina!).
8 ) It was so windy that some of the set equipment blew down!!
9) We were so caked full of mud that we had to shower off before we could even go into our cars to go home.
10) The possum I had to hold pooped on my arm! hahaha.
,Talk to ya Later
