For our next installment of Celebrity Crushes, we’ve decided to feature two more awesome tween/teen stars who are totally cool right now! They’re both from Nickelodeon & thanks to their awesome singing/acting skills, have earned themselves HUGE fan followings! Read on.
The boys from Big Time Rush!
Who are they? Big Time Rush is a pop group created by Nickelodeon. The group is made of 4 real-life (and really cute) best friends: James Maslow, (20, as James Diamond), Carlos Pena Jr., (21, as Carlos Garcia), Kendall Schmidt, (20, as Kendall Knight), & Logan Henderson (21, as Logan Mitchell). They officially signed a record deal in 2009 & since then, they’ve had amazing success! Throughout 2010, Big Time Rush songs have hit consistently high on the Billboard Hot 100 & Billboard 200.
Now what? Thanks to the success from their musical career, the band inspired a TV series on Nickelodeon called Big Time Rush starring the boys themselves as the main characters! They play a group of hockey players form Minnesota, who receive an awesome opportunity to be the newest pop sensations - all while handling comical situations living in L.A. A show based on your real life? SO cool.
Does BTR have any celebrity crushes? According to an interview with BTR on Seventeen.com, James loves Emma Watson, while Logan likes Rachel McAdams (from The Notebook)! Their favorite *secret* chick flicks? The boys like Bring It On, The Titanic & How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days!
