She is known to many young people as Carly Shay from the TV show iCarly. (I’m not young but I love that show!) I know her as Summer Hathaway from the movie School of Rock. Her debut album “Sparks Fly” was released on 4/27/10 and debuted at number 8 on the Billboard charts. Not too shabby for a 16 year old.

Miranda Taylor Cosgrove was born on May 14, 1993 in Los Angeles, California. Her first television appearance was on the show Smallville. Shortly after that, she portrayed Summer Hathaway in the great movie School of Rock. I’ve watched that movie many times and she always impresses me. Her other main roles were as Megan Parker in the TV show Drake & Josh and, of course, Carly Shay in iCarly.

In addition to her acting credits, Miranda also sings. She is the one you hear on the iCarly theme song, Leave It All To Me. As mentioned earlier, she released her debut album in late April of 2010 and it debuted at number 8 on the Billboard charts.

Miranda also recently joined Hayden Panettiere and Vanessa Hudgens as a member of the Neutrogena family. She signed with Neutrogena on 2/12/10 as an ambassador for the skincare company.

MIRANDA COSGROVE TRIVIA

• Is an only child.
• Is left-handed.
• Her first audition was at age three. It landed her a soft-drink commercial.
• She began homeschooling during elementary school. She then started online school in 2006.
• Has crushed on Shia LaBeouf, Orlando Bloom, and Robert Pattinson.
• Took a 45 minute bad singing lesson in order to sing poorly in School of Rock. Memory, all alone in the moonlight….
• At 10 years old, was the youngest of the kids on School of Rock.
• Her favorite artists at one time were Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne, and Paramore.

Miranda has already accomplished a lot for anyone, but especially for a 16 year old. I hope she can continue her success while maintaining a nice, positive, and humble attitude.

Since I’m kind of sort of on vacation, I’m going to give you more of a showcase of hot shirtless guys instead of actually writing a blog. I’m in Disneyland right now watching over 40 middle school kids, so it’s not much of a vacation. Some of the actors from Glee were here last night. I guess that’s exciting. Jennette McCurdy from iCarly was here last year. She was cool to my students. I wonder who we’ll see next year. Anyway, check out these hot dudes.
