May 24, 2011 Nickelodeon orders up third season of hit show ‘Big Time Rush’
Nickelodeon has ordered a third season of “Big Time Rush,” its popular series about a created-for-TV band. Think “The Monkees” – just with actors who can really sing.
The network has picked up another 20 episodes of the show, which just completed production on the second season. Production on the new episodes will begin in January, perhaps after a TV movie, and air sometime during the first quarter of next year.
“It’s sad to end production, but we got the great news about the third season,” says cast member Carlos Pena. “Big Time Rush” was created by Nickelodeon and Sony as a series about a group of young men who also could become a hit band. Casting took a year and a half to find the right mix, says Marjorie Cohn, president of original programming at Nickelodeon.
When the show launched, it generated the highest numbers ever for a live-action series launch on Nickelodeon. The current season is the No. 1 live-action series with kids age 2 to 11. It’s been a fast rise for the series by any measure. In fact, Pena says there are days when he still can’t believe what’s happened.
“Every single day I drive through the Paramount arches,” he says of the studio where the show is shot, “I’m like, man, this is my life.” And it’s Nickelodeon and Sony’s life, too. “It’s an important part of our brand,” says Cohn. “We want to be every place kids are. Kids love music, and that means having not just a show that exists on air, but exists in various platforms.”

April 3, 2011 Big Time Rush Performs “Boyfriend” at the 2011 Kid’s Choice Awards
Nickelodeon’s very own boy band, Big Time Rush — who star in the hit show of the same name — and Snoop Dogg perform their hit song, ‘Boyfriend‘ at the Kids’ Choice Awards Saturday night.
Just before hitting the stage, ‘American Idol‘ judge Randy Jackson introduces the quartet stating, “These next four guys have all kinds of skills, and I know what I’m talking about because their album just went gold!”
It’s clear real-life best friends Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena, Jr. and Logan Henderson know how to win a girl’s heart — telling all their fans that they will be that boyfriend, if given the chance. And they do just that in their performance, serenading all the tweens in the audience and busting out synchronized dance moves — while group of girl dancers follow suit.
Snoop Dogg, who’s featured on the song, appears during the bridge rapping, “You need a boyfriend / And I can be that / Holler at me / And let me reach out to you / It’s going to be us ’til the end / Please believe that,” from his signature bedazzled (yet still street credded) mic. The best part? Just as the quartet are singing the last line, “All I want to be is your…” Snoop gets doused with gallons of green slime!

April 3, 2011 Big Time Rush Helped Snoop Dogg get Slimed!
While Big Time Rush failed to win at the Kids’ Choice Awards, the group succeeded in helping Snoop Dogg get slimed for the first time. During a performance of the group’s song “Boyfriend,” the rapper surprised the audience in the middle of the song. But the surprise was on Snoop when he got hit with a barrage of green goo at the end of the number.
Miley Cyrus, Big Time Rush and Bieber lead Kids’ Choice Awards nominations.
Third-time host Jack Black opened Saturday’s show with his own rendition of “I Gotta Feeling” before being joined on stage by the night’s Favorite Music Group winner Black Eyes Peas. Lead singer Fergie’s husband, Josh Duhamel, walked away with an award himself — “Arm Fart Hall of Famer.”
Among the other celebs who were slimed: Jason Segel, Modern Family’s Rico Rodriguez, Russell Brand and Jim Carrey. Justin Timberlake escaped the goo after being presented with the Big Help Award for his charity efforts, specifically the work he does with Shriners Hospital for Children.

April 2, 2011 Tanya Chisholm Chats about the BTR Boys and the KCAs
Big Time Rush, a comedy about a group of Minnesota hockey players who head to LA to fufill their dreams of making it in the music biz, is easily one of the hottest show’s on Nickelodeon. Celebuzz sat down for an exclusive interview with one of its stars! Tanya Chisholm plays level-headed assistant Kelly Wainwright, who is the right hand woman to Rocque Record exec Gustavo Rocque. Her main job seems to be getting the guys — played by James Maslow, Kendall Schmidt, Carlos Pena and Logan Henderson – out of (hilarious) binds. We asked the actress about everything from tonight’s Kids’ Choice Awards to her fave BTR song! See what else Tanya had to say after the jump: Are you going to the kid’s choice awards this weekend?
Ya, I am so excited! Who are you excited to see?
Well, obviously I am excited to see Big Time Rush perform. Of course, I see them perform all the time, but this is different with all the pyro technics. I am also very excited to see Black Eyed Peas. You never know who will be there, so I’m just excited for the surprises. Last year, I was on the carpet and people kept screaming, Tyra, Tyra and I figured people just got my name wrong but then I turned around and Tyra Banks was right next to me and it all made sense. Yea, no one was rooting for me.
Can you tell us about the audition process and how you came to be on the show?
Well, the audition process was pretty chill because originally the character of Kelly was just going to be a recurring one — which means I didn’t have to take all the steps that a real audition for a starring role would have to take. I only had two auditions, so it was a lot less of a pressure situation. It was cool. It was one scene with Gustavo, the guy who plays my boss, but it was the perfect scene that sums up Kelly because he’s screaming at her and she’s simply saying, ‘fine I will quit’ but then he says, ‘no, no!’ … It was a quick scene, but everything in it sums up our relationship so it was cool. It is always cool to audition for Nick because you have license to be as wacky and funny as you want, so it was a fun process. What’s the vibe like on set? Do the guys play lots of jokes?
Oh my gosh, it’s a constant joke fest! All the guys are hilarious, no one is serious. Everyone plays practical jokes on one another! We get yelled at a lot. [Laughs] What ways are you similar to your character, Kelly the VP of Roque Records?
I would say that… Kelly is very responsible and I would say that I am too. She is the coordinator and I am very much like that too. I make lists, and make sure that the things I need to do get done. So, in the organizational sense, we are similar. But she also has a wacky streak too and I definitely do too. The way Kelly dresses, I really like it, it’s a lot more office friendly than I would usually wear. The wardrobe department had me wearing outfits that were made for older people but I said, no, Kelly is 24 and works at a record company so she needs to dress her age. How are you different from her?
Well, I’m not running a company on my own and also I think I am a little less “matter of fact.” There are moments when Kelly joins the boys in their pranks but it doesn’t happen very often, she’s more serious. For me though, I would more likely be the one messing around. What’s your favorite episode of Big Time Rush?
Oh, that’s such a hard question! There are episodes I like as a whole, but then there are episodes with scenes in which I really had fun acting in. So it’s hard to say, but I really like the one that just came out, Big Time Reality TV show – I thought that that one was just such a funny concept and so modern, it’s happening now, so I thought that was just cool and funny. I also liked Big Time Fever where the boys get Hollywood Fever and James is addicted to spray tanning, it’s so funny! To this day in my phone James is called “Orange James.” What’s your favorite Big Time Rush song?
Oh my gosh, okay, I really like “Worldwide.” I cannot pick one! I also like “Boyfriend,” but that one grew on me because I didn’t like that one as much at first … it might be the one their singing at the KCA’s but I’m not sure. I love listening to “Big May” when I am getting ready to go out. I like it all, but I think those are my three favorites. It’s so hard to choose because each song has a different part where I think, ‘Oh James sounds so good’ in that part, and that is my favorite part for him! It’s cool when you know the people who are singing the songs! You’ve had some cool guest stars like Russell Brand and Snoop Dogg; what guest stars would you love to have on the show?
I would definitely have to go with David Cross – he played Tobius on Arrested Development. And yea, we already had Ed Bagley Jr., who is also on Arrested Development. That is my favorite show, so everyone on that show could guest star! Michael Sarah… but Tobius is my favorite character. But oh man, I would love to have Snoop Dogg on the show again! What was it like working with Snoop Dogg?
He was so nice! I didn’t expect him to be a jerk or anything, but he was so personable and he brought a camera to set because his daughter is a big fan of the show. I was like, ‘can I take a picture with you’ and he was like, ‘yeah, but only if you take a picture with me’ It was really cool. And then he did a piece in the Boy’s “Boyfriend” song … that wasn’t really planned so that was pretty cool. In between takes, Snoop would be rapping and one of the boys would be playing the drums and another would play another instrument — because the boys are all classically trained. It was pretty cool! I would love it if Snoop Dogg came back. What was Russell Brand like?
To be honest, that episode — it’s different the way that they schedule things — he wasn’t really part of my story line, so I only got to film with him on the very last day of shooting. I only really got to meet him, I never really got to work with him, but everyone else said he was really cool and I thought he would be because he is hilarious. I would love to work with him again because I am actually a big fan of his comedic work. What other Nickelodeon show would you want to do a cross-over with?
Hm, I don’t know! I guess the easy thing would be iCarly but I’m not sure. I don’t know, it would be cool but … maybe something on a different network! I always thought it would be funny if we did a Star Wars themed Big Time Rush or Big Time Babies – where all of us are the baby versions of ourselves. If you had to use one word to describe each of the guys of Big Time Rush what would it be?
Kendall — Cool, James — Pretty, Carlos — Unpredictable, Logan — Hilarious. Don’t miss Big Time Rush perform at the Kids’ Choice Awards airing on Nickelodeon tonight, April 2!
Ya, I am so excited! Who are you excited to see?

Big Time Rush, the stars of the Nickelodeon hit comedy series of the same name, will take center stage for a headline performance of their new single, “Boyfriend,” live at this year’s 2011 Kids’ Choice Awards.
Big Time Rush has been nominated in the Favorite Music Group category while “Big Time Rush,” the series, is a contender for Favorite TV Show. The 2011 Kids’ Choice Awards will air live from the Galen Center at USC in Los Angeles on Nickelodeon Saturday, April 2, at 8:00 p.m. (ET/Tape delayed for West Coast) and a new episode of the series “Big Time Girl Group” will premiere Saturday, April 9 at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
Big Time Rush’s first official radio single, “Boyfriend,” made its Top 40 chart debut this week. MTV has added the group’s video for the track to its on-air rotation which will begin on Monday, March 28. The clip can also be seen on MTV Hits, TeenNick and Nick. The “Boyfriend” video has drawn more than three million online views while Big Time Rush clips on YouTube have drawn more than 60 million views to-date.
B.T.R., the band’s debut album, was released in October 2010, rocketing to #1 on the Top Soundtracks and Top Kids albums charts while peaking at #3 on the Billboard 200. With more than 400,000 albums and nearly 2 million combined digital tracks sold so far, B.T.R. has remained in the top 100 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart since its release.
Big Time Rush — Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan — were the subjects of a Parade Magazine Q&A feature that hit stands March 27. The group also sat down for an interview with Ryan Seacrest airing March 29. Big Time Rush has been showcased in online features with EW.com, Yahoo! Music, AOL Music, CosmoGirl, Seventeen and others. The group is active on both Twitter and Facebook, where they’ve garnered well over a million fans.
B.T.R. consists of original songs from the hit Nickelodeon series “Big Time Rush,” including the hit “City Is Ours.” For their debut album, Big Time Rush teamed up with some of today’s top producers and writers including Kevin Rudolf (Leona Lewis, Lil Wayne), Claude Kelly (Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears), S*A*M and Sluggo (Boys Like Girls, We The Kings, Gym Class Heroes) and OFM (Jay Sean).
Big Time Rush, produced in partnership with Sony Music, had the highest-rated and most-watched live-action series premiere with kids, tweens and total viewers (6.8 million) in the history of Nickelodeon. Created by Scott Fellows (Ned’s DeClassified School Survival Guide), Big Time Rush, follows four best friends from Minnesota—Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan—as they trade in their hockey sticks and parkas for a chance at music superstardom in Los Angeles. With a few misadventures along the way, the boys quickly find out that life in Hollywood is not all about hanging at the pool and attending parties. After proving to themselves and their record label that they are serious about their musical career, Big Time Rush are now ready for the next phase of their personal and professional lives. Between juggling the demands of their newfound fame, romantic relationships, finding their own personal musical style and homework the group learns that success comes with hard work and dedication – and the support of one another.

March 17, 2011 Big Time Rush Singer James Admits Crush
Big Time Rush’s James Maslow has a crush on Emma Watson.
The singer with the rising boy band was impressed with the English girls he met on a visit to the country, and admitted he’s been intrigued by it since he saw Emma play Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ film franchise.
He told BANG Showbiz: “British girls are cute, the accent really helps. We had a couple of our fans at the airport and so I tweeted that our British fans were cute, and straight away I got like 6,000 tweets back from the states like, ‘oh – so we’re not cute?’ I was like, no, no, no that’s not what I was saying! But I admit, my crush ever since I saw the first ‘Harry Potter’ movie has been Emma Watson. Especially with her short hair, everything I hear about her is so good.”
His bandmate, Kendall Schmidt, said although they’ve had their eyes on some girls, they’ve not thought up any good introductory lines to use on them yet. He said: “We’re not very big on pick up lines, I like to just say ‘hi’. If I see a girl I like in a bar I’ll just go up and ask her name, I like it when they ask your name first though!”
Big Time Rush’s debut single ‘Boyfriend’, featuring Snoop Dogg, is out now, and the band play their debut UK show on gig on April 19 at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in London.

March 16, 2011 Andrea’s Austin Experience
I traveled to Austin this past weekend to meet up with friends and see Big Time Rush’s first full concert set. Let me just say that the weekend provided lots of laughs, OMG moments, and a very memorable experience. My friends and I met the guys on Saturday. They are the most genuine, sweet, and caring people you will ever meet.
The concert was on Sunday and all of you who are going to see them in the near future are in for a treat! I know it may be sappy to say this, but they’ve grown so much since their first live performance and I’m so proud of them. It was approximately an hour long set.
Big Time Rush: Thank you for everything you allowed me to do this weekend. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have met the friends that I visited and this weekend wouldn’t have happened. Thank you for being so kind to us on Saturday. You don’t have to talk to us and take pictures, but you choose to and that means everything in the world to us. Thank you for all the work you put into this for the fans. We love you so much and truly appreciate you guys always giving 110%. I hope that one day we can return the favor. The concert was amazing and I was sad to see it end. I hope to be able to catch another show sometime soon.

March 15, 2011 Big Time Rush meet Pixie Lott
When Big Time Rush took a trip to London, they met British popstar Pixie Lott! She is a well known popstar in the UK with 2 No.1 hits, ‘Mama Do’ and ‘Boys and Girls’. She also appeared in the movie ‘Fred’ playing the role of Judy. She might be working in BTR in the future. Kendall tweeted: “Can’t wait to work with her”. Let’s hope they do!
March 15, 2011 The “Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume One” DVD Set is Available on March 29, 2011
The Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume One DVD set offers 11 of your favorite Big Time Rush episodes as well as fun special features that you will leave you wanting more! The Big Time Break Trivia feature throws bits of information at you throughout the whole episode and the Big Time Rush Photo Flipbook will become your favorite thing to watch after supper.
Along with Big Time Rush instrumentals and dreamy pictures of each of the boys, the Big Time Rush Photo Flipbook takes you through what Kendall, James, Logan, and Carlos are all about! “We are four hockey players from Minnesota and we can never forget that,” is written on one of Kendall’s photos. “It’s also about washboard abs. Check it!” Can you guess whose photo that caption belonged to? Carlos’ last photo slide quotes Big Time Audition: “Let’s all just calm down and think nice happy thoughts about kittens.” Last, but certainly not least, Logan. His first photo says, “Logan’s equation for love = Math + Girls!” And the final photo… Big Time Rush!
I’m a big time BTR junkie, but the Big Time Break Trivia feature shared a ton of information that I didn’t know! Did you know that Carlos Pena doesn’t like ketchup? Or that creator, Scott Fellows’ dog made an appearance in that episode? Neither did I! Look for Dodger (Scott Fellow’s labradoodle) when James whips out his head shots!
No matter what you love about Big Time Rush, you can find it in this disc set. Mark your calendars, ladies and gentleman. The Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume One DVD set hits shelves two weeks from today, March 29, 2011!

February 10, 2011 Bravo Magazine: Big Time Rush’s Worst Sins
I scanned the new issue of the German Bravo magazine, they showed us a new photoshoot with the guys. The article’s about Big Time Rush’s worst sins, thanks so much to Imane for translating it!
Logan: I’m a skateboard freak! When I wasn’t a part of Big Time Rush, I stood almost everyday on my board, and drove with my boys through a mall in Dallas/Texas. Of course it wasn’t allowed to skate. But we didn’t care. We even made competitions out of it! Who made it first through the mall, without getting caught by the security, won! That was a great feeling!
James: I always liked to tease others with water bombs! The noise it does, when this thing hits, is just awesome! But one of my tricks went totally wrong! It happened when I still went to school in San Diego. I climbed with a mate on a hill next to a street – from up there, you could aim perfectly on the cars and the people. We once caught some older and muscle-bound seniors! They were really angry and even called the police! But the worst thing: They climbed up the hill and pursued us. I was really scared, they’d kill us! But thank god, we were faster!
Carlos: I was about twelve when I went to a shop with my mum. I wanted these great chewing gums, but she didn’t allow me to buy them. I was so mad that I stole them! I ran to the toilet and stuffed some of them in my mouth. But I suddenly felt really guilty. I spat them back into the packing and put it back on the shelf. Disgusting, isn’t it? My parents haven’t had it so easy with me. I always taped the garage entrace too.
Kendall: The worst thing I’ve done so far was two years ago in my hometown Wichita/Kansas. I visited my dad at his work. He owns a construction company, and his office was located next to a highway. On the way to him, I collected stones and threw them on the windshields of passing cars. The stones weren’t big enough to break the glass, but it made a really loud noise. When I hit another car, it suddenly stopped: A woman came out, stormed angrily towards to me and took me to the office of my dad. My dad was shocked, and I got into trouble! Rightly! Today I know that it wasn’t really cool.

February 10, 2011 Big Time Rush to be on The View on February 21, 2011
Set your dvr’s guys, according to The Late Night TV Page Big Time Rush will be guests on the hit talk show “The View” on Monday, February 21st! Check your local listings for when it will be on in your area. Coincidentally, Big Time Beach Party premieres later that night on Nickelodeon.
February 10, 2011 Entertainment Weekly’s Interview with Big Time Rush
LOGAN PHILLIP HENDERSON, 21
What’s your favorite food or vice to get you through a long recording session?
As bad as it is…coffee. I usually take down a couple of cups during a session.
What song on your album doesn’t get enough love that people should really listen to?
We have so many great songs on the album, but one of my personal favorites is “Nothing Even Matters.”
What kind of music did you grow up listening to?
I grew up with the Beatles, B.B. King, Elvis, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, Incubus, Taking Back Sunday, Radiohead, and Michael Jackson.
JAMES DAVID MASLOW, 20
What boy bands out there do you think are great—and why?
Looking at the past, ‘NSYNC was the greatest in my opinion. They literally spent years rehearsing before they did any major tour and thanks to that, they were a well-oiled machine. Justin Timberlake is a prime example of how a truly talented artist can then transition from a group into a successful solo career, and the lesson I take from that is to never stop training and striving to get better.
Who are your celebrity crushes?
I have had a crush on Emma Watson since the first Harry Potter. No, I haven’t met her yet, but a guy can hope.
What do you look for in a girl?
For me to be interested in a girl, she has to have an outgoing personality and a passion of her own. Low maintenance is nice, too.
CARLOS ROBERTO PENA, JR., 21
Why do you think Snoop Dogg wanted to work with you?
We were very excited when we found out that Snoop Dogg wanted to do the show. He told us that his daughter was a big fan and that once he knew that, it was a done deal. In his many years of doing shows and videos, his daughter had not once wanted to come to the set as much as she did for the Big Time Rush Snoop “Boyfriend” video!
What was it like working with him?
Working with Snoop Dogg was just as awesome as anyone might think. He met all of our expectations and more. He’s just as cool and relaxed as he appears.
You’ve worked with Snoop Dogg now, but who are your dream collaborators?
We would love to work with Justin Timberlake. We all look up to him very much and it would be a dream to collaborate on a song with him.
KENDALL FRANCIS SCHMIDT, 20
What song on your album doesn’t get enough love that people should really listen to?
Thankfully, our fans give a lot of love to all our songs. That is why we have the best fans in the world.
Why do you think Snoop Dogg wanted to work with you? What was it like working with him?
I know he was a fan because his daughter was a big fan of the show and the music. So we got the chance to work with a legend…and he couldn’t have been any cooler! Thanks Snoop!

Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume One Episode Synopses:
DISC 1:
Big Time Audition
Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan are hockey-playing best friends from Minnesota, whose lives are turned upside down after being discovered by mega-record producer Gustavo Rocque. Next thing they know, Gustavo moves them to Los Angeles to make them into the next music sensation.
Big Time Crib
The guys are not thrilled with their boring apartment at the Palm Woods. They hatch a plan to improve it when Gustavo creates a fun “fake” living area for them on a soundstage for an upcoming video shoot. The guys enlist the help of all of their friends at Palm Woods to move all of the cool games and gadgets from the set to their apartment.
Big Time School of Rocque
The guys get a dose of reality when Gustavo tells them they have to go to school while they live in Los Angeles. While the boys want to go to the fun school in the Palm Woods, Gustavo has arranged to have their school located at the recording studio. In the end, the boys do whatever is necessary to take down the “School of Rocque” and go to the Palm Woods school.
Big Time Bad Boy
The record company CEO thinks adding a fifth band member will broaden Big Time Rush’s appeal. He sticks the guys with a self-proclaimed “bad boy,” who tries to inject dissension and tension within the group. Ultimately, the guys band together and get him booted out.
Big Time Love Song
The guys all chase the same girl, causing problems in the band for the first time. Gustavo sees their crush as motivation for a love ballad and struggles to quickly write a syrupy love song for the group to sing.

Big Time Crib
The guys are not thrilled with their boring apartment at the Palm Woods. They hatch a plan to improve it when Gustavo creates a fun “fake” living area for them on a soundstage for an upcoming video shoot. The guys enlist the help of all of their friends at Palm Woods to move all of the cool games and gadgets from the set to their apartment.
Big Time School of Rocque
The guys get a dose of reality when Gustavo tells them they have to go to school while they live in Los Angeles.

In the end, the boys do whatever is necessary to take down the “School of Rocque” and go to the Palm Woods school.
Big Time Bad Boy

January 7, 2011 Bravo Magazine: Behind the Scenes of Big Time Rush
“Hey, there you are. Come in!” That’s the way I, BRAVO-Reporter Andreas, am getting welcomed with a big smile from Carlos on the “Big Time Rush”-Set. “Let me guide you through the scenes.” What’s not showed on TV: The apartment of the band and the office of the music producer Gustavo are located door to door in the huge film studios. “Sit at Gustavo’s desk and we’re gonna stand behind you like bodyguards.”, say Kendall and Logan, as they join us. The boys are real ‘Jesters’. That’s what I noticed, too, when James appeared. “Where were you? Did you need the whole time for your hair again?”, Logan jokes with his band member. James stays cool: “At least I got a hairstyle – and the fans like it.” Carlos reveals proudly: “We already get recognized from our fans!” The TV-Band wants to meet more fans, cause then Big Time Rush is finally going to be on their first great tour – through Europe too! James tells us: “We’re already excited to meet our fans there personally.”

December 3rd 2010 Big Time Rush Talks about Big Time Christmas With Popstar Mag
All we want for Christmas is….Big Time Rush! And thank goodness the boys are happy to oblige by bringing us an hour-long movie special, Big Time Christmas, this Saturday (December 4 at 8pm) on Nickelodeon. The boys team up with some major guest stars to bring Christmas cheer to LA when their plans to return to Minnesota for the holiday are canceled.
James, Kendall, Logan and Carlos gave us some exclusive scoop on what to expect from Saturday’s big episode! (And what it was like hanging out in their PJs with Snoop Dogg.)
Popstar!: Can you tell me about Big Time Christmas?
James: We were all very very excited about that. It’s a double episode, it’s a movie, and we have a few amazing guest stars. Including Fabio comes back, who plays Santa for a little bit.
Kendall: You can’t really have Big Time Rush without Fabio.
James: You really can’t.
Logan: He’s hilarious.
James: And Miranda Cosgrove, she’s in it as well, guest starring. And last but definitely not least is Snoop Dogg. So we have an amazing line-up of guest stars and some great music, too. We have an original Christmas song called “Beautiful Christmas” that we’re really proud of. And we cover a couple songs.
Popstar!: How was it working with Miranda?
James: It was great. She’s really a sweetheart and it was nice to have a different vibe on set. And with a mostly male staff and an entirely male crew it’s nice to have another girl on set in general.
Popstar!: And it must have been fun going to work in your pajamas.
Kendall: Yeah, of course. Chillin’ with Snoop Dogg in our pajamas was pretty awesome.
Popstar!: Was he a cool guy in person?
Kendall: You know what, he’s just one of the most humble, awesome, most hilarious guys that you’ll ever meet. He was really cool and he had such personal style, I know I remember him walking out on set and everybody was just taken aback because he’s just really a cool guy through-and-through.
Popstar!: What’s your favorite Christmas song of all time?
James: I like [singing] “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose.”
Logan: I don’t know, I like the more classic, you know like choirs do, Christmas songs. I think that’s pretty cool, pretty rock and roll.
