For the first-time ever, Countdown to Kids’ Choice can be viewed live on multiple platforms – Nick.com, Facebook, Android and iPhone smartphones and iPads – beginning at 7 p.m. (ET) with key moments from the orange carpet also airing on Nickelodeon throughout the hour. Countdown to Kids’ Choice kicks off the annual slimefest honoring the hottest celebrities in music, TV, sports and film. Nickelodeon’s 2011 Kids’ Choice Awards will air live at 8 p.m. (ET/tape delayed for West Coast) from the Galen Center at USC in Los Angeles.
Immediately following Nickelodeon’s 2011 Kids’ Choice Awards, the network will premiere a brand-new episode of Victorious, titled “Beggin’ on Your Knees,” at 9:30 p.m. (ET/PT), featuring a music performance of the title track. In the new episode, the Full Moon Jam is coming up and the cutest boy at Hollywood Arts wants to perform a duet with Tori (Justice), but she finds out he has a reputation. Is Tori just having trust issues or is this guy bad news?
“Beggin’ On Your Knees” will be included on the upcoming Victorious soundtrack, out this summer on Columbia Records. The music video for the track which features the cast of Victorious will premiere on Saturday, March 12, at 9:45 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. The song will be available on iTunes Tuesday, April 5.
During Countdown to Kids’ Choice, kids can participate in the experience with total access to the live event coverage. Exclusive Nick cameras will offer multiple viewing angles and will be featured alongside celebrity tweets, interactive polls, real-time updates and photos from the orange carpet and backstage. Fans at home can submit questions to the pre-show hosts and see their poll results displayed on large screens on the orange carpet. Immediately following the Countdown to Kids’ Choice, viewers can catch all the KCA video and photo highlights on Nick.com and mobile devices.
Victorious follows teenager Tori Vega (Justice) who attends the prestigious performing arts high school, Hollywood Arts. From her first day at the school, however, Tori feels out of place among the amazingly talented students, especially mean diva Jade (Elizabeth Gillies, Broadway’s 13). But with the help of her older sister Trina (Daniella Monet, A Fairly Odd Movie, Nancy Drew) and new friends including the musically-gifted André (Leon Thomas III, August Rush, Broadway’s The Lion King, iCarly), brooding bad boy Beck (Avan Jogia, Spectacular!), eccentric Cat (Ariana Grande, Broadway’s 13) and lovable but psychologically scrambled ventriloquist Robbie (Matthew Bennett) – Tori realizes that she was born to perform and that entertaining people not only makes her happy but may change her life. The series features original music performed by Victoria Justice and the ensemble cast. Victorious is created and executive produced by Dan Schneider (iCarly, Zoey 101, Drake & Josh).

Recently announced, Nickelodeon artist Big Time Rush will also perform their newest hit, “Boyfriend,” live at this year’s show.
“There is no better way to celebrate the year’s flagship TV event for kids than with a medley by first-time KCA performers The Black Eyed Peas,” said Marjorie Cohn, President, Original Programming and Development, Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group and Executive Producer of the show. “The larger-than-life energy they will deliver on the stage will make for an unforgettable evening.”
The Black Eyed Peas – will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo and apl.de.ap – have always been considered innovators ever since emerging out of the West Coast underground rap scene in the 1990s, evolving into one of the most popular contemporary pop and R&B groups in the world. To date, they have sold 29 million records worldwide (plus over 30 million digital tracks), three million tickets and headlined over 300 different tour dates in 29 different countries. Their recently released sixth full-length album, The Beginning taps into the dance-club energy perfected on their 2009 album, The E.N.D., with a sophisticated pop and electronic music palette. The E.N.D sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and entered the Billboard Top 200 Chart at number-one outperforming their previous album, Monkey Business. It yielded five Top 10 singles (the first album to do so in 20 years), spent an entire year in the Billboard Top 200 Chart and earned the group three new Grammy Awards, bringing their total, to date, to six Grammy Awards.
