Miranda Cosgrove plays iCarly every week on the popular Nickelodeon series — and now you can get to know the girl behind the character.
(For more on Miranda and other "it" girls, check out our Female Pop Rookies of 2009.)
When she's not hard at work on her show and music, she's learning how to drive. So what's her dream car? "I'm going to say a Prius. But, to be honest, I want a Range Rover, because all the 'High School Musical' girls have one. I think they're all pretty cool."
Besides fancy cars, what else is Miranda into?
1. She's loves to stay up late! "I'm a huge night owl. I stay up late and watch movies."
2. She has a weekly movie night! She and her friends hang out and go to the movies every Friday. So what genre is she into? "I love comedies and scary movies."
3. She's an equestrian! "I go horseback riding every other weekend. I don't really take lessons."
4. She likes nerds! "I'm actually different. I like the nerdy, sweet guys. Michael Cera [is my celebrity crush]. He's really cute."
5. She really wants to go to college! "I'd want to go to college at NYU. I'd freak out if I got to go there. I'd want to have the full college experience."
