16 ACTORS TO LEAVE THEIR CURRENT STUDIOS

NITRO Insider Paul Clayton reports that sixteen actors are set to leave their studios before the next BOTNS event this Thursday. Paul expects more names to come up as we hit draft time. The NITRO Rookie Draft is rumored to take place on Saturday June 30, 2012 but no final date has been announced yet.

Airee Brooks (TCC)
Brenton Thwaites (ICE)
Indiana Evans (ROD)
Jessica Stroup (ROD)
Josh Henderson (TCC)
Julie Gonzalo (EBC)
Kaley Cuoco (EBC)
Katie Homes (UNO)
Kay Panabaker (SBC)
Kenan Thompson (MRA)
Kevin James (EBC)
Liliane Hong (MRA)
Megan Fox (TCC)
Miranda Cosgrove (UNO)
Olesya Rulin (SBC)
Teri Hatcher (UNO)

Most of these actors came via the trade that took place before BOTNS about a month ago. Most of these actors are huge names and have never been cast into any shows and they've also not been involved in any studio battles. Jessica Stroup was cast in Hot Girls but was fired from the show after the pilot aired and replaced by Charlie Stewart. Jessica will likely be heading back to the ICE Phederation where she was before.

These actors have been angry with their bosses yelling at them everyday for not using them.

It's not known yet if any of these actors will be offered contracts anytime soon. Indiana Evans has been rumored to be the first actor from this list of actors to be offered a contract. Indiana might be the hottest actor leaving her studio as she is a young 21 year old Australian actress who can make a big name for herself next season in NITRO.

* Paul Clayton reports that Olesya Rulin will become an official ICE Starlet on Tuesday morning as she has already moved to their studio officially. Not known if she will be offered a contract to go back on the market this summer. The huge rumor right now is that Paramount has plans to cast Olesya in the Full House continuation series that will be sold to a network later this month. Olesya will possibly play a relative of the Olsen Twins she she looks like them.

BREAKING NEWS: DV WILL LIKELY LOSE A MAJOR STAR



The season hasn't ended yet but so many actors are trying to move before BOTNS starts on Thursday evening so they can be with a different team.

NITRO Insider Paul Clayton is reporting that ICE is busy reshaping their whole roster from scratch right now and looking at the huge possibility of stealing Ashley Benson away from DV. ICE has always had their eye on getting Ashley Benson but was unlucky this past spring in picking up her services. Ever since Ashley's big game performance in the team's huge comeback against SBC where she returned two interceptions off of Drew Brees for touchdowns at BOTNS, ICE has gained considerable interest in picking up Ashley Benson. That would be a huge blow to DV since Ashley is their studio captain and DV plays ICE in football this Thursday which will create a lot of drama if Ashley is with Team ICE during that game.

Paul Clayton spoke with her friend Lucy Hale and Lucy is confident that Ashley is moving to the Phederation to become an ICE Starlet. Pat Devine is rumored to be giving her a starring role in one of the new comedies coming this fall for the network.

Since Ashley is a contracted actor she has the option to go back on the market instead of getting traded but she will likely get traded to ICE since her contract won't be up until June 2013 so she may opt to stay with ICE until then. Ash's agent says that she may still let DV share her services with ICE so she can keep doing Preston Girls.


ADRIANNE PALICKI DIDN'T SLEEP WITH PAT DEVINE
Another move that's been announced is in the executive staffs for two studios. Adrianne Palicki who was rumored to be going to ICE to become an executive with the Phederation but Pat reported to Paul Clayton that she is not leaving DV and that he never slept with her as rumored before. DV owner Jaclyn Smith says that Leighton Meester will become the CEO of the studio and Adrianne will get demoted more than likely and Rachel McAdams will move to president and Melissa Joan Hart will be in charge of comedies as their comedy coordinator.

Missy Peregrym who has served as a NITRO official is going to get demoted and go to the ICE Phederation to serve as an extra official with Rachel Bilson and Mischa Barton. Tom Selleck has not named her replacement yet. Tom stated that he thought Missy was too immature for the job and needed to get back into acting. Missy will become an ICE Starlet on Tuesday morning.


Megan Fox is looking strongly at coming over to ROD since they have Shia LaBeouf, Charlie Sheen, and Brian Austin Green all on the roster plus she wants to move back to Los Angeles. Megan Fox was disappointed that TCC didn't use her.

Kay Panabaker will likely be going back to TCC as she hasn't found work with SBC but her sister is staying put with ICE. Kay says she likes the fact that TCC signed her to the original roster.

Argentinian actress Julie Gonzalo will likely become a 30 year old ICE Starlet and wants to get into producing over there.

BREAKING NEWS: ROD WILL LOSE SELENA GOMEZ TO SBC?

It seems like ROD just got Selena Gomez not that long ago and she was bragging with her boyfriend about being at ROD. Well SBC may have the last laugh now as Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez will be split up again.

Selena's agent has reportedly been in discussions with SBC to move her there so that she can get into a new comedy pilot after ROD told her that she would not be cast with Alyson Stoner in ROD's new comedy for the fall Dancers which is produced from the Toronto's Friends franchise at Paramount.

Selena Gomez is also a contracted actress and her deal is up in June 2013, Selena has expressed interest in working with Hayden Panettiere and Whitney Cummings at MRA in a new comedy so her services will be shared with MRA but she will be SBC's property. MRA expressed interest in Selena this past spring.


SBC is also likely going to have Miranda Cosgrove who wants to go there since UNO did nothing with her and her buddies Nathan Kress and Jennette McCurdy have been used there.

Miranda Cosgrove could be a huge pickup for SBC as it gives them another actor for comedy.

SBC might keep getting lucky as ROD has stated interest in giving Priscilla Martin back to SBC as SBC has their sights set on grabbing ICE Starlet Manny Santi from the ICE Phederation and picking up an actress from the Rookie Draft coming up. ROD just picked up Ukrainian actress Tabitha Jones.

NITRO Insider Robert Slater is now reporting some really surprising news that ROD just like ICE is making a few changes in their executive chain to get ready for the fall. The studio fires George Lopez after he turned around their comedy division in May. George Lopez who was used a pawn in the Jay-Z and Nicole Gale Anderson scheme to destroy SBC Universal might be headed back there now. George Lopez will now become a free agent and now that he has actually turned around a comedy division he could be a major asset to any studio looking to sure up their comedy roster.

ROD made the move to block ICE from getting Whitney Cummings from MRA. Whitney Cummings was set to come to ICE to replace Mila Kunis as their comedy coordinator overseeing the Paramount Pretty Comedies after she had already worked their earlier in the season back in February and March but now ROD wanted her to come in and take over the leadership of their comedies. Whit will now be in charge of one of NITRO's big comedy blocks and she will work closely with Charlie Sheen and Justin Timberlake who were both helping George Lopez oversee those operations. With this move this makes things very difficult on ICE now to replace Mila Kunis.

NITRO Officials picked up Ice Cube to a new policing position in their security unit so that forced ROD to have to make another huge move as they now turn ex-convict Eric Balfour into a representative of the law as Eric Balfour will now become the new Head Official for the studio. This move right here will end up coming with a great amount of criticism since a lot of people see Eric as too much of a bad boy and gigolo to be taken seriously as an officer now. Eric Balfour has been sucking up to NITRO Officials lately and was able to get the high paying position with ease.

SBC has now added NITRO's best executive Gavin Nagy was in charge of the variety programming on ICE and really helped that network excel to the top spot in NITRO thanks to innovations like live comedies like Tracy's 3 Girls and sex specials. This is going to be a huge loss for ICE as they will really need someone who had Gavin's vision to continue to produce great variety shows. Gavin Nagy has just signed a huge blockbuster deal with SBC Universal to take over their variety position in the fall and overhaul all of their variety shows from scratch. Gavin Nagy will continue working with Paramount until the fall to sell his variety pilots to Universal. Before Gavin leaves he will work with TCC on his project Sounders. Gavin Nagy will not officially work with SBC until training camp starts on Tuesday August 14, 2012 for SBC. SBC President Courteney Cox was said to be the influential figure in getting him away from ICE and helping turn around their variety and comedy division. Gavin Nagy is only 25 years old.


According to ICE sources, they are ready to make some announcements to their executive staff which is receiving an overhaul. NITRO Insider Robert Slater reports that a huge shakeup will take place as the executive chain has lost some major names like Mila Kunis, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Gavin Nagy, and they are prepared to lose Patrick Dempsey who will be heading to free agency and will likely be leaving the ICE Phederation.

There's been actual word coming from ICE that they are about to go real young in their executive chain and add in Jessica Stroup and Tristan Wilds to land big positions. Penn Badgley is at the top of the list now to head up the comedy division. Jessica Stroup, Shenae Grimes, Ashley Benson, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, Jordana Brewster, and Sophia Bush are all fighting for the prized Chairman position. Jennifer Esposito will likely get transferred to work with Commissioner Bridget Moyanhan so she will be working with the NITRO Officials. That will mean that the Vice President position is open now also. ICE has a lot of work to do and an announcement on these moves will be made by them.

Tristan Wilds has always been Pat Devine's main male actor for all the 3 years of ICE and he definitely wants Tristan to work right under him and President Kevin Smart.

NITRO Commissioner Bridget Moyanhan has just cleared the trade between TCC and ICE that send newly acquired free agent Carly Foulkes to TCC from ICE. In return ICE will receive Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who they actually had before the reboot and Canadian blonde bombshell Cindy Busby along with a future draft pick in this year's Rookie Draft later this summer.

Carly Foulkes is rumored to be cast as the lead in the new family musical sitcom Sounders which ironic enough is a Paramount pilot.

The trade no doubt about it gives TCC a potential franchise actor in Carly Foulkes that they can use for many future projects to help boost up their ratings. For ICE this will not go over well with their Starlets who feel betrayed by Carly. This will open up a nice little rivalry there between Carly and the Starlets. Look for ICE to use that draft pick to find their next Allison Shields, Barbara Palvin, or Emily DiDonato.

Rookie Draft Pick

The ICE Phederation is trying to clear up all of that recent mess from their nightmare start to the summer which included the loss of Chairman Jennifer Love Hewitt, Mila Kunis, Matthew Perry, Mackenzie Rosman, and Carly Foulkes. They actually scored pretty big thanks to MRA's actors having no jobs or a studio to work at. ICE has just acquired the contract of Hayden Panettiere along with Kenan Thompson who doesn't have an active contract just yet.

HAYDEN PANETTIERE FINALLY BECOMES AN ICE STARLET AFTER 3 YEARS

The other huge acquisition is no doubt about it Hayden Panettiere who will be working with her ex-enemy Allison Shields for the first time ever. If you go way back with NITRO history you would know that Hayden was one of the Starlets specifically Ally's first enemies. The history goes way back to 2009 during the summer and first edition of the revived BOTNS where then Team The WB (MRA, named changed in February 2012) was in heated battles with Team UPN (ICE, named changed in October 2009) for the championship specifically in football where Allison and Hayden got in a number of fights as they would play wide receiver and cornerback matched right up against each other. The rivalry continued through the next year until the two finally called truths during the work stoppage in 2011. Ever since the two have been trying to work together and nearly worked together back in April when Hayden decided to temporarily work for ROD before returning to MRA. Now she's finally an ICE Starlet after 3 years.

This could get nasty now as now Hayden Panettiere and Allison Shields will be on the same team and the same roster.
