It’s been a long nine years for iCarly fans, but the wait is almost over! Paramount+ just released the official trailer for the reboot and Carly will be back with her web show on June 17!

The OG show ran for six seasons and followed Carly Shay, whose skyrockets to online fame. Only one problem: her parents are abroad and there’s suddenly a lot of new success (and problems) to deal with. So Carly recruits the help of her friends Sam and Freddie, plus older brother Spencer to help juggle stardom and high school life. iCarly initially ran on Nickelodeon and a 2010 episode was the second-most watched in network history. The two-part final episode took place in November, 2012. But as today’s trailer demonstrates, the gang is (finally) getting back together.

Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress will all reprise their original roles, only this time they’re navigating life as twenty-somethings, including dating and love lives. Laci Mosley is a new addition as Carly’s roommate and Jaidyn Triplett joins as Freddie’s snarky stepdaughter. And of course, the web show is back with the same set and familiar pranks that iCarly fans have been missing. Only now it’s shot on an PearPhone!

You’ll get three fresh episodes on June 17 if you’re a Paramount+ subscriber, with new episodes coming in weekly. In total, 13 have been ordered up for the first season of the reboot. In the words of Carly, “I know somehow we’re gonna get there and feel so wonderful!”

If you’ve put long bike rides on hold because your kids are too young to bike alongside you or big trailers are too clunky to tote on a major ride, you’ll dig this cool bike trailer that makes family bike outings a cinch. Called a Weehoo, this trailer is great for kids of all ages and biking abilities and is easy to set-up and pull along. Now, go find those bike shorts and rediscover your inner weekend warrior.

Weehooo

What it Does
Weehoo is a bike trailer that lets kids pedal, sleep, eat, drink, enjoy the scenery and, most importantly, be with you, while you ride. While traditional bike trailers leave kids looking like ancient Pharoahs, being toted in an enclosed litter, the Weehoo is designed to look and act just like a real bike, so kids can get some exercise and be out in nature, all while safe and secure.

Why You’ll Love it
One of the things we really love about the Weehoo is its versatility. Its appropriate for any size, age and riding ability. For most biking families, baby quickly outgrows the child seat on your bike, then they graduated to the trailer, but soon outgrew that too. Then you’re stuck in no-mans land since they’re too big to tote and too small to bike alongside. With a sigh, you resign yourself to 10 minute bikes around the neighborhood for the next half dozen years. Or… attach the Weehoo to your own bike and you’ve got someone to share the load (they pedal) and the ride.

How it Works
So, how long can they ride along? The Weehoo has an adjustable seat that fit your 2 year-old and your 9 year-old (because big little legs get tired, too). And with a weight limit of 80 pounds, you just might find they fit even longer.

What makes the Weehoo different from other trailers that turn your mountain bike or beach cruiser into a bicycle built for two is that the seat isn’t a regular bicycle seat: it’s a bucket seat that your kids are strapped into, so just in case they nod off around mile 40, your riders strapped in and perfectly safe.

One last thing that really stood out to us with this bike trailer is that it’s a great tool for all types of kids. It teaches balance to your little one who still needs training wheels, but is raring to go. It’s a perfect segue into biking with the family for those big kids who you’re starting to worry may be stuck on their training wheels until college – they learn peddling and to enjoy (not fear) going fast. And since the Weehoo accommodates the bigger kids, it’s wonderful for kids with special needs who are too big for the tot trailers, but aren’t ready to bike solo.

Not that we’re ever advocating you ditch your beloved tricycle, but we do think this is a spectacular way to Ride On!

The Weehoo iGo Turbo retails for $475.

A Prequel to “Soul” Is Coming to Disney+ & It Answers Some Important Questions

The Academy Awards are always a thrill, but this year it was even more exciting. During the show, musical nerds finally got what we’ve all been waiting for: the first teaser trailer of the revamped West Side Story.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, the rebooted film appears to stay true to the classic in imagery, music and story set in 1957 amidst rival gangs. Keep scrolling to see for yourself!

 

So who makes up the Jets and the Sharks? The new film includes plenty of up and comers like Ansel Elgort (Tony), Rachel Zegler (María), Ariana DeBose (Anita), David Alvarez (Bernardo), Mike Faist (Riff), Josh Andrés Rivera (Chino), Ana Isabelle (Rosalía), Corey Stoll (Lieutenant Schrank), Brian d’Arcy James (Officer Krupke) and Rita Moreno––who appeared in the OG West Side Story.

While the trailer likely got you amped up to belt out the chorus of “I Feel Pretty” and “America” alongside the cast, you’ll have to wait a little longer. West Side Story will release on Dec. 10, 2021.
