v  You can vote for Fave TV Actor on your phone!
A heads up about voting! I went on wap.nick.com to see if the voting list was different for the KCA's and it is. Every single category, including Fave TV Actor is up there. So, if you have a cell phone (or feel like being sneaky on your computer) that can access the internet go to wap.nick.com and click vote and you should be able to vote from there. There are about 4 or 5 categories that are not listed on the main KCA website, so that means they are swapping out voting categories every few weeks to make things even, I assume. Just thought I'd let you guys know!

v  More Superhero Movie stills, new gallery URL. // Keep voting for Drake!
I'm sure you've all noticed already, but our gallery now has a new web address! The gallery can now be found at http://www.drakemedia.org. I thought it was time it got it's own domain, making it easier for you all to bookmark. It re-directs back to the gallery here on this server, so don't get confused if you still see the drakecentral.org address. With the addition of the new url, I have also added two new Superhero Movie shots. The one is hilarious, can't wait until the end of the month. It's going to get busy! And don't forget to keep voting for Drake! The categories should be changing if you don't see Fave TV Actor yet.

v  Videos now up at DailyMotion!
Since the gallery is still down, and I remember you all saying you wanted our videos to be able to be viewed easier, I've created a DailyMotion account. It's like YouTube, but allows our videos to be better quality. I've uploaded a few, but a lot of our old videos will still need to be accessed from the Video Center. Head on over to the DailyMotion account and check it out! I added my personal concert videos.

v  Our MySpace was deleted again, now we're over at Facebook!
Once again, our MySpace was deleted. It was worth a try getting another one back up, and it did pretty well. Thank you to Drake's MySpace and his Street Team for adding us back to their top friends, and sorry we've been such a bother. I've added us over at Facebook, so if you're over there, become our "fan" as they call it. I'll try to keep you all updated over there, as well. Thank you so much, you guys.

v  First review of Superhero!
"The plot, a novelty for these kinds of movies, follows the adventures of an average guy, played by Drake Bell, who accidentally becomes the recipient of superpowers. The movie adheres to the well established conventions of the genre: Guy gets powers, guy freaks out at powers, guy learns responsibility of powers and guy resolves to fights evil with them. 

The romance and villainy of the first and second “Spiderman” provide the template. Sara Paxton is funny and hot as the Mary Jane character. Chris McDonald will make it impossible for you to look at Willem Dafoe’s “Green Goblin” again with a straight face, if you ever had one. Brent “Data” Spiner is delightful as a whacked out scientist and the appearance of Leslie Nielsen as a city official was greeted by applause. "

v  Gallery down, MySpace deleted.
I'm sorry that the gallery isn't up yet. I have contacted my host multiple times and I'm still waiting to hear from them. Also, it seems someone has hacked into our MySpace and deleted it. We were so close to 1,000 friends, too. I don't know if we'll ever have a MySpace again, but I'll keep you all updated on that. On a more happier note, the trailer for Superhero! should be out sometime this week, according to Robin. Keep watching for that. *Edit: I've created a new MySpace, so if you were our friend before, or even if you're new around here, please go add us!

v  A brand new layout, it was time for another change!
As you can see, we have a brand new layout thanks to my friend Alyssa over at Namine.org. I love it, and waited long enough ;), so thank you so much and I hope you all like it. It should be up for quite some time. I've noticed a lot of the kids adding us over at our MySpace think we're Drake, I don't know how to make it any more clear, but we are not Drake Bell and our MySpace, nor this website, are affiliated with him.

January 12th, 2008 // Lauren // FaceBook

v  A medium sized gallery update.
An old photo shoot Drake did for Teen People is now up in the gallery. We had it back when the site originally opened, but it got lost in the mix throughout the years. A higher quality version of the still from College that is going around the boards was also added. Two HQ stills from when Drake, Josh and Miranda were on The Today Show this past Summer are also up! Enjoy.

January 10th, 2008 // Lauren // FaceBook

v  New layouts galore, plus an easier Video Center.
A brand new layout has been put up at the Video Center. I have also re-organized the videos, so hopefully it'll be easier for me to upload new ones, and for you to download them. I will be adding a few more, hopefully, throughout the weekend, so keep checking back. Expect a new layout here at the main site within the week, as well. I'm not too crazy about this one.

v  Drake appearance in Texas this morning.
Drake performed in Texas today at the Grand Opening of the Great Wolf Lodge. I'm not sure if this was an open event, and I'm sorry this information didn't get out sooner to anyone, but if any of you guys did attend the opening and took pictures, please feel free to donate.

v  Drake Bell: Life After 'Drake & Josh'
"Though Drake Bell has successfully moved on to pursue his own music and acting career, his visibility on screen has diminished compared to when he starred on the Nickelodeon teen series, Drake & Josh. But now, fans will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the 21-year-old singer/actor as he promotes two of his upcoming movies slated to hit the theaters later this year.

After four years of playing Drake Parker on Drake & Josh, Bell has welcomed the ‘bittersweet ending” of the series and has concentrated on his growing career as a musician. He released his debut album “Telegraph” independently in 2005 but has earned more fame with his second album “It's Only Time,” which he continues to promote on tour and on gigs since last summer."

v  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Drake!
I hope you all had a perfect holiday and if I don't get to update before the new year, a perfect New Year's as well. Drake posted a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year blog over at his MySpace. I have typed it up for you guys below, for easy reading! Sorry it wasn't posted earlier.

"I just wanted to say thank you for helping me make 2007 an awesome year. It has been a lot of work, a lot of time away from home and my family, but a whole lot of fun thanks to you. The time I spent on tour, all the people I met and all the wonderful people who were able to come out to the shows will be forever in my memory as my first national tour. Thanks to you I won two Kid's Choice Awards including the first ever Kid's Choice Award given out in England for Favorite Singer. I am sorry that I couldn't make it to the ceremony, but as you know I was filming SUPERHERO! Maybe next year....

2008 looks like it will be an exciting one as well. Both movies I filmed in 2007 will be released on the big screen in March and April. You know what that means...I will be on your TV's promoting them. But before I head off to promote movies, I will be in the studio working on my next album, and we have been talking about another tour in 2008 that may go international, and some more film projects may be lurking around the corner. You will just need to stay tuned to see what happens next.

I have heard that the people who work with me check out my site from time to time. So just in case they do I want to say thank you for all your hard work. I also wanted to thank my friends and family for putting up with me and my crazy schedule.

I will be spending the holidays this year home with my familiy and friends; enjoying some music, the tree, eggnog, the awesome California weather and more food than you can imagine. Most importantly I will be surrounded by the people I love. I wish that for all of you.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I'll see you all in 2008."
