Fans of Big Time Rush and Victoria Justice are celebrating today, Mar. 28, over the big news that the two acts will be touring together all summer long.

Victoria Justice & Big Time Rush Going On Tour Together

The Nickelodeon stars are keeping it in the family for their “Summer Break Tour,” which spans the United States, hitting 38 cities starting on June 21 and ending August 11.

“Summer Break” will be a serious two-for-one deal, as fans will be able to see Big Time Rush AND Victoria perform on the same stage. Plus, you know touring together will encourage the BTR boys and Victoria to step up their games night in and night out and they’ll both definitely feed off of one another’s energy. And with Big Time Rush planning on releasing their third album sometime during the summer, the shows will definitely be amazing and fresh!

Victoria even told, On Air with Ryan Seacrest about the upcoming tour, “The BTR boys and I have always gotten along really well so it’s going to be one big party and I’m looking forward to hitting cities I didn’t play last year.”

Tickets for “Summer Break” go on sale starting on Apr. 6 on Live Nation and Ticketmaster, so break open that piggy bank and get ready for one of the best shows of the summer, HollywoodLifers!

There’s never a dull moment for the boys of Big Time Rush. Not only is the foursome busy filming the fourth season of their hit Nickelodeon show, but they’re also cranking out a third studio album and prepping for a tour. Carlos Pena, Jr. and Kendall Schmidt chatted with HollywoodLife.com before the 2013 Kids’ Choice Awards on March 23, and we got the scoop on what’s to come — including a few “special guests” joining the boys on the road!

“We are gung ho on getting the album out sometime this summer, and we’re shooting 13 episodes [of our Nickelodeon show] back to back,” Carlos told us. “We’re currently on the eighth episode … and we want to have it ready so the episodes go back-to-back with no repeats!”

And Carlos isn’t just co-starring on the show; he’s also directing the eleventh episode of the new season!

“[The episode] is called “Big Time Tour Bus,” so we’re going to be on a tour bus for an entire week.”

Adds Kendall, “The episode we’re doing has a video of a song that I wrote from a few years ago, and it will be on the third album.”

And speaking of the tour, Kendall told us the boys will be “announcing some tour dates and special guests in the next coming weeks.”

Carlos Explains Why He’s Excited To Direct An Episode

For the record, Carlos isn’t at all nervous about directing an episode. In fact, he told us it’ll be a piece of cake since he knows the other guys so well.

“It will be interesting,” Carlos told us about stepping behind the camera. ”I know what makes it run easier for us, and sometimes the other directors don’t understand that. Since we’ve done 80-90 episodes together, I can do something that makes things much smoother and more relaxed.”

And it sounds like Kendall agrees!

“I’ve seen how he’s developed his directing and filming skills … [I think] he is probably a lot better then what he gives himself credit for,” Kendall told us. “On set, we always talk about how we shouldn’t be doing an extra take because it won’t be used, so he knows that stuff. It’ll be more efficient and quicker.”

We can’t wait to check it out!

James Maslow is putting down his microphone and flexing his acting muscles — at least for one day. The Big Time Rush singer will guest star on an upcoming episode of Scott Baio‘s new Nick at Nite sitcom See Dad Run, premiering Oct. 14, and BTR fans might be surprised by James’ not-so-sweet new character.

So how does James, 22, enter the equation?

Scott’s character David, a former sitcom star, stages a reunion with his on-screen son Ricky (James) — but he quickly learns that Ricky isn’t the happy-go-lucky kid he remembers.

“[Ricky] kind of let fame go to his head,” James tells HollywoodLife.com. “He became a teen heartthrob after the TV show that he and Scott’s character were on before, and he’s a little bit cocky now. It’s a funny spin, and I’m really looking forward to doing it.”

James is currently on tour with Big Time Rush; the group is wrapping up performances in North America, and heading to Mexico/South America beginning Sept. 24. The fourth season of their Nickelodeon series, Big Time Rush, begins production in early 2013.

Big Time Rush is fan of The X Factor too! The group recently collaborated with X Factor finalist Rachel Crow and can’t wait to do it again!

“She is in one of our episodes and she is so cute. And she has such a huge voice,” Logan Henderson EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife.com at Wango Tango in Los Angeles May 12. ”It was so fun to film, we have actually been able to listen to some of her new music lately and its pretty unbelievable!” adds Kendall Schmidt.

The group hopes to work with Rachel more in the future and even compared her to a another celebrity they worked with in the past, Jordin Sparks.

“We would love to have her voice,” says Kendall. “They kind of have similar angelic voices.”

Would you like to see Big Time Rush and Rachel on the same stage?

Big Time Rush has been getting more and more popular, and we think their new video for “Time Of Our Life” will make them bigger than ever!

The boy band filmed the spot at the 2012 Kids’ Choice Awards, and we think it’s a great introduction of the group to a wider audience. We bet they will be as big as One Direction soon!

Wilmer Valderrama is SO last month. It looks like Demi Lovato has moved on with another, more age appropriate, man and we totally approve. HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively the 19-year-old former Disney darling was engaging in some major PDA with 22-year-old Big Time Rush star Logan Henderson in New York City yesterday…

“I saw Demi and Logan kissing at the Ritz Carlton Hotel,” our source dishes exclusively.

This doesn’t come as too big of surprise to us, since the adorable couple seemed pretty darn cozy earlier in the night at the premiere for the Nickelodeon original TV movie, Big Time Movie (starring Big Time Rush).

Wearing a leather jacket and blouse, with her long locks flowing, Demi looked casual and happy to be Logan’s date for the evening, posing for pics and even sitting with him inside the theater. Following the film, Demi and Logan left together and if you watch the video below closely, you see them holding hands as they walk down the street. Too cute!

Logan and Demi have been friends for some time now and their fans have even speculated in the past there’s more between them than just friendship. It looks like the sparks are finally flying!
