Victoria Justice: I like it.
Perez Hilton: Where are you right now?
Victoria Justice: I’m in my dining room of my house. I just got home last. I was filming a movie in Ohio. So I’ve been gone, and I’m finally home, and it feels really good.
Perez Hilton: So lets talk about the movie. What — it’s like a movie with a big cast. What’s the movie called?
Victoria Justice: Yeah, it’s called Fun Size. It’s a movie for Paramount. It’s my first like leading role in a feature film, so it’s been very, very, very exciting for me. And it’s a great cast too. Johnny Knoxville’s in it, and getting to work with him is awesome. He’s like one of the coolest guys I’ve ever met. And then Chelsea Handlers in it as well, and she’s really cool, super like witty, and sharp, and funny so.
Perez Hilton: Was she playing your mom in the movie?
Victoria Justice: Yeah, she’s playing my mom. Which I know when I tell people that, they’re like, what, you guys look nothing alike. But it works because (inaudible) my dad, and he’s dark and more olive skinned like I am. But it’s like, it’s a step in the right direction for me I think. And it’s a little bit more mature at times, but not crazy mature. And it’s just a really like fun, action, adventure, romantic comedy kind of thing, and I think it’s going to be really funny.
Perez Hilton: How old are you now, 19, 18?
Victoria Justice: Eighteen, 18. February 19th is my birthday.
Perez Hilton: And —
Victoria Justice: Are you a Pisces?

Perez Hilton: I just saw the soundtrack to Victorious came out, and it did like really, really well. Didn’t it debut at the top ten?
Victoria Justice: Yeah, it did do really well. Top five, we got top five on Billboard. And I think it was #2 on the pop charts, which is really, really cool. It’s, yeah, I’m pretty blown away.
Perez Hilton: Was this the first soundtrack from the TV show or has there been previous ones?
Victoria Justice: This is the first soundtrack. We took at the music from season one of the show, and then a couple of new songs from season two that have just aired, and put it on the soundtrack. And the response has been amazing, and the fans seem to really love the music, which makes me really happy. So it’s going well.
