Cody och andra artister ska uppträda på Q102's Springle Ball 2012! :)

J-14 has learned exclusively that Cody Simpson will be joining Train, Cobra Starship, and Ariana Grande as a performer at this year's T.J. Martell Family Day. "I'm so excited to be a part of T.J. Martell's Family Day," Cody says. "The T.J. Martell Foundation is an incredible organization that does such important work, and I'm honored to perform at their event."

Family Day will be hosted by Bridgit Mendler and Carrie Keagan of VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live and will take place on April 22 at Roseland Ballroom in New York City. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit tjmartellfoundation.org.

If you live in the New York City-area, are you going to see Cody Simpson at T.J. Martell Family Day?

The fun and festive movie Hop, starring an adorable rabbit voiced by James Mardsen and featuring music from Cody Simpson, comes to DVD today!

We have 5 DVDs and 5 plush rabbits (as seen below) to give away! To enter, just send an email with your mailing address to [email protected]. Use HOP in the subject line!

Popstar! spoke with Cody recently about his work on the film—he recorded an updated version of “I Want Candy” (which Aaron Carter also covered in 2000—the original song is from 1965!) for the soundtrack. We asked Cody if he felt like there was extra pressure to get this song right since so many people are familiar with it.

“Yes! I was like, ‘Oh no! I have to live up to everyone’s expectations!’” says Cody. “It’s such a great song and all the parents know it so when their kids are listening to it they’ll be like, ‘Who is this guy trying to remake my favorite song?’ So it’s a lot of pressure on me in that way, but I think I put more pressure on myself then they did. I try to stay relaxed.”

Cody also told us that Hop was his first movie premiere!

“I didn’t know what was going on,” explains Cody. “I was very new to the industry thing. I was just this kid from Australia who was kind of introduced to this whole other world. I’ve adapted to the craziness of Hollywood now. It was a very cool experience and I love new things and I love being able to experience things that most people don’t get the opportunity to do.”

On the eve of his appearance (and nomination!) at the US Kid's Choice Awards in LA, Cody took time out to chat to us.

Cody: This is my first nomination for a US KCA award. It was huge thrill for me to win 3 awards last year at the Aussie KCAs and to perform at the award show and to now get some recognition in the US KCAs feels great. Feels like I must be doing something right!

What do you look forward to when attending the KCA?

There is always so much energy in the room. The hosts are always hilarious, the performances always great and it is grand seeing people of all ages laughing and having fun. It seems like you can’t be too young or too old to enjoy the show.

What is something not even your most loyal fans know about you?

I'd rather just stay a mystery!

Do you miss Australia? Or would you call yourself a US citizen now that you spend so much time there?

The status on my work visa in USA says: O1 - Alien of Extraordinary Ability; weird huh? So I guess that means I am not considered a US citizen! Perhaps a citizen of Mars! Haha. I am enjoying living in the US and doing what I love to do with my career however I will always call Australia home.

What do you miss the most about Australia?

My friends and family back home mean so much to me and I miss being able to see them as often as I would like. I also miss the beaches of the Gold Coast and watching the sun rise over the ocean before going for an early wave.

Right now I am in the studio in LA working really hard on finishing the debut album. I hope to get it out in early June before my tour of the US from July to September. I really hope to be back touring Australia as soon as I can after that. This month we are also shooting a video for my single So Listen feat. T-Pain so we are working hard on preparation for that. Can’t wait to release that video.

If you could work with any artist living or dead who would it be?

I would do a huge collaboration with Elvis Presley, Justin Timberlake, Jack Johnson. They all have inspired me in some way so it would be crazy to be able to have them all in the same room at the same time. Shame we can’t all live forever but these people and their contribution to music will.

How do you prepare for a possible sliming at the KCAs?

I definitely don’t wear my favourite suit! No matter how you much you think you can, there is no way to prepare for that moment when you get slimed. I've been slimed many times. It's cold, wet and slimy. Having said that, I would rather watch someone else get slimed than get slimed again myself!

Who will you be taking as a date to the KCAs?

The most recent red carpet i walked was a movie premiere and I took my Grandma as my date. Grandma had a ball and she became a #1 trending topic on twitter for the day. Hopefully for the KCAs this year I am going to have a good mate from Australia visiting me in LA so I will take him along if the timing works out. Obviously not a date, haha.

If you were to win, what would you like to say to everyone?

My fellow competition are all amazing people and big stars. I am a fan of each and every one of them so I would be truly humbled if I happened to win. My swimming coach always said, "Don't be writing your victory speech while the race is still on".

The US Nick Kid's Choice Awards will be held in LA on March 31st, 2012, and fast-tracked for screening locally on Nickelodeon on April 1st.

It’s been a busy week for Cody Simpson. The tween dream from Australia released a new single, “So Listen,” a collaboration with the hip-hop star T-Pain, and is in the studio wrapping up his first album. And he announced plans to join Big Time Rush on its summer tour. Next on the 15-year-old Simpson’s ascension to pop idol: the cover of a Toys “R” Us catalog.

In addition to being a popular singer with millions of fans, and one who’s helped sell millions of copies of conventional magazines like Teen Beat, Bop and J-14, Cody Simpson is a popular brand as well, with 16 licensing deals for a wide array of products. Toys “R” Us is putting his face of on the cover of its annual catalog, which comes out on Friday, to promote an exclusive line of dolls, clothing and accessories.

“We are thrilled to serve as the ultimate Cody Simpson destination,” said Lisa Harnisch, general merchandising manager of toys at Toys “R” Us, which is planning in-store appearances with the singer this spring. “We want to have everything the tween girl really craves.”

The toy line was introduced in December by a small toy company called the Wish Factory, based in Montclair, N.J. Fashion dolls came first, followed by singing dolls that played clips from two songs, either “On My Mind” or “iYiYi.” More toys are planned, according to Wish Factory, including a singing microphone with a karaoke mode for singing duets with the singer.

The toy line has been a hit for his legion of fans, who were creating their own Cody Simpson merchandise and bringing their handmade T-shirts and jewelry emblazoned with his name and likeness to his mall appearances, said Sara Nemerov, senior vice president for consumer products and brand licensing at the Warner Music Group, the parent company of the singer’s label, Atlantic Records.

“It’s just another aspect of what we’re doing with Cody as a music artist, another branch of his brand,” said Chris Stang, vice president of marketing at Atlantic Records, which is gearing up for a busy year of promotions for the singer. Beyond his appearances on the shelves of Toys “R” Us, his debut album, which is yet to be titled, will be released this summer from Atlantic, and his tour starts on July 5 in Columbus, Ohio.

just wrapped on the #Paradise photoshoot, for the album! very successful day.

Cody och Kylie Jenner har aldrig varit ihop enligt Cody, men ni vet att det gick ett rykte om att de var ihop eftersom de var med varandra så mycket och nu på The Hunger Games premiären så sa han till Hollywoodlife.com att han var singel. Men enligt Hollywoodlife.com så har de tydligen dejtat några måndader. Och då nu så skrev Hollywoodlife.com "Cody Simpson & Kylie Jenner Split: He Tells Us, ‘I’m Single’ " Alltså att dem har gjort slut men egentligen har de inte varit ihop enligt Cody. Hoppas ni förstår nu! :)

HollywoodLife.com caught up with the 15-year-old Aussie singer, who dished about his current love life (he’s single!), working with Justin Bieber and his newly released single — ‘So Listen’ — at ‘The Hunger Games’ premiere

One of the last times we chatted one-on-one with Cody Simpson was last fall at The Twilight Saga:

Breaking Dawn — Part 1 premiere, which was the same event where he hit it off with Kylie Jenner — who he ended up dating for a few months. However, the 15-year-old Aussie pop star told HollywoodLife.com exclusively at The Hunger Games premiere in Los Angeles March 12 he’s currently on the market.

 

“I am single,” Cody confirmed. As to what YOU can do to win his heart, he said it’s simple: “Be yourself. If you want to be anyone in this world, be you.”

We also chatted about Cody’s highly-anticipated collaboration with Justin Bieber and the progress they’ve made on that.

“I’ve been in the studio a couple of times,” he said. “We’ve got some great things. Some great ideas…[but] it has to be the right song. Collaborations I think can’t be set. If a great song comes out from all the work, [then that is good].”

Be sure to check out Cody’s new single with T-Pain, “So Listen,” which came out today and is FANTASTIC. (Seriously, we’re listening to it on repeat).

I only sleep in pictures now, and Alli only smiles.

#SoListen is out on iTunes now!

Har ni läst Hunger Spelen? :) Själv har jag läst första boken och håller på med andra, böckerna är super bra och jag rekommenderar dem verkligen.

Engelska: Cody Simpson has a huge year ahead of him.  His next single is dropping next week.  ‘Hop’, featuring Cody’s cover of the famous “I Want Candy” hits shelves later this month.  His next album is due later this year, and he’s all lined up to tour with Big Time Rush in the summer!  Fanlala got to chat with the young singer.  Find out what he had to tell us!

Fanlala: You’ve got a single set to drop next week featuring you and rapper T-Pain, can you tell us about the feel of the song?

CS: I’m very excited, it’s a little more mature compared to the things that I’ve done in the past, but the fans are still going to love it.  I’ve been working on the song over the course of the year, and I can’t wait to drop my full length album ‘Paradise’, I’m very excited.  I’m actually exploring the world of dubstep right now.

F: You’re like the Easter Bunny of toy stores, leaving your signature on Cody dolls for kids to find.  Do you just walk up to the front register and ask if you can sign Cody merchandise?

CS: Actually I really don’t ask, I usually just go in an sign.  Usually no one really sees me.  There was this one time this worker saw.  I thought I was in trouble, and I just held up the doll and awkwardly said “Oh… hi… this is me.”  It was a really funny experience.  Afterwards I usually tweet about the store and let my fans know where I was and where they can pick up some newly signed dolls.

F: Everyone knows “I Want Candy”, it’s a time honored classic.  It’s been covered by some big names in the past.  How did it feel to be chosen to perform the song for ‘Hop’?

CS: It was incredible.  When they approached me, I was just like wow.  I always put a lot of pressure on my music and myself in general.  There was a lot of pressure and expectations with the song.  But when I sent it in, Universal loved it and fell in love with it.  It was very exciting.

F: Having recorded a song for the movie, why would you recommend families check out ‘Hop’ this spring?

CS: I think they did an incredible job, it’s a genius idea for a movie.  I was so pleased to be part of such an incredible and successful Easter movie.  I saw it with my friends and family in theaters.  It’s definitely a movie that everyone can enjoy.

F: Being an artist, everyone wants to know what you have playing on your playlist.  Can you tell us what your top three songs are right now?

CS: Right now I would have to say “Beautiful People” by Chris Brown, “From the Clouds” by Jack Johnson, and “It Don’t Matter” by Donavon Frankenreiter

F: Every week, we run an app article.  Is there an app on your phone or mobile device that has helped you out lately?

CS: There’s this app called Around Me.  It’s great to have when you’re out and about.  You just type in what you want, and it helps you locate what you need around.

Svenska: Cody Simpson har ett enorm år framför honom. Hans nästa singel släpps nästa vecka. "Hop", med Cody omslag av den berömda "I Want Candy" hits hyllorna senare denna månad. Hans nästa album väntas senare i år, och han är berädd påatt turnera med Big Time Rush på sommaren! Fanlala fick chatta med den unga sångaren. Ta reda på vad han hade att berätta!

Fanlala: Du har en singel att släppa nästa vecka med dig och rapparen T-Pain, kan du berätta om känslan av låten?

CS: Jag är väldigt spännande, det är lite mer mogen jämfört med de saker som jag har gjort tidigare, men fansen kommer fortfarande att älska det. Jag har jobbat på låten under loppet av året, och jag kan inte vänta med att släppa min fullängda "Paradise", Jag är mycket entusiastisk. Jag håller faktiskt på att utforska världen av dubstep just nu.

F: Du är som påskharen i leksaksaffärer, lämnar din signatur på Cody dockor för barnen att hitta. Går du bara upp till framsidan registret och fråga om du kan signera Cody varor?

CS: Faktiskt  så frågar jag inte riktigt, jag brukar bara gå till en skylt. Vanligtvis ingen ser mig verkligen. Det var den här gången arbetare såg. Jag trodde jag var i trubbel, och jag höll upp dockan och pinsamt sa "Åh ... hej ... det här är jag." Det var en riktigt rolig upplevelse. Efteråt tweetar oftast om butiken och låter mina fans veta var jag var och var de kan plocka upp några nytecknade dockor.

F: Alla vet "I Want Candy", är det en tid hedrad klassiker. Det har omfattats av några stora namn i det förflutna. Hur kändes det att väljas för att framföra låten för "Hop"?

CS: Det var otroligt. När de närmade sig mig, var jag precis som wow. Jag lägger alltid mycket press på min musik och mig själv i allmänhet. Det var en stor press och förväntningar med sången. Men när jag skickade in den, älskade Universal den och blev kär i den. Det var mycket spännande.

F: Efter att ha spelat in en låt för filmen, varför skulle du rekommendera familjer kolla in "Hop" i våras?

CS: Jag tror de gjorde en otroligt jobb, det är ett geni idé för en film. Jag var så glad över att vara del av en sådan otrolig och framgångsrik påsk film. Jag såg det med mina vänner och familj i biosalongerna. Det är definitivt en film som alla kan njuta av.

F: Att vara artist, alla vill veta vad du har att spela på din spellista. Kan du berätta vad dina tre bästa låtar är just nu?

CS: Just nu skulle jag säga "Beautiful People" av Chris Brown, "From the clouds" av Jack Johnson och "It Don't matter" av Donavon Frankenreiter

F: Varje vecka kör vi en app artikel. Finns det en app på telefonen eller mobil enhet som har hjälpt dig på sistone?

CS: Det är det här app som kallas Around Me. Det är bra att ha när du är ute. Du skriver bara vad du vill, och det hjälper dig att hitta det du behöver runt.
