Nick Love the Kids

By Danielle Cheesman Mar 25, 2009

You can’t knock Nick Cannon by calling him Mr. Carey (he hears you; he likes it) or by poking fun at his pre-pubescent looks (peep the video below, he’s well aware). Never one to take the “no comment” approach—his blog boldly features snapshot images of MediaTakeOut rumors he goes on to disprove, and exposes private apology e-mails from those who publicly diss him—Cannon is making it pretty hard for industry folks and audiences alike to get enough ammo on him to fire an insult. If anything, we’ve got to respect the hustle.

Making history as the youngest writer ever for the Nickelodeon network, and as the first African-American actor to be honored at the Cannes Film Festival with the “Breakthrough Actor of the Year” Award for Bobby, Cannon is now well underway to becoming one successful (self-described) “entrepre-tainer.”

Cannon and Nickelodeon have negotiated a two-year deal (beginning immediately) that will set the 28-year-old behind and in front of the camera. As Honorary Chairman, he’ll serve as creator, star, producerand director of original programming for its TEENick network (formerly The N as of later this year). First things first: he’ll host and executive produce the hour-long special “Halo Awards,” where he and his celebrity friends will travel around the country to surprise and celebrate ordinary teens who are doing extraordinary things for their community.

    I think this is an opportunity for nick cannon but at the same time i feel like he could have stayed with his music business n make more music but as i read in a magazine n mariah carey said its an opportunity to do something new and maybe he will be good in this type of work as an entrepreneur.

    I always thought that he was a cornball too:)personally. He just always seemed goofy and immature but he does have a history with Nicolodean so maybe he will do really well in this role!I still think that the Mariah /Nick Cannon couple match is kinda odd but hey they say opposites attract!

    Is he still a cornball even though he’s f**king Mariah now? lol
