Some exciting news for all you David Archuleta fan girls (and guys) out there! Even though he’s technically already been a TV star before, and it’s nothing new for him, he still has an exciting role coming up! He is set to appear on Nickelodeon’s iCarly, which also stars up-and-coming singer Miranda Cosgrove. According to MTV.com:

Archuleta will play a fictional version of himself on an episode of the show slated to air in the spring, titled “iRocked the Vote.” The sitcom stars fellow budding pop star Miranda Cosgrove as a teen who runs her own popular online show. Archuleta, 16, will portray a contestant on an “Idol”-esque show called “America Sings” who gets a huge spike in votes after being endorsed on Carly’s webcast.

His iCarly role comes just a couple of weeks after the release of the music video for his hit single, “Crush”. Hes reportedly still hard work on his self-titled debut album, which is due out on November 11. In a bulletin posted on September 29th, Archie tells fans what’s been going on lately:

“I’m just checking in from the studio, but if you’re wondering if I’ve been able to do anything else this last week besides working on the album, I was able to go to the Journey with Heart and Cheap Trick concert last night!! Woo Hoo! Haha,” he wrote. Archuleta said he got to go backstage and meet Journey but was so frazzled by his recording schedule that he forgot to bring his camera.

“I definitely wanted to take a minute to thank everyone again for your support,” he wrote. “I can’t believe how well ‘Crush’ is doing, and I’m so happy that you all like it. Everyone has been so supportive, from the reaction to the song and video to the comments and voicemail messages I’m getting. I’m working really hard on this album and hope everyone loves it!”
