Josh Peck has shared more insight as to why he excluded the "Drake & Josh" cast from his 2017 wedding ... and it has nothing to do with his formerly distant relationship with his costar Drake Bell.

Drake joined Josh for a two-part reunion on his "Good Guys" podcast this week ... and in  Thursday's release, Josh admits he wanted to completely "leave it all behind" because he felt like the show "didn't serve" him anymore.

Josh was 30 when he walked down the aisle with Paige O'Brien ... but now, at 38, he says he realized he would have invited so many more people, including Drake and their costar Miranda Cosgrove, who played their menacing little sister on the hit show.

Drake Bell and Josh Peck teamed up to talk about "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" publicly for the first time --- where it was revealed how Josh first found out about the abuse Drake suffered from their former dialogue coach, Brian Peck.

On Josh’s "Good Guys" podcast Monday, Drake revealed that the investigation into the abuse -- covered in the doc -- was happening during the break between "The Amanda Show" and "Drake & Josh." So when they were filming the pilot for the latter, no one had a clue because Brian hadn’t been arrested yet.

Drake explained he had to return to a place where his abuser was still around, comparing it to having a monster in his safe space -- a place he once loved hanging out at with his costars.

10:12 AM PT -- Drake Bell has since deleted the Instagram post.

Drake Bell is furious with Hollywood for keeping the doors wide open for those who defend abusers -- calling out actor Taran Killam as a prime example.

The former Nickelodeon star -- who bravely shared his sexual abuse allegations against ex-dialogue coach Brian Peck in "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" -- posted a pic of Taran on his TV screen with the scathing caption, "Write a letter defending an abuser and Hollywood will always hire you."

Madisyn Shipman, a former child star known for her work in Nickelodeon's "Game Shakers," is looking all grown up in a celebratory New Year's Eve video ... which features some spicy lingerie and a sexy Champagne shower.

Selena Gomez has come a long way from her Disney Channel days -- just like Zendaya, Miley Cyrus and Nickelodeon alum Ariana Grande, with all four former child stars getting nods for the 2025 Golden Globes.

The noms dropped Monday morning, and Selena snagged TWO -- She’s up for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a TV Series (Musical or Comedy) for "Only Murders in the Building" and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for Netflix’s "Emilia Pérez."

Selena hit up her IG Stories to share her shock over her "Emilia Pérez" nom -- her reaction coming straight from bed as she processed the early morning news. For everyone else, though, no surprise there! "Emilia Pérez" was a critical darling, sweeping up 10 nominations -- the most at this year’s awards.

Dan Schneider just scored a legal victory in court ... with a judge saying his defamation suit against the producers of "Quiet on Set" can move forward.

Dan claims the folks behind the explosive documentary defamed him by falsely implying he was a child sexual abuser at Nickelodeon ... and a judge just ruled Dan's case can proceed.

The former TV exec filed suit against Warner Bros. Discovery and Sony Pictures Television, among others, back in May after the documentary was released ... but Warner Bros. and Sony tried to get the suit thrown out ... arguing the film did not actually accuse Dan of sexual abuse.

"Henry Danger" star Cooper Barnes is being dragged into a legal spat between his actress wife and their female neighbor ... his wife says their neighbor is trying to seduce him and sabotage their marriage.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Cooper's wife Liz Stewart is suing a woman named Jessica Ray ... claiming Jessica's a single mom who moved into their condo complex and developed the hots for Cooper.

In the suit, Liz claims Jessica has been trying to seduce Cooper for a while now ... sending him texts and trying to get him over to her place ... alone.

Before this Los Angeles native in her summer tank top turned into an actress and model, she was just posing and cheesing for the camera, growing up in the '80s and began her acting career at just 4 years old ...

Her claim to fame came in the late '90s from her role in "Eve's Bayou" alongside Samuel Jackson and Jurnee Smollett and just a few years later she landed on Nickelodeon where she played Bobby's bestie on "Cousin Seeker."

Need another clue? In one of her movies, she danced it out with Ne-Yo!

Drake Bell might be returning to television ... 'cause he says he and Josh Peck have dicussed teaming back up in a couple familiar roles.

The actor discussed the possibility of a "Drake & Josh" reboot in an interview with The Patriot-News ... saying the two have talked reboot -- though it would be more of a buddy comedy then the original family ensemble program.

In fact, Drake says he's not even sure they'd play the exact same characters or if they'd play new versions of Drake and Josh ... adding he's not even sure if Miranda Cosgrove -- who played their little sister Megan in the OG show -- would return.

Keke Palmer's mother is remembering the vibe on the sets of Dan Schneider's Nickelodeon shows ... and she says things felt very strange.

Keke's mom, Sharon Palmer, recalled her experiences with Schneider in the latest episode of Keke's podcast, "Baby, This Is Keke Palmer,"

Sharon says  ... "My honest opinion is I thought the whole atmosphere of the Dan Schneider set was very weird, very cultish. The parents were very secretive, and I honestly thought they all took themselves way too seriously."

Kel Mitchell says he butted heads with Dan Schneider on their Nickelodeon show, and things reached a head when Dan allegedly took him into a tight space and unloaded on him.

The former Nick star recalled this alleged tense moment with Dan on Keke Palmer's podcast Wednesday. Kel says he didn't like Dan's writing and vision for "All That" and things got so heated one day, he claims Dan ordered him into a closet.

Kel goes on to describe what Dan allegedly told him ... and according to KM, it was all sorts of nasty things -- most of which he says DS was screaming.

The singer -- who first rose to fame on "Victorious" and "Sam & Cat" -- recalled pushing the humor envelope on her shows ... thinking it was cool then, but grimacing about it now.

The guy behind the viral 'Crazy' trend on TikTok is reaping a ton of benefits after setting the internet on fire with the latest frenzy -- and he's already got a gig out of it ... with the WNBA.

We talked to Stephen Glickman -- who's already famous from the "Big Time Rush" show -- on "The TMZ Podcast," where he discussed his now-viral TikTok sound ... in which he does a slow, dramatic rendition of Gnarls Barkley's 2006 hit, "Crazy." Tons of stars have hopped on the trend -- lip-syncing to his track and sharing something cringe-worthy from their past.

There's nothing cringey about Stephen's success, however ... 'cause he says he's set to perform a WNBA halftime show soon. SG tells us he and his band are gonna fly out to Las Vegas ... where he will perform for the sold-out crowd at the Aces vs. Minnesota Lynx game.

American actress Aria Wallace was just 11 years old when she first played the role of Mandy -- iCarly's biggest quirky fan who was chosen to be on an iCarly web show -- on the popular Nickelodeon sitcom back in 2008.

Aria showed off her cheeky duck impressions to iCarly herself -- played by Miranda Cosgrove -- who is kind ... loves her friends, family and her web show.

"All That" alum Lori Beth Denberg claims Dan Schneider acted inappropriately when she was a young adult ... allegations that he says are blown out of proportion, or outright untrue.

In a new interview with Business Insider, Denberg details multiple accusations against Schneider -- including the claim he showed her porn and initiated phone sex when he was the head writer of "All That" -- where she was a cast member between 1994 and 1998.

Denberg says this all started around her 19th birthday ... when she says Dan invited her to a meeting and showed her porn clips -- including one scene where a woman performed oral sex on a donkey. FWIW, similar claims over the porn were also made on 'Quiet on Set.'
