REBECCA BLACK ‘HANDPICKED’ BY SEACREST TO PRESENT AT KIDS CHOICE AWARDS

REBECCA BLACK will co-host this weekend’s Kids Choice Awards.

REBECCA BLACK, made famous overnight by her YouTube video ‘Friday’, will be reporting from the annual Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards this weekend according to TMZ.

13 year old Black was apparently ‘handpicked’ by American Idol presenter Ryan Seacrest for the show. Seacrest has already given Black a helping hand by assisting her in signing with a high-profile management company DB Entertainment.

The teen singer was interviewed on Seacrest’s radio show last week, and the American Idol presenter saw that Black and her mother were ‘overwhelmed’ with the sudden pressures of fame, TMZ reports.

Black has recently announced that she will be following up ‘Friday’ with new single ‘LOL’, which according to The Sun is in a similar vein, with the chorus, “BFF you make me LOL”‘

After ‘Friday’ went viral Black endured harsh criticism for the song, which cost only $4,000 to make with small label Ark Music Productions. She told the British tabloid that some of the comments upset her. Speaking about reading what YouTube users had written, she explained: ‘These people don’t know me and it really hurt at first. I cried a little bit, I’m only 13. I thought, ‘Should I not have done this? What have I done wrong?’
