Okay, so the voice actresses for Flora, Stella, and Tecna have officially been revealed! Voicing Flora is Alejandra Reynoso, Stella is Amy Gross, and Tecna is Morgan Decker. Apparently, Reynoso is from several short films, such as Desert Rose, and Gross has guest starred Moesha and Saved by the Bell: The New Class.

Also, the voices for Daphne, Stormy, and Skye (Yes, they've started spelling his name with the "e" at the end.) have been revealed! Kimberly Brooks is voicing Stormy, Elizabeth Gillies (Jade on "Victorious") has Daphne, and Matt Shively (Ryan from "True Jackson VP") is our new Skye! Interesting choices, no?

Anyone else curious about who the rest of the cast (Trix, Specialists, etc.) will be?

Nickelodeon Winx Club Updates

Credit to Angela's Winx World and Winx 4 Life for finding this out first!

In case you haven't heard, several other voice actors have been confirmed for Nickelodeon's version of Winx Club. Aside from Keke Palmer voicing Aisha (yes, Nickelodeon is officially calling Layla by her Italian name), Molly Quinn, is voicing Bloom and Josh Keaton is voicing Valtor. Quinn is known for the TV show "Castle" and the Disney movie "Avalon High". Keaton has voiced many different characters on several animated films and TV shows, such as "Hercules" and "Bratz".
Ariana Grande (from the Nickelodeon show "Victorious") is also voicing one of the fairies, but she has yet to reveal which one. But, with her brightly colored hair and amazing singing voice, I believe it's either Roxy or Musa.

Also, Nickelodeon has an official Winx page set up on their website! Check it out here. There's also an official trailer, which states that it is premiering this June! Not long left to wait!
So, what do you guys think of the voices and the information we've gotten so far?

Viacom takes stake in Rainbow

Viacom takes stake in Rainbow
Italo toon house produces 'Winx Club' franchise

By Nick Vivarelli

ROME -- Viacom has acquired a minority stake in Italian animation company Rainbow Group, maker of globally distributed "Winx Club" kiddie TV franchise, in a move that will propel the expansion of the ambitious privately owned studio and boost its bridgehead toward U.S. auds.

Founded in 1995 by former comicbook artist Iginio Straffi, Rainbow is an Italian success story largely thanks to his "Winx," six trendy teenage fairies designed with a style that mixes of Japanese manga and classic Western animation, that have bewitched millions of tween girls in more than 130 countries.

Last year, Viacom's Nikelodeon and Rainbow announced a global content-based partnership centered around "Winx Club" under which Nickelodeon secured TV and merchandising rights in the U.S. and pay TV rights for Latin America, Canada, U.K., and several other territories.

That partnership now expands to co-development and co-production of seasons five and six of "Winx Club," and to two existing theatrical "Winx" movie titles, CGI feature "Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom" and "Winx Club 3D: Magic Adventure," which are now likely to be released Stateside via Paramount.

Neither financial terms nor the entity of the Viacom stake were disclosed.

According to Italian financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore, the Viacom stake in Rainbow is said to amount to 30%, allowing Straffi to stay in full control, with plans for a Rainbow Group flotation to follow.

Rainbow, which is based in the small central Italian city of Loreto, with a production outpost in Singapore, also makes the series "Tommy and Oscar," "Prezzy," "Monster Allergy" and, most recently, "Huntik Secrets and Seekers."

The group, which has emulated the Disney model, on a much smaller scale, also has a Rome theme park, called MagicLand, in the works based on the "Winx" franchise and other Rainbow properties.

Viacom is the owner of Nickelodeon, and Nickelodeon is, as you all probably know, now working with Rainbow for Winx Club. And, a quote from Kikurukina Bal Des'cagel from Winx-Fairies because I'm terrible at explaining:

"What is a flotation? A flotation is also known as an Initial Public Offering, or IPO for short, in which a privately owned company decides to issue stocks that can be sold to the public."

Thanks to The Oblivious Prattler from Una Di Noi and Kikurukina Bal Des'cagel from Winx-Fairies for putting this up first.

Keke Palmer Voicing Keisha in Winx Club...

Thanks to Winx 4 Life for finding this.

Nickandmore.com originally posted a press release about Keke Palmer voicing a girl named Keisha in Winx Club. Now, who is this Keisha? I have two theories:

She's a new Winx. (We already have seven, shouldn't that be enough?)
They re-named Layla/Aisha. (Can't you just stick with the original, Nickelodeon?)

Here's the Press Release:

Teen Star Keke Palmer to Shine in 2011 With New Interscope Album and Roles in an Upcoming TV Series and Three Films

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 11, 2011 — Interscope Recording artist and award-winning actress Keke Palmer just may be the busiest 17-year-old girl in America in 2011. Establishing herself as one of the fastest rising stars of her generation, Palmer will continue to star in the title role of the Nickelodeon sitcom “True Jackson, VP” while simultaneously shooting a movie musical, producing and starring in a second feature film, and performing voiceover characters in both a major animated motion picture and a new animated television series. Additionally, in anticipation of her sophomore album which Interscope will release later this year, Keke has already produced a video for her song “The One You Call.”

The three-time NAACP Image Award winner and Kids’ Choice Award nominee for Favorite TV Actress is currently filming Joyful Noise starring Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton and Palmer. Keke plays the daughter of Latifah in the story centered on a small-town gospel choir. She will also be featured on the soundtrack for the movie from the Blindside producers scheduled for release via Warner Bros. in early 2012. For Ice Age: Continental Drift, the fourth film in the blockbuster Ice Age animated series from Fox, set for summer 2012, Palmer will voice the role of Peaches, a young woolly mammoth. Also on tap Ragz, a music-oriented Nickelodeon teen movie, that Keke is both starring in and producing, which is targeted for a 2012 premiere.

In addition, she will record this year the voice of Keisha, one of the magical fairies in the Nickelodeon animated action and fantasy series “Winx Club,” a hugely popular franchise with young girls worldwide that will debut in 2012 with new episodes in the U.S. Set in the mystical dimension of Magix where three schools educate modern fairies, witches and supernatural warriors from around the universe, “Winx Club” first aired in Italy six years ago and became an international phenomenon.

Palmer’s breakthrough portrayal of Akeelah Anderson in the sleeper hit Akeelah and The Bee won her an Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture in 2006. In 2010, she won for the second time for Best Actress in a Children’s Television Show for “True Jackson, VP.” Keke Palmer remains in the record books as the youngest actor to ever be nominated by the Screen Actors Guild in a lead actor category.

Now, if there was another Winx, that would obviously be more than enough. If they renamed Layla, there would be obvious consequences. What do you guys think?
