Nickelodeon

A viral video has left fans of 'Ned's Declassified' stunned, and now Devon Werkheiser is opening up about how painful it is to see his former costar Tylor Chase living on the streets.

Devon, who played Ned Bigby on the hit Nickelodeon series, tells TMZ, "Tylor was a sensitive, sweet, and kind kid. It is heartbreaking to see him this way." He says he would love nothing more than to help Chase, but acknowledges the situation is complicated.

"I haven’t seen Tylor in almost 20 years since the show ended," Devon tells us, adding Chase's addiction and mental health struggles make situations like this especially difficult. "Anyone who has dealt with severe addiction and deep mental health issues knows it’s an unbelievably challenging situation if they don't want help."

Tylor Chase -- best known for his role as Martin Qwerly from Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" -- is living on the streets in California and refusing any and all treatment options ... according to police.

Ryan Railsback -- Public Information Officer for Riverside Police Department -- tells TMZ ... officers are very familiar with Chase and interact with him at least once a week.

RPD has a specialized outreach division that regularly engages with unhoused individuals, offering mental health services, drug and alcohol treatment, and temporary shelter.

Shaun Weiss is ready to pay it forward ... after rebounding from drug addiction and homelessness, the "Mighty Ducks" star wants to help fellow former child actor Tylor Chase with a similar battle.

Fans will remember Tylor as Martin Qwerly from Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" in the early 2000s ... but a viral video has shown him now living on the streets in California.

Comedian Russell Peters is the one who showed Shaun the video of 36-year-old Tylor, seen with disheveled hair, wearing a Las Vegas Raiders polo and oversized ripped jeans he holds up with his hands.

Amanda Bynes says a viral video claiming she was pregnant with former Nickelodeon executive Dan Schneider's kid when she was just 13 years old is completely bogus.

The former Nickelodeon star tells TMZ ... the video going around TikTok was not made by her, it's altered and full of BS.

While the viral video makes it look like Amanda is coming out with some serious allegations against Dan, she says it's not from her TikTok ... and whoever made it spliced up some of her social media videos to make up "lies for click bait."

11:32 AM PT -- Drake Bell's attorney, Brittany Staggs, tells TMZ … "At this time, Mr. Bell and his wife would like privacy as they transition into this new phase of their life."

She adds they don't plan on releasing any documents related to the divorce filing at the moment.

Years after his wife filed for divorce in Los Angeles ... Drake Bell is following in her footsteps, filing his own divorce petition in Florida.

On Thursday, the former child actor filed for divorce from Janet Bell in Seminole County, FL, but his petition and its details were not immediately available ... according to online court records. We'll update you once we get our hands on the docs.

Meanwhile, as we first reported, Janet hightailed it to L.A. Superior Court in 2023 and filed for divorce from the "Drake and Josh" star after 4 years of marriage and one child, Wyatt Bell.

American actress Vanessa Baden was only 10 years old when she first starting playing Kyra -- the Kel crushing and sassy little sister of Kenan in the '90s Nickelodeon show "Kenan & Kel."

Vanessa was part of an ensemble cast including Kel Mitchell as the chill and clumsy high school student, Kel, Kenan Thompson as the confident and smart (high schooler) and part-time grocery store worker, Kenan, and Teal Marchande as Kenan's loving and patient mother, Sheryl.

Vanessa was also also a child star on Nickelodeon's "Gullah Gullah Island" from 1994-1998.

American actor Daniel Booko was 27 years old when he played Cort -- the clumsy and good-looking intern for iCarly -- on Nickelodeon's sitcom "iCarly" back in 2011.

Daniel Booko was part of an ensemble cast including Miranda Cosgrove as the kind teenager who loves her friends, family and her web show, Carly, Jennette McCurdy as Carly's sarcastic bestie, Sam, who's a tad lazy and Nathan Kress as the show's camera operator and straight-A student, Freddie.

Years later, Daniel married Miss USA 2014, Nia Sanchez, and the two are on Bravo's reality show "The Valley."

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.

Check it out ... Madisyn dons a black 2-piece and a pearl cutout overlay for a new shoot by director Chris Applebaum. The new video is meant to commemorate the new year, as Madisyn also rocks a "Happy New Year" headband and fur coat for the shoot.

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.
