Santa Monica, Calif., February 14, 2008 – -- Life seems super sweet at 16 for birthday boy/new driver Jordan Lewis (Lil’ JJ) who’s revving up to escort his dream girl, Autumn (Chelsea Tavares) to a gala party in Just Jordan: “Picture Me Rollin’,” a Nickelodeon TV movie inspired by the hit TEENick series, premiering Sunday, March 2 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).

“Laughter, romance and a life lesson or two come wrapped in a big, comic adventure for Just Jordan’s first TV movie,” says Nickelodeon’s Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President, Development and Original Programming. “Kids will love seeing Jordan experience the milestones that go along with turning 16, like getting a driver’s license and going on your first date.”

Jordan counts on everything falling into place for his sixteenth birthday after he passes the driver’s test, receives an invitation to teen model Autumn’s “Sweet 16/Lash Girl” event and is handed the keys to a hot muscle car, courtesy of Grandpa. Now, he just needs to summon the courage to ask his long-time crush Autumn to be his date for the party. When she makes it easy by banishing her mysterious ex-boyfriend for good, Jordan thinks he’s on the ultimate roll. But “birthday bash” takes on a whole new meaning when he accidentally bangs into a rich guy’s parked car as he heads to the party. The tycoon takes pity on the mortified teen, offering his limo to take Jordan and Autumn to the party. They wind up riding in style, but their trip takes a wild detour when their limo driver leaves them in the lurch at the mini-mart and what starts out as one of the greatest nights of Jordan’s life quickly turns into one of the most unpredictable.

Just Jordan is created and executive produced by Alison Taylor (The Cheetah Girls). Warren Hutcherson (The Bernie Mac Show) is executive producer and co-executive producers are Teri Schaffer (The Bernie Mac Show) and David Hoge & Dan Cross (One on One).

Now in its second season, the show centers on Jordan Lewis, a transplant from Little Rock, Arkansas to Los Angeles, who splits his time between school and waiting tables at his Grandpa's (Beau Billingslea) diner.

Jordan’s pals Tony (Justin Chon) Joaquin (Eddy Martin) and Tangie (Raven Goodwin) join him in adolescent antics while Autumn (Chelsea Tavares) keeps him in check as his hard-to-get love-interest. Kristen Combs co-stars as Jordan’s little sister Monica and Shania Accius as his no-nonsense mom, Pam.
