Hairspray starlet Nikki Blonsky is breaking into television on ABC Family’s Huge.

The 20-year-old actress will play Willamina, a teen whose sardonic and rebellious nature make her a menace to some and revolutionary to others. Andrew Caldwell, Zander Eckhouse, Harvey Guillen, Ari Stidham, Ashley Holliday and Hayley Hasselhoff also star in the series.

The series, which is based off of Sasha Paley’s book of the same name, is set to premiere on the network in summer 2010.

Huge is about the lives of seven teens and the staff at a weight-loss camp, as they look beneath the surface to discover their true selves and the truth about each other.

Hairspray starlet Nikki Blonsky insists that her family is now closer than ever after her airport squabble with America’s Next Top Model former contestant Bianca Golden.

The 20-year-old actress tells People, “We are a very strong family, we love each other and nothing will ever tear us down. I don’t even need to defend myself. It’s pretty obvious that it was just a big scam.”

Nikki also praised her father, Carl, who was also involved in the incident. She says, “He’s a strong man. He is my hero because he showed me that no matter what happens in life you can make it through. I never expected that somebody would try to use my fame to get themselves fame.”

Nikki Blonsky was just cleared of assault charges (along with former Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden) and dished to OK! mag on how she’s doing.

The 20-year-old Hairspray star dished:

On her celeb crush: “I’m not going to lie; Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl. I think he’s adorable!”

On the sequel to her blockbuster hit, Hairspray: “Zac [Efron] has said he’d love to do it again, and I know Brittany Snow is down for sure. I don’t know about Amanda [Bynes]. I hope she will. I want to put on my Tracy Turnblad wig again and dance my little heart out.”

On what she’s learned since her airport scuffle: “I saw the dark side of the industry. I never knew there were people willing to do anything to get their name in the paper. It’s a shame that someone will ruin a person’s life and beat them up to get their 10 minutes of fame back. I think it’s disgusting.”

On her New Year’s Resolution: “Live my life and not let people get in the way.”
