Bush in “Vice.” While on Thursday’s episode of “Hot Ones,” host Sean Evans asked “The White Lotus” star if mannerisms from characters like the former president lingered after the film wrapped. Rockwell then explained how he dealt with his “Vice” twitch. “I had a twitch in my chin that wouldn’t go away,” Rockwell said. “And I couldn’t figure it out. It was like twitching right here, and I was taking magnesium, I went to the doctor. I was like ‘what the f–k is this? It’s twitching, you see it’s twitching.’ And it was because I was overworking this muscle because I was talking like this. Everyday I was talking like that and this f–king muscle was getting overworked and that’s what was happening. The day I finished playing George Bush it went away.” On top of asking about mannerisms, Evans asked Rockwell about his knack for playing drunkards or people under the influence in many roles. The actor admitted that those roles tend to be more fun. “It is fun,” Rockwell added. “It’s called impediment work so anything where you’ve got a limp or you’ve got a hangover, you’re drunk. Olivia

While Minton notes that Twitch has at least a small role in helping all big game launches with Drops and other content, he seems particularly interested in how roleplaying servers could play out in GTA 6 in the future. In the interview, Minton says that, with GTA 6, there is a long-term plan at play. While GTA Online is likely to be the biggest draw for the game, he says, “First, the focus will be on the single-player campaign. That will be a key point. This game will likely be the biggest game of our lives, at least as we know it, and there will be a huge hype around it.” From there, he says online will get the focus from Twitch later on, as he calls this period “an even more important segment in the life cycle of this game on Twitch because that’s where the magic begins to happen.” When he’s talking about Twitch focusing

Expansion is on the horizon with new teams joining the roster, and the league just signed a $2.2 billion media rights deal. Casual onlookers might be tempted to attribute this explosive success to the “Caitlin Clark effect;” the natural outcome of a sport gaining a generational talent. But can the long-term success of a sport franchise really hinge on a single player? After last weekend’s All-Star match and its blow-up on social media, the future of the WNBA has come into focus — and the possibilities span well beyond a three-point maverick. At the center of it all is Twitch. The All-Star game is a yearly event where the best players in the league come together to have some fun. There’s a skills challenge where players show off their dribbling, passing, and shooting skills, alongside a dedicated three-point contest. The main event is a game where two teams duke it out, and the players involved are picked through a combination of fan votes, league decisions, and media suggestions. This year saw two teams compete: one

Ironmouse, who is probably the biggest vtuber on the streaming platform, published a video Monday in which she alleges that her former agency, VShojo, withheld a $515,000 donation to charity along with "a significant amount of funds" that she's owed personally. Last year, Ironmouse broke the record for the most subscriptions on Twitch during a 30-day "subathon" stream to raise money for the Immune Deficiency Foundation. That was also the stream that raised $515,000. But because the contributions weren't made through Twitch's fundraising platform Tiltify, it was on VShojo to make the donation on her behalf. In the new video, Ironmouse claims the agency still hasn't followed through with the donation over a year later and it's one of the reasons she has decided to leave and go independent. "I wish I could tell you more, but right now I have been advised to wait for legal proceedings," she said. "As of right now, I am an independent vtuber. I am at a loss of what to do right now." For most of her streaming career, Ironmouse has talked about her

For extra excitement, she will be participating in the release by playing with her character on Twitch. — Lisa Marie Varon (@REALLiSAMARiE) July 20, 2025 Victoria notes that she isn't a gamer, so she isn't sure how this is going to go. I suspect her legions of fans will be happy to see her, whatever happens. She's done it all in this business, winning the WWE Women's Championship twice, the TNA Knockouts Championship five times, and even appearing on a special edition of Family Feud pitting pro wrestlers against each other. After beginning as a bodybuilder and fitness competitor, she met WWE Legend Chyna, who encouraged her to become a wrestler. The Attitude Era and its racy programming didn't always put forth the best image of women's wrestling. It was known for pillow fights, bra and panty matches, and numerous degrading things that just wouldn't fly today. Like every woman on the WWE roster, Victoria had to do her share of bikini contests and other silly things. But she

PEAK exploded onto the scene in June 2025, selling 5 million copies in less than a month. The game hit 102,799 concurrent players on Steam and became a viral hit almost overnight. It was built in a single month during a game jam between indie darlings Aggro Crab and Landfall. The devs shifted from burnout-heavy projects to something smaller, punchier, and more fun. The result is a chaotic co-op climbing game with endless meme potential and surprise developer cameos. Post-launch, the team didn’t vanish. Instead, they got weirder. PEAK devs are possessing Bingbong to troll players Now, they’re hopping into Twitch streamers’ games by controlling Bingbong, the squeaky little plush toy companion. Except Bingbong isn’t just squeaky. He talks. Like, really talks. With live voice lines. Some streamers thought Bingbong was pre-recorded. Until he started answering questions. Others ditched him mid-journey, only to hear a sad, “Don’t leave me…” echo across the game. One player yelled, “Why does it sound like a real person in our call?” Another swore, “Bingbong has a speaker!” In one stream, the dev behind Bingbong begged not
