GTA 6 is still a few months away from being released and as expected, more leaks are slowly seeping out of the security of Rockstar Games. The gaming community has high hopes for the project and the developers have some ideas that could change the overall experience.
Leaked posts have been passed around, and it seems like the developers will make some drastic changes that could impress or annoy the fans. Change is inevitable and game developers should always apply new mechanics and concepts to spice the latest entry and keep it fresh.

GTA 6 has a lot of pressure riding on its back and Rockstar Games is doing everything to protect it from leaks and fake news. However, the gaming community doesn’t share the enthusiasm to safeguard sensitive information and is sharing misleading details that are too far-fetched.
Some details are being passed around that are claimed to be shared by insiders with no solid evidence to support them other than speculation. These so-called leaks are so ridiculous that some fans believe that someone like Andrew Tate is the only one capable of doing this.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Hacks Season 3, Episode 8, “Yes, And.”] Hacks addressed cancel culture in its latest Season 3 episode, “Yes, And” as Deborah (Jean Smart) visited a college campus alongside Ava (Hannah Einbhinder) at the same time as giving an interview to a high-profile journalist who could make or break her late night hosting dreams. When clips of Deborah’s old comedy routines start going viral among the students though, she’s forced to confront the uglier parts of her old standup acts, agreeing to have an open dialogue with students who air their grievances. When it came to tackling the topic, Einbinder says, ” [Showrunners] Paul [W. Downs], Jen [Statsky], Lucia [Aniello], and I are always talking about comedy and the state of things and what we’re doing and how it relates to the world and our world specifically.” Max “We really are all on the same page in terms of where we stand on ‘cancel culture.’ ...

The first trailer for the long-awaited sequel finally dropped last December, and Take-Two Interactive, the company that owns Rockstar Games, has now set a Fall 2025 release for Grand Theft Auto VI.
“Our outlook reflects a narrowing of Rockstar Games’ previously established window of Calendar 2025 to Fall of Calendar 2025 for Grand Theft Auto VI,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said. “We are highly confident that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience, and our expectations for the commercial impact of the title continue to increase.” Zelnick wouldn’t specify a more exact release date for Grand Theft Auto VI, telling Variety, “That [announcement] will come from Rockstar and be consistent with the way they are marketing the title.“

Can you imagine? A beach club location for sale in Cannes in 2023? It felt too good to be true.”

Hacks star Hannah Einbinder is opening up about how the significant impact that starting and stopping the Adhd medication Adderall had on her comedic abilities, and how, until very recently and despite accumulating multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, she dealt with imposter syndrome.
The 28-year-old comedian reflected on her life and career during a recording of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast at Chapman University’s film school, from which she graduated in 2017.
“[This is] probably the number one worst group of people to be anti this thing, too,” Einbinder joked with the crowd, “but I had a bad experience with Adderall.” She shared that she has Adhd and took a “high prescription of Adderall” throughout high school, but that something felt off. “For many years, I felt like it kind of zombified me and took away my spark and stopped me from being present in my experience.”

‘Hacks’ stars and producers prep for show’s overdue Season 3 return by defending why women are funny
At last, our long national nightmare is nearly over.
It only seems like the much-decorated Max comedy “Hacks” has been away forever. It’s actually been less than two years. Overcoming strikes by writers and actors and a health crisis involving star Jean Smart – who won the Emmy for Best Comedy Actress in each of the show’s first pair of seasons – the series returns for Season 3 on May 2. The streamer will roll out two episodes on May 2, 9, 16 and 23 before running the finale of the nine-episode season on May 30.
“Hacks” was something of an Emmy juggernaut in 2021 and 2022 before going Awol due to a 10-month production delay in 2023. It earned 15 nominations in its first season and 17 in its second. It converted six of those 32 nominations (which included a pair of Best Comedy series bids) to wins, including the two for Smart as well as for the show’s writing and directing.

Here it is! Our first look at Disney Junior’s Ariel, the latest adaptation of The Little Mermaid.
Not too long ago, some stills from the series appeared online, but I thought the show had been scrapped. Boy, was I wrong… It’s coming to Disney Junior, Disney Junior on Demand, and Disney Now.
Based on the newly released teaser trailer, this show makes several interesting artistic choices. Some characters look familiar, while others look like they were recycled from other Disney Junior shows.
Sebastian’s horrific, ultra-realistic design from the 2023 film is gone. Instead, Disney Junior has decided, in this instance only, that his classic look is better. Of course. It makes sense.
But what of the rest of the cast? Flounder? King Triton? Ursula?
This show is exactly what you would expect from Disney these days. Flounder retains his ’89 appearance, but everyone is modernized to appeal to the...

In celebration of International Mermaid Day (it’s a thing!), Disney Junior has released the first official teaser for Ariel, its upcoming series based on The Little Mermaid — and it features an iconic Disney villain like you’ve never seen her before.
Ursula, typically presented as a fabulously menacing sea witch, is now (gasp!) a mentor to young Ariel. The teaser includes a shot of Ariel and her friends taking part in Ursula’s “magic camp,” where she will presumably school them in witchcraft. Watching Ariel greet her as “Tante Ursula!” with a big smile on her face will surely...

The 52-year-old singer and actor was joined by his sons Valentino and Matteo at the premiere on Thursday (March 14) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Ricky welcomed his twin boys into the world as a single dad with help from a surrogate back in 2008. He also shares five-year-old daughter Lucia and four-year-old son Renn with his ex-husband Jwan Yosef.
The entertainer has said that his kids are his biggest critics.
“They tell me, ‘Dad, yesterday was better than today. What’s going on with your singing?’ They are very honest, and I appreciate it,” he told Access Hollywood in November 2020. “[They say], ‘I like the dance that you did yesterday. Today was a little bit weak, Dad.’ This is what’s happening in this house.”

HBO’s The White Lotus may be an anthology, but that doesn’t mean we’re done seeing characters from past seasons. Jennifer Coolidge returned as Tanya McQuoid in season 2 after becoming a fan favorite in the show’s first season. And now Natasha Rothwell, who played White Lotus staff member and wellness guru Belinda Lindsey alongside Coolidge in season 1, is set to come back for the show’s upcoming third season.
With the announcement of Rothwell’s return, it was revealed by HBO and Max content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys that creator Mike White plans to bring at least one character back each season. This means that any character lucky enough to survive their time at the White Lotus could come back in the future. While one returning cast member per season doesn’t necessarily equate to the all-star super season that fans have been dreaming of, that...

SXSW can’t get enough of Jean Smart.
The crowd at Austin’s Paramount theater erupted as Smart walked down the aisle to find her seat at the Saturday morning world premiere of “Hacks” Season 3, in which she plays aging comedian Deborah Vance. The Max comedy series has been off the air for two years, during which Smart suffered a health scare and underwent a heart procedure that delayed production.
“We love you, Jean!” an attendee screamed as the applause began to die down. “Love you back!” she called out.
The theater went wild again when Smart first appeared on screen during the premiere, and again —this time with a standing ovation — when she took the stage alongside co-star Hannah Einbinder and series creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky for a post-screening Q&a.
“This show, kind of like Deborah Vance, gets knocked down a thousand times...

The Netflix original drama series Supersex is loosely based on the life of Italian adult entertainer Rocco Siffredi, but most of the life story portrayed in the series is fictionalized. One of the many intriguing characters introduced in the series is Lucia, Rocco’s brother Tomasso’s wife, who perhaps never existed in reality, but the makers have taken some creative liberty to create a tortured character like Lucia, who used to be one of the most desired women in the neighborhood of Ortona, where Rocco used to live with his family. Let’s dissect Lucia’s character arc and her journey throughout the series to know why she ended up choosing herself over being with the love of her life.
Spoilers Ahead
What Was Lucia And Tomasso’s Relationship Like?
In a small town named Ortona, in central Italy, Rocco grew up with his four siblings in a middle-class household.

Berlin-winning Argentine helmer Ariel Rotter debuts his latest feature “A Blue Bird” (“Un Pájaro Azul”) to Spanish audiences in Málaga this week, the film screening in a particularly robust out-of-competition 19 title lineup that include Benito Zembrano’s “Jumping the Fence” and Morena Films-backed “Puntos Suspensivos,” from David Marqués.
Produced by Argentina’s Tarea Fina, behind “Sublime” and Cannes Camera d’Or winner “Las Acacias,” alongside Uruguay’s Montelona Cine (“Nunchaku”), the film follows Javier (Alfonso Tort) and his partner Valeria (Julieta Zylberberg), as they navigate their exhausting six-year battle to conceive a child.
Scenes sit still, sometimes in silence between the pair as they embrace, breathe, sigh, indicative of the love poured into their struggle.
“In the years that my partner and I spent trying to become parents, we went through periods of great uncertainty that strengthened us and wore us down at the same time. The feeling of those years is reflected,...

To note that Gloria!, the directing debut of Italian actor-singer-songwriter Margherita Vicario, is vapid, pseudo-feminist, sentimental piffle would be entirely accurate. And yet, one must also admit that it is at least mildly entertaining piffle, absorbing in the same way that pop videos with lots of dancing and catchy tunes playing in the corner of a quiet bar or a nail salon on a weekday morning are entertaining. If you’re waiting for the polish to dry and can’t use your hands to use your phone, then staring blankly at Gloria! would suffice as a distraction. Alternatively, this is exactly the kind of film you might chance on while channel surfing in a European hotel and find yourself absorbed by, even though there are no subtitles. Indeed, subtitles are barely necessary here given the plot is much like a puppet show or the kind of fable children make up while playing with dolls.

Porn icon Rocco Siffredi claims that after making roughly 1,400 hardcore films — with titles like “The Ass Collector” and “Rocco’s Perfect Slaves” — over the past four decades, he has finally found “the peace of his senses.”
“I could crack a bad joke and say I can’t get it up anymore,” says Siffredi, 59, speaking on a video call from the Budapest office of his Rocco Siffredi Production company, which houses the Siffredi Hard Academy, touted as the world’s first “university of porn.”
“But that’s not the case. Quite the contrary,” the hardworking “Italian Stallion” hastens to add. I’ve asked Siffredi about being — or having notoriously been — a sex addict. And the many times he’s announced his retirement as a porn performer, only to make another comeback.

Welcome back to the big orange room! While it was nice to get more of Torres' backstory, NCIS Season 21 Episode 1 felt a little bit of a backslide for Nick.
He got sober and was in a really good place after all of his sessions with Dr. Grace during NCIS Season 20.
He managed to get past his pain when Bishop and then Gibbs left. This felt like we were revisiting the old Nick.
But hopefully, this is a temporary setback, and with Riva gone, Nick can finally heal. It was terrific to meet his sister.
The actresses who played young Lucia and current Lucia were perfectly cast; they really looked similar -- nicely done casting people!
But the biggest shock of the episode was the lack of the elevator ding.
I count on hearing that ding every episode, and this is the first in my memory without it. I hope...
