Ishowspeed falls for CZN Burak's prank in Turkey
The streamer, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr., was visiting Turkey when he experienced the popular local 'spilling prank' often performed on tourists.
The prank involves a server pretending to spill hot tea or food on a customer, causing panic, only for the customer to realise that the bowls and cups are either empty or attached to the tray.
During his visit, IShowSpeed was approached by a waiter holding two steaming kettles. The server then pretended to drop one of the kettles on Speed, prompting him to jump out of his seat in alarm.
Realising the kettles were empty, Speed appeared frustrated and shouted at the waiter to 'stop f*cking playing' while others at the scene laughed, including the server and surrounding customers. The moment was captured on video and quickly circulated across social media platforms.

Reactions to the incident were mixed. Some viewers criticised Speed's reaction, labelling it as exaggerated, with one user stating, 'It's sad how people like Speed make themselves like clowns for a few clicks.' Others focused on his quick reflexes, commenting, 'Now I know why he's called Speed,' and 'That is totally cool to see iSpeed's speed.'
The prank took place during IShowSpeed's Europe Tour Part 2, which began on July 7 and will include stops in several countries such as Bosnia, Estonia, Poland, and Turkey.
The tour also marks Speed's return to Twitch after years away from the platform, with live broadcasts available on both Twitch and YouTube for viewers to follow his travels.

Jacob Elordi is too beautiful to play Frankenstein's monster
Jacob Elordi is not your typical Frankenstein's monster. Towering, sculptural, and unnervingly serene, he's the centrepiece of Guillermo del Toro's dark, operatic take on the classic tale. Shot on a lavish soundstage built to resemble a crumbling European reliquary, the film reimagines Mary Shelley's myth as a story of broken fatherhood, spiritual neglect, and monstrous beauty. Del Toro, now 60, has long described Frankenstein as his dream project. 'This is the one,' he reportedly said during filming. 'This is the one I want to leave behind.' The set was both a mausoleum and a theatre, a water tower transformed into a vertical cathedral of rotting cadavers and cryogenic tubes, all designed to hold the grief and grandeur of Viktor Frankenstein's ambition. Oscar Isaac plays the guilt-soaked doctor with surgical detachment, performing brutal limb-sawing rituals while muttering apologies to the dead. Mia Goth, as a mysterious woman with her own stake in the experiment, watches silently. But it's Elordi who transforms the film's gothic gloom into myth. Covered in prosthetics designed by Mike Hill, he emerges not as a patchwork freak, but as something divine and defiled, a man sculpted by agony. Del Toro reportedly directed Elordi to perform 'like he's praying,' insisting the monster's sorrow should be sacred, not savage. The result is a creature less enraged and more abandoned, quietly asking the question at the heart of the film: why would a father create life only to reject it? With glowing references to religious art, Shelley's original novel, and even del Toro's own Pinocchio, this is less a monster movie and more a bruised meditation on legacy. And Elordi, beautiful, broken, benched under candlelight, may be its most devastating creation yet. Frankenstein arrives on Netflix this November.

MrBeast to launch 2D animated series ‘MrBeast Lab' in October 2025
MrBeast has confirmed the upcoming release of a 2D animated series titled MrBeast Lab, scheduled to premiere in October 2025. Known for his dominant presence on YouTube and his recent ventures into streaming with Amazon Prime's Beast Games, the content creator continues to expand into new entertainment formats. The new cartoon series is tied to MrBeast's existing toy brand, MrBeast Lab, and will serve as a narrative extension of the product line. Speaking on the project, MrBeast said he has been working on the series for a long time. The show will feature a 100-storey laboratory setting in which he travels through each level, encountering experiments and facing off against shadow monsters. Although MrBeast does not possess superpowers in the show, the action is driven by various creatures he has created. One of the key characters resembles the design of his signature logo, and the series trailer showcases a high level of animation quality. MrBeast Lab takes inspiration from early 2000s Saturday morning cartoons and is primarily targeted at children. The show is also intended to reinforce awareness of the MrBeast Lab toy line, which features collectable monsters, some of which are limited edition and highly sought after by young fans. Further details, including the episode count and platform distribution, have not been disclosed. It is not yet confirmed whether the series will be released on YouTube or a streaming platform. MrBeast Lab is expected to premiere in October 2025.

‘Mayi Ri' does not need a sequel: Director Meesum Naqvi
Fan-favourite director Meesum Naqvi made an appearance in an episode of YouTube series, Gup Shup with FUCHSIA Magazine, where he answered fan questions such as whether Mayi Ri will have a second season and how Parwarish's script was developed. 'When we created Mayi Ri, beautiful things like Aina and Samar happened,' Naqvi said. 'They gathered an insane fan following." After Mayi Ri, the production house wanted Naqvi to cast Aina Asif and Samar Jafri together again. Mayi Ri delved into the life of a 15-year-old schoolgirl who is compelled to marry her underage cousin. The show unraveled the devastating consequences of child marriages, which can shatter innocent childhoods forever. On the other hand, Parwarish touches upon the challenges of parenthood and turns the spotlight on the younger generation's ache for control and independence. Both shows have captivated viewers with their layered scripts and focus on meaningful societal issues. Naqvi shared that he did not want to make Mayi Ri 2. 'What would even be the plot of it, that the couple does a halala and is back together?' he asked. 'That would not have made sense.' 'I made the show against child marriage, and I cannot have negated that just because people wanted the two back together. There will be no Mayi Ri 2 because I have told a complete story,' clarified the director. Naqvi still wanted to make something with the two of them together, and Parwarish was created. The director was not fully on board with Parwarish at the start. 'Two years after Mayi Ri, I didn't have any ongoing projects. Someone in the production house asked, 'Why not Parwarish?' The script wasn't complete at the time so I was a bit hesitant. The people at the production encouraged me to give it a go. Eventually, I gave it a read and loved it!' Regarding the two main leads, Aina had a bit of scheduling issues but made it work. For Samar's background, the director shared, 'We were always sure that Samar would play the character of Wali. The character was designed keeping him in mind, from his music background to his personality traits.' Calling upon repetitive storytelling, the director revealed, 'We initially considered turning Nooray Zeeshan into one of the heroines and creating a proper love triangle. I didn't do it because I did not want to show cousin marriages on screen. We had seen enough of this in Mayi Ri.' Have something to add to the story? Share it in the comments below.
