Hey TWIST Girls,

Three of our fave Victorious stars, Liz Gillies, Ariana Grande, and Matt Bennett have teamed up together to make a hilarious YouTube channel! Yesterday, Liz tweeted that the trio had made a channel, writing, "Since we're constantly filming each other & trying to make each other laugh, we figured we'd start sharing some of these videos with you." The latest vids to come out of WeAreStoopKid have featured Matt being his funny-man self, as he acted angry and wiggled in a shopping mall! The videos look like they're having so much fun, and it really gives a behind-the-scenes look at Liz, Ariana, and Matt's life! They're super funny--I can't wait to see more videos from them!

Let us know what you think of the videos below! Check out our February issue of TWIST on stands NOW for a poster of Ariana!

Love always,

Hey Girls,

The new Victorious video game Time to Shine comes out today! Players can perform in their very own Hollywood Arts production where they act, play instruments, sing, dance, and star in a music video featuring hit songs from the series. TWIST chatted with star Leon Thomas all about the game and what it was like to see himself as inside the game!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: Is it weird to have a video game about yourself?
Leon: It's actually kind of cool. It's definitely something that I never expected.

T: How do you think fans will react to it?
L: I think they will have a blast with it. They will get to play Victorious: Time to Shine and Victorious: Hollywood Arts Debut with our characters. It's cool.

T: Can you tell us what the craziest prank you've ever played on someone has been?
L: I'm not much of a prankster, but every time we go out in a group, they always announce that it's my birthday.

T: What is one of your most memorable moments on set?
L: One of my favorite moments was when we filmed the opening sequence to the show. It was the first thing that brought us together as a group. It was amazing.

T: What can we expect from you in the future? Any new projects coming up?
L:You can expect lots of great new episodes of Victorious and I've been writing some great music. I've been collaborating with some of the best. I'm really proud of the sounds and am excited to share it with the fans -- they're the best.

T: Thanks so much, Leon!
L: You rock, TWIST!

Hey TWIST readers,

We're still in love with Victoria Justice's "All I Want is Everything" video, and now we've got a behind-the-scenes look of how it was made! The video was shot in downtown Los Angeles and stars Victoria and the cast of Victorious. Vic and her dancers only had a few hours to learn the choreography before they had to shoot. "Victoria and her dancers are nuts!" Daniella Monet, who plays Trina Vega on Victorious dished. "They go hard!" Check out the video above for the whole behind-the-scenes experience!

Do you think it looked fun to film the "All I Want Is Everything" video? Tell us in the comments! To find out about Victoria's dream kiss, check out the October/November super double issue of TWIST, available now!

With love,

Hey girls,

Today, TWIST is in Washington D.C. for Nickelodeon's eighth annual Worldwide Day of Play! Nick puts on the event every year in Washington D.C. to encourage everyone to step away from their computers and TVs and to go outside and play! Stars from iCarly, Big Time Rush, Victorious, True Jackson, VP , Supah Ninjas and Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures will be there with us!

Nickelodeon knows that not everyone can get to D.C. to participate, so from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. today, Nick's TV networks and websites will be shut down so everyone can get up off the couch and get active! Ride a bike, take a hike, play catch, go swimming, surfing or skateboarding! Invite your family and friends to go with you!

Check out the video below for more info!

Be sure to check back with TWIST on Monday for awesome pics and videos from the event! Now get out there and PLAY!

Hey TWIST girls,

Victoria Justice figured out how to get her crush's attention in her video All I Want Is Everything. Victoria and her friends teamed up to make a video that her crush, Dean Stanland, just couldn't miss. At the end Dean texted her to meet up, but what happened next? After that cliffhanger ending, we just had to follow Victoria on Twitter. She and Dean tweeted back and forth, but when would they actually get together? Well, this weekend Victoria and the cast of Victorious surprised Dean at Citywalk LA. How did he react? Check out our video!

Check it out: TWIST hangs out with the cast of Victorious!

Have you ever surprised your crush? For more on how Victoria rules school check out the September issue of TWIST, with free bracelets!
