In a few months from now, Jurassic Park reopens for business — and we have an invitation to prove it.

Director Colin Trevorrow has tweeted out a brand new poster from “Jurassic World,” the filmmaker’s upcoming sequel to the classic dinosaur-driven action-adventure series about scientifically-engineered dinosaurs living in the modern day. And the poster is all about making sure you’re ready for the ride:

Starring “Guardians of the Galaxy” leading man Chris Pratt, alongside the likes of Bryce Dallas Howard and Vincent D’Onofrio, “Jurassic World” is said to focus on the reopening of the Jurassic Park so many years after John Hammond’s first attempt to open the theme park ended in violent failure. Now, the dream has been realized, and it’s about to devolve into a nightmare.

“Jurassic World” hits theaters on June 12, 2015.

Looks like the upcoming biography about Pimp C, “$weet Jones$: Pimp C’s Trill Life Story,” ain’t exactly as “trill” as advertised. The rapper’s widow has spoken out against the work.

“As the matriarch of my family, and voice of Chad Butler’s estate, I feel that it’s imperative that I make it publicly known that we do not endorse, nor have any ties to Julia Beverly’s pending unauthorized biography of Pimp C’s life,” Chinara Butler said in a statement.

“While I did meet with Julia regarding the book, I never committed our support to the project. We are working tirelessly to protect and manage the legacy my late husband built, and this book is counterproductive to our goals.”

Mrs. Butler felt compelled to release an official statement after Bun B’s wife, Queenie Freeman, took to Instagram to blast Beverly for releasing the book without the family’s consent.

Freeman also took issue with the idea that the writer would profit off of the UGK legend’s legacy without making arrangements for any of the proceeds to go to his estate.

Beverly, the founder of Ozone magazine, countered that she had an agreement in place with Pimp C’s mother, Weslyn “Mama Wes” Monroe, before she passed away. She added that she planned to honor that agreement and “do the right thing” by his children.

The exchange has since been deleted, but Instagram user @BallerAlert posted a screenshot of the back and forth between the two ladies.

Naturally, commenters were merciless with their ...

WARNING: Spoilers Ahead!

Everyone in Charming has skeletons in their closets, and the stench has become too rotten to ignore.

The latest episode of “Sons of Anarchy,” titled “Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em,” smoked out two of the club’s biggest rats, even if only one of them is readily identifiable. In one corner: Juan Carlos “Juice” Ortiz, back in SAMCRO’s clutches. In the other corner: Gemma Morrow Teller, whose horrible actions are finally too much for her to bear.

Here’s how it all went down:

Business As Usual

FX

Now that Henry Lin is behind bars, Jax and the club need to focus on what’s still in front of them: August Marks, who strongly suspects but cannot prove that SAMCRO was behind the attacks on the Triad, threatening the gun business in the process.

To that end, Jax needs to bolster alliances with the Niners and the Aryan Brotherhood, as well as make things right with the Mayans, who were linked up with the Lin Triad. He solves the problems by cutting the Mayans in on the heroin trade in Stockton, with the Aryans serving as suppliers; to get the Aryans over their problems working with “brown,” Jax serves up a van filled with Marks’ dead soldiers, appealing to their 1956 sensibilities.

Jax’s work remains cut out for him, with Lin still alive and looking to cut a deal with the DEA against SAMCRO, and with Marks still alive and after the Sons as well. But for now, Jax has friends in ...

Ariana Grande is heading to the silver screen — well, at least her voice is.

On Tuesday (October 14), it was announced that the “Love Me Harder” singer had been cast in the upcoming English-language version of the computer-animated Argentine film “Underdogs.” Joining her are Matthew Morrison (a.k.a. Mr. Schue from “Glee”), Nicholas Hoult of “Skins” fame and the immortal Josephine Potter Katie Holmes.

Here’s Ariana’s character, Laura.

Universal Pictures International

The English version of the Juan José Campanella picture will also feature the voices of John Leguizamo, Eugenio Derbez, Taran Killam, Bobby Moynihan and Chazz Palminteri.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film, which was originally released en Español as “Metegol” in 2013: “centers on a shy but talented foosball player (Morrison) who must defend his town and the girl he loves, Laura (Grande), from [the] nefarious soccer player Ace (Hoult).” His secret weapon? Figures on his foosball table that magically come to life.

Completely here for the animated foosball movie of our generation. “Underdogs” is expected to hit theaters on April 10, 2015.

Watch the original, Spanish-language trailer for “Metegol”/”Underdogs.”

On the Season 2 “Faking It” premiere, Liam insisted you’re only as sick as your secrets. And on tonight’s episode, he and Amy decided — at least temporarily — to remain unwell.

While Shane, Karma and Lauren were busy trying to earn a spot in Hester High School’s drama club, Amy — who’d gotten word that Liam was THISCLOSE to telling Karma that he’d slept with her best friend — pulled out all of the stops to keep Liam’s mouth shut. In her eyes, coming clean to Karma would only hurt her, and that was reason enough to keep the wool pulled over her eyes.

Still, Liam saw things differently. Besides the fact that the guilt of deceiving his crush was eating him alive, the lies that lined the walls of the Booker household were a constant reminder of how toxic deceit can be (his sister is…his mom?!). And when Amy saw for herself just what a tangled web Liam’s family had woven, she finally understood where he was coming from.

Ultimately, though, Liam conceded and told Amy that he’d keep their tryst under wraps. But doesn’t he have a right to air his and Amy’s dirty laundry? Or is sparing Karma the pain of discovering her favorite people’s secret for the best? Take our poll, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Calvin Harris is kicking it old school with his new music video for “Slow Acid.”

The latest track released off of Motion drops both the vocals and the radio-friendly pop sound of his recent hits, returning to EDM’s more Prodigy-esque roots.

The clip also has a certain “Smack My Bitch Up” quality to it, as it follows a silver-painted woman on an all-night bender, complete with blazing guns and a convenience store robbery. Coupled with the pulse of the music, it’s all pretty trippy.

“Slow Acid” takes a wide turn away from Harris’ recent singles. The VMA-nominated “Summer” topped the charts with its feel-good beats and catchy melody, and the soulful “Blame” featuring John Newman was equally ready-made for radio.

As Harris recently revealed, Ellie Goulding, Gwen Stefani, Tinashe, Haim and Big Sean will all appear on his fourth studio album. Motion drops November 4.

Any high school physics student knows Newton’s third law — every action has an equal and opposite reaction — by heart. And on tonight’s “Awkward” episode, Tamara proved the theory with a new virtual project.

After the newest cheerleader and her best pal Jenna discovered the school’s male jocks had been rating their female classmates’ looks in an old phone book, T decided to give the guys a taste of their own medicine. So without a second thought (and apparently after taking a night course in HTML), Tamara created her very own “dude database,” a system through which Palos Hills’ ladies could anonymously rate their former dates with objectifying hashtags. And, like a collection of lumber at a PHHS gathering that night, it spread like wildfire.

T, for one, decided to label her recent hookup Pete, #NothingUpstairs, an honor Jenna suggested she pair with #NothingDownstairs. And Matty, who’d torn Jenna to shreds as a sophomore in the phone book, soon found himself with a #ManWhoreMcKibben moniker. We’re willing to bet there’s more to come from the DD, too — take a look at our predictions of what each gal will say about each guy, and tell us if you’ve ever been a part of something similar.

Label beef won’t stop the Tyga show from T-Raww-ing ahead.

On Tuesday (October 14), less than a week after airing out his frustrations with Young Money on Twitter, the California native has released the highly anticipated Kanye West-produced banger, “40 Mill.”

Last Kings Music

Longtime ‘Ye collaborator Mike Dean shares the production billing on the sinister, bass-heavy track.

Not surprisingly, the beat is multilayered and complex in its simplicity — oh, and it knocks!

The “Real Deal” MC holds up his end of the bargain, too, with a succinct flow and dexterous lyrics.

“Take your b–ch, we ain’t even swingers/ N—a try your luck, think it’s all entertainment/ You all in arraignment, snitches to the plaintiff/ Who, what, where, my n—-s stay nameless,” he raps.

Hopefully, now that the single has dropped, this means that Tyga’s new LP, The Gold Album, will get back on track for its scheduled November 18 release date.

“40 Mill” is ready for download on iTunes now.

Are we one step closer to a Drake and Murda Mook battle?

If Drizzy takes the latest bait, we sure are.

During the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards, which aired Tuesday night (October 14), Mook called out the Young Money MC during the live cypher portion of the show — while rapping over Drake’s “0-100/The Catch Up” beat.

The New York native didn’t mince words: “King of battle rap, comfortable in first place/ Here, finish line is all mine, heard Drake?/ How you flashbackin’ to actin’, it’s real here/ Cripple your career, put it back in a wheelchair/ Get killed here/ Ain’t no chill here/ My demeanor/ Don’t play the field here/ De-gras-si, it ain’t greener.”

The lyrical jabs come a couple months after talk of a potential battle between the two rappers first surfaced. It all started when the two were at a club and the Nothing Was The Same rapper served up a challenge to the respected battle-tested vet.

“It came out of nowhere,” Mook told MTV News before the BET Hip Hop Awards, when he walked the carpet. “A couple drinks start floating around, and then he just came out of nowhere and said he would battle me.”

Drizzy thought it could be the “biggest battle in history,” and Mook may have agreed — partially because he’s sure he’ll win.

“He can rap really well,” Mook said. “I’m not saying he would win. [He'd have to practice] a lifetime, maybe. I don’t think there’s nobody ...

Even though we’re still totally obsessed with that kid who went “full diva” in the background of a live newscast, he may have met his match. Enter, the “Dirty Dancing” kid.

Brace yourselves, because Charlie dances the freaking pants off of the final scene of the 1987 dance-movie classic. Those hips! Oh. My. God. He steals the “sway” right out of “Swayze.” Somebody get this kid a mini Jennifer Grey!

But are Charlie’s moves better than his peer’s? He gets major points for stage presence, but our live-TV diva has the attitude on lock. It’s time for an viral-video dance-off — with GIFs, of course. Who will take home the gold? It’s anyone’s game at this point.

Round 1:

Round 2:

Round 3:

I don’t know, kids. It’s an awfully close call. Leave your votes in the comments below.
