In “The Maze Runner,” making your way through a maze can be a life or death scenario. Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his fellow Glader gang must navigate their way through the hedges, dodging deadly Grievers and obstacles along the way. That’s not even to mention the mystery they have to solve to try and escape their confinement.

Lucky for you, most real-life a-maze-ing mazes don’t come with mysteries or monsters. Just awesomeness.

Ahead, check out 7 of the coolest real-life mazes around the world.

1. Hampton Court Maze, U.K.

Hampton Court

Just outside of London, the Hampton Court maze is the oldest surviving hedgemaze in the U.K. Its history spans back to its commission in the early 1700s. People have been getting lost in this shrubbery for actual centuries!

2. Richardson Farm Corn Maze, Spring Grove, Ill.

Every year, Richardson Farm in Illinois designs their corn maze — the world’s largest, they claim — to a different theme. This year, the maze pays tribute to the national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” on its 200th anniversary. Thirty-three acres of corn make up this a-maize-ing labyrinth.

3. The Tangled Maze, Australia

Tangled Maze

This is the loveliest way to be lost: the Tangled Maze in Victoria, Australia is a floral wonderland that took four years of development before it was ready for the public. Different seasonal blooms bring back visitors again and again. You might not even want to find your way out, because then ...

YG had big plans this weekend, but he claims that the Los Angeles Police Department is preventing him from performing at two California shows with Lil Wayne and Drake.

The My Krazy Life MC sent a tweet yesterday putting the LAPD on blast for blocking him from performing at last night’s Irvine date and on Monday’s L.A. stop of the Drake Vs. Lil Wayne Tour.

Yesterday MTV News reached out to a media relations representative for the Los Angeles Police Department and was told that the department had no information regarding the matter. However, a source close to YG’s camp told us that the police department put a call into the tour promoter demanding that they add extra police security to the concert if YG was to perform.

The added muscle could cost the promoter an extra $120,000, thus making YG a real financial liability and making it nearly impossible for him to perform.

Our source called the order “unfair,” claiming that the rapper is being judged on his gangsta music and not his real life track record. The source cited two sold out shows in Orange County, plus YG’s recent appearance at the Budweiser Made in America Festival in Los Angeles that went on without incident. His team also reminds that the rapper has done some positive work in the community as well, calling out a recent event where he gave out free back to school supplies to kids in ...

Once upon a time, back in the halcyon days of TV when the Syfy network still spelled it “Sci-Fi,” Saturday mornings were spent in outer space: nestled in the seats of a satellite cinema, watching the worst films ever made with a pair of neurotic robots.

The show was “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” and during its glorious heyday, it enjoyed successful runs on Comedy Central and Syfy, spawned its own feature film, and wormed its way into the hearts of millions of fans for whom the most important mark of a quality movie experience was the small, comforting silhouette of Tom Servo’s gumball-machine-shaped head up front. The premise — one human man trapped in space, forced to watch terrible movies by an evil scientist whose sole goal was to drive his subject insane — was just a setup for the show’s main trio to do what they did best, which was mercilessly make fun of stupid movies until viewers at home were laughing hard enough to wet themselves.

Sadly, “Mystery Science Theater 3000″ was cancelled forever in 1999. But the main men (and one lady) who made it famous live on, to the great relief of fans everywhere. Here’s where you can catch up with them now.

Joel Hodgson

The original subject of Dr. Clayton Forrester’s nefarious experiment, Hodgson’s post-MST3K work included a recurring role on “Freaks & Geeks,” as well as a starring one the voice of Scythe Commander Kane Cooper in sci-fi video game “Darkstar: The ...

If the trailer for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1” was a bit too dark for you, don’t worry, Jimmy Kimmel’s got you covered.

The late-night talk show host just had put his signature comedic spin on the highly-anticipated film by making his own trailer.

“They’re also taking a slightly different marketing approach this time around to try to appeal to people who might not be interested in a movie about teenagers murdering each other,” joked Kimmel in setting up the clip.

In the tongue-in-cheek clip, Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss has to choose between Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta and Liam Hemsworth’s Gale in a new romantic comedy—that would also obviously star Katherine Heigl—called “Cupid’s Arrow.”

The days of wondering whether the Earth’s climate is being seriously impacted by human actions seem to be over. Though not all of our elected officials are on board quite yet, recent surveys show that 89 percent of Democrats, 79 percent of independents and 70 percent of Republicans already believe global warming is at least partially the result of our dependence on burning fossil fuels.

But, there are still people out there who think climate change is not being caused by human action, which is just one of the reasons tens of thousands will fill Manhattan’s streets on Sunday for the People’s Climate March, expected to be one of the largest ever demonstrations of its kind. If you’re still not convinced that climate change is real, here are 7 reasons you should think again:

1. California Is Turning Into One Big Desert

The situation in the Golden State is so bad — with 60 percent facing “exceptional drought” — that California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed three bills that regulate the state’s groundwater use for the first time over. Farmers are expected to lose $800 million in crops this year and wildfires are scorching an unprecedented amount of land. If that’s not enough evidence, check out these horrifying gifs of the water crisis.

2. It Is Absolutely Getting Hotter

The show must go on, and Joan River herself wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Despite the comedian’s tragic death earlier this month, the stage she built on “Fashion Police” will carry on without her.

During tonight’s (September 19) “Fashion Police: Remembering Joan” special, daughter Melissa River’s answered the question fans have been asking for weeks.

“Yes, Fashion Police will continue. We’re going to hit pause for a little while, but Fashion Police will be back in January.”

River’s continued to say, “I really want to thank all of the Joan Rangers for the outpouring of love and support, it has meant so much to Cooper and me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

Joan passed away on September 4 after an extended hospital stay and suffering from cardiac arrest. Recently it was announced that the surgeon who performed Joan’s last operation, a routine endoscopy, was asked to step down from Yorkville Endoscopy.

Due to strict HIPPA laws, the hospital was not able to disclose any of the details that led to Dr. Lawrence Cohen’s dismissal.

The pioneer in women’s comedy was remembered with an outpouring of tributes from friends, family and fans alike.

In a heartbreaking scene to end the week, Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal recount the difficulties of coping with the death of actor Robin Williams. The beloved comedian succumbed to his depression just last month at the age of 63.

“Robin and I, as we got older, we became this amazing bond and very protective of each other,” Crystal says. “And we were very protective of Whoopi.”

Crystal went on to describe how he and Robin kept a watchful eye over Whoopi as she took on her first Oscars hosting gig. The recounting of Crystal and William’s phone exchange brought Goldberg to tears over the unique relationship the trio experienced.

Goldberg also shared a clip from when the three came together in 1986 for the “Comic Relief” fundraiser aimed at raising funds for healthcare for the homeless.

Crystal recently paid a heartfelt tribute to the late actor at this year’s Emmy awards, stating, “I spent many happy hours with Robin on stage. I mean, the brilliance was astounding. The relentless energy was kind of … thrilling. I used to think if I could just put a saddle on him and stay on for eight seconds, I was going to do okay.”

Keyshia Cole was arrested early Friday morning (September 19) in Los Angeles and booked for misdemeanor battery at the Van Nuys station.

TMZ reports the singer allegedly got into a fight with another woman at the West L.A. home of the rapper and Cash Money records co-found Birdman, who she is rumored to be dating.

Cole was released this afternoon after she posted a total of $46,000 in bail—$20,000 and $26,000 for two counts respectively.

Prior to the incident she posted another emotional image:

Technically, Cole is still married to NBA player Daniel Gibson, although the pair split up in March.
