Ray J has been charged after an alleged altercation at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in May.

According to TMZ, the Los Angeles County District Attorney has filed 10 charges — including sexual battery — against the singer for his drunken antics at a bar in the hotel.

Ray J was arrested for trespassing, vandalism, resisting arrest and battery for kicking out the window of a police car and spiting on an officer and released on $20,000 bail. The D.A. also reportedly charged him with sexual battery even though police said that the inappropriate contact he made with a woman at the bar that night was “incidental.”

All of the charges against Ray J are misdemeanors: one count of battery, four counts of resisting arrest, three counts of assault and battery and two counts of vandalism.

Looks like A$AP Rocky has a legal dilemma to add to his list of “F–kin’ Problems.”

According to TMZ, fan Lisa Wade is suing the Harlem rapper for allegedly slapping her during the Made in America festival in Philadelphia.

Wade claims that the rapper born Rakim Mayers smacked her for no apparent reason as he made his way through the crowd.

Additionally, Wade argues that the “Wild For The Night” MC has a history of bad behavior, citing a similar incident that happened to a female fan in Australia.

When the incident occurred last year, she filed a criminal complaint claiming that the slap knocked her to the ground, disoriented her and gave her whiplash.

That complaint was withdrawn, but now she is suing for damages of at least $75,000.

It’s the moment we’ve all been holding our breath for: The return of Taylor Lautner’s glorious, shirtless abs.

After that moment at last year’s MTV Movie Award where all he had to show was a big ol’ beer belly, his abs went dark along with the “Twilight” series. But, for the fans holding strong, Lautner has finally ended the hiatus in the trailer for BBC Three’s “Cuckoo” series.

The “Twilight” star will be replacing Andy Samberg as the show’s hippie male lead, but the show promises he’ll be “just as cuckoo.”

Apart from the fact that it’s “very much all over the place,” Maroon 5 haven’t given us too much information surrounding their upcoming album, V. But on Monday (July 21) — perhaps in celebration of frontman Adam Levine’s weekend wedding — the band has released the official album artwork and track list for the September 2 project.

The cover for the album — which welcomes back original keyboardist Jesse Carmichael into the fold after a two-year break — is relatively simple, featuring the letter neon V illuminating over a desert background.

“I think that’s kind of the idea behind the album. It’s our fifth record. [Five] is literally part of our name,” Levine told us earlier this year of the album. “We thought we’d get back to certain elements that we’d been missing out on for a while with our original sound, but also bridge the gap with the new stuff that we’ve been doing. I think it’s an all-encompassing kind of record.”

V track list:

» “Maps”

» “Animals”

» “It Was Always You”

» “Unkiss Me”

» “Sugar”

» “Leaving California”

» “In Your Pocket”

» “New Love”

» “Coming Back For You”

» “Feelings”

» “My Heart Is Open” feat. Gwen Stefani

B Sides-

» ShootLove

» Sex and Candy

» Lost Stars

Despite its extravagant production and the video’s flashy dance sequences, Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” is a kiss-off with teeth. And when you take out all that glitz, it’s downright seething with attitude.

In her latest installment of Beyoncelogues, actress Nina Millin takes the I Am… Sasha Fierce favorite and turns it into a smoldering monologue. So in case the original is to peppy for sending to your ex, this version is perfect.

One minute, you’re just bicken back being bool, and the next, gunshots ring out.

That’s the tale YG tells in his My Krazy Life standout “Bicken Back Being Bool,” and the accompanying video, which dropped on Monday (July 21).

(That means “kickin’ back being cool,” by the way.)

After a minute-and-a-half spoken word intro, which sets the stage for the song and video with some hood tales of its own, the DJ Mustard-produced beat drops, and YG and some homies are, well, bicken back in the front yard. Before long, though, some rival gang members drive by, and soon bullets dart back-and-forth. And that’s not bool. Or cool.

Things don’t particularly turn around during the second verse, as the Compton native and others get chased by the cops.

YG makes it through the day, but the Alex Nazari-directed video can serve as a reminder and an illustration of the dangers and potential perils of gang and gun culture.

You DO NOT talk about “Fight Club.” Thankfully, Chuck Palahniuk will be breaking that cardinal rule with his highly-anticipated sequel, “Fight Club 2.”

According to USA Today, the author will collaborate with interior artist Cameron Stewart and cover artist David Mack to create a 10-issue comic maxiseries for Dark Horse Comics.

The comic series will bring back the book’s central characters, the unnamed narrator, Marla Singer and Tyler Durden, and will explore the narrator failing his 9-year old son Junior in the same way that his father failed him.

“The original book was such a tirade against fathers — everything I had thought my father had not done combined with everything my peers were griping about their fathers,” Palahniuk told USA Today. “Now to find myself at the age that my father was when I was trashing him made me want to revisit it from the father’s perspective and see if things were any better and why it repeats like that.”

The sequel featuring bare-knuckle brawls and romanticized anarchy was birthed at last year’s Comic-Con in New York.

“I messed up and said I was doing the sequel in front of 1,500 geeks with telephones,” Palahniuk said. “Suddenly, there was this big scramble to honor my word.”

“Fight Club 2″ will hit stores on April 8, 2015.

She’s back at it.

Just a week after snapping on the remix to “No Flex Zone” and having some fun on Cam’ron’s “So Bad,” Nicki Minaj does a little of both on August Alsina’s “No Love (Remix).”

After Nicki teased the track on social media over the last few days, the new version of the favorite from Alsina’s Testimony album dropped on Monday (July 21), with Ms. Minaj hopping on the track with that lovely singing voice of hers.

“August you know I’m here to save you/ Me and them girls, we ain’t the same, boo/ You know I hate it when you leave me,” she sings, making everyone listening wonder why someone would dare leave the Young Money MC.

Then it’s on to the raps: “You can’t treat me like you treat them/ Yes, I am the creme de la creme/ Yes, I am from one to ten, ten,” she raps.

Tell ‘em.

Today the stars aligned, the heavens parted, the skinny jeans were miraculously zipped into, the hair was gelled, and the all-girl audience was glossed and ready to lose their voices, their mind, and s**t when 5 Seconds Of Summer graced the MTV Newsroom for a #blessed 30-minute “Live From MTV” special.

The VMA Artist To Watch nominees and performers stripped down “Amnesia,” answered fan questions (including one about SHIPPING AND READING YOUR FAN FIC!), and sweetly agreed to pile on multiple pairs of underwear and shove Chinese dumplings into their mouths. And obviously they looked so perfect without even trying.

Michael and Luke playing an acoustic version of “Amnesia”: PERFECT!

5SOS eating Chinese food: PERFECT!

5SOS trying on underwear and thongs? SO PERFECT!

Ashton helping Calum with his undies? TOO PERFECT!

Calum and Ashton doing this? PERFECTION!

5SOS making these perfect 5SOS faces: TOO PERFECT!

5SOS making more perfect 5SOS faces: The most perfect! The end!

Two very new “Teen Wolf” relationships seem to be emerging in Season 4: Stalia and Scira. While Stiles soothed a changing Malia off the werewolf ledge during last week’s episode, Scott and Kira shared a dance and a smooch while wolf-sitting lycanthrope newbie Liam.

Love is clearly in the Beacon Hills’ air, and seeing as the bro halves of Stalia and Scira are longtime besties, we spy a double date or two in the near future. That’s why we’ve come up with a few fun-filled ideas for them. Just no impromptu Mexico vacations, please, and especially no ice skating — we def don’t need a repeat of the awkwardness that was the Scallison-Stydia doubler.

1. Baseball game

Between Kira’s lightning-fast reflexes (perfect for catching those foul balls) and Stiles’ love of baseball bats, we can seriously see this foursome catching a Los Angeles Dodgers game.

2. Mystery dinner theater

Whether determining the fate of Derek‘s Benjamin Button status or getting to the bottom of the mysterious “Teen Wolf” hit list, this crew loves themselves a good mystery, especially the whodunit kind.

3. Ballroom dancing

While Scira clearly has a leg up on Stalia in the dancing department, Stiles has done his fair share of two-steppin’. Something also tells us that Malia could benefit from a dance lesson or five, after running around on all fours for so many years.

4. Haunted house
