Watch Out, New York: Kourtney and Khloe Are Taking On The Hamptons

Pack your bags, Kardashian fans, because you're headed to The Hamptons! Well, Khloe and Kourtney are.

On Wednesday (March 26), E! announced a brand new spinoff series airing this fall.

"Kourtney & Khloe Take The Hamptons" will follow the reality star sisters as they take over the upscale New York vacation spot, but don't expect them to just spend their days at the beach, because these girls are also there to work. During their stay, Kourtney and Khloe will open their DASH boutique's first pop-up shop in the coastal community and relocate DASH's SoHo store in New York City.

Kourtney's longtime love, Scott "Lord" Disick, who is from the Hamptons area, will be along for the ride, presumably with their two children, while Khloe will be spending her first summer as a single lady since filing for divorce from Lamar Odom in December.

This is the fourth spinoff of which is currently in the midseason break of its ninth season, which will return June 6. Previous series include, "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami," "Kourtney & Kim Take New York," and "Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami."

No word if Vogue's newest cover girl, Kim, will be making any appearances, but it seems highly likely since she has made cameos in the other spinoff series. However, Kim is planning to take a walk down the aisle with Kanye West this May, so we will assume she will meet up with her sisters after the honeymoon.

Watch YG’s Reaction To Getting Beat By The ‘Frozen’ Soundtrack

YG almost had it all. Last week the Compton, California, rap rookie dropped his major-label debut, My Krazy Life, to critical acclaim. And he would've scored a nice sales feat this week had it not been for Disney's latest cash cow, "Frozen."

"I got, like, #2 right," YG asked about his position on this week's Billboard albums chart, before confirming the final tally. "Oh, #1 rap album, I got the #2 album in the country because of that 'Frozen' sh--. Man, that sh-- got me hot."

On Tuesday, YG and his production partner, DJ Mustard, visited MTV News where they sat down for a track-by-track breakdown of My Krazy Life, which will be featured on Wednesday's (March 26) episode of "RapFix Live" at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com and MTV Jams.

After breaking down his LP, we spoke to the Young Gangsta about coming in right behind Disney's "Frozen" soundtrack, which moved a staggering 202,000 copies in its 17th week of release. YG was able to sell about 61,000 copies of his album, enough to land him in the Billboard 200's second slot.

"It don't even matter, like, it's Disney. C'mon, man, they should have their own iTunes," the rapper joked. "Disney should have a thing where they sell their music on; what y'all need iTunes for?"

The animated blockbuster hit theaters in November 2013 and has already grossed over a billion dollars worldwide. The "Frozen" soundtrack has sold more than 1.6 million copies to date.

" 'Frozen' don't count; I got the #1 joint in the country," YG protested in jest. "You can't ...

Emma Watson Would ‘Definitely Be Up For A Cameo’ In ‘Fantastic Beasts’

Could Emma Watson see herself returning to the Potter-verse one more time? With Warner Bros. currently adapting J.K. Rowling's 2001 book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the actress wouldn't say "no" to a return to Hogwarts.

The actress is currently taking over MTV's Twitter account at the world premiere of "Noah," but took time at the LA junket to weigh in on a return to her most famous role.

"I would definitely be up for a cameo!" Watson told MTV News in LA.

That might involve a little work: the 45-page "Fantastic Beasts" was written as a kind of textbook for Hogwarts students, meaning it predates Ron, Harry, and Hermoine's adventures. So it might be a bit of a challenge to explain why our heroes are popping up in their own textbook.

However, a cameo doesn't necessarily mean that Watson would be playing Hermoine again.

The actress interviewed J.K. Rowling — who is also writing the script for "Fantastic Beasts" — last year for Wonderland Magazine. During their chat, the author joked that she'd be happy to bring back Watson and co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint only if they were off in the background in heavy makeup.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will focus on the book's fictional author, Newt Scamander, and his adventures in the Potter-verse science of "magizoology." For the moment, the project is without a director or planned release date from Warner Bros.

Watson, meanwhile, can be seen in "

Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum Reach For The Stars In Stunning New ‘Jupiter Ascending’ Posters

Warner Bros. has just released the first two posters for "Jupiter Ascending," the newest movie from the Wachowskis ("The Matrix"), each of which features one of the attractive leads in front of very stylized, sci-fi and fantasy heavy backdrops.

The film takes place in the future, and stars Channing Tatum as Caine, an ex-military bounty hunter sent to find Mila Kunis' Jupiter Jones, a normal girl with a special secret that makes her a target for some very powerful people.

Tatum's poster is most striking, as we see the movie star tatted up — if "Cloud Atlas" and this are any indications, the Wachowskis love their tattoos — holding a big gun in a black leather outfit that is one part Han Solo and one part, well, "Magic Mike."

Behind Tatum in a number of golden spheres are enough sci-fi staples to make fans of "The Matrix" blush. On the upper left-hand corner is what looks to be a sinister alien, while the bottom right features some kind of robotic armored suit, similar to the suits from the Wachowskis' own "Matrix Revolutions." Clearly, the Wachowskis are promising some big-time sci-fi action.

Kunis, meanwhile, has the more grounded poster. While Tatum looks like someone out of an old sci-fi serial, Kunis' character is dressed very simply, in a blue and white plaid shirt and black jeans.

Kunis too stands in front of golden spheres, which depict a sprawling metropolitan landscape, an old ballroom and what looks like a Queen out of a fantasy movie standing on a ledge above her people.

And does her costume ...

This Tattoo Artist Didn’t Know He Inspired The ‘Divergent’ Tats

Tattoo artist Nigel Palmer may have inspired the futuristic tattoos in the film, but he wasn't aware of that fact until I contacted him to chat about the tats.

"To be honest I didn't know anything about it," Palmer told MTV News. "That's sort of really nice and I didn't realize that my work is spread around that much. I'm pretty slow at updating my website. I don't really promote myself. I just do my work."

In a recent issue of Inked magazine, production designer Andy Nicholson divulged the inspiration behind the bold designs etched onto the back of Four and the collarbone of Tris: Russian constructivist imagery and the work of Palmer, a British tattoo artist.

"His stuff if some of the most interesting, non-representative abstract art I've seen applied on a body," he said. "That was sort of the starting-off point."

The briefest of glances at Palmer's website reinforces Nicholson's assertion. You won't find any dragons or pinups or koi fish in this artists's portfolio. His pieces of geometric and futuristic, inspired in part, he said, by sci-fi films.

"I don't really do straight sci-fi type themes, but a lot of things I do privately are influenced by things I imagine when I'm reading sci-fi," he said.

That's likely why his work applied so well to "Divergent." Nicholson was aiming to create the tattoos of the future for the film, pieces that look like nothing you'd see in your average tattoo book.

Now aware of the reach of his work, Palmer would be willing to take his job ...

Will Anne Hathaway Catsuit Up For ‘Batman Vs. Superman’?

Retract your claws, Anne Hathaway is coming.

Hathaway, who played Catwoman (aka Selina Kyle) in 2012's "The Dark Knight Rises," made quite the stir with her skintight costumes and chemistry with the dashing Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale). Though Bale won't be donning the cowl again for the upcoming untitled Batman-Superman project — Ben Affleck will fill the role instead — we haven't heard a single meow about whether we've seen the last of Catwoman.

During an interview in Miami promoting the upcoming animated flick "Rio 2," in which Hathaway voices Jewel, a sassy bird who ventures to the Amazon, MTV News asked Hathaway about the future of her feline felon. Might we see her in "Batman Vs. Superman"? Or perhaps she'll headline her own movie?

"I would love it if that happened," she said, but was close-lipped on whether it would be a reality or not.

Check out the clip above for Hathaway's evasive dish on her future in the bodysuit, as well as who Jesse Eisenberg — the project's newly minted Lex Luthor — thinks would win in a battle between Catwoman and Luthor.

"Batman Vs. Superman" is slated for a May 6, 2016 release.
