“The Maze Runner,” the movie adaptation of James Dashner’s best selling novel, doesn’t open until September 19. Which means you have plenty of time to prep for the trippy, twisty movie starring “Teen Wolf” hunk Dylan O’Brien, MTV Movie Award winner Will Poulter, and also some other guys we can’t make all about us.

To get you ready to run the maze, Random House (via Delacorte Books for Young Readers) is releasing two volumes on August 5 that tie into the movie. The first is called “Inside The Maze Runner: The Guide To The Glade,” after the home of the amnesiac boys at the center of the story.

The book will include over 100 photos from the movie, details about the whole “Maze Runner” series, and profiles on the characters and actors.

The second is a re-release of the novel that started it all, “The Maze Runner,” with a new trade dress copying the poster for the movie. As you might be able to read (hopefully, if you’re thinking about picking up books, you can read. Also if you are reading this), the novel now comes packaged with stickers and photos from the movie.

And though it doesn’t have a movie tie-in, the four book series will be released in a box set on July 8. You’ll be able to pick up all of these in finer book stores near you, and stay tuned for plenty more “Maze Runner” as we get closer to the September premiere!

In case you missed it, birthday girl Ariana Grande rang in her 21st with a particularly emotionally gratifying night of television (the only real way to celebrate) last night (June 25). Her older brother, Frankie, made his “Big Brother” season 16 debut, and totally pulled a number on us all by winning the first competition of the season, and becoming the official “Head of Household.”

“Holy s— he won hoh i’m a mess,” Grande tweeted. “He needs to form another alliance immediately.”

But even before Frankie won the HoH competition by standing on a moving log in his underwear while being repeatedly squirted in the eyes with sunscreen (if this sounds strange to you, you clearly haven’t been watching enough “Big Brother”), he won our hearts by somehow not being the most annoying contestant introduced last night. Heck, he wasn’t even in the top five! So to celebrate the lovable Frankie and his birthday girl sister, here are some reasons why he might win season 16 of “Big Brother”:

He Has His Sister’s Twitter Army On His Side
Last season on “Big Brother,” an MVP twist earned the ire of many when the sister of popular player Rachel Reilly, Elissa Slater, won every week due to her sister’s loyal following. We don’t have that twist this year, but there is a “Team America” twist where three players will be voted into a secret, fan-controlled group that will go on “secret missions” for the show. Something tells us that Ariana’s very large and loyal ...

Demi Lovato promised her video for “Really Don’t Care” would be a “celebration” and she wasn’t kidding.

The singer brought her pop-power anthem to life by taking over Los Angeles’ Gay Pride Parade on June 8 to sing with the crowd, party with her friends and brush off all those haters.

The video opens with Demi telling the crowd that a protester at the parade “has a burn in hell poster’ and that “you don’t have to hate because my Jesus loves all.”

The pop star, dressed in leather with rainbow hair, then opens with her song as she marches down the parade on a float as LGBT supporters surround her dancing, celebrating and proudly belting out the lyrics.

But the thousands in the crowd weren’t the only ones stealing scenes. Demi promised MTV News to watch out for a special guest, but in fact there were several. Taking a page out of her lyric video, Demi’s famous friends, including Perez Hilton, “Vampire Diaries” star Kat Graham, her rumored boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, all sang and posed for the camera. Cher Lloyd also made an appearance as well, spitting out her sassy verse on the song.

Yet, that “badass” moment that Demi was teasing us about had to be when she enlisted Blink 182′s Travis Barker to bring his drumming skills to the song. Demi belts out the end of the song, surrounded by fans, friends and supporters of her strong message.

I may not be a gamer, but I’ve been known to drive a few warthogs, shoot some portals and unleash my fair share of banana peels at Yoshi. So, you know, pretty advanced. Needless to say, I killed it at this new Kim Kardashian game she released on Wednesday.

So far, I’ve reached level 5 on “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” and I’ve already met Kim K, signed with an agent and had my own photo shoot. Oh yeah, and I flirted with this girl’s boyfriend and she is PISSED.

Can you shoot needlers? No. Can you hear Steve Madden in the background? No. Can you match orange candies together? No. And thank goodness.

Here’s what you can, and what I did do:

Ditch My Boring Job In Retail
But make sure you fold those clothes first.

Give Kim Kardashian A Free Dress
Because what would you if she showed up to your boutique?

When Kim Calls, Answer
Don’t forget to pick the cash off the floor when you achieve your goals, like meeting someone or changing your clothes.

Get Noticed At Kim K’s Photo Shoot
How do they know my name already? I’m making waves and I’m only on level 2. Like I said, CRUSHING.

Change My Hair
Wait for background change, check negatives, touch up your makeup. It’s like my real life.

Get An Agent, Because I’m That Beautiful
Warning: this game will give you intense self-confidence.
