Tyrannosaurus Rex. Brachiosaurus. Triceratops. Velociraptor.
All of these wacky dinosaur names are known in large part due to Steven Spielberg’s 1993 sensation “Jurassic Park,” which has now spawned its fifth sequel in “Jurassic World Dominion.” Supposedly ending the Jurassic Park saga, the sixth film in the series features more characters, more danger and more dinos. Yet, of all those names listed above, one has been absolutely mischaracterized throughout the entire series: the velociraptor.
“Jurassic Park” author Michael Crichton was many things — a doctor of medicine, a trained anthropologist and even a film director. But what he wasn’t was a dinosaur expert.
“There had been a book that lumped Deinonychus into Velociraptor, which is stupid,” Utah state paleontologist Jim Kirkland told Variety. The book in question is Greg Paul’s 1988 book “Predatory Dinosaurs of the World,” which “Jurassic Park” author Michael Crichton used as research for his own novel.
“No one believed that!

The first installment of Shane Dawson’s eight-part exposé The Mind of Jake Paul dropped today, netting Dawson more than 500,000 views in less than an hour and revealing the major question Dawson set out to answer: Is Jake Paul, as many on the internet have asserted, a sociopath?
In part one of the series, Paul himself only appears in a minute or so of original footage filmed by Dawson’s crew. Most of the installment’s runtime is dedicated to a conversation — interspersed with footage from Paul’s vlogs — with YouTube commentator iNabber, who catches Dawson up on all the Paul drama thus far.
Together, the two pitch intriguing theories the series will apparently dive into. Those include the relationship between Paul and Team 10 members (who allegedly must fork over 20% of their earnings in order to be in the troop), and if Paul’s relationship with his YouTuber older brother...

Shane Dawson has spent the past two weeks dropping hints for his upcoming eight-part Jake Paul exposé, The Mind Of Jake Paul, which premieres tomorrow. Over the weekend, he released an extended trailer that suggests he had to go to new lengths to get truly honest footage of Paul, his family, and his friends — including using a hidden camera.
“I’ve never done anything like this before,” Dawson says in the trailer’s opening shot. “This is making me f-cking crazy. Now I get it. Now I understand. I understand why Jake is crazy. Because nobody wants to be completely honest, right? And now I’m just f-cked.”
The trailer also brings in a new player: Nick Crompton, who until this past May was a top executive at Team 10, Paul’s vlogger group. Crompton, as well as fellow prominent member Chance Sutton and engineering head Drake Rehfeld, mass-exodused after Paul brought his father,...

The Paul and Olatunji families may be duking it out in the courtroom after they come to blows in the boxing ring.
At a press conference to promote the highly-anticipated match on Aug. 25 -- when the two sets of YouTube-famous brothers will face off against one one another -- Greg Paul (who is Logan and Jake’s father) was reportedly punched in the head by a fan. Accordingly, Greg is blaming Deji Olatunji -- Ksi’s younger brother, who is set to fight Jake next month -- for inciting the attack.
In a new video on his ComedyShortsGamer channel, which counts 9.3 million subscribers, Deji claims that Greg's camp is suing him for urging his fans to physically attack the Pauls in a now-deleted vlog. Deji insists, however, that the suit is without merit, and that the attack resulted from other factors -- including the fact that “Greg Paul actually assaulted a fan first.
