While we’re not totally sure she woke up in a bejeweled leotard the morning of the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, there’s no doubt that Beyonce was ***flawless in her performance on at the show on August 24.

The recipient of this year’s Video Vanguard Award, Bey sang and danced her way through a medley of songs from her most recent album, backed by a squadron of dancers and her own enormous legacy. When she wrapped up the mini concert, before we even had a chance to pick our jaws up off the floor, she was joined onstage by husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy. Queen Bey’s family presented her with the statue for the special award, bringing Bey — and all of us, just admit it — to tears.

Bow down, then check out this supercut of Beyonce being ***flawless at this year’s VMAs.

It’s no secret that we are obsessed with Faking It. We are counting down the days until it returns into our lives, TBH. (Psst, it comes back on September 23.) The three leading ladies and two main dudes hit the 2014 VMA red carpet, each showing off their personal styles. Karmy, whether intentional or not, totally matched. Now we’re even more excited for the new season, K?

Rita nailed it in a white crotched dress from For Love And Lemons. The nude sheer sleeves and skirt were sheer enough that it looked like she was totally just wearing a tiny white dress. And some cuffs. Even still, she wouldn’t have been the nudest person on the carpet.

KATIE STEVENS IN ALEXIS

Katie Stevens was equally as into white lace, though she opted to straight-up show off her underwear. Her dress from Alexis was all about showing off skin and, LBR, we were into it. We were also very into her ponytail, which showed off just how backless her dress was.

Bailey Buntain broke up the lace theme with a bright red Gustavo Cadile gown. She isn’t involved in Karmy’s relationship, after all. Of course she would dress differently, right?

If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards got back.

Last night’s awards show featured breathtaking performances, emotional acceptance speeches and jaw-dropping fashion, but most of all, it featured a whole lotta booty. Bootylicious “Anaconda” singer Nicki Minaj performed three times, which certainly didn’t hurt the bounty of booty, but everyone including Jim Carrey, Fifth Harmony and more got in on the booty-popping action.

In short: Oh my God, Becky, look at this compilation of all the best booty moments from last night’s VMAs.

Before there was Saul, there was Jimmy.

“Better Call Saul,” the “Breaking Bad” spinoff series focusing on Bob Odenkirk’s criminal lawyer, premieres early next year, but production is already well underway — as is the marketing campaign. Last night, during a “Breaking Bad Binge” marathon on AMC, a new clip for “Better Call Saul” premiered, complete with commentary from the show’s co-creators, Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.

In the video, Gilligan and Gould bring up the key question at the heart of the new series: Why in the world does a low-level attorney named Jimmy McGill need to reinvent himself as shady Saul Goodman?

“We’re about half a decade before the events of ‘Breaking Bad,’ before Walter White met Saul Goodman — but he didn’t start out this way. He’s Jimmy McGill,” Gilligan and Gould say of their leading lawyer. “How does Jimmy become Saul Goodman? And why? What kind of problem do you have that becoming Saul Goodman solves it?”

We’ll find out the answer when “Better Call Saul” arrives in February.

With Kanye West too busy to attend the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Saturday Night Live’s Jay Pharoah took on Kanye impersonation duties for the duration of the evening — a tough job, considering that noted Kanye expert and spouse Kim Kardashian was right there to watch the whole thing.

What did Mrs. West think of Pharoah’s hyperventilating take on her husband’s outsized personality? Our split-screen video captured her reaction in real time, from start to finish. She kept a camera-ready game face on for most of it, but not even the TV veteran could completely hold it together for the moment when Pharaoh, suddenly in super-serious mode, looked soulfully into the camera and declared her “the smartest human being on the planet.”
