Find the world of red carpets and celebrities getting ready to parade themselves down a step-and-repeat FASCINATING but have no idea how it all goes down? Well, today’s your lucky day!

Good news for you: Rita Ora and Kelly Rowland have come together on the latest episode of House Of Style in an attempt to demystify the whole thing.

Since Kelly’s been hitting red carpets since she was a teen in Destiny’s Child (just a little girl’s group from Texas you’ve probably never heard of), she’s an expert by now. And Rita may be a relative newcomer, but what she lacks in experience, she makes up for in an unchecked willingness to try anything and everything.

Together, they’re the perfect duo to peel back the layers on getting red carpet ready. Spoiler alert: The devil’s in the details. You’ll see what we mean when you peep their conversation for yourself in this episode of House Of Style!

Reminder: It is 2014.

And Sisqo just released a new song.

And don’t worry, on “A-List” — his first solo song in 13 years — he’s updated his sound since “Thong Song.” He’s got a trap sounding record, so he got one of the trap’s own, Waka Flocka Flame, to spit a verse.

“Whoa, I get the best of everything/ Cribs, cars, clothes ’cause money ain’t a thang/ Whoa, I been on top of my game/ Way past rich/ ‘Cause I’m A-list in this bitch,” he sings with an assist from Auto-Tune. The Brick Squad MC, meanwhile, opts out of Auto-Tune as he spits, “Spent a hundred racks to put three letters in my damn chain/Just do it big like Ving Rhames.”

“A-List” is slated to land on Sisqo’s upcoming LP, The Last Dragon, out September 9.

After last year, it is truly hard to picture the Video Music Awards without Miley Cyrus. Like, there was a time when foam fingers only existed as accessories for sporting events, and to be honest, we can’t even remember what that life was like. There was, of course, a VMA world before 2013, and Miley Cyrus existed within that world. She’ll continue to exist in that world because–YUUUS–she’s attending the 2014 VMAs on Sunday. To fully prepare for her appearance, let’s take a closer look at Miley’s past VMA moments.

Aw, li’l bb Miley in a sparkly Zac Posen dress on the 2008 VMA Red Carpet. Miley nabbed a Best New Artist nomination that year (alongside Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, LOL) and introduced Pink. Maybe her 2012 Pink-esque haircut was inspired by that time she introduced her at the VMAs? We can dream.

Despite the fact that they were up against one another, Miley posed with Katy on the red carpet. She also practiced her tongue-wagging skills, which would come in handy five years later.

Miley didn’t attend the show in 2009 or 2010, but came back in 2011 in a full-length Roberto Cavalli gown. She wore her hair up–maybe foreshadowing that the following year she’d barely have any hair at all?

What’s not to admire about the way Ciara effortlessly blends womenswear and menswear? Part of it is personal preference (girl, we share it), but much of that is necessity: She dances so much, she’s gotta be able to move!

Watch House Of Style: Ciara’s Style Evolution

In this episode of House Of Style, CiCi takes us on a tour of her style evolution with a little help from her team. Designers Ashton Michael and Douglas Van Lanningham, trainer Gunnar Peterson, and stylist Jason Rembert all make appearances and weigh in on how each of them help put together her signature “CiCi Swag.” Watch it all go down in this episode of House Of Style!

While there’s no way of knowing what exactly will go down when Maroon 5 perform live at the 2014 VMAs this Sunday, August 24, one thing is certain: Their music will compel somebody, somewhere, to spontaneously start making out with the nearest human mouth.

From the smoothed-out retro Bee Gees vibes of “Makes Me Wonder” to the gentle dance-pop thump of “Love Somebody,” every entry in Maroon 5‘s extensive discography is probably responsible for about a million makeout babies apiece. Speaking of which, it’s a good thing that’s not how babies work — at least where Adam Levine and company’s bank accounts are concerned.

In fact, if we really sat down and analyzed all five of Maroon 5′s studio albums — including V, which drops September 2 — we’d probably discover that the group is perhaps the most versatile rock band around, at least when it comes to soundtracking your makeout sessions.

Oh wait, we have sat down and analyzed that data, and it turns out that Maroon 5 literally have a song ready for any and every makeout situation imaginable. For example…

1.) “Harder To Breathe,” for when you’re macking on a total makeout n00b who’s blocking your passageways with their gargantuan tongue, and OH MY GOD GIVE ME AIR.

2.) Or how about “This Love,” when you are that makeout n00b. Why do they keep pulling away?!

3.) Are you making out with your fist after gluing googly eyes onto it? ...
