‘We Found Love’ producer Calvin Harris may have seen global success with the hit song with its performer Rihanna, but now seems to have developed a hatred of their Roc Nation label mate Rita Ora.

The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards received a major boost yesterday when it was announced that Beyonce would be receiving the night’s top honor – the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award – and performing.

For many, confirmation of the latter is most exciting due to King B’s position as one of modern music’s most prolific performers.

What’s more, given the scant promotion for her surprise album, the news brings with it the titillating reality a major televised showcase from the star is just two weeks away (August 24th). Indeed, if the showing from Justin Timberlake (who received the honor last year) is anything to go by, Bey could very well be prepping a 15-minute-plus blockbuster.

That Grape Juice have compiled our picks. Check ’em out below and let us know yours too. You never know who may be watching…
