It's FINALLY almost time to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 in theaters, and we couldn't be more excited! The first part of the film finale comes out this Friday November 21st, so more and more sneak peeks are making their way out to the media. The most recent ones come by way of a movie clip and a release of one of Lorde's songs from the official soundtrack!

Let's start with the movie clip! The stars of Mockingjay Part 1 stopped by Good Morning America recently to share the clip and answer some questions from fans. The clip shows Katniss watching Peeta plead with District 13 to stop the war, and Gale does not agree with the course Peeta has seemingly taken. Check out the emotional new teaser, and keep watching to hear all the very important (read: sarcasm!) questions Jennifer answers for her fans!

Now on to the new song release! If you didn't already know, singer/songwriter Lorde curated the whole The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack! She didn't only choose what artists and songs go into the soundtrack, but she's added some of her own into the mix, as well! Well, from what we've heard so far, she's done an amazing job with it, and the newest released song proves that even more! Lorde most recently released her cover of Bright Eye's "Ladder Song" from the soundtrack, and we can already tell how perfectly it fits with the theme and tone of the upcoming movie.

It's shaping up to look like an incredible movie, just like the first two films in the series. With the movie out at the end of this week, we're sure there will be many more sneak peeks released in the coming days. We'll keep our eyes out and make sure to share them with you as we see them!

This year's 48th Annual CMA Awards brought a new flair to Country Music by adding performances from pop starlets like Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainer, but of course, all eyes were on the red carpet fashions of Country Music's finest. Danielle Bradbery is one country music singer who had the crowds talking! She looked stunning in a black Jovani jersey gown that featured a plunging neckline, Jovani style 22884!

The elegant dress was a great choice for the songstress, who brought some edge to the outfit by pairing it with a fierce ring-to-wrist bracelet, a messy fishtail braid, and white nails. The white nail polish was such a fun choice for a little bit of contrast against her black gown. And, side braids are so popular right now, so we loved her choice of keeping her hair simple, but classy, with the fishtail braid.

Danielle is a country singer from Cypress, Texas and is known for appearing on NBC's show The Voice. She won season four of The Voice in 2013, becoming the youngest contestant to come in first place. Her debut studio album, Danielle Bradbery, was released last November, which featured her single "The Heart of Dixie."

While Danielle rocked Jovani 22884 in classic black, this dress comes in 3 other classic colors: navy, off white, and red. Whatever color you choose, this is an amazing stand-out dress that's so perfect for prom! This gown and all four colors it comes in is also perfect if you have a formal Holiday party to attend. The red color, in particular, makes for a perfect Holiday look! Check out the off white and red colors here:

Danielle definitely knows how to walk the red carpet in style! We're so amazed by her look! What do you think of Danielle's look? Leave a comment below and let us know!

Everything about Taylor Swift's new album 1989 has been AH-MAZ-ING!...from the 1989 sneak peeks, to the album finally being released on October 27th and getting to hear the entire new album in full! Well, as of today, there's one more piece of breaking news to add to 1989's amazingness: it became the first album of 2014 to sell more than 1 million copies in the first week!

Can't quite imagine just how insane that is? Seventeen Magazine explained: "that means that more than two copies of 1989 were sold literally every second that first week. This shouldn't be that shocking though, because Tay is the only artist to have three albums sell more than 1 million copies the first week. #BO$$"

So, Tay celebrated, of course, and she shared her celebration with the world on her Instagram! Watch her RAP...yup, Tay rapped...below to Kendrick Lamar's "Backstreet Freestyle."

Industry experts predicted 1989 would sell 650k first week. You went and bought 1.287 million albums. AND IT'S GOT ME LIKE:

T-Swift also posted a picture of herself from 2002 (she was 12 years old!), and explained: "The last time an album sold as many copies as 1989 did last week, it was 2002, I was 12, and going through my 'braids phase.' #nofilternecessary" Too precious!!

That's not all, either! Taylor also made Forbes' just-released "Top-Earning Women in Music 2014" list, coming in at number 2 right behind Beyonce. #Winning!

We love the song All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor here at Rissy Roo's - not only does it have a great (dance) beat, but Meghan sings about such a positive message. In a world where it's difficult to find pop and dance songs with breakthrough meanings and messages to believe in, Meghan brings to the forefront a body positive message that all girls should keep in mind.

Well, if you've been following the song at all, you know there's been some controversy behind it. So, Canadian singer/songwriter Natty Valenia took Meghan's smash hit song to a whole new message of positivity and inclusiveness by re-writing some of the lyrics! Natty made the song a little more inclusive for girls of all shapes and sizes...including girls without curves (as Natty mentions she is one of those girls).

Here are some of the body-positive lyrics that Natty re-wrote the song to be:

It's not about your waist
'Bout your waist, don't settle
For a guy who has no taste, has no taste, don't settle
It's time that you embrace
You've got grace, don't settle
It's not about your waist, 'bout the size of your waist

So perfect, right? She even re-titled it "Not About Your Waist." Listen to the whole All About That Bass parody cover and Natty's reasoning for writing it here:

If you've never heard the original song "All About That Base" by Meghan Trainor (or just want to re-listen to it), here it is for your listening and viewing pleasure:

We'll be waiting patiently for more songs from both Meghan and Natty! They both have a lot of positive messages to share, so we can't wait to hear more. What do you think of the original All About That Bass and Natty's re-write? Leave a comment below and share your thoughts!

Our hearts were broken when we heard that Bella Thorne and Tristan Klier broke up, after 3 years of dating. But, Bella recently agreed to still go to Homecoming with Tristan, so we're holding on that there still may be hope for their relationship! The two recently posted such cute pictures from their Homecoming dance from last weekend...they certainly look like they had an incredible time, and makes us think that they really are giving their relationship another shot!

Seventeen Magazine explained that they started out the night at Tristan's house, "and took the obligatory all-the-couples-in-the-living-room homecoming pic and Bella looked gorgeous!" We couldn't agree more! Check out the pics:

"HOMECOMING" - Bella Thorne

Seventeen Magazine then explained: "Then Tristan and Bella took a picture in front of their limo with Tristan's twin brother (who's equally as gorgeous as Tristan) and his date!"

"Looking dapper last night with our ladies" -Tristan

Everyone definitely looks very "dapper!" Love Bella's super fitted bandage dress? Get a look just like hers with Mac Duggal style 40308! Just like Bella's dress, this avant-guard dress forms to your figure and accentuates your curves with a deep v-cut neckline.

Or, get that pretty in pink look like Bella's in a bandage dress with Sherri Hill style 32048. This is a short and sexy bandage dress with a sheer beaded lace halter neckline and a beaded lace back with a key hole slit.

The best thing about these dresses is that they are timeless, and will always give you a stunning form fitting look. So, you can easily take either of these dresses from Homecoming to your next semi-formal or formal occasion. Just like Bela's dress, Tristan's twin brother's date wore just as classic and timeless of a dress: a little black dress! For a so simple and classic look like above go with La Femme style 19842. This is an amazing fit and flare dress with a sweetheart neckline and low v back. The dress has black lace over the nude and a sheer net high neckline. The dress has pockets on both sides of the skirt and the back is completely covered in sheer net.

Happy Birthday Gwen Stefani!!! Style Icon & Music extraordinaire!!

Happy Birthday Diva! No Doubt rocker Gwen Stefani became famous for her amazing singles such as "Just a Girl," "Don't Speak," and "Hey Baby," in the early 90’s. As the years progressed we all watched her music career grow as well as her fashion career.

Through the years Gwen has rocked the music industry with her catchy lyrics and crazy fashion sense. For as long as I can remember Gwen has always been a fashion icon. She has donned the red carpet and the stage with so many memorable styles.

Gwen is also quite the philanthropist. In 2011 she donated $1 million to the Save the Children’s - Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Children Emergency Fund. Did you know that she also created an online auction on E-bay? Participants were allowed to bid on vintage clothing from her very own personal wardrobe and custom T-shirts designed and signed by her. Proceeds went to the Save the Children’s Relief Effort. How cool is that!!

In 2011 Gwen and husband Gavin Rossdale attended amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala in this stunning sequin self designed mermaid gown! If you are looking to wear something similar than I would suggest checking out our Tony Bowls style TBE21401!!!

Gwen did a photo shoot for Harper’s Bazaar and let me just say that no one other the her can pull off a sexy Vera Wang bridal gown and a pair of Barbie Pink sunglasses!!! If you want a similar look you can check out our Mac Duggal style 48184, but your gonna have to grab your own pink shades!

Now we get to sit back and watch The Voice and see her true personality. Gwen has such charisma and you can really see that she loves what she does and how she wants to help others reach their dreams.

I absolutely love Gwen! She is sweet, fun charismatic and family orientated. She is someone that I grew up listening to and will continue to watch her grow. I cannot wait to see what she does and wears next!

The newest season of Dancing with the Stars is in full swing (pun intended!), and the stars and talent are great...and the fashion is so amazing! This season's DWTS fashion is particularly glam, though, because the dancers are looking so beautiful in dresses from one of our favorite designers - Jovani! Check out the beautiful dancers in Jovani below.

Six-time World Champion and MMA and UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture partners with Karina Smirnoff wearing Jovani style 94443, a sexy short beaded backless dress with fringe detail on the shoulders and a deep v-neckline. It fit Karina so perfectly, and fringe is always a fun trend to rock while dancing to accentuate movement!

NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip partners with Emma Slater wearing Jovani style 93812, a sexy short beaded dress that features sheer cutouts. It's such a classy, yet sexy look!

Late-night television talk show host Tavis Smiley partners with pro dancer Sharna Burgess wearing Jovani style 93660, a sexy short beaded dress with sheer floral accents. This dress fitted Sharna like a glove!

We're obsessed with all three of these cocktail dresses, not only because of how stunning they look, but because they are so versatile! They're perfect to rock for not only a homecoming dance (so you can dance the night away in style like these DWTS dancers!), but for the Holidays or any other formal or semi-formal event you may have. Which short number is your favorite? Leave a comment below and let us know!

Earlier in September dress designer ALYCE Paris showed a picture of Vine star SelfieC wearing ALYCE Paris style 4410...and wearing it so perfectly! Well, Courtney SelfieC Schmidt and ALYCE Paris have teamed up once again to show us more of the Vine celeb in gorgeous homecoming looks. It's definitely getting us excited that Homecoming Season is here! Check them out below.

SelfieC is looking so glam above in ALYCE Paris style 3615, a perfect sparkly party dress for Homecoming. This fun and bright short dress is definitely a perfect style for an outgoing girl like Courtney! With a fully sequined, colorful jeweled stones bodice, and corset details, it's a dress that is bound to make you the life of any party. This dazzling dress also features a strapless, sweetheart neckline and a full ruffled layered sheer tulle skirt.

For a sexier, but so elegant, homecoming look, check out SelfieC rocking Claudine for Alyce style 2372, a strapless cocktail dress. This gorgeous fully beaded and embellished cocktail dress is one you can wear for homecoming right through to holiday parties. It's such a versatile, but stand-out look.

Another so versatile look that SelfieC rocked is Alyce Paris style 4387, a simple, yet sexy dress. This dress shows off all your curves with its soft ruched jersey fabric and perfectly placed jeweled beading on the strapless sweetheart neckline. Just like Style 2372, this is a dress you can easily take from Homecoming to the Holidays. You could even rock it for Halloween by adding horns, a pitchfork, and tail for a sexy devil look! At only $178, this is one of those go-to dresses that every girl should have in their closet.
