Not gonna lie, Victoria Justice's "Best Friends Brother" may or may not be on our gym mix, and we are PROUD!

Lady Gaga is (literally!) rolling around in 24-karat gold, Miguel will be performing on "SNL," and more!
1.) We've been worried about Lady Gaga ever since she canceled her "Born This Way Ball" tour due to health problems. But nothing makes us more relieved (we think?) than seeing her recover in a 24-karat gold wheelchair. (Just imagine if the Gold 2 Cash peeps got their hands on that thing!) (MTV Style)
2.) Miguel will hit the "SNL" stage for the first time ever on April 13! So don't even bother making plans with us that night. (RapFix)
3.) And speaking of "SNL," remember that alleged diss Justin Timberlake made toward Kanye West during his performance? Well, turns out it wasn't even real! Now, let's get back to more important things... like counting down the day till JT's new album is FINALLY here (seven to go)! (Idolator)
4.) Fun. are ready to take on MTV's Musical March Madness competition like pros! What's MTV's Musical March Madness? Well, it's just like that famous basketball tournament... except it's pretty much nothing like it at all. (MTV News)

Because moving photos are WAY better than not moving photos!
A bunch of really important stuff went down at the 2013 Grammys, and while we think we found some of the night's most crucial photos (aka Beyoncé casually throwing up a gang sign, Ellen DeGeneres checking out Katy Perry's rack, and Jennifer Lopez's leg), what kind of caring pals would we be if we didn't GIF-ify the show's standout moments too? Because ask yourself this, friends: Does a normal photo of Rihanna popping and locking inspire you to whip out your crop top, light some incense, and throw on some Bob Marley? Does a normal photo of Jay-Z doing a fist pump with his "Suit & Tie" collaborator Justin Timberlake inspire you to throw on your high school prom tuxedo just 'cause? I DON'T THINK SO! Need a summary? Looking at photos is totally awesome, but looking at MOVING PHOTOS is wayyyyy better! That said, please enjoy this GIF collection of our favorite Grammy moments! But a word to the wise: Do NOT stare at this post for longer than five minutes. Or at least pop a Dramamine before you do.
Check out more GIFs from the 2013 Grammy Awards after the jump.

Hang out with MTV News and "House Of Style" on the 2013 Grammys red carpet!
There's this little music party called the 2013 Grammys happening Sunday night... did you hear about that too? (Personally we can't WAIT for Rihanna and Frank Ocean to perform... not to mention the obvious question -- who's gonna take home what award??) Well, in addition to gripping the TV/laptop screen as we wait for our favorite pop stars to accept their gramophone trophies, this year we're ESPECIALLY excited because MTV's got the best preshow lineup ever: From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., MTV News' Sway Calloway and James Montgomery will be stationed on the Grammys red carpet, along with "Big Morning Buzz Live"'s Carrie Keagan and VH1's "Top 20 Countdown"'s Jim Shearer. "House Of Style" co-host Karlie Kloss will also be there, making sure we're all up to speed on who Taylor Swift (and everyone else) is wearing.
Once the show begins, late-night ladies Nikki and Sara from "Nikki & Sara LIVE" will be on hand with live LOL-worthy commentary (and tweeting), along with "Best Week Ever"'s Amanda Seales and Nick Turner.
Got all that? So, when your friends ask what you're doing on Grammy night, you'll say, "Watching the red carpet with a SUPERMODEL, NBD!!!"
Tune in to MTV.com Sunday, Feb. 10 at 6 p.m. ET for MTV's 2013 Grammy pre-show, "MTV and VH1 Grammy Night Live."
