YouTube stars Mahogany “Lox” Gordy and Brandon Skeie have joined forces, and judging from their brand-new covers of Ariana Grande’s “Problem” and Fifth Harmony’s “Better Together,” they’re killing the game.

For “Problem,” the two tag-team the lyrics, trading off lines in beautiful harmony — all in the company of an oversized teddy bear. The simple video keeps all the focus on Skeie’s impressive vocal range and Lox’s total ownership over Iggy Azalea’s rap solo.

Meanwhile, “Better Together” — which they released on Monday (June 23) — takes on more of a story approach, beginning with Skeie pouring his heart out to an impassive Lox. Halfway through, the pair certainly sell the case that they are better together.

So what brought these two together? Skeie, a 21 year-old independent singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, tells MTV the he met Lox — the granddaughter of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy and sister to LMFAO bandmember Sky Blu — at a Janoskians party last year.

“I saw her big, curly red hair and invited her to my birthday party, and we started hanging out avidly after that,” he said.

He recently released his debut EP 3Words, and promises fans they can look forward to even more Lox collaborations coming soon.

Prepare to “squee” your face off. Mother Monster herself has taken furbaby Asia to a whole new level of cute.

The batpig bae was looking rather glamorous on Tuesday (June 18), rocking her very own jeweled Alexander McQueen mask.

Of course, no high-fashion photo shoot would be complete without a little bling, possibly borrowed from fellow Frenchie-fanatic and celebrity stylist Brandon Maxwell.

“I don’t have time for this Moms,” Gaga writes in Asia’s voice. “Maybe I just keep the bracelet tho @BrandonVMaxwell. How Muches?”

If you’re a ’90s kid and you haven’t been feeling old today, well I have some news that might change that. Our childhood animated classic “The Lion King” just turned 20.

And it only makes sense to honor this piece of history with the new traditions of the current decade. Here is the entire story of Simba’s life, in cat GIFs. Because, well, cats.

Mufasa has a younger brother named Scar, who pretty much resents Simba because now he’ll never ever be King.

Simba gets this amazing ceremony to celebrate the “Circle of Life” (Because, ya know, because he’s going to be King one day.)

Flash-forward a few months, and Simba is already like “I just can’t wait to be King!”

But he doesn’t know how to stay out of trouble, so he’s stuck with an annoying feathered baby-sitter named Zazu.

One day, Simba and his best friend Nala escape Zazu’s watch and wander into the dangerous Elephant Graveyard.

Some big ugly hyenas try to attack the cubs, but Mufasa races in and saves the day.

Scar, who is aligned in the hyenas, becomes overwhelmed with feelings of disrespect and plots to kill Mufasa and Simba.

Scar comes up with a plan to trick Simba into putting himself in danger, by having him wait in a gorge alone.

The hyenas create a stampede of wildebeests in the gorge that will trample Simba, but Mufasa once again races to his rescue. He makes it just in time to toss Simba to safety.

As Mufasa ...

Lady Gaga is no stranger to showing off her assets. She’s been doing for years now (for the sake of art). But today (June 13) Mother Monster joins the rankings of high-profile women who are letting their girls fly free in public.

With trusty companion Asia by her side, Gaga was caught strolling the streets of New York City in a revealing black chiffon jumper.

New York is one of very few cities in the United States to de-criminalize female breast exposure, legalizing the act back in 1992.

Between Rihanna’s bare-all CDFA dress and Miley Cyrus’ heavy support, Scout Willis’ #FreeTheNipple campaign is becoming an unstoppable force of feminine power.

Those smooth vocals, Ed, they just do a little somethin’ to us. And that fiery ginger mop? Well, that just seals the deal.

A Teddie private show sure set the mood for at least one young couple. The “Thinking Out Loud” performer took to Instagram to share the story, and humble-brag about how a beautiful baby girl came to share his moniker.

The couple was lucky enough to win a free getaway to NYC, complete with an hour-long private show by our favorite Lego-man. Lo and behold, the pair discovered they were with child after returning home from the much-needed escape.

In honor of Sheeran, they named their little girl Edelle Elizabeth Lindsey, or “Eddie” for short. How sweet is that? Bring on the “awws.”

Dying for more of Ed? You can catch him and all of his adorable on the “Nine Days and Nights” documentary right here:

Michael Keaton is about to show the world the dark side of fame.

Riggan Thomson (Keaton) is a washed-up actor who once garnered the love of millions portraying film superhero Birdman. Now he must set his ego aside to regain the limelight.

Director Alejandro González Iñárritu introduces the audience to a world where once-superstars become forgotten creatures, lingering in the background and fantasizing about their former glory. (Eventually they all go running down city streets in their underwear, amiright?)

The film, also starring Emma Stone, Edward Norton, and Zach Galifianakis, hits theaters this fall.

It’s been only two weeks since Kim Kardashian and Kanye West said “I Do,” but we haven’t seen the last of the Kimye wedding photos.

The couple exchanged vows at Belvedere Fort in Florence, Italy, with their closest friends and family in tow.

In a first look at Baby North, E! confirms the toddler is sporting a mini-Givenchy dress designed specially for her.

Another photo shows Kanye West addressing a white-clad the bridal party after the ceremony, including Khloé, North, Kourtney, Kris Jenner, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

Khloé told E! News, “The image was taken right after Kim and Kanye wed. We were all discussing how calm and dream-like the wedding was. The peace in Kim and Kanye was undeniable. We all felt as if they had been married in another lifetime. I have always believed these two are soulmates.”

The days cannot pass fast enough while we sit waiting for 5 Seconds Of Summer‘s debut album to finally arrive. It’s only been, oh, three years or so…

To keep us calm — or absolutely crazy, depending on how you look at it – the boys are releasing their Don’t Stop EP in just a few days, and they cannot stop teasing it. We’re still reeling over watching the boys run around in tights while fighting crime in the title track’s music video.

Today (June 11) 5SOS gave us another sneak peek of the four-track EP with the summer-romance lyrics to “Wrapped Around Your Finger.” If you thought that Green Day cover was unbelievable, then you’re going to melt into oblivion when you read this:

Throwing rocks at your window at midnight
You met me in your backyard that night
In the moonlight you looked just like an angel in disguise
My whole life seemed like a postcard
You were mine for a night
I was out of my mind
You were mine for a night
I don’t know how to say goodbye
Making all our plans in the Santa Cruz sand that night
Thought I had you in the palm of my hand that night
Screaming at the top of my lungs til my chest felt tight
I told myself that I’m never gonna be alright
You had me wrapped around your finger
I’m wrapped around your finger (x7)
Throwing rocks at your window at midnight
You met me in your backyard that night
You were mine for a night
I was out of ...
