Maybe you love Creed and have the lyrics to "With Arms Wide Open" as your yearbook quote. Maybe you hate Creed and you have a T-shirt that looks like the Ghostbusters logo, but instead of a ghost being crossed out it's Scott Stapp. Maybe you are neither here nor there on the matter (probably the healthiest option). Regardless of how you feel about Creed, their mid-90's success, their mid-00's breakup and their late-'09 reunion, you have to say that the version of the band as rendered in this video is the most palatable (or genuine). Just some fairly buff dudes in tank tops, jamming, hugging, performing amongst flames; it is the Creediest of Creed videos.

If you're wondering what it takes to be Amerie's lover (which is a totes normal thing to mull over on a Friday afternoon) then first you gotta be her drummer. I'm not making that up; she says it herself in her new single, "Overcome." In this video for her new single "Heard 'Em All" Amerie says it exactly that. And it figures; with her classic "1 Thing," Amerie established herself as queen of the R&B drums. If the lyric sounds confrontational, it's supposed to. "Heard 'Em All" is from her forthcoming In Love & War, an album about the highs and lows of a relationship in flux. Can't wait.  As for the video? Enjoy the dancing gaggle of Gaga-looking blondes in Lone Ranger masks! For more on Amerie, check out her edition of "The 5."

For the Buzzworthy Boys Like Girls fans -- we figured there were a few of you -- the Q&A continues: In Part 2 of the BLG's fan-run interview, the guys select new names, had they been born female. Let's all just be thankful Ms. Johnson did not name her son Pierce... (Think about it... or just watch the clip; it could have made for one painful childhood.)

More reveals in store? It turns out Boys Like Girls are huge in Asia; and they occasionally partake in "the group shower thing." Yes, with the possible exception of Bryan, Boys Like Girls is quite comfortable with nudity, though Martin's "naked jumping jacks" probably push limits of good taste... Who am I kidding? Can we see that at every concert now?

P.S. Going on implications, we should not expect a Boys Like Girls-Tokio Hotel tour anytime soon (conflicting hairstyles, you know how that goes...).

When we last left The Used (in Part 1 of our Buzzworthy Fan Interview), singer Bert McCracken was alternately napping and mumbling truisms about God and the Jonas Brothers, while the rest of the Utah rockers mused on their favorite websites. In Part 2, The Used strike back. The boys answer fan-submitted questions about desert island discs, superheroes and how being in a band together has changed them. Altogether a much more somber and sincere chat with The Used. It's like switching the channel from South Park and landing on Friday Night Lights. Bert still snoozes through most of it, though. At least he's consistent!

You may have been reading Buzzworthy yesterday, perusing our post on Birdman's new "Written On Her" clip, wondering to yourself, 'who is that dashing young man on the hook?' Well, he is Jay Sean. He is a British R&B singer who is known from sea to shining sea, albeit seas between Europe and Asia. That's all primed to change as Jay Sean is already making a splash on American shores with his song, "Down." In this new addition of "The 5" find out about Jay Sean's travels, how his life changed while he was dissecting a cadaver in medical school and what he has planned Birdman, Weezy and the rest of the Cash Money family.

In preparation for what will no doubt be a sumptuous main course of a video, we humbly offer this appetizer to Rise Against's video for their third single from their Appeal To Reason album, "Savior." Little can be gathered from this brief glimpse. The video, directed by alt-rock auteur Kevin Kerslake (Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins) is divided into two parts: a performance by Rise Against lit merely by flares, and sub-plot featuring someone dressed as a polar bear.

We can only hope that the video culminates with the polar bear man meeting up with the guy dressed as the disco mutt from Daft Punk's "Da Funk" video. The full video for "Savior" premieres Monday.

It's been a long, strange trip for Juicy J and DJ Paul. Better known as Three 6 Mafia, the dynamic duo started in Memphis, went out west for some adventures in Hollywood, and now find themselves in a dank and damp basement for their new, subterranean-set video, "Shake My." As basements go, this is not such a bad look. It is after all populated almost entirely by silent, scantily clad women. Not particularly scantily clad or silent is Kaleena, part of Diddy's Dirty Money group, who handles the hook for this club banger. She's took the last train to Paris and found herself...in a basement with Three 6 Mafia. Undeterred, she is intent on shaking her you know what. That's the spirit, girl.

It's all happening here. Your favorite jerks, the New Boyz, are back with this homage to the OS, this on-ramp to the information super highway, this tribute to domain names..."Dot Com." Seemingly produced entirely with tools found in your basic Mac applications folder, "Dot Com" is a loving, if vague ode to the wonders of the internet (mostly the ease with which it allows one to talk to their female fans...and their mothers).

The video? Well, operating under the likely wrongheaded assumption that director Matt Alonzo powerbooked this whole thing, you gotta say that the special effects are pretty tight! Faux-Hype-Williams flashing lights! Green screen work that superimposes the New Boyz on to roller coasters at full speed or deep under the ocean! It's like outtakes from Avatar! Your move, James Cameron.

The Boys Like Girls boys took a breather from MTV studio run-arounds to answer BLG questions from you, lovely Buzzworthy readers!

Watch Part 1 of Boys Like Girls' Qa&A sesh, in which Martin Johnson -- who does not unleash crazy sex eyes at all times, it turns out -- along with Bryan, John and Paul (hi Paul!!) explain why they're not quite Lil Wayne-level big. At least not yet. They also break down their favorite tracks off their new album, Love Drunk.

Boys Like Girls also address the dangers of Google images and laments the awkward mushroom cuts of its last MTV visit. Last but not least, Martin explains why he's a "huge, huge, huge" (pretty huge) Taylor Swift fan, and talks her collabo on the group's "Two Is Better Than One" track.

And don't miss Part 2 of Boys Like Girls' Buzzworthy fan interview, coming up!

Yesterday we featured David Guetta's video, "Sexy Chick." Lest we leave you in a lurch wondering who, exactly, David Guetta is, here's some backstory.

David Guetta is essentially Supreme DJ Overlord of Europe's dance circuit (unofficial title); so while David doesn't have to impress anyone over here, he's been winning over U.S. audiences all summer.

Do I need to ask if you're familiar with Guetta's summer jam, "When Love Takes Over," with vocals by Kelly Rowland? How about the Black Eyed Peas number, "I Gotta Feeling," which Guetta produced and co-wrote? So yeah, whether you knew it or not, your summer's been Guetta-rrific.

DJ Guetta's name may come to the U.S. forefront soon enough, though, thanks to latest album, One Love; Guetta has a ridiculous set of collaborations: Of course there's Kelly Rowland -- as well as a remix of "I Gotta Feeling" -- on the album, but he's also got will.i.am, Estelle, Ne-Yo, Kid Cudi and Akon (on "Sexy Chick.")

A little back story on Guetta? He was born in Paris, and he began remixing vinyls and throwing parties by age 15. Guetta became club king a few years later, DJing blowouts in Paris and Ibiza. His renowned "F*** Me, I'm Famous" party in Cannes actually hosted Guetta's initial meeting with Kelly Rowland -- who was shaking her booty to Guetta's mix 'til the wee hours, until she approached Guetta in the DJ booth for a collabo. So nice when they come to you!

So, that's what you need to know about David Guetta. That, and he DJs parties bigger than your hometown. Now go remix your own version of "Sexy Chick."
