Ke$ha is a bad girl gone worse. Last night's makeup and glitter still liberally applied to her face, she's putting off the morning after by charging right into the next night.

Ke$ha (real name Kesha Sebert) is a California girl. With a musical family, she was probably bound to wind up on stage and in front of the camera but, credit to her, her rise has been hard-earned.

Before going to work on her debut album (due out next year), Ke$ha could be heard singing background vocals for Britney, Miley and The Veronicas and turning up in her pal Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" video.

Now she's on her own, and by the looks of the video for her debut single, "Tik Tok," she plays as hard as it works. It's a down-and-dirty electro jam with Auto-Tune flirtations. Check out Ke$sha's "Tik Tok" video below, and watch Ke$ha's live MTV UK video performance.

"Sweet Dreams" is one of the illest and most interesting, sickest and sexiest singles off of Beyonce's I Am… Sasha Fierce double disc, and from what I can tell after watching this 30-second Buzzworthy Blog preview of Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams" video, it looks like could be one of her hottest videos since "Suga Mama." And "Beautiful Liar." And "Crazy In Love."

Watch the 30-second "Sweet Dreams" clip, shot in Brooklyn and directed by Adria Petty (The Veronicas' "4Ever," Duffy's "Mercy," and Anjulie's "Boom"), and stay tuned for the full-length video, coming soon.

Earlier this week, Travis and Hunter of We The Kings told you about their proms -- Travis had a maje faux pas at his prom after he tripped over the electric cord powering up the DJ booth and killed the music (whoopersdoodles!), and Hunter entered a time machine and starred in Back to the Future!

Now, watch this extra-special prom reenactment video (like the ones you see on the TV!) that We The Kings sent to Buzzworthy, and see what happens when Travis goes to prom with a date who looks an AWFUL lot like Danny. Looks like SOMEONE's got a "Secret Valentine!"

I asked Boys Like Girls to go prom with me and Buzzworthy, but Martin was too busy blogging, and Bryan Donahue and John Keefe were working on Boys Like Girls' new album and getting ready for their summer tour and the mtvU Sunblock Music Festival (Gym Class Heroes, The Academy Is, The Veronicas, and Never Shout Never + four cities + four shows).

Fortunately, Paul DiGiovanni said he'd go to prom with me, but then he stood me up for Lily Allen. Oh well. At least he's dumping me for someone cute... I bet Ashley Tisdale would've gone too.

+ After the jump, see how Paul DiGiovanni and Lily Allen's prom date would go, and watch a bunch of BLG live performances and videos. And check out more celebrity proms too.

After spending nearly 10 solid minutes talking to Taking Back Sunday about prom -- seriously, once they started going, they were unstoppable -- I've decided that talking about prom with Taking Back Sunday is probably more fun than going to prom.

If you're really a true Taking Back Sunday fan, you'll watch all six (plus) minutes. We left it unedited because there was just so much rich material in there... I mean Mark O'Connell getting attacked by birds on the beach? It's straight out of an episode of Saved By The Bell.

And Matt Rubano was so traumatized by prom that he bailed early and pretty much needed to file for a legal annulment the next day. Also, Eddie Reyes has been to five (!!!) different proms, none of which were his own.

So, if you thought about asking any of Taking Back Sunday if they wanna go to prom with you, the answer is probably no. See why in this brand-new Buzzworthy video interview...

You're probably never going to get a chance to go to prom with All Time Low (though an afterparty is a different story). So instead, enjoy the next-best thing: Jack Barakat and Rian Dawson's emailed accounts of their proms. Ready? Here's how prom went for Jack and Rian...

Jack Barakat: Alex's date's family owned a tour bus, so we decided it would be pretty sick to roll up to prom in that. Everyone else rolled up in limos, but we had to roll deep. Also it was our first time ever being on a tour bus.

Rian Dawson: Being there with three-fourths of the band (Zack went to a different high school) and all our girlfriends made the night. We took a tour bus down and then just drove around the city afterward doing things we probably should have been 21 for.

Buzzworthy: Who was your prom date?

Rian: Kara D.

Buzzworthy: Which songs did you dance to at prom?

Rian: Proms are hell, and I'm not much of a dancer, so I spent most of the time eating.

Buzzworthy: (Resists "I Can't Do the One-Two Step" joke.) Fair enough. What'd you wear to prom?

Rian: A champagne -and-black tux.

Buzzworthy: What did you do after prom?

Rian: Drove around the city in a tour bus.

Buzzworthy: What would you go back and do differently if you could?

Rian: Drink beforehand.

Buzzworthy: Ohhhhh, Rian! Do you have a prom photo?

Rian: I'm sure my Mom does...

+ Watch All Time Low's new tour diary, and if you see them on the Believers Never Die Part Deux Tour, you should ask him about that prom photo. Plus, watch Cassadee Pope's prom video, and get non-hoochie mama prom tips from The Veronicas. And stay tuned for prom videos from We The Kings.

The best part about this brand-new prom video that The Veronicas just sent us is their use of the phrase "hoochie mama." Sometimes I forget about that phrase, yet it's a classic that never gets old, and I'm glad someone reminded me.

Check out Jess and Lisa's prom memories and tips in this exclusive Buzzworthy prom video, and if you've already gone out and bought a hoochie ensemble, hopefully you've got time to return it. Happy promin'!

+ Plus: Watch The Veronicas' "Take Me On The Floor" live in Melbourne, after the jump!
