You say you want passion? I think you found it.

Mmm, that's right. Remember what Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake did for Valentine's and Mother's Day? Remember what The Onion's Smoove B did for journalism? Well young rhymer Jeremih is about to do the same nasty thing, all up in yo birthday plans.

But hold up. Before you let this Chicago-born urban-pop pimp steam up your balloons, it's probably a good idea to get to know him a little bit. It's a responsible choice -- something Jeremih is real familiar with making. See, before he was perving out your special day, Jeremih was racing through high school -- graduating at 16 -- so that he could enroll in engineering school. But, successful as he was, the man had to sing, so he switched over to music business and started making tracks in his free time.

On his debut single, "Birthday Sex" (which makes Day26's "Imma Put It On Her" sound downright vanilla), Jeremih details an unforgettably raunchy present (for a girl with "kisses sweet as Hershey's"), leaving only one question to be answered: "Just tell me how you want your gift, girl." Somewhere, R.Kelly is proud.

It's difficult to imagine there's ANYTHING the world doesn't already know about Day26, but Que, Mike, Robert, Willie and Brian -- also known as Day26, also-also known as the men of Making The Band 4, still have five things they think you may not know about themselves and their hit record, Forever in a Day.

A bonus sixth thing you may or may not know about Day26: they have a true affinity for pooting. Seriously, a poot runs through this entire interview. Day26 smelt it, but I'm not saying who dealt it. (Though I blame blame Jamie Foxx.)

Today our mission is to rewrite the list of the cheesiest, most ridiculous prom songs ever. Some of them will be wonderful. Others, just plain terrible. But none of them will be Chris DeBurgh's "Lady In Red." Why in the world are they still playing that slop at prom? It's the romantic equivalent of "The Hokey Pokey." And while we're at it, are you familiar with the mind-boggling lyrics of Eric Clapton's unkillable prom wrecker, "Wonderful Tonight"? Read them and weep:

We go a party/ And everyone turns to see/ This beautiful lady/ Thats walking around with me/ And then she asks me/ Do you feel alright?/ And I say, Yes. I feel wonderful tonight.

Unreal, right? Are prom DJs living underground?? Do they work for your parents?!? It's appalling. But, bad as cheesy prom ballads can be, they play an important role in our culture. Without "Lady In Red," can you imagine how many boring old people would never have fallen in love? That is why I offer you the following cheeseballs. So that maybe we can get through our lives and still fall in love, without ever hearing "Lady In Red" or "Wonderful Tonight," ever again.

+ "Truly Madly Deeply," by Savage Garden
One of the first questions I ask when judging a prom song is, "Does this amazing love ballad inspire me to ball both of my hands into fists, hold them out in front of my face and sing along with my eyes closed really tight?" Savage Garden is a major "YES." This means that it packs the emotional wallop of a Creed video without bumming you out by being a Creed video.

+ "Thunder," by Boys Like Girls
Your voiiiiiiice! Oh MAN! If you're already slow-dancing face-to-face when the epic chorus of this new-school tear-jerker hits and you don't make out, check your chest for a heart.

+ "Kiss From A Rose," by Seal
This song was meant to be heard outside in the pouring rain. For chicks, it's the ultimate, because all of them dream of making out with Batman. Bonus points for including "Kiss" in the title.

+ "Imma Put It On Her," by Day26
Subtlety is great, but sometimes you gotta just cut right to the chase. Day26 pull no punches on this prom-ready, perv-out, egging on the shiest of dancers with lines like, "Booty bumpin’ like the sounds in my car (she should)/ Let me take it up a notch/ Get her off the block/ Take her to my spot and it’s on!"

+ "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" by Timon, Pumbaa, Simba, Nala and Jungle Chorus
As a prom ballad, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" is interchangeable with any Disney love theme of the past 20 years ("Did you ever hear the wolf cry at the blue corn moon?," anyone?). This one's only downfall is that it's not sung by Peabo Bryson, who, if cheesy love songs had their own country, would be a shoo-in for President. Its greatest asset: inclusion of the word "vagabond," which, let's face it, is one of the world's most romantic words.

+ "Let Me Love You," by Mario
Dudes. No matter how bad of a scrub you are, when Mario's bumping hard out of the PA, you become righteous just by association (although if you're really bad it may have the opposite effect). Look: "If I was your man, baby you'd/ Never worry 'bout what I do/ I be comin' home back to you/ Every night, doing you right." On top of that, this beat could make a corpse do a neckpop. See also: The Remix.

The fine fine men of Making The Band 4's Day 26 were here at 1515 Broadway yesterday, doing press for their new album, Forever In A Day. (Who's buying Forever In A Day, by the way? You? Diddy's entire Twitter following?)

Anyway, all of Day 26 was in a conference room just a few feet away from my desk here on the 17th floor, and my friend Courtney, who works just on the other side of said conference room, pointed out that Mike was wearing almost the exact same Balmain military jacket that Beyonce was seen all over New York in. (And when I say that Beyonce was seen all over New York in that military jacket, I really mean that she probably only wore it for like two hours, even though that Balmain jacket is about $11,000, which is more than some Americans make in an entire year.)

But, you know what? Beyonce and Mike from Day 26 are SOOOOO unfashionable because Gerard Way and Chris Martin were doing the military jacket thing LAST YEAR, people. And who is this "Balmain" guy anyway? And why's a dead guy gotta waste Gerard Way's flavor anyway?

Anyway, thought you Day 26 fans and fashionistas out there would appreciate knowing that Beyonce and Mike are all matchy-matchy on the military jacket tip.

+ Plus: Buzzworthy Goes To Topshop! And, watch Day 26's "Imma Put It On Her" video.

Last week Day 26 put it on you on the beach, in da club, with a bottle of Barack Ciroq and Diddy and everything.

This week the Making The Band boys are pouring THEIR ENTIRE NEW ALBUM all over you, with turn-down-the-lights tracks like "Your Heels" -- an ode to that special spot between your calves 'n' yo feet that help hold up dat ass -- and "Babymaker," which is self-explanatory. Day 26's album doesn't hit stores until next week, but you can hear the whole thing for free RIGHT NOW on MTV.com...

+ Listen to every track of Day 26's Forever In A Day on MTV.com's "The Leak."

+ You'd think Amy Winehouse minus the booze would be a good thing. But experts say Duffy's lack of trainwreckiness could actually be her downfall. "She doesn't have the problems that make her so compelling," sez one industry insider. And, more importantly? "[S]he's not in the tabloids." (MTV News)

+ Is Victoria Beckham vying to be the new, better-dressed Paula Abdul? (Scandalist)

+ Bruce Springsteen's Working On A Dream bumps Taylor Swift's Fearless out of the top spot on the Billboard chart. (Rolling Stone)

+ Preternaturally pale person Marilyn Manson says his new album, The High End Of Low, is named after "a self-described state of being that I’m in." In other words? "It's the s--t." (NME)

+ Awww, our Double Shot at Love has finally ended! Say buh-bye to the bisexual Ikki twins, plus let us know whether Rikki got unfairly dissed and dismissed... for her sis! (Remote Control)

+ Kanye West, Lil Wayne and T.I. are at the top of Day26's "Dream Collabs-slash-Not Gonna Happen" list. (MTV News)

Check out the first exclusive video from "Team Britney" (Eeee!), plus take another look at the MTV-excluisve version of her new music vid, "Womanizer" and this sneak peek from her upcoming MTV documentary, On The Record. (BritneySpears.com)

+ Plus, "Womanizer" director Joseph Kahn dishes the dirt on the man-candy in Spears' latest video. "Brandon Stoughton (above) took it very seriously," Kahn says. "He would come up with ideas." Wait, you mean like that photocopier makeout sesh?? Because that was, like, GENIUS. (MTV News)

+ Zac Efron turns 21 years old tomorrow, but says he'll be keeping things low-key. "I'm sure I'll have fun, but we're not going to go big," he told reporters. Good thinking, Zac! Besides, that whole renting-out-Disneyland-and-charging-$250-a-head thing? It's already been done. (Usmagazine.com)

+ Singer Nelly Furtado admits that she and "fiance" Demo Castillon secretly exchanged vows three months ago. Way to drop the ball, paparazzi! (E! Online)

+ Dawn Richard denies rumors that she's ditching her fellow (two) Danity Kane-ers and flying solo. (MTV News)

+ Meanwhile, Aundrea Fimbres and Day26 aren't gonna let the absence of Ebony & Ivory destroy what's left of DK. (Remote Control)

+ Travis Barker wasn't the only one who got a shout-out at Jay-Z and DJ AM's show the other night. Hova also gave it up for the Maverick! Which is to say he dedicated his song "99 Problems" to John McCain. (Rolling Stone)

In case you couldn't tell from this season's Making the Band 4, the girls from Danity Kane are, like, EXTREMELY busy and important these days. And since sleep is for the weak, they spend most of their free time talking smack with Day26, smooching sleazoid photographers and acting out their secret Harlequin romance fantasies.

But yesterday, there was only one place they had to be -- encouraging young people to get their vote on by headlining the Declare Yourself event gala, hosted by fellow do-gooders Jessica Alba and Hayden Panettiere. Check out these pics of the DK girls rocking out for a good cause and making Diddy proud. 'Cause hey, if seeing Aubrey and her dip-dyed doggy (and, um, those naughty Complex pix) can't get you to vote, we're pretty sure nothing can.

+ Inspired by Aubrey's involuntarily patriotic pooch?? Check out ChooseOrLose.com to found out how you can register to vote. And no, there's nothing in the rulebook about having to turn your beloved lapdog into a "rocket pup."

This just in: Danity Kane to join the ever-growing list of celeb eye-candy slated to drop by at next weekend's VMAs! Expect to to see the lovely ladies of Making the Band 4 sashaying down the red carpet...undoubtedly while wearing the cutest/most uncomfortable strappy stiletto sandals in creation.

And it looks as though the glamazon girl group will have their very own cheering section in the form of MTB's on-again, off-again choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson (whose legendary lack of volume control is almost as well-chronicled as her infamous throwdown with Diddy himself).

Anyhow, it all works out great, actually, seeing as how the girls have an excellent shot at taking home the highly coveted Best Dancing In A Video Moonman. (That is, assuming they can triumph over the Pussycat Dolls and their unabashed ode to famewhoring).

So, to recap: Sunday, September 7th, 2008, MTV Video Music Awards: Danity Kane (i.e. Aubrey, Aundrea, D. Woods, Dawn and Shannon) will be there! Laurie Ann Gibson will be there! Day 26 may or may not be there! And, most importantly, you will be there -- if only in the metaphorical watching-it-on-tv-instead-of-doing-your-homework sense.

The MTV mail room runneth overunneth with celebrity RSVPs for 2008 VMAs. First up, here's a quick look at your favorite MTV stars who've confirmed.

The Hills Cast: With all that feuding, we can't say for 100% suresies which Hills cast members will show, so here's our dream scenario: Lauren rocks the carpet in a dress of her own design, flanked by roomies/rivals Lo and Audrina and Heidi too. Meanwhile, Speidi shows up in full '80s gear (a la Heidi's new "Overdosin'" vid) and Brody Jenner swings by flaunting his date/domestic life partner, Frankie Delgado.

Tila Tequila: This two-time Shot at Love alum has over 1 million virtual pals, plus a bevvy of flesh-and-blood admirers who will do just about anything -- chug hot dog milkshakes, get inked and dry-hump condom balloons -- for her attention. With luck, she'll stroll down the red carpet with her new girlfriend -- rumored Lindsay Lohan castoff, Courtenay Semel.

Fonzworth Bentley: He's gone from Diddy's official umbrella-holder to the reigning master of etiquette, all in the span of a single show. And in addition to oozing elegance, the From G's to Gents show always dresses for the occasion. Should be interesting to see whether he makes the VMA's Best-Dressed list this year.

Ryan Sheckler: Remember that skater boy Avril Lavigne wrote that eponymous song about? Well, if he looked anything like the Life of Ryan star, we're betting no girl in the world would have let him slip through her fingers. Ryan, if you still need a last-minute date, we're available! Kidding! (Not really...)

Vanessa & Angela Simmons: No offense to the Rev, but we've always found this sassy sister act to be the best part of Run's House. Let's hope these Pastry sneaker queens bring their running commentary to the awards show...but leave their running shoes at home. Meanwhile, wonder if there will be any weirdness if Angela "runs" into her ex, Bow Wow?

Rob Dyrdek: Rob without Big is like peanut butter without the jelly or Paris Hilton without a $5,000 handbag. In other words, awesome, but not living up to its full amazingness. We love you, Rob, but here's to hoping the big guy finds his way to L.A. for the big event.

Shwayze and Cisco: Oh, Buzzin' boys, have we told you lately that we love you? (You like Corona and lime? OMG! WE! DO! TOO!) And, like guitar hero Dave Navarro before us, congrats to you for spending $1000 in one night just to impress some chick at the Roosevelt Hotel. Hey, if that's not dedication, we don't know what is.

Laurie Ann Gibson: Hey, remember Laurie Ann? She's the loudmouthed choreographer who got hired, then fired, then re-hired by Diddy on Making the Band! And she's back again this season, to try and whip Day 26 into shape. Which means, spending all day, every day, getting up close and personal with the hunky/talented R&B boys. We're thinking this is one job she's gonna wanna hang onto.

Tara Conner: We here at Buzzworthy are firm believers in second chances. Which was why we loved seeing the controversial Miss USA winner living it up with Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe on Pageant Place. Because if Mean Girls has taught us anything, it's that pretty girls always get along with other pretty girls. Wait a sec, those girls hated each other by the end. And one of them got hit by a bus! Tara, get out of there IMMEDIATELY!

Real World: Hollywood Cast: We haven't heard much from the RW: Hollywood-ers since the official cast reunion earlier this summer. So we're thrilled that Nick, Brittini, Will, and Joey will be on hand next weekend. (Greg, surprisingly, will not). Nick, Will, we'll always remember our time together at Ruby Foo's. If you're ever back in NYC, call us up -- we'll ring Applebee's and snag a reservation.
