Eve 6 strip down 'Victoria' for 'Buzzworthy Live.'

Not only was my 16-year-old self pumped when Eve 6 stopped by our studios to perform for us recently, but my present-day self was also pretty excited. The SoCal trio paid us a visit recently to perform a stripped-down, acoustic version of their single, "Victoria," off of their latest album, Speak In Code. And again, like in their 1998 breakthrough hit, "Inside Out," the guys fell victim to a female antagonist who's more trouble than she's worth. And this time she's leading them to drink.

Watch Eve 6's "Buzzworthy Live" acoustic performance of "Victoria" after the jump.

Diggy falls hard in his new '4 Letter Word' video.

It seems like only yesterday that MTV Push alum Diggy was a little tot on "Run's House." Sure, the kid is still only 17, but that doesn't mean that he can't fall in love with chicks! Diggy's latest jam, "4 Letter Word," isn't about a curse but the most powerful four-letter word of them all: L-O-V-E. Aww.

Joe Jonas and a pal hop a bicycle cab in Manila.

Joe Jonas is currently playing some shows overseas, and during his time in Manila, he put on his most festive shorts (seriously) and hopped into a bicycle cab. This why we love Joe Jonas -- he's always willing to take risks. He's not afraid to step out in public with his new (possible) girlfriend, he (thankfully) has no problem taking his shirt off at music festivals, and now, he ain't scared to put his life in danger in the seat of a bicycle cab on the wild and crazy streets of Fort Santiago. Ugh, how do I make Joe my international travel partner?

The "Just In Love" singer uploaded the photo to Twitter this morning with the caption "Taking a bicycle cab with Brahms @ Fort Santiago," as he and a pal hopped into the cute little cart and held on for dear life. Also, we feel like we need to note that Joe would be a stellar politician: Look at that half-mast thumbs-up! Joe for Mayor!

Check out  The Downtown Fiction's 'Get It Right' live video from their Pineapple EP.

Here's a little warning to heed before you get anywhere near Virginia power-pop act The Downtown Fiction's "Get It Right." If you do choose to indulge in our exclusive live video of their song "Get It Right" -- and you should -- it will likely get lodged in your brain even more quickly than "Call Me Maybe" got stuck there. In short, if you're cool with singing this jam for the rest of time or until the Mayan Calendar says we'll all combust, then let us direct you to an exclusive live video of The Downtown Fiction performing their addictive hit off their Pineapple EP.

Diddy parties like a rock star on his yacht in Cannes.

Gentlemen (and ladies who want to share this infinite wisdom with their poorly dressed BFs), THIS is how you rock formal wear. Notice how Diddy isn't wearing pleated khakis and a sports jacket three sizes too big? We're just a little disappointed he didn't add dramatic accessory flare like he's done before, but it's still official: Diddy has more swag molecules running through his body than he knows what to do with. (BTW, that's what's really making his suit shine.)

The "Last Night" singer was snapped looking dapper as hell throwing a party on his yacht in Cannes during the infamous film festival. (We already knew he'd probably throw a baller pool party. Now he's moved on to yachts.) No word on whether it was a superyacht (like Rihanna's fave water transportation), but it's THE Puff Daddy, guys --  it's most likely a super-quadooper yacht built out of priceless diamonds and rare unicorn hairs... or something. Let's just say it's got to be effing epic on that boat! The fact that the guest list included the gorg Cassie and some of the wealthiest people in the world makes Diddy's life even more priceless. We really gotta find richer friends.

T. Mills and Matt Toka talk celebrity pool parties.

We teased you last Friday when we sent you our Instagram of "Vans On" rapper T. Mills hanging out with us at Bamboozle, and we promised we had more to come. And here we are: the other side of that promise. Take a seat. Get comfy.

T. Mills put on his Simon Rex hat for the weekend and interviewed all of our favorite musicians about goofy summer stuff. Or as he put it, "silly, stupid questions." Tomatoes, to-mah-toes. In this first Bamboozle video we're bringing you, T. (aka Travis) asks everyone which celebrity would throw the best pool party. And the overwhelming answer that we heard more than a half dozen times? Diddy! As rapper Mr. MF eXquire puts it: "Even his farts are parties." True wisdom from a poignant wordsmith.

Travis also gets pretty personal with our guests, asking who everyone's hoping to see in a bathing suit this summer (or their birthday suit, either or). The answers vary widely, to say the least: The girls of Cherri Bomb seem to be big Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit) fans (no judgment), while Wallpaper.'s all up on that Ciara steeze. Kreayshawn wants to see Mark Wahlberg -- actually, "Marky Mark, not Mark Wahlberg." We cosign, Kreay.

+ Check out T. Mills chatting celeb pool parties and bathing suits with our favorite Bamboozle artists below, and peep all the photos we took this weekend in our Bamboozle 2012 Photo Gallery!

Breathe Carolina

Breathe Carolina: very ready for the holiday weekend.

Make no mistake: Breathe Carolina knows how to party. The electro-rock band's new "Hit And Run" goes all T-Pain-meets-Skrillex on us, smoothing out the duo's vocals with Auto-Tune and adding rave-ready bass to Breathe Carolina's beat arsenal. The lyric video for the dance floor banger captures the boys in Vegas, where they and their pals rock glow-in-the-dark face paint, chug Rockstar and pass out in hotel hallways. Somewhere, LMFAO are watching this video and high-fiving.

We spent the majority of our youth memorizing every single one of Garbage's song lyrics, so we pretty much freaked our collective ish over the fact that Garbage's new album, Not Your Kind Of People, has finally been released -- all new Garbage to obsess over! And even though we weren't able to score tickets to see the band reunite on stage in person (for the first time in seven years!), we can sing right along with Shirley and Co. while watching MTV Hive's livestream of Garbage's NYC performance TONIGHT. That way we can still pretend we sound just like the band's bombshell lead singer during their "Live In NYC" performance while simultaneously avoiding dirty looks from the very annoyed people around us -- everyone wins

+ Celebrate Garbage's new album and watch their "Live In NYC" livestream TONIGHT at 9 p.m. ET at MTV Hive.

Were you guys at Bamboozle this weekend like we were? No? Sorry to hear that. Good thing we took photos of basically the entire festival so you can look through them and pretend you were there. All of our pals stopped by... Well, not technically "our pals" in that we didn't know them before this weekend, but we're hoping we're on speed-dial status now since we did have an IRL hangout sesh. Marianas Trench paid us a visit, along with tons of other dudes and dudettes: Matt Toka, Action Bronson, Cherri Bomb, and obviously, Kreayshawn. Homegirl flaunted her Lil Homies necklace, and then we tried to steal it from her. I didn't work out.

Check out more of the photos we snapped at Bamboozle 2012 this past weekend after the jump, and see them all in our BAMBOOZLE 2012 PHOTO GALLERY!
