Inspired by the amazing work of Viek, a Beijing artist who makes Barbie-size versions of classic Lady Gaga ensembles, we started thinking about all the celebs we'd like to see endowed with a Barbie created in their image. After a lot of research -- and a couple unnecessary trips to the American Girl store -- we came up with the following list of 6 celebs we'd like to see in Barbie form.

We'd explain more, but we've got to go back and pick up Lanie from the doll hair salon. We can't wait to see how her double-flip twist turned out!

1.) Hayley Williams: The Paramore singer has already admitted to collecting Barbies so it seems only fitting that she have one of her own. Her hair would change color with warm water and, in a perfect plastic world, she'd be wearing creepers, Dickies pants and an H20 hoodie. Plus, she'd come with a Chad Gilbert boyfriend doll, as well. [Insert collective pop-punk swoon here.]

2.) Tyson Ritter: When he's not giving you hell on stage with The All-American Rejects, Tyson Ritter can often be seen striking a pose for various clothing campaigns. Yup, homeboy is a male model in his spare time. Color us impressed. And attracted. A doll version of the Oklahoma native would have to come with a vial of silver glitter and your own temporary AAR tattoo.

3.) Katy Perry & Russell Brand: Sure, Katy already has her own doll and likes to kiss girls, and he's had kind of a ton of sex, but the Barbie brand could really benefit from having a power couple in bustiers and extremely tight pants.

4.) Justin Bieber: With his perfect button nose, pouty lips and all-too-perfect coif5., Justin Bieber already looks like a living doll. However, just like Oreos, jelly bracelets and episodes of "Party Down," you can never have too much Bieb. That said, we'd like to see our Bieber doll come with a pair of Nike dunks, a fitted cap and a long-bristled dandy brush so we can spend hours grooming his luxurious hair. What? It's not like that's creepy or anything.

5.) Ke$ha: We imagine Ke$ha's doll incarnation would be a little less Barbie and a little more Jem, but that's just us. Either way, possible accessories include mini Whiskey bottles, hair feathers and flamboyant male backup dancers.

6.) Bill Kaulitz: The Tokio Hotel frontman is so beautiful, we're worried that Barbie might be threatened by his looks. She's been super-insecure since that behatch Bella Swan Barbie hit the scene and started flirting with Edward Cullen Ken.

With prom season upon it, most dancegoers have only one thing on their mind -- and it ain't corsages.

Yup, it's making out (or what have you). We do it all for the nookie over here at MTV Buzzworthy (#notreally), so we thought it might be helpful to provide all the hapless hook-ups out there with a smooch-inducing soundtrack. Trust us. We did lots of in-depth testing. (DM us for more detail.)

1.) The Big Pink's "Dominos": If your beloved is a fan of all-things British and brooding, then this ambient synth-rock anthem should definitely get you two in the mood. However, it might be hard to suck face when you're both bopping your heads to the beat so proceed with caution.

2.) Paramore's "The Only Exception": Every time we listen to this song, we get chills. And every time we watch the video, we start to tear up. Although Hayley Williams has never confirmed the tune was inspired by her boyfriend (and New Found Glory guitarist) Chad Gilbert, it doesn't seem too hard to connect the dots. Even if you don't have a rock star bf, this song is still the sweetest thing ever and, perhaps, the unofficial prom theme of 2010.

3.) Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game": This video basically put making out ON THE MAP. If the combination of Isaak's dulcet crooning and model Helena Christensen's hot bod doesn't get you rather hot and bothered, then you might want to check some pulses because there could be a corpse on your hands.

4.) Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You": If you have a hard time expressing your feelings, then this song can do the trick -- and then some. However, just make sure your dude/special lady friend isn't on his way to the slammer, or else you might be sending some pretty weird mixed signals.

5.) Kings Of Leon's "Use Somebody": If we were on our way to Makeout City, population do's, we would definitely want this song to be playing on the radio during the trip. Oh, and if Kings Of Leon frontman Caleb Followill just so happened to be riding in the passenger seat, that'd be OK, too.

If there were a pop-punk prom, we'd definitely vote New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert and Paramore's Hayley Williams Prom King and Queen, respectively. This adorable couple makes such beautiful music together—literally.

The pair recently took to Chad's What's Eating Gilbert? blog to post a collaborative stab at the Moldy Peaches' off-kilter ode "Anyone But You", otherwise known as the unofficial anthem to the movie Juno. Sure, the new version leaves out my favorite lyrics from the original—"squinched up your face and did a dance/you shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants"—but I'm willing to overlook it because Gilbert and Williams' voices fit together so perfectly. If you listen closely, I think you can actually hear the love between them. Too cute for words!

Eat your hearts out, Ellen Page and Michael Cera. Looks like you've got some heavy competition.
