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.)

+ Watch Day26's new interview, and check out more Day26 photos after the jump. Plus, watch "Imma Put It On Her." (Again.)

+ Former Danity Kane member D. Woods provides some terribly blunt revelations about Making The Band and just exactly how real "reality" television is. We applaud her candor. We do not, however, support her new haircut. (Singersroom)

+ Now that Pete Doherty is a Sober Sally, the absolute LAST thing he needs is to be infected with the Swine Flu. NOW GO OUT AND BUY SOME HOG! THE INDUSTRY'S A SUFF'RIN! (Holy Moly)

+ You need to see the trailer for Eminem's new video "3 A.M." It looks like Silent Hill meets a Rob Zombie movie. Pretty creepy (and of course, Em is shirtless). (Rap-Up)

+ As if you needed another reason to head to Austin, TX this year, Pearl Jam and Beastie Boys (along with Dave Matthews Band - meh) are headlining the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October (tix are only $185 for three days.. pretty good for a recesh budgie). Other notables include Lily Allen and John Legend.

+ And here you have it, "the face of digital energy," the official album cover for Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D." It's supposed to be a blend of all four band members' faces, but I think it just looks like Fergie after a hard night of drinking, which could explain where her wig went. (Rap-Up)

+ If you're in the market for a creepy Patrick Swayze wax figure (that looks nothing like him but claims to "sport his famous flowing 1980's hairstyle" from Road House), then you have come to the right place! (Live Auctioneers)

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.

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.

Admit it! Donnie Klang's your full-on fave Making the Band-er this year! That adorable face that screams "I'm hot, but not inaccessible," those slick dance moves (alright, so he's a wee bit awkward, but he's working on it) and his still-there flirtation with Aubrey O'Day. Best, best, and best.

And since you love Donnie like you love Exiled and H&M, you'll definitely want to preview his inaugural album, Like a Rolling Stone, before it officially drops next week.

+ So listen to his soon-to-be-released tracks on "The Leak" and see whether he has what it takes to debut at #1 like his MTB brothers and sisters, Day 26 and Danity Kane.

One of the hottest competitions of the 2008 VMAs, (IMO), is in the Best Dancing in a Video category, where Pussycat Dolls and Danity Kane are going stilettoed toe to stilettoed toe against each other in defense of "When I Grow Up" and "Damaged," respectively.

The most famous Making the Band grads, who had one of the biggest-selling albums of 2008 next to fellow VMA noms the Jonas Brothers and Lil Wayne (both of whom are performing at the VMAs, by the by), made surgery look really effin' hot. Hello nurse!

But Danity Kane's up against the varsity-level girl group Pussycat Dolls, what with their famous groupie/boobies and years of dance training -- you KNOW Robin Antin is no joke with the choreo.

Which is not to say either group can beat out Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, or the grande dame of dance, Madonna, but that's still some stiff girl-on-girl competition, and I ain't just talkin' Hairspray.

Who will dance their way to 2008 VMA victory? We'll see on Sunday, September 7. Until then, let the acrylic claws come out and the cat fights begin!

Plus:
+ Macy Gray's WTF Wednesday!
+ Rose McGowan’s Trashbag Tuesday!
+ Emimen’s Mayhem Monday!

Good news, Making the Band 4 fans! This week, Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang are taking over TRL (and invading your TV screens) in honor of tomorrow night's season 3 premiere. So if you worshiped Aubrey O'Day in Hairspray, love to love Donnie and have a thing for Day26, tune in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to catch up with your favorite MTB guys and gals (plus an impressive arsenal of celeb guests) on TRL.
