This weekend, while you:

+ Celebrate the Fourth of July…

+ Engage in or avoid the 218th straight hour of Michael Jackson media coverage…

+ Or burn all of the notebooks you filled with iterations of your name, “Mrs.,” and “Kevin Jonas”

Please don’t forget that you should be using protection while participating in those activities!

Enter Will Ferrell’s own special brand of sunscreen. It’s got SPF 30, and it’s got an image of Will Ferrell’s ass on it (plus, it’s made in Germany, and you know the Germans always make good stuff — actually, it’s made in the USA, and I doctored that last part), but most importantly, 100% of the proceeds from Will Ferrell’s sunscreen goes to Cancer for College, which funds scholarships for cancer survivors.

Choose from two appealin’ flavors — “Sexy Hot Tan” (shown above), or “Sun Stroke” (check it out below the jump). They’re $12 each at FredFlare.com. (Get “Forbidden Fruit” here.)

Will Ferrell sunscreen! It’s less superfluous than High School Musical hand sanitizer, and more practical than Brüno manpons. Which they should so make.

Let’s put aside the Cobra Starship-versus-Ashley Tisdale beef for a second and take an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at Cobra Starship’s new “Good Girls Go Bad” video, starring Leighton Meester.

And you already know the video involves a deli-turned-speakeasy and blah blah bliggity blah, but did you know that it was shot on Avenue B in the East Village AND that Ryland once worked at an actual deli? And that Alex has a sensitivity to houndstooth? It’s true.

Watch two behind-the-scenes clips from the “Good Girls Go Bad” video shoot.

… After the jump, see what made Leighton Meester feel “sexual healing”-y… on the set…

By now you’ve had a night to sleep on the wonderful (or tragic, depending on your perspective) news that Kevin Jonas got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Danielle Deleasa. Hopefully now you’re prepared for additional details. Like… THE RING. Kevin helped designed Danielle’s engagement ring with jeweler-to-the-stars Jacob & Co., as in Jacob The Jeweler, who created Mariah Carey’s engagement ring.

The diamond ring is a 3-carat solitaire cushion-cut diamond, surrounded by 210 round brilliant-cut pave diamonds. Um, not too shabby. No wonder Danielle said yes like 500 times. Sigh. Congrats again to the next Mrs. Jonas!

+ Check out photos of the ring Kevin Jonas proposed with after the jump.

I don’t know WHERE the girls in Drake’s new “Best I Ever Had” video go to school, but the PTA really needs to hold a bake sale or something and help get these girls into some supportive sports bras! Because that is NO way to play basketball, ladies.

Drake is Young Money’s (Lil Wayne’s label) latest signee, Rihanna’s rumored new love interest, and a Degrassi grad. He also sucks at coaching basketball, which is fine because as the emcee on everyone’s lips, he’s got the rap game on lock right now, and he doesn’t even have an album out yet. So, I have a feeling things will still work out for him if coaching doesn’t.

Oh yeah, and Kanye directed the video, which was shot at Bishop Ford High School in Brooklyn, and features cameos from the Young Money Crew.

Watch Drake’s brand-new video, “Best I Ever Had.”

UPDATE: CHECK OUT PHOTOS OF THE ENGAGEMENT RING!!

It is with a heavy heart that I type the following words, which most of you probably already know: Kevin Jonas is engaged. But not to me. (Sadly…) Or to you. Kevin Jonas got engaged to his long-time girlfriend Danielle Deleasa. Kevin popped the question early this morning on Danielle’s doorstep after flying into New Jersey on an overnight flight after the Jonas Brothers’ concert in Vancouver.

The ring: a cushion-cut diamond ring that Kevin designed along with Jacob & Co.

Yes, you read that correctly. Kevin Jonas put a ring on it and is going to trade in his purity ring for a wedding ring. It’s true, it’s official, and it’s happening. One Jonas down, two more to go. (Well, three if you count Frankie, but he’s got a while.)

Anyway, congrats Kevin and Danielle. (Kevin, if things don’t work out, caaaaaaaaawlllll me!!! Our kids would have SUCH fun curly hair!)

(Also, WHAT is the “Kevin Touched Me” girl gonna do when she finds out?)

Today’s episode of It’s On With Alexa Chung featured a little something for everyone — book suggestions, Tyrese and his man muscles, Transformers helmets, cake smashing, and a live rendition of “Birthday Sex.” If you weren’t entertained, then you just don’t know good TV. Anyway, here’s what Alexa wore today!

Wednesday, July 1
+ Dress: A.P.C.
+ Shoes: Frye.
+ Knee-highs: Hue.
+ Beaded necklace: Her own.

So, look what’s on sale… a gorgeous navy A.P.C. (one of Alexa’s favorite brands) mohair dress. It’s not super summery, but it’s winter somewhere, right? Buy it and keep it for later, because it’s on sale for $190 at apc.fr.

… Or check out this more summery navy button-down dress by model Erin Wasson’s RVCA line. It’s $105 at Opening Ceremony — one of Alexa’s favorite shops.

Finally, Alexa wore her own beaded necklace, but check eBay’s selection of Native American beaded medallion necklaces.

Now that I’ve watched Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” video — filmed at Pope John Paul II High School in Hendersonville, Tennessee — approximately 16,000 times (it seriously won’t even play on my computer any more — instead of playing the video, a little sign that says “Please… Isn’t It Enough Already?” pops up instead. BECAUSE MY COMPUTER IS MOCKING ME!), I can confidently say that Taylor and I CLEARLY have the EXACT SAME TASTE in teen movies. In case your Netflix queue needs some refreshing, here are six OBVIOUS teen movie allusions found in Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” video.

+ She’s All That: Cool, artsy girl in glasses undergoes geek-to-chic transformation, just in time for prom!

+ Mean Girls: The “Girlfriend” version of Taylor is even DRESSED like a pink Plastic! Classic! (Also, I could quote Mean Girls for days. DAAAAAAAYS!)

+ Drumline: I’d be lying if I said I won’t drop ANYTHING I’m doing to watch this movie when it comes on. Like, if I have a flight to catch, I would even consider missing it just so I can watch that ish. Also, what if I told you I have a “FRIEND” who loves that JC Chasez song “She’s Blowin’ Me Up” from Drumline? Anyway, back to Taylor Swift — Taylor plays a band geek in the video, but she’s Taylor, so that automatically makes being in the band cool.

+ Bring It On: Sneering cheerleaders? Check.

+ A Cinderella Story: And Lucas Till even LOOKS like Chad Michael Murray!

+ Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist: Because you know Taylor listens to REALLY good music, unlike that crappy POSER girlfriend. (Also, I want to be Cat Deeley. Also-also, Michael Cera is his absolute cutest self in this movie. Even cuter than in Juno, if that’s somehow possible. Though I did see him backstage at It’s On With Alexa Chung, and he confirmed my suspicion that he’s a puppy dog trapped in the body of a human boy.)

+ Watch Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” video. And, if you’re feeling up to it, leave your favorite teen movie quote in the comments! It’s ON!

I was in Bed Bath & Beyond the other night (or, Bed Bath & Beyonce, as I like to call it, even though that’s not really very funny or clever as it has nothing to do with Beyonce), taking care of my bed, bath and business, and while I was waiting in the check-out line, debating whether or not I REALLY needed to buy that bottle of Kaboom (answer: YES, result: my tub looks like… I cleaned it), when I spotted HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL HAND SANITIZER. Seriously. That is a REAL PRODUCT. It’s hand sanitizer, but… wait for it, here’s the catch: IT HAS A HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL STICKER ON IT! It does not play “Get’cha Head in the Game” when you squirt it out, it doesn’t magically give you spirit fingers or make you more popular. Zac Efron won’t pop out of the bottle and grant you three wishes. I doubt this crap even protects you from swine flu. It’s just… generic hand sanitizer… with a High School Musical sticker on it. Basically, you could take your own little bottle of Purel and put an HSM sticker on it to the same effect. Still, someone though to MASS PRODUCE AND MARKET THIS. T-shirts, lunchboxes, notebooks, fake tattoos, even socks I can handle. But hand sanitzer? Someone needs to put an end to the merchandising madness.

+ What’s the weirdest band/ movie/ celeb merch you’ve ever encountered? Better yet, what weird band/ movie/ celeb stuff you own?

In part 1 of Cobra Starship’s HIGHLY anticipated MTV Buzzworthy Blog Q&A, Gabe Saporta, Ryland Blackinton, and Alex Suarez cover the following topics:

+ Guy Ripley!

+ Not skydiving.

+ A camping trip gone horribly wrong.

+ Drinkin’ beers and shootin’ deers.

But Cobra Starship’s interview takes a decidedly ugly turn when the guys answer a question about Ashley Tisdale and the curious and coincidental case of her album, Guilty Pleasure, and her song called “Hot Mess.” Um, don’t shoot the messenger…

Watch Cobra’s Buzzworthy fan Q&A after the jump, and stay tuned for parts 2 and 3.

All kinds of unexpected things ended up happening on It’s On With Alexa Chung today. Seann William Scott told a totally NSFW story involving intercourse and peanut butter (never the two shall meet, I always say!), John Leguizamo walked on and went on some kind of rage bender, and I fell in love a little bit more with Lil Wayne signee Drake (yes, the same Drake who used to be on Degrassi!!!) But, more importantly, here’s what Alexa Chung was wearing on today’s show…

Tuesday, June 30
+ Dress: Vintage.

+ Shoes: Luella, her own.

+ Necklace: Purchased on St. Marks Place — One of Alexa’s favorite places in New York City to shop for inexpensive and fun jewelry. Secret’s out now. Oh well.

If you’re into the ruffly look, check out Thread Social’s off-white silk jumper. It’s $275 at Net-a-Porter.com — one of Alexa’s favorite online shops.

… And check out Geren Ford’s delicate, ruffly cream top. It’s $258 at Shopbop.com.

Finally, check out Juicy Couture’s high-heeled Mary Janes with gold buckle detail. They’re $175 at Zappos.com, and they’re a staple shoe you’ll buy once and wear forever.
