Imagine, if you will: A late summer house party set in L.A. Beer pong, laughing, and dancing. Attendees include Mayer Hawthorne, M83 and Mac Miller, to name a few. To top it all off, Drew Barrymore's photographing the whole thing.

This really did happen, people. And we've got video to prove it! Drew Barrymore recently shot a photo feature for V magazine featuring nine bands -- Mayer Hawthorne, Mac Miller, M83, Spank Rock, Warpaint, The Drums, The Peach Kings, Lord Huron and Audra Mae & The Almighty Sound -- 100 percent of which happen to be some of our favorites. Go behind the scenes of the photo shoot in this exclusive video, where we catch Mac Miller showing off his moves, Mayer Hawthorne letting loose (his bow tie's undone -- serious relax mode), and the girls of Warpaint donning some plastic animal masks (why not?). And yes, people end up kissing -- you know that means it was a great party.

The Spring Preview 2012 issue of V magazine is on newsstands now, and for more on what to expect from Drew Barrymore's photo spread, check out the Drew-directed supervideo for Best Coast's "Our Deal."

If you were at all moved by the tragic story line that defined the full-length version of the Drew Barrymore-directed MTV "Supervideo" featuring Best Coast's "Our Deal," then the extended version might set you over the edge. And if you weren't moved by the tragic story line, then you have no soul IMHO.

Featuring Miranda Cosgrove, Chloë Moretz, Donald Glover, Shailene Woodley, Alia Shawkat and "Teen Wolf"'s Tyler Posey, the extended version goes even deeper into the world of the Night Creepers and the Day Trotters, two opposing and constantly feuding gangs. Moretz plays Veronica, a member of the Night Creepers, who falls deeply in love with a member of the Day Trotters named Lucky, played by Posey. While romantic scenes in the full-length version shows viewers just how deeply connected Veronica and Lucky are, the extended version shows a more real side to their love, delving in to the details of the young couple's everyday routine. We see the duo reading a book (Might that be homework? They're like what, 16?), dancing, laughing and comparing tattoos. The couple that tats together, stays together, right? Think again.

Even though I was kinda hoping that the extended version might have, say, an alternate ending sparing me from the depths of depression I spiraled into after I saw the full-length "Supervideo," tragedy strikes once again. You'll have to watch for yourself to know what I mean. Drew Barrymore, you definitely know how to tug at our heart strings. We sort of hate you/love you for that.

We don't throw the word "super" around all the time, but when your video is directed by Drew Barrymore and features Miranda Cosgrove, Chloë Moretz, Donald Glover, Shailene Woodley, Alia Shawkat and "Teen Wolf"'s Tyler Posey, we think it's deserved. Check out the exclusive premiere of MTV's new "Supervideo," set to Best Coast's "Our Deal" below.

"Two Gangs. One ruled the streets by day. The other by night." So begins the mini-movie channeling the rival gangs of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" video and West Side Story's Tony and Maria. Here's the CliffsNotes version: Moretz plays Veronica, a member of the Night Creepers, who falls for Lucky (Posey), a member of the Night Creepers' arch nemesis, Day Trotters. As their respective gangs continually feud, the two fall in love and Veronica asks Lucky to run away with her. He declines. Or does he? The video climaxes with one tragic punch that would win the VMA for "Best Irony in a Music Video" (new category alert, execs). You're going to need pictures of unicorns and puppies to counteract your emotions at the end of this one. You're welcome.

When you're finished checking out the video, see our behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with all the video's major players. And admit it: Any video with its own "Graffiti Coordinator" onsite has to be cool, right?

We've all been there -- the guy you're interested in plays a REALLY hot wolf on MTV's "Teen Wolf" and then plays a REALLY hot retro greaser in a "Supervideo" full of other famous people in rival gangs. Well, you probably haven't been there, now that I think about it. But that's exactly what happens in MTV's new "Supervideo," set to the Best Coast's "Our Deal," directed by Drew Barrymore.

Tyler Posey, who you certainly know from "Teen Wolf" and from being INSANELY good looking, plays a brooding gang member who catches the eye of actress Chloë Moretz (Kick-Ass, Let Me In). The chemistry is palpable, and so is the tension rising between the Day Trotters and the Night Creepers, both era-less teenage gangs that include other celebrities you're not used to seeing as gang members -- Miranda Cosgrove, Donald Glover, Shailene Woodley and Alia Shawkat.

But what will happen next?

After the jump, watch a sneak peek of MTV's "Supervideo," featuring Best Coast's "Our Deal," before it premieres Tuesday, Aug. 2, on MTV.com. And watch a behind-the-scenes interview with Drew Barrymore and Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino, shot on the "Supervideo" set in L.A.

1.) While Tamar was down at SXSW scarfing breakfast tacos and rocking out in a karaoke cab, I was here in New York, where it was cold. Luckily, NPR got my back, and I've been exhausting their archive of free, streaming live SXSW performances all day, every day. (NPR)

2.) Confession: The first time I saw Rebecca Black's "Friday" video, I thought it was Demi Lovato's long-lost seventh cousin or something. They look vaguely alike, right? Anyway, there might be beef a-brewin' between Demi, Selena Gomez and Rebecca Black. (Hollywood Life)

3.) Snoop Dogg did a music video with Air New Zealand spokespuppet Rico, who is a ... squirrel? A badger? Do they have badgers in New Zealand? Anyway, some NSFW language at the end, kids. (Idolator)

4.) Cults, whose chillwave jam "Go Outside" served as the soundtrack to our latest Supervideo starring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco, are streaming three songs off of what I guess is their upcoming album (?). Whatever it is, it's gorgeous and demands a listen -- or a dozen. (Cults)

5.) Drew Barrymore is thanked in the liner notes of Radiohead's latest self-released album King Of Limbs. Girl must play a mean cowbell. (Spinner)

6.) We've known saucer-eyed beauty Amanda Seyfried can carry a tune since she starred in movie-musical "Mamma Mia!" Now she's covering Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs' classic song "L'il Red Riding Hood," because duh, she currently stars in "Red Riding Hood." (Nylon)

7.) In case you missed it, Britney Spears tweeted a pic of herself on the set of her upcoming video, "Till The World Ends." The photo sparked somewhat of a debate over here at Buzzworthy HQ: Doesn't the studded leather jacket make Brit Brit look a bit like Lady Gaga and/or Adam Lambert? (Twitter)

8.) Our friends over at MTV Hive interviewed Sammy Hagar, the legendary second frontman of Van Halen AND, more interestingly, an alien abductee. He says, "It was real. [Aliens] were plugged into me. It was a download situation. This was long before computers or any kind of wireless [...] it was like, 'F***, they downloaded something into me!' Or they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment. " (MTV Hive)

9.) The Chemical Brothers, whom we haven't heard from in a minute, have scored the upcoming adventure-thriller film "Hanna," and people are calling the soundtrack the best album from the Brothers in a decade. If the track "The Devil Is In The Beats" is any indication, we're apt to agree. (SoundCloud)

10.) This salsa-dancing dog is a better dancer than everyone. (BuzzFeed)

Perhaps it has something to do with the rumored end to her brief relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal or maybe she was just in a touchy-feely mood, but Taylor Swift sure was getting "handsy" at last night's celebration for CoverGirl's 50th birthday.

Above you see Swift greeting her BFF Selena Gomez warmly. Selena was without rumored boyfriend Justin Bieber, who was probably like, "CoverGirl party? Nah, Boo. That's cool. Roll solo to that one." Because that is exactly how Justin Bieber talks.

For Taylor Swift, the hugs were just beginning. She also exchanged pleasantries (and embraces) with actress Drew Barrymore...

And then, that same night, at the People's Choice Awards (where she won Favorite Country Artist), she bumped into pal, "Glee" star and rumored onetime boyfriend Cory Monteith...

HUGS! Hugs for everyone! Nice to see the new year hasn't dulled Taylor Swift's effervescent personality. Never change, girl.

+ Damn, Ke$ha, do the words "give" "peace" and "a chance" ring any bells? First she mixes it up with Britney Spears. Now Ke$ha is trying to back off some not particularly harsh comments she made about Justin Bieber in Maxim. The "Tik Tok" singer could, at worst, be accused of being a little condescending to Bieber in her interview, joking, "He’s a tiny little baby! I would’ve loved to push him around onstage in a carriage.” Not the worst thing ever, right? Well, she must have anticipated some serious Bieber blowback, because Ke$ha hit Twitter yesterday to apologize: "dear justin b i am so sorry if my bad joke has hurt your feelings.u r obviously so talented andi would never mean to offend u.i think u r rad” (Idolator)

+ Green Day's American Idiot album spawned hits, certified the Bay Area punks as global rock superstars and has been adapted for the Broadway stage. Now it appears that the 2004 concept album may still have more life in it, as Tom Hanks is in talks to pick up the film rights for the musical version. Hanks is no stranger to translating stage musicals to the silver screen. He produced the blockbuster film version of Mamma Mia in 2008. (MTV News)

+ In other movie news, Rihanna could be gearing up for a leap to the big screen. Rumor has it that the "Rude Boy" singer might be getting her wings, joining the likes of Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu in playing one of the angels in a sequel to the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. (LimeLife)

+ Radiohead is much too busy trying to save the world and reinvent the music industry to trouble themselves with such trivialities as horse racing. But that hasn't stopped one man from naming a three-year-old colt after the band and entering it into the Kentucky Derby. Radiohead, the horse, is getting 20-1 odds to win the "Run for the Roses." (Spinner)

+ India.Arie will not be hitting "replay" on Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video any time soon. The neo-soul singer recently took to her Twitter account to give some constructive criticism to Gaga and society at large. While she respects Gaga's creativity, India deems the video "socially irresponsible," predicting, "It's not long before somebody does a straight NAKED video." (Crunk + Disorderly)

+ Britney and Jason still an item? Still, we stand by these guys Britney should date. Just in case. (Just Jared)

I know Drew Barrymore did this RIDICULOUS skunky black-tipped two-tone dye job a good few days ago at a press event for her new film, Whip It, at the Toronto Film Festival, but it's taken me about that long to let it sink in. Thankfully Drew stopped celebrating Halloween in September and returned to 100% blond -- and not just 75% -- for the Emmys this past Sunday. Which is good, because Drew's feather duster disaster was even worse than her Tippi Hedren hair at the 2009 Golden Globes.

Watch the Whip It trailer, and check out more celebrity dye jobs.

I know. We were wondering the same thing.

This clip from the MTV Vault is so cute that it makes Teletubbies look like a horror movie and Macaulay Culkin look like Angela Lansbury. Oh wait, Angela Lansbury is actually super cute. Never mind that one.

In what I assume is an impromptu ad for a 1983 Become-An-MTV-VJ-Contest, human bunny rabbit / kitty cat Martha Quinn interviews a chubby-mini-naughty-baby Drew Barrymore, who is appropriately dressed in polka dots and prom hair. Quinn -- in her pixie cut, button nose and cardigan -- out-adorables Mr. Rogers' whole Neighborhood Of Make-Believe. Drew Barrymore is actually a Peep that came to life. Oh, and she's a Duran Duran fan.

Seriously, get ready to mush your cheeks, half-cover your eyes and say "eeeeeeeee." This is insane. It's too much. That Downy Bear better start looking for a new job.
