This band covered the song, and then covered the intro for the music video. This is the side-by-side comparison.
Music Buzz Well, you probably realized that some of these were covers. In fact, you were probably like, “What do you take me for? I knew some of these were covers!” But some of these are really surprising! “Torn”?! WTF is Ednaswap? Jesus. This whole project gave me an existential crisis.
Movie Buzz Saying “Freddy's back” is kind of ridiculous since most of the film's leads weren't born when the original came out, but still. Jackie Earle Healy seems to have cornered the market on child molester roles.
Movie Buzz Zachary Oberzan adapted, filmed, and acted every part in a painstaking version of “First Blood.” The result, “Flooding With Love For The Kid,” is something amazing. Other facts: It was filmed entirely in his tiny NYC apartment; the production budget was $96; it's a deeper, more affecting movie than the Stallone version.
Culture Buzz Scholastic (of Book Club fame) is reissuing the beloved 90s series with updated references and even a prequel. Jezebel did a list of requested changes, to which I would add: get Mary Ann a real boyfriend, for Christ's sake. Or ditch the beard and let Kristy and MA live their love outloud.

We were so excited. Two words for you, programming execs: HOW RUDE!
A precious Korean boy, Dong-won Kim, gives us his sexy version of Mariah Carey's hit, “Touch My Body.” I've never felt less sexy in my life.
Celebrity Buzz The former pop tart is slated to play Varla in Quentin Tarantino’s remake of Faster, Pussycat, Kill! Kill!. Will Britney experience a comeback on the same scale of John Travolta in Pulp Fiction? Only time will tell (as will US Magazine, Star, In Touch, Hello, OK!, The National Enquirer, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, and every show on E!).
