The B-52s Are Back! New Video for "Funplex" Is Fun, Weird
It's pretty awesome that the B-52s aren't just still around and kicking (Kate Pierson is about to turn 60!), they're also still putting out hilariously fun, catchy songs, complete with their signature flamboyance and silliness. The new video for the tune "Funplex" takes place partially inside a futuristic Funplex, and partially in outer space. It seems to be about pleasure-seeking and, well, heartbreak at the Funplex.

The B-52s Prepare for a Comeback
With all this news about cartoons from my childhood being made into movies, the return of Better Off Dead director Savage Steve Holland, and now, a comeback by The B-52s, I really do feel like I'm living in the '80s. In the case of the self-proclaimed "world's greatest party band," I consider this a good thing.
As reported in Billboard today, B-52s just finished laying tracks for a new album, the band's first since 1992's Good Stuff.
NBC's Even Remaking Its Chimes
From Knight Rider to The Partridge Family, NBC under entertainment president Ben Silverman has been a remake-happy network. So is it any wonder that NBC's signature chime sound (you know, the "boooo-beeeee-boooooh" that plays alongside the peacock logo) is also getting a reinvention?

Ugly Betty Rundown: Episode One, "The Manhattan Project"
The return of Ugly Betty was one of the few season premieres last night that didn't have any extra time tacked on. But I was totally fine with that, because the Betty folks managed to deliver a fun first episode of their new season even without bonus minutes. The last time we saw Betty, she had a big choice to make: forever with Henry or a romantic trip abroad with Gio.

When I asked Buzz readers to come up with a song for all 50 of the United States, I knew you'd get it done. But I wasn't expecting you to do it so quickly!
