Ever get those little bits of news stuck in between your teeth? And then you’ve got to find your newsfloss? And if you don’t, then you have to visit the newsdentist? Yeah, I took that stupid joke way too far.
First Lady Michelle Obama visited her buddy Elmo, which puts her in that elite club with Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Laura Bush, who have all also made appearances on Sesame Street. Also, they were all married to Presidents.
The great Dom DeLuise passed away this week. Dom is remembered for appearing alongside Koozebanians, monsters, and one irate pig on The Muppet Show. He also set Kermit on his cross-country journey to fame and fortune as Bernie the Agent in The Muppet Movie. He was a fantastic comedic actor, and he’ll be sorely missed by Muppet fans (and everyone else) worldwide.
Kermit made an amphibious appearance in Prince Charles’ Rainforests Project Awareness Campaign video along with James Bond, Indiana Jones, some royal British guys, a Buddhist monk, and Mork from Ork.
Last year, a gallery in Seattle showed a series of artworks featuring the Muppets on famous album cover parodies. They’re at it again this year, and a few of the pieces have already been leaked. We’ll have more on this show as it gets closer to the premiere, so keep an eye on this site. Click here for info on the show, and click here for a gallery of last year’s works.
Have you seen the new trailer for Night at the Museum 2 yet? No? Well, go see Wolverine and get back to me. Rumors were confirmed that Oscar the Grouch (who actually does have a second home at the Smithsonian) makes a “very brief cameo”, alongside Sith grouch Darth Vader.
