The Muppets

'Sesame Street' has been using music, humor, and puppets to teach kids valuable life lessons for over 40 years. Like any titan of children's entertainment, it has been the subject of plenty of rumors.

'Fast and Furious 6' is set to hit theaters next month.

Yesterday Jane Henson passed away. She was 78 years old. During her life, she was married to Jim Henson, and she worked with him until she took a break from puppetry to raise their children.

The new Muppets film doesn’t just revive a long lost tradition of family friendly films. It also revives the long lost art of puppet and person duets, as evidenced by Kermit the Frog’s sweet duet with the new film’s composer (and Flight of the Conchords member) Bret McKenzie.

The Muppets seem to be everywhere promoting their new movie, opening on Wednesday. Last night’s ‘SNL’ was filled with them, starting with the opening monologue with Jason Segel and leading up to Kermit and Seth Meyers’ ‘Really!?!’ segment on Weekend Update.

When Eddie Murphy quit as the Oscars host, Facebook and Twitter users tried to get the Muppets to replace him. That didn’t happen, but they did show up on ‘Saturday Night Live’ last night. They joined their movie co-star Jason Segel, seeming to think they were hosting the show along with him.
