Michael Caine Reveals Illicit Affair with Miss Piggy
Jim Henson
DVD commentary tracks are really hit or miss. Sure, sometimes you luck out and get one that's kind of fun and interesting, but most of the time, though, it's just some bored star droning on about nothing. All in all, it's no wonder that most people don't even bother listening to the commentary tracks.
If you're one of those people, though, we've got one commentary track that you seriously won't want to miss. Because where else are you going to get to hear about Michael Caine banging a muppet? Get More »

Hey, if anyone can do it, it might be everyone's favorite former Golden Globes host.
The man who once ran "The Office" is in talks to get things started as the human star of the still-untitled "Muppets" sequel, according to Heat Vision.
The details of Gervais' character, like those of the sequel's plot itself, are being kept under wraps, though it's known that he would be playing a lead role equivalent to that of Jason Segel's in the original "Muppets." There's no word on whether this role will require Gervais to sing, though we can't imagine director James Bobin would allow anything otherwise. Get More »

Ty Burrell is on the case of another great Muppet caper in the making.
The "Modern Family" star (who certainly possesses Muppet-like attributes, and we mean that in the nicest way possible) has signed on to be one of the human characters in the still-untitled "Muppets" sequel, according to Heat Vision.
The sequel moves the action right along from America to Europe, creating speculation that the film's plot will involve some sort of international intrigue, a la "The Great Muppet Caper" (1981). The theory is further fueled by one of the main human characters being a still-uncast Russian femme fatale ... and an Interpol agent, to be played by Burell. Get More »

'Dark Knight,' 'Muppets,' 'Chronicle' Tease Up Golden Trailer Awards
Warner Bros.
The fine art of the movie trailer — the sneak peek that can make or break a movie months before it even hits theaters — has been honored once again.

The "Chant" trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises" took home the awards for Best in Show, Best Action and Summer 2012 Blockbuster Trailer as it promised a haunting final chapter to Christopher Nolan's Gotham City chronicles. On the lighter side, the "Their Movie" trailer for "The Muppets" won Best Animation/Family. Get More »

It's a hard-knocks life for furry little guys who can't speak for themselves. But the Muppets have beaten the odds with their box-office hit last year and it's only right to celebrate their long-overdue comeback.
Jason Segel stars in "The Muppets" alongside his puppet bro, Walter, who dreams of meeting his childhood heroes. When they find out an oil tycoon is intent on bringing the Muppet empire down, it's up to Walter to reunite the famous gang and put on one last show to raise enough money to keep the studio from becoming a new home for an oil rig.
To celebrate the movie's home video release on March 20, we're giving away "The Muppets" Wocka Wocka Value Pack to three lucky readers. The pack includes the Blu-ray, DVD, a digital copy and a download code for the upbeat soundtrack ... all autographed by Kermit and Miss Piggy! Better shoot us an email fast before they're all Gonzo.
