After  all of the wonderful trailers we’ve seen for The Muppets, we finally have a clip of the movie itself. Woo hoo! Love me some Muppets! This clip features co-writer/featured human Jason Segel and a new muppet character, Walter, as they prepare to embark on a trip to the fabled Muppet Theater.

The synopsis for the film: When they learn that Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) wants to drill under the Muppet Theater for oil, Gary (Segel), Mary (Amy Adams) and their muppet friend Walter set out to find the Muppets.  Split up for years,  Kermit lives in his own mansion in Hollywood, Gonzo is a high class plumber, Fozzie performs with a tribute band called The Moopets , Miss Piggy is the plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, and Animal is at a celebrity anger management rehab center in Santa Barbara. Can they put aside their differences and reunite to save their beloved theater?

The Muppets opens in the US & Canada November 23 (3 more weeks!), but not until 10 February in the UK. (That’s payback for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)

Green With Envy - The Muppets

Okay, so I know that the poster and all doesn’t look like a Muppet Movie… but you just have to go with it!  The trailer shows you what is really going on and it is GREAT!  I am so excited for this movie.  I grew up watching the Muppets and seeing this reboot is beyond fabulous.

The focus of the story is Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Segel) and Mary (Adams), Together, they discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.

Jack Black, Emily Blunt, and Jason Segel gave the cameras a good time on the red carpet for 20th Century Fox’s Premiere of ‘Gulliver’s Travels‘ held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood last night.

Emily Blunt & John Krasinski Are Married

I am very anxious to see this one.  I loved the classic when I was a kid and this one, with Jack Black….. well, I adore him.  So for me, you just can’t go wrong.

In case you never saw this as a kid because you lived in a tiny bubble, here’s the low down:

In a contemporary re–imagining of the classic tale, Jack Black stars as Gulliver, a big–talking mailroom clerk who, after he’s mistakenly assigned a travel piece on the Bermuda Triangle, suddenly finds himself a giant among men when he washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput, home to a population of very tiny people. At first enslaved by the diminutive and industrious Liliputians, and later declared their hero, Gulliver comes to learn that it’s how big you are on the inside that counts.

I will definitely be watching this flick over Christmas break.  Merry Christmas!

Cameron Diaz can be seen looking lovely and leggy downtown in Los Angeles on the set of her film Bad Teacher that also stars former lover Justin Timberlake and Jason Segel (he isn’t also her former lover, he he he.  Well at least that I know of although she would be one. lucky. girl.  Have you seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall?  Mother Nature was uber generous to him).

Justin and Jason can also be seen filming their scenes (some of the pictures are a bit on the blurry side), but none of Justin and Cameron filming together.  At least not yet. You know that has to be coming.  At least we can hope so, right?

Mila Kunis was on hand at the Writers Guild Awards last night in Los Angeles where Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker and Jason Reitman’s Up In The Air won Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay respectively.

The buzz is that Kathryn is a favourite for Best Director at the Oscars.  If she does she will make Oscar history for being the first woman to ever win. Sofia Coppola was the first woman ever nominated in 2003 for Lost in Translation.

Also in attendance last night:

• James Cameron
• Cheryl Hines
• Morgan Freeman
• John Corbett
• Larry David
• Judd Apatow
• Lesie Mann
• Jason Segel
• Billy Crystal
• Max Burnett
• Jason Alexander

Preggers Alyson Hannigan (with husband Alexis Denisoff) looks beautiful as she attends the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences evening with HIMYM.  I’m doing this post because, well, I love that show, but mostly because my husband has it bad for Alyson!!

Canadian, Cobie Smulders told People at the event that she is engaged to her boyfriend Taran Killam but the wedding isn’t the main focus:

“We’re focused on the baby right now,” “and when we actually have a second, then we’ll start thinking about that.”

She wouldn’t divulge how he proposed to her except to say “It was very romantic”

Fellow castmates Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, and Josh Radnor also attended.

Congrats on the engagement and the pregnancy
