'The Muppets 2,' the sequel to the 2011 film, has just cast 'Modern Family' star Ty Burrell in the role that once almost belonged to Christoph Waltz.

Neil Patrick Harris is one cool dude. He knows how to speak bear and he takes getting groped by a 'Price is Right' contestant like a champ. If that's not enough for you to prove his sheer awesomeness, let us break some fantastic news: he's now joined forces with The Muppets to create a strangely awesome new web series called 'Neil's Puppet Dreams.'

Last we heard, 'The Muppets 2' was bringing Oscar-winning Christoph Waltz on to join the sequel (which was being described as akin to 'The Great Muppet Caper') but now we have some more details on 'The Muppets 2' which looks to be happening sooner rather than later.

It's been quiet on the 'Muppet 2' front for a while. We knew that James Bobin would return to write and direct, with writing assistance from Nicholas Stoller, and we knew that the sequel would be Jason Segel-free. But it looks like now they've started the casting process for the next film, and the first name is a bit of a surprise: Christoph Waltz.

When the Muppets hit the streets and head to Washington DC to exercise their right of free speech, I wonder if they'll be sing Mahna Mahna? Look out Washington, here comes the “Million Muppet March”! The Million Muppet March is a demonstration taking place at the National Mall in Washington just in time for the election. The March is scheduled for November 3rd and the election is Tuesday November

It’s up for debate whether this blooper reel, which appears as an extra on ‘The Muppets’ DVD, is the longest ever in Muppet history as it’s billed. But it’s certainly one of the funniest. Mahna mah-oops!

While there are no new movies in wide release this weekend, you may have been too busy eating the last of your mom’s famous pumpkin pie to check out those released over the Thanksgiving holiday — so here’s another look at them. In the animated flick ‘Arthur Christmas,’ Santa Claus’ son Arthur embarks on an urgent mission that must be completed before the dawn of Christmas morning...

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry reportedly had their scenes in ‘The Muppets’ cut. Combining Gaga and Perry with alpha female Muppet Miss Piggy would have been too much diva for one film. The multiplex would have spontaneously combusted, so maybe slashing their supposed scenes was a good idea.

‘The Muppets’ is one of the holiday season’s most anticipated movies. Now you can watch the opening musical number weeks before it’s November 23rd release.
