In honor of the 22nd anniversary of Jim Henson's death, here are some notable famous fictional characters with their loving creators.
TV Buzz Things escalated quickly on “The Talk” this afternoon when Sharon Osbourne showed Miss Piggy a picture of her in bed with Kermit the Frog. What ensued was a terribly nasty fight between the two of them. Hair was pulled, necks were choked, and they had to break to commercial before someone was killed.
Movie Buzz Shots fired! At a recent press conference in London, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy were asked about recent claims by Fox Business anchor Eric Bolling that “The Muppets” pushes a liberal agenda meant to brainwash children. Here's their response. (via The Daily What)
Culture Buzz In honor of “The Muppets” opening this weekend, you can check out this trip down memory lane. Kermit and Gonzo guest-hosted “Larry King Live” in 1994. Their guests were Ted Koppel, David Gergen, supermodel Carol Alt, and Hulk Hogan. You can watch all of the nostalgic goodness here.
Culture Buzz Balloooooons!!! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Kermit and Yoda actually have a lot in common. At least that's what Peter de Sève (better known for his New Yorker covers and his Ice Age character designs) thought. After all, they're both green, live in swamps and are Muppets - maybe they knew each other. (Via)

And 'lo, a green amphibious angel descended unto the Earth to feel the warm embrace of gorgeous swine.
Presenting the long-awaited take on Queen's classic by everyone's favorite felt-and-googley-eyed friends (and, no, we don't mean Adam Lambert's back-up dancers). Our only complaint: more ROWLF!
