TV BUZZ: Kanye West is teaming up with Comedy Central to create a new show described as “Hip hop meets the Muppets”. The show’s being produced by Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla’s Jackhole Productions which also did Crank Yankers. Looks like the puppet music video for Champion gave some desperate Cable TV execs an idea. Unfortunately, Jim Henson was not available, so they settled on Kanye instead.

CULTURE BUZZ: Sad Kermit, who covers the saddest songs ever, has a new video where he re-enacts the attempted suicide scene from The Royal Tenenbaums. I always knew from watching the Muppet Babies that Kermit would grow up to be the emo one.
