...Johnson has a new look for the new season of Miami Vice: the stubble is still in place, but the wardrobe is darker, the hair shorter. He also has a new celebrity interviewer: Miss Piggy of the Muppets, whom he squired around Miami for the latest issue of Muppet magazine. Johnson gallantly allows to Her Porcinity that if they expose themselves to fans at an exclusive restaurant, "they'll probably climb over me to get to you." Perhaps not. This week Heartbeat, Johnson's first album of pop rock and rhythm-and-blues tunes, is to be released. It features...
...tall, on point. His face has the canine cantankerousness of a mutt on David Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks. He secured TV fame playing a gnomish cab dispatcher with a heart of gunk. Not, you might say, Hollywood's idea of a leading man, unless for a Muppet remake of Rumpelstiltskin. But in today's Hollywood, where the hottest teen idol is a 64-year-old named Rodney Dangerfield, anything is possible. So why not Danny DeVito as the topliner of the highly liked summer hit Ruthless People? Or as the scene stealer in a rock video touting a previous...
...just an aspiring piglet in the chorus line and her colleague a former tadpole. But even though the amphibian has since made it big in TV and films like The Muppets Take Manhattan, as well as star turns in the toy department, he hasn't forgotten his lily-pond roots. Next month Muppet Creator Jim Henson and more than 200 of Kermit's friends are getting together to toast America's best-known frog on his 30th birthday. Called The Muppets, a Celebration of 30 Years, the one-hour CBS special will feature Fozzie Bear as master of ceremonies...
...hard pressed to find such images in even the most violent of Saturday morning cartoons. Teaching kids to be sociable is our era's priority: It is seven o'clock in the morning, and a nation of restless children sits spellbound before the TV image of an enormous yellow muppet. Watching "Sesame Street", they will learn how to cooperate, how not to hurt others' feelings, how to get along with people who are different from themselves. In the wake of the advances in public health and medicine, fellow classmates, more than the spectre of death, confront children...
...cuddly playmate for a lonely boy but the resurrection of love in a life gone sour. Starman's appearance to Jenny is a double shock: he is both the incarnation and a parody of her lost love. He speaks in the tones of a computerized Muppet and moves in twitches, like a punk robot. But he is innocent and kind, and as alone in the universe as she feels. She can befriend him, teach him, mother him and finally love him-whoever he is, whomever she wants him to be. She can travel with him, as the movie does...
