Muppets Sequel Is On — But Without Jason Segel?!

3/01/2012 10:30 PM ET | Filed under: Film Flickers • Disney • The Muppets • Jason Segel

We don't know what to do! It's like Batman without Robin!

Disney has reached an agreement to give us more Muppets but Jason Segel may not be returning to help write the sequel.

Director James Bobin and co-writer Nicholas Stoller have inked deals to bring Kermit and the gang back but due to his busy schedule, Jason may have to part ways. The HIMYM star will be promoting his upcoming flicks Five Year Engagement and This Is Forty this year, along with other projects he wants to write.

Segel and Stoller originally pitched The Muppets back in 2008 so it'll be sad if this dynamic duo breaks up.

But the silver lining is if the script's top notch, Jason will act in the feature.

Let's hope The Muppets sequel is as good as the last with or without him!

It wouldn't be the same. He has a love for puppets and just understood the Muppets. I don't see it being as good without his writing.

Meh…I think its a good thing. This last muppets was a little depressing. Kermit was too sad the whole time, too much drama…not enough muppets goodness. Bring on some zany wacky fun loving muppets classic skits…and Ill be much happier

Miami Marlins Star Pitcher Jose Fernandez Killed In Boating Accident

This is unimaginably tragic.

Miami Marlins star pitcher Jose Fernandez was killed in a boating accident in Miami early Sunday morning, the MLB team has confirmed. He was just 24 years old.

The pitcher and two other unidentified people were pronounced dead early Sunday after a Coast Guard patrol found a 33-foot boat overturned on a jetty about 3:30 a.m. local Miami time, according to Coast Guard Chief Nyxolyno Cangemi.

The accident is currently being investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The Marlins, who were set to play the Atlanta Braves today, have canceled their game in light of the tragedy surrounding Fernandez (pictured above, left, laughing with an umpire during a game last week).

The team did release a statement on the matter, though (below):
