Someone was a baaad boy!!

Jason Segel's career in comedy has won him tonz of ca$h and praise — but winning over his audience wasn't always easy!

The actor and Muppets co-writer admits that back in middle school, an attempt to give his classmates a chuckle got him in BIG trouble.

We were pretty bummed to hear that Jason Segel wouldn't be returning to The Muppets sequel in any capacity, but that doesn't mean his brother won't!

Screenwriter Nicholas Stoller has confirmed that Walter, the newest muppet introduced in the last movie, isn't going anywhere and will be "heavily involved in the story."

Yayyy!

But much like most of the Muppet movies, Kermit will be the focus, as Stoller explained:

Oh no!

Jason Segel’s work on The Muppets was magical, and we couldn’t wait to see what he had in store for the sequel.

But when Jason confirmed that he would not be writing or starring in the next installment of The Muppets, our hearts were crushed!!!

To top it off, we've now found out he won’t even make a freakin’ cameo!

What’s the deal, Segel?

We wish they would do this here! We would totally go!!

Carnegie Hall was just the location of one of the greatest meetings in history. We're talking Muppets meeting Sesame Street!

They might be from different places, but deep down (to the hand?) they have a lot in common… which is exactly what The Rainbow Connection preaches!

Over the weekend The Muppets, Sesame Street, and the Fraggles all came together for a magical tribute called

The adorable Amy Adams proved her singing siren ways in Enchanted and The Muppets, and this summer she will take on Central Park as The Baker’s wife in a Delacorte Theater summer production of Into The Woods.

The fun, fantastical play features characters like Cinderella, Rapunzel, & the Wolf, and will begin previews on July 23, running until August 25.

There is NOTHING quite like viewing some summer theater in Central Park…and Amy Adams just adds extra sweetness to the sunshine pie!

Will U head out to NYC this summer to see Miss Adams??

The Muppets won't sit around and watch their name get thrown around casually!

In Greg Smith's open resignation letter, he calls out his former employer, Goldman Sachs, for naming clients "muppets."

Although it was a small snippet of the letter, the reference has spread through the internet like wildfire and The Muppets are ready to take action!

Comedically, of course!

Check out the video (above) and watch as a few disgruntled Muppets lay a legal smackdown on Goldman Sachs.

HIGHlarious!!!!

Hooray!

The uber talented Muppets received a well deserved star this morning on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

Joined by Lisa and Brian Henson, the son & daughter of the master of the Muppets, Jim Henson, the Muppets are the 2,466th recipient of a Walk of Fame star.

And it couldn’t of happened to a better group of people–err–Muppets.
