Angelina Jolie is a woman of many talents, but we certainly can guess which one of those her kids appreciate the most:

Her reigning title as the QUEEN of the toy store!

Seriously! The doting mother is ALWAYS down to bring her kids to buy some cool new stuff at stores, regardless of what country they may be in at the moment!

This time around, however, Angie was stateside, and was spotted bringing Maddox and Knox to the FAO Schwartz in New York City Friday afternoon!

And look (above)!

You can just SEE the excitement written over little Knox's face! And the determination in Maddox's eyes for more TOYS!

Hope you guys picked out some goods ones!

Hopefully Disney can work all of this out before that next Muppets movie is released!

Former Married…With Children executive producer Russell Marcus has filed a lawsuit against Disney/Jim Henson Co./The Muppets Studio, claiming they haven't paid him royalties for coming up with the idea of a Muppet Workshop.

For those of you who haven't experienced the magic of a Muppet Workshop, it's kind of like a Build-A-Bear Workshop, only you build Muppets instead of bears (well, unless you build Fozzie…)

Marcus claims he signed an agreement in 1998 to become more involved with the "Muppet brand," and then in 2000 he pitched the Muppet Workshop concept, and a year after that Henson signed a written agreement with him which ensured that he'd get 2.5% of royalties from Muppet Workshop-related profits.

After Disney bought the Muppets though, they started placing Muppet Workshops in FAO Schwartz and then Disney theme parks. When Marcus asked about them, he says Disney claimed they haven't profited from the workshops.

Marcus is NOT convinced though, and he's suing Disney for "breach of contract, fraud and deceit, and unjust enrichment," and he's demanding compensatory damages.

Sorry to hear it, Marcus. If you in fact came up with the idea, we completely understand how you'd want the proper monetary compensation….but as Kermit says, it's not easy being making green.
