This time around the Muppets have cut a new trailer to try and match the feel, but with their sense of humor tossed in. Perhaps some of you have no idea what we're talking about. If that is the case, here is TGWTDT trailer..
While I love the song that they created for it, I am getting tired of seeing the same scenes over and over. I'm ready for a new trailer for the movie, or just for the movie to come out already.

Walter Koenig suggests Babylon 5 return- Walter Koenig has suggested that Babylon 5 could return in some form. The actor told fans at a recent Las Vegas Star Trek convention that series creator J Michael Straczynski is in talks to revive the show. "He told me that he is in negotiations to re-acquire the rights to Babylon 5 and it looks pretty good," said Koenig, who played Bester on the sci-fi drama. Koenig added that it is currently unclear what form the new Babylon 5 will take. "It could be a new series or it could be a feature film, but [Straczynski] was quite animated about it," he said. "He seemed very excited. "Warner Brothers is dealing with him in good faith. So you might see another Babylon 5 in the not too distant future."

Oscar de la hoya admits drag photos 2011: Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya shelled out a whopping $20 million to keep a model quiet over a photo shoot that saw the "Golden Boy" dressed in high heels, fishnet stockings and frilly lingerie, the New York Post reported Thursday, citing sources. The newspaper published the drag photos of De La Hoya frolicking with Siberian knockout Milana Dravnel on Nov. 15, 2007, after which the boxer insisted that the pictures were frauds. De La Hoya, 38, finally admitted the truth in a remarkable Spanish-language interview with Univision on Tuesday, which also saw the fighter say that he contemplated suicide while battling alcohol and drug addictions. "Let me tell you, yes, yes, it was me (in those pictures)," he said. "I am tired now of lying, of lying to the public and of lying to myself." De La Hoya said he was high on booze and cocaine when the racy photos were snapped. After De La Hoya launched a campaign to discredit the wild images, Dravnel filed a federal lawsuit against him, claiming that his handlers duped her into agreeing that the photos were manipulated. They settled the lawsuit out of court, and both sides clammed up, citing a confidentiality agreement. But courthouse sources confirmed Wednesday that De La Hoya paid $20 million to buy her silence. The deal also called for her to give back the heels, lingerie and fishnets that she kept after their kinky photo session.
The Maori attribute the creation of the New Zealand fjords, such as Milford Sound, to Tute Rakiwhanoa, who cut the steep-sided valleys with his adze. What other explanation could there be for these spectacularly steep, sheer cliffs that rise nearly vertically from the ocean? In 1883, explorer James Hingston wrote, "For thousands of feet upwards the eye looks upon straight cut rocky frontages, not worn smooth by time, or by wind or water, but as sharply defined and as fresh looking in all respects as if riven asunder but yesterday by the stupendous wedges of Titanic Masons.” Milford Sound is the best known of the fjords, running nearly 10 miles from its head to the open sea. But being here is just half the fun. The steep and sinuous Milford Road makes the 74-mile drive from Te Anau a stunning immersion in numerous viewpoints of alpine scenery and massive scale, all of which build to the joyous, breathtaking sight of Milford Sound.
Best Vistas of the World: Sahara Desert
Think of the size of the United States: that is the size of the Sahara Desert, which comprises 3.5 million square miles. No wonder Westerners often say “Timbuktu” when they mean “the middle of nowhere.” Eleven nations lie at least partly in the desert. Large swaths are utterly desolate, though the Sahara supports 2 million people, not counting those who live along the Nile and Niger rivers. And the extremes! As hot as 136 degrees Fahrenheit and as cold as 22 degrees; supporting sand gazelles and ants, palm trees and grasses; fairly flat, rocky terrain and the wind-sculpted dunes that loom over it; the vast, shimmering sky and the way it makes a person look inconsequential.
Best Vistas of the World: Olga Mountains
Once they see Uluru, many visitors are satisfied with their time in Australia's Outback, ignoring the Olga Mountains. But those who can stand the sometimes wretchedly harsh conditions are rewarded with the sight of the Olgas, just 15.5 miles west of Uluru. These 36 stunning peaks in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park were formed by rain and wind erosion. The light jabs and jukes at the rocks at sunrise, and you can see Uluru in the distance.
Best Vistas of the World: Iguazu Falls
Shared by Brazil and Argentina, Iguazu Falls is one of the most imposing natural wonders in South America. The indigenous Guarani people called this “great waters” long before Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca stumbled across it in 1541. The Iguazu River runs 745 miles along a smooth plateau, then reaches a series of faults that turn it into a semicircular thundering mass of mist. The falls are actually a group of 270 waterfalls with cliffs and islets. You can take a boat to the base of the falls and really feel the mist, or walk along two footbridges to revel in the panoramic view.
Best Vistas of the World: Oregon Coast
The Oregon coast is the People’s Coast, thanks to the 1967 Oregon Beach Bill, which granted free beach access to everyone. And the people make the most of their coastline, which stretches 363 miles from the Columbia River to California; there are almost too many activities, including hiking, sport fishing, cycling, kite flying, scuba diving, surfing, sand boarding, boating, camping, clam digging, surf fishing, horseback riding and body boarding. Many people are drawn by the scenery, the ghostly sea stacks emerging from the fog, the views from the many headlands of the rock and sand beaches and the sea cliffs; the historic lighthouses, most of which were built before 1900, commissioned to aid in navigating the Graveyard of the Pacific; and the marine life of seals, sea lions and migrating gray and humpback whales.
