Feuds Sesame Street

Elmo comes clean about his long-standing beef with Rocco

269917936_493586768731668_5311581776787189023_n


Twitter can be annoying but it can also liven up a pretty dismal week. Twitter user @WumBooty posted an old video clip of Sesame Street’s Elmo disagreeing with his friend and co-star, Zoe, over her pet rock Rocco. At a neighborhood cafe, Elmo wanted the last oatmeal raisin cookie, but Zoe had already given it to Rocco, her pet rock. Elmo launched into a frustrated and hilarious argument about why it was a waste to give an unalive rock a raisin oatmeal cookie. After the clip went viral many tweeted out support for Elmo. This prompted Elmo to release a statement that he and Zoe were still good friends but he has nothing to say about Rocco. Later Elmo sent a petty tweet about his archrival Rocco. Below are a few highlights via E! Online. The tweet that includes the clip is below:

The 35-second clip, which was taken from a 2004 Sesame Street episode titled “Elmo feels he’s treated unfairly by Rocco,” showed the beloved children’s icon completely losing his cool when Zoe told him he couldn’t have an oatmeal raisin cookie that had been reserved for Rocco.

So, how does Elmo feel about Zoe and Rocco now? As fans flooded social media with their thoughts, with many agreeing that Elmo had every right to be upset over losing a cookie to rock, the Sesame Street star shared an update on where he stands with his co-stars.

“Don’t worry everybody! Elmo and Zoe practiced sharing and are still best buds forever!” Elmo tweeted on Wednesday, Jan. 5. “Elmo loves you Zoe! Ha ha ha!”

However, it appears Elmo isn’t ready to let go of the cookie incident with Rocco just yet.

“Elmo doesn’t want to talk about Rocco,” he continued, adding in another tweet, “Has anybody ever seen a rock eat a cookie? Elmo is just curious.”

[From E! Online]

This was the lighthearted fun I needed this week. When that clip showed up on my timeline, I laughed so hard that I had tears in my eyes. I knew Elmo didn’t suffer fools and that clip proved it. Poor Elmo was so exasperated with Zoe, it just made him that much cuter. I must admit that I came on the Elmo train late by way of the Tickle Me Elmo doll. By the time Elmo appeared on Sesame Street for the first time in 1984, I had stopped watching the show (I was 8 at the time) so I didn’t get to enjoy Elmo in all his shadiness.

I am normally Switzerland in situations like this, but in this feud I am definitely #TeamElmo. Elmo deserved, and not that inanimate object, deserved that damn cookie. I mean, how dare Rocco take Elmo’s favorite cookie? I also love how Elmo tweeted about rocks eating cookies. I could tell that Elmo was still salty about Rocco wanting that oatmeal raisin cookie all these years later. (Elmo ended up taking the cookie and told Rocco not to chew with his mouth open.) Celebrities also got involved in the feud. Jada Pinkett-Smith tweeted at Elmo and invited him, Zoe and Rocco to the Red Table Talk. I had hopes that there would be a bidding war between Oprah and Jada to get the trio, but alas, only Jada made an offer. I am looking forward to seeing where this feud goes.

Big Bird Sesame Street Ted Cruz

Big Bird got the Covid vaccine, much to the ire of Ted Cruz & various right-wingers

2019 Kennedy Center Honors Formal Group Photo

Republicans have always had beef with public broadcasting and Sesame Street in particular. The GOP has cried salty tears about Sesame Street trying to educate kids about race and racism, gay rights, AIDS and tons of other issues. But this month, there’s ire towards one Sesame Street character in particular: Big Bird. It all started when Big Bird’s official Twitter account announced, in Big Bird’s voice, that he had gotten the Covid vaccine. It makes sense that Sesame Street is doing this right now, because the Covid vaccines were only recently approved for little kids, and there have been so many amazing stories for a week now about little 5-year-olds being super-brave while they’re getting their vaccines. So Big Bird wanted to let those kids know that he also got his vaccine, and he didn’t even remember that he’d been getting vaccines since he was a little bird:

I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.

Ms. @EricaRHill even said I’ve been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!

— Big Bird (@BigBird) November 6, 2021

President Biden praised Big Bird:

Good on ya, @BigBird. Getting vaccinated is the best way to keep your whole neighborhood safe.

— President Biden (@POTUS) November 8, 2021

Others noted that since the early days of Sesame Street, Big Bird and others have been pro-vaccine and pro-immunization programs. Big Bird especially has been involved with childhood vaccine programs since the 1970s. But apparently this was all breaking news to the chuckleheads of the modern GOP, especially Ted Cruz. Imagine being this upset that a fictional character in a beloved children’s show is trying to help kids stay safe with vaccines. Someone called Big Bird a communist!!! LMAO. All birds are communists.

Government propaganda…for your 5 year old! https://t.co/lKUlomnpq1

Charlize Theron on Sean Penn: ‘I Really Didn’t See It Coming’

Charlize Theron Vogue cover

Charlize Theron covers the June issue of Vogue, where she talks about dating Sean Penn after being friends with him for nearly two decades.

Jimmy Kimmel’s Mean Tweets series will never get old. Up this time are Julia Roberts, Emma Stone, Matthew McConaughey and more – though Gary Oldman‘s reaction is the best.

-Also funny from last night: Hugh Jackman and Jimmy Fallon competed in a cooler scooter race.

Skylar Astin has been confirmed for Pitch Perfect 2. Wait, was that ever in doubt? Because there’s no aca-awseomeness without Jesse!

Emma Thompson talks about cracking penis jokes, hating Twitter and finding rich people’s conversations “exhausting” in a new interview with Vanity Fair. There is no end to my love for her.

-Oh. My. God. There is a very dubious (but very awesome) report about Chris Martin taking his kids to a fast food restaurant. I so want this to be true.

Snooki says she “did every interview drunk” in her Jersey Shore days. How is that different from now?

Will and Jada Pinkett Smith might be under investigation by Child Protective Services for that photo of Willow in bed with a grown ass man. I wonder if she soon be living with her auntie and uncle in Bel Air?

-Jimmy Fallon has a Stanley Cup bet going with the Montreal Canadiens, and it’s pretty great.

Charlie Sheen got all pissy and wrote a Twitter rant against Rihanna because she declined to meet him when they both ended up at the same restaurant recently. Smart girl, that one.

Rihanna and Beyoncé reportedly get $100,000 for attending fashion shows. Worth every penny.

Jennifer Lawrence made a ill-conceived rape joke and now everyone’s freaking.

Jen’s having a rough week: she also told that story on Seth Meyers last night about how she threw up at an Oscars after-party and Miley Cyrus told her to “get it together” – and then Miley said she was lying.

-Everyone in the Firefly cast is still awesome, just in case you were worried.

-Did anyone else cringe a lot while watching Brad Pitt dance at the Bruno Mars concert? I mean, it wasn’t Tom Cruise-levels of horrifying, but it was still kinda wince-y. When Michael Strahan was covering it on this morning’s GMA, he was all “what’s Brad doing with his hands? We need to work on that.”

Lupita Nyong’o appeared on Mexico’s version of Sesame Street. It’s in Spanish, but I can only assume she’s being adorable.

Kirsten Dunst and Isla Fisher are buddies. Who knew?

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler roasted Don Rickles and it was glorious.

-Holy mother, the Lizzie Bennet Diaries just posted a new video even though the series ended a year ago. And it’s called “Bonus 1″. Does that mean Bonus 2, 3, 4, and 5 are coming?! This is giving me all the squees.

Jude Law’s deep v is beyond disturbing.

Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy were banned from using golf carts on the X-Men set because they kept getting into bloody accidents — but that didn’t stop them from roping Hugh Jackman and Nicholas Hoult into their shenanigans.

Nikki Reed has filed for divorce from Paul McDonald two months after they announced their split.

Jason Segel wrote a children’s book. Between this and his puppet obsession, he really is just an overgrown kid, huh?

-A burglar scaled the walls of George Clooney’s Lake Como villa and stole some wine from his cellar. Seems about right.

Justin Bieber was spotted getting close with supermodels Barbara Palvin and Adriana Lima at Cannes because there is no justice in this world.

-I understand why AMC decided to break Mad Men season seven into two halves, but I still hate it.

-Sad: The Shield’s Michael Jace has been formally charged with murdering his wife.

-Who knew that Ron Weasley could sing?

-People were tweeting from the Blended premiere last night, saying that Andy Dick was stuck behind barricade yelling “get me the f in bro” to Adam Sandler.

-The Kimye wedding is this weekend, and her clan has already invaded Paris. Oh, and Kim has Jennifer Aniston’s hairstylist on call for the entire weekend.

-Meanwhile, Beyonce still hasn’t confirmed her attendance. heheheh

-I don’t watch American Idol but I tuned in for a bit of last night’s finale and was amazed how much I liked Jennifer Lopez (I think her interactions with Keith and Harry humanize her). The judges all performed together – as did Ryan Seacrest tried to sing, too.

-The trailer for the Roger Ebert documentary Life Itself looks beautiful.

Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def, canceled his US tour amid rumours that he was forbidden from entering the country.

-Why has everyone started posting bath selfies? From Miley Cyrus to Kelly Rutherford, I clearly have to start weeding out my following list on Instagram.

-If you don’t watch The Americans, you should really catch up over the summer. Last night’s finale was devastatingly good.

-The first teaser for season two of Masters of Sex is all about the love triangle.

-Here’s Kristen Stewart and Juliette Binoche in the trailer for Clouds of Sils Maria, which will debut at Cannes.

-Canadian wunderkind Xavier Dolan’s Mommy is killing it in Cannes. Critics are raving about it and it might even win the Palme d’Or.

-I love and adore Emma Stone and Colin Firth, but watching them get romantic in Woody Allen’s Magic in the Moonlight? I’m just not sure I can get on board with this.

Jennifer Lawrence Squashes Her “Beef” with Jimmy Fallon

Jennifer Lawrence was adorable on Fallon last night, calling him out for leaving her hanging with Jennifer Lopez before playing “Box of Lies.”

-This is nuts: an unidentified man was dragged away by security after crashing the Cannes red carpet and hiding under actress America Ferrera’s dress. I love how Cate Blanchett jumped into protector/comforter mode, while Kit Harrington just stood there.

-I love Blake Lively’s hair in Cannes. At least something’s going well there. Her hubby’s attempt to mount a comeback certainly isn’t.

Anna Kendrick says she took Aubrey Plaza with her to be “bad cop” when she bought a car.

Prince Harry sent his very first tweet ever. Surprisingly, it wasn’t to weigh in on Jay Z and Solange‘s elevator fight.

Helena Bonham Carter says she once drunkenly asked Prince William to be her child’s godfather. “He wisely said no.”

Tom Hardy is going to star in Kathryn Bigelow’s adaptation of True American. I’m anticipating a lot of drinking while yelling out the names of presidents.

-I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy anymore, but the general consensus is that Sandra Oh deserved a better sendoff.

-Scandal’s Columbus Short pleaded not guilty to the felony charge from his alleged restaurant brawl. What a charmer.

-The guy from Chuck and Sesame Street want you to get off Facebook and go outside.

-Is Ashley Benson even old enough to remember Baywatch?!

Kanye West says Kim Kardashian is his muse: “I consult her on elegance and what I wear.”

-Meanwhile, despite all those rumours about Paris and Versailles, Kimye are actually getting married in Florence.

-I’m glad AMC picked up Chris Hardwick‘s celebrity bowling show. The YouTube videos with the casts of Mad Men and Breaking Bad are hilarious.

Barbara Walters‘ last day on The View featured surprise visits from Hillary Clinton and Oprah.

-The first cast photo for This Is Where I Leave You makes me want to re-read the book immediately

-Even though they made him a star, Viggo Mortenson is quick to criticize the “senseless” scripts for End of Violence and The Lord of the Rings.

Jon Hamm and Naomi Watts posed in dramatic photos for Bulgari’s Save the Children campaign.

-Speaking of Hamm, I really liked Million Dollar Arm. It’s schmaltzy and predictable but sweet. Critics are more into Godzilla this weekend, though.

Johnny Depp as a balding man with blond hair is terrifying (more so that usual).

-Matthew McConaughey takes The McConaissance to space in the trailer for Christopher Nolan’s shrouded-in-secrecy new movie, Interstellar.

Benedict Cumberbatch covers High Life: ‘I’m not a macho alpha male sort of guy’

Cumby3

Considering how many times Benedict Cumberbatch has already cheated death (I think we’re up to a baker’s dozen), it’s weird that he keeps on tempting fate. Benedict signed on to do a “road test,” photoshoot and interview in the Arctic Circle for High Life Magazine. There are photos, there are new Batch quotes and there was a Jaguar that purred deliciously. I’m kind of thinking that Benedict just needs to audition for James Bond already.

*stares off into distance, fantasizing about Double-O-Batch*

Anyway, I’m not super-interested in the Jaguar stuff – I would imagine that this is cross-promotion, not unlike Jennifer Aniston’s many interviews on behalf of Aveeno. But Benedict goes all out for his contracts. I mean, he went to the Arctic Circle to drive a Jag on sheets of ice. HARDCORE. Of course, he also got to hang out with some Husky puppies, and the dogs immediately feel under the spell of The Batch (they are now literally Cumberbitches). You can read the full High Life piece here, and here are some highlights:

Description of The Batch: He’s dressed in a thick fur-collared jacket, black salopettes, chunky blue scarf, big snow boots, thick gloves and woolly hat. He’s tall (6ft), ramrod straight, just 37, slim (though trying to bulk up for his next part as a mercenary in Blood Mountain), has a blemish-free and stubble-free complexion, ice-blue eyes and swept-back auburn brown hair.

Working so much: ‘I’ve played so many characters so fast. I had a bank holiday weekend to transfer from Sherlock Holmes into Christopher Tietjens [in Parade’s End].’

His new sex symbol image: ‘[I’m] apparently a sex symbol — although it’s a bit of a mystery why as my face has not changed that much during the ten years I have been in this business’.

He almost damaged the money: He tells us he tripped recently while jogging on Hampstead Heath and, when he fell, he thought he was going to smash his face. His next thought was for Steven Moffat, the co-creator of Sherlock, who, ‘would not have been impressed’.

Playing with the huskies: Benedict loves dogs although he says he’s too busy to own one. Before he goes out on a sled, he’s on all fours in the snow with a dog tickling its tummy, his new best friend.

Appearing on Sesame Street: ‘One of the best fun things I’ve ever done’.

He tries to embrace ‘all the riches of life’ and likes daredevil sports: ‘I’m not a macho alpha male sort of guy but I do like living on the edge a bit. I like skydiving, snowboarding, kite surfing and I ride a motorbike in London.’

His famous roles: Benedict tells me he got the part of Sherlock after the producers saw him in Atonement playing Paul Marshall, ‘a chocolate millionaire paedophile rapist. He’s the darkest character I’ve ever played.’ The hardest character to play? WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. ‘There is such moral ambiguity there. Also, he wouldn’t meet me although we had an email relationship to try to get his perspective.’ The character he’d most like to play? ‘David Bowie.’

[From High Life]

I would agree that Benedict is not a “macho alpha male sort of guy.” I’m glad he knows that about himself. But I’m growing weary of all of the daredevil stuff, the skydiving and Arctic test driving and being held at gunpoint (that happened when he was really young, but still). Why can’t he just stay in London (or his Venice Beach home?!) and drink a nice cup of tea?

Little things: I’m looking forward to him bulking up! He put on a lot of muscle weight when he did Star Trek and he looked amaze-balls. I’m also glad that everyone knows he has AUBURN hair at this point. Nowadays, everybody knows about the auburn dong muff. Is that good news or bad news?
