It's A Big Week For Blue
3 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's a big week for blue characters in TV and film. On Monday, "X-Men" director Bryan Singer tweeted a photo of Jennifer Lawrence in her full blue glory, done up for her role of Mystique in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," and this weekend, "Arrested Development" character Tobias Fünke who famously "blue" himself returns with Netflix's release of new "Arrested Development" episodes.
Blue-hued characters have held a special place in pop culture for decades, inexplicably appearing far more often than their counterparts from the rest of the color wheel. Take a spin through a brief history of blue characters below.
Jennifer Lawrence was painted blue for her role in "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
In "Big Fat Liar," Paul Giamatti's character Marty Wolf is shown blue.
The Smurfs may be the most famous blue characters, making their mark in their comic strip, television series, and film.

Fatima Ptacek Interview: The 'Dora The Explorer' Audition She Didn't Know She Had
21 hours ago | Filmology | See recent Filmology news »
Starting out as a commercial model, Fatima Ptacek probably never thought she'd one day be the voice of an iconic animated character while attending the Oscars in the very same year. At only 12 years old, Ptacek has performed in the Oscar-winning 19 minute short Curfew written and directed by Shawn Christensen, and is currently the voice of Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer.
We recently caught up with Ptacek, as she revealed what it was really like to attend the Oscars and after parties, what it was like to film a Sesame Street with a very special guest, and how she was shocked to find out about landing Dora without even auditioning--well, sort of.
When did you know you wanted to be an actor?
I was told when I was younger, 5, people were constantly telling me that I had a great personality, I was super outgoing, and so when I finally had the »

21 May 2013 7:08 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Astoria's Museum of the Moving Image is adding a Jim Henson gallery set to feature almost 400 pieces of Muppet-abilia. "It’s only fitting that this extraordinary collection of puppets, costumes, props, and more should find a home in New York, where imagination and free expression are part of the fabric of our city, and where anyone who’s watched an episode of Sesame Street sees the inspiration provided by the vibrant neighborhoods and characters that make our city so extraordinary," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. The new gallery will launch in winter 2014-2015. The museum recently hosted the Jim Henson's Fantastic World exhibit. »

New Muppets Gallery Coming To Queens Museum
21 May 2013 12:38 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York — The Muppets may have taken Manhattan, but they're getting a spiffy new home in Queens.
Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Bert and Ernie of "Sesame Street" fame, the stars of "Fraggle Rock" and other puppets, costumes and items from throughout Muppets creator Jim Henson's career have been donated to the Museum of the Moving Image, which is building a new gallery to house them, the institution announced Tuesday.
Encompassing almost 400 items ranging from original puppets to behind-the-scenes footage, the gift is a boon for the 25-year-old museum, which saw attendance skyrocket during a temporary exhibit in 2011 and 2012 of Henson's work. And it fulfills a cherished goal for Henson's widow and collaborator, Jane Henson, who died last month at 78.
"She loved the Muppet characters as though they were part of her own family," and the actual puppets themselves were very special to her, one of the couple's daughters, »

Review: Meet the Fraggles
12 May 2013 10:03 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
One of the most amazing things about the talented and long-missed Jim Henson is that he was always creating something new, exploring news forms of storytelling and puppetry. While he may have started out with single characters, such as Kermit, he went on to create characters that hawked cereal and interacted with humans on Saturday Night Live. In between, he also helped pioneer engaging and educational children’s television with Sesame Street’s inhuman inhabitants and created a universe of Muppets. When HBO was looking for original fare in the 1980s, it made perfect sense that they turn to Henson who whipped up a brand new universe of characters, the Fraggles. His Fraggle Rock lasted five seasons and 96 wonderful episodes.
Coming this week is Fraggle Rock: 30th Anniversary Collection, including every episode plus recently discovered behind the scenes interviews, a collectible Red plush keychain, and an all new exclusive »

Minnesota governor thinks Chris Kluwe release is fishy, Ricky Martin lobbies for equal rights, The Venture Brothers returns
Towie‘s sexy Kirk Norcross has had images of his naked Skype with a girl published on the web. No, the images aren’t at the link, but you can find them easily enough. I’m actually impressed, both with what he has below the belt, and his response to the situation. “People these days!!!! Cooooome oooonnn guys we have all done it I’m just the stupid one that got caught! Sorry guys ” I’m not sorry at all, Kirk.
Will The Muppets…Again! open only seconds after the last movie ended? It sure looks that way.

Can Kevin Clash win Daytime Emmys for 'Sesame Street' despite scandal?
2 May 2013 9:58 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
On Wednesday, "Sesame Street" puppeteer Kevin Clash found his name in the news for something other than his current legal troubles tied to allegations of sexual abuse. The man behind Elmo was nominated for four Daytime Emmys. Back in November, Clash was hit with a lawsuit accusing him of having had sex with an underage teenager several years earlier. “Sesame Street” suspended him before he ultimately resigned after 28 years of working on the children’s show. Since then, several other men have come forward with similar allegations. The cases are still pending in court and Clash has maintained his innocence throughout. Clash contends for Children's Series Performer as well as a part of the producing and directing teams for "Sesame Street" and as a producer of “Little Children, Big Challenges: Divorce” which contends for New Approaches (Enhancement of a Program or Series). Clash has an impressive track record at th. »

Ex-Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash receives Daytime Emmy nomination
1 May 2013 9:54 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Kevin Clash resigned from "Sesame Street" back in November 2012 after working as the voice of Elmo for nearly 30 years after several accusers came forward with allegations of underage sex.
All accusers were male and their stories were similar to that of the fourth accuser, identified only as John Doe, who claims he and Clash met in Miami Beach in the mid-1990s, when the accuser was 16 and Clash was in his mid-30s.
The filing released by Doe's attorney claimed Clash invited him to New York, where Clash would be "a dad" to him and give him cash and a free place to stay. Doe alleges the two of them had sex multiple times.
At the time, Clash's attorney Michael Berger said in a statement, "The lawsuit is without merit and we will vigorously defend the case and Mr. Clash's reputation."
He has since been accused by a fifth person, »
