The U.S. prison system: Where 1 in 25 inmates is sexually assaulted, private corporations are brought in to cut food and medical costs to the bone, and one prison tried to disinfect a woman's C-section with table sugar. It's all good, though, because recidivism rates (and therefore, profits) are high.
Goofball with a golden voice Celine Dion (pictured above kissing an inanimate deer) probably doesn't believe that Miss Piggy is a real person, but she might! Dion is playing it extremely straight in the the press she's been doing for her cameo in Muppets Most Wanted. The pride and joy of Quebec said that her time on…

They came like a hallucination: two sock puppets babbling about pop and consumer cultures, sometimes ranting, other times singing songs of crafted nonsense like "Crescent Fresh," "Fake Blood" and "Rock and Roll Friends."
The Hollywood Reporter announced Tuesday that a Sesame Street movie is in the works, courtesy of 20th Century Fox.
Cleveland CBS affiliate WOIO's news cameras were shut out of the federal corruption trial of local county commissioner Jimmy Dimora. So they came up with a workaround: The Puppet"s Court. Each day, puppets—make that news-puppets—reenact the proceedings during the newscast, complete with a roving squirrel-reporter…
In 2008, Kanye West loved Comedy Central's Crank Yankers so much that it inspired him to film the pilot for a hip-hop puppet variety show called Alligator Boots, but the episode never made it to air. After watching this recently discovered behind-the-scenes footage—which includes Stormtrooper Kanye acting on his …
Turns out Lindsay Lohan shot not one but two commercials in her living room during house arrest. (Gotta pay those legal and therapy bills somehow.) This new one features an off-brand muppet making fun of LiLo's necklace-stealing ways.
Last night, the landscape of late night television was changed forever when Sid, a rabbit puppet voiced by Craig Ferguson, met Big T, a human puppet voiced by Trace Adkins, and sparks flew. Love knows no bounds!
Now here is something you don't see every day, giant drunk puppets stumbling through the streets of Ireland.
JibJab's become known for their funny/relevant "Year in Review" videos, so I'm pleased to announce that 2010's version—featuring puppets of President Obama and Vice President Biden singing a lamentation of the sh*tty year that was—doesn't disappoint. Watch inside.
The American Country Awards were on last night so that means Jeff Dunham got to showcase his vaguely racist ventriloquism. His first joke with his puppet, Bubba-J was "This is the best Soul Train Awards ever!" Ugh. Just, ugh.
Glenn Beck can always be counted on to take metaphors way too far. Today, in order to expose evil, liberal "puppet-master" George Soros, he puts on his own puppet show. Glenn Beck, the next great thespian of our times?
Ten years ago, science producers at BBC created a mini-series called Walking with Dinosaurs which was basically Jurassic Park minus the killings. After its success, they decided to turn it into a theatrical spectacular. It's coming to Madison Square Garden.
Today Joy had her "Month in Review" segment and channeled Ricky Gervais' animated show with a quick bit where all the hosts were puppets. As cute as they look, they sadly still talk and bicker the same as always.
This sad puppet version of John Cusack's Lloyd Dobler hits the streets of New York, boombox in hand, and blasts Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." Glad to know he never got over puppet Diane Court after all these years.
CBS promised a whole generation of theater nerds, internet dweebs, and pop culture dorks an "all dancing, all singing" episode of How I Met Your Mother. If you don't believe anybody got ripped off, this post will prove you wrong.
Some of us forgot Sarah Marshall (See what I did there?), but those that refused forgetfulness lauded over Jason Segel's Dracula's Lament. Much like a vampire, Segel's puppet driven rock opera lives beyond expectation on Craig Ferguson's 1000th episode.
It is en vogue to say that Craig Ferguson is the best late night host on TV right now. And for good reason. He uses a reptilian puppet to interview his guests.
Most of the cast of Avenue Q, spotted on West 43rd Street yesterday afternoon:
