The new Muppets flick continues to accrue a load of pop cameos. Dave Grohl is confirmed for a small part, joining Alan Arkin, Ricky Gervais, Billy Crystal, Zach Galifianakis, Jack Black and Jean-Claude Van Damme. The Foo Fighter will be covering for Animal -- the crazed iconic drummer from the Muppet's house band, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem -- while he goes to anger management treatment.
"Freaks and Geeks" star Jason Segel is writing and staring in "The Muppets" with director James Bobin ("Flight of the Conchords") at the helm. When asked about a cameo for Lady Gaga, Segal was unsure. "We're trying. I haven't heard if anything happened yet. This is breaking news!" he told MTV. "I'm being totally serious. We are hoping to get Lady Gaga, yeah, but we haven't heard anything yet."

The new Muppets movie/reboot being masterminded by "Freaks and Geeks" star Jason Segel and "The Flight of the Conchords" director James Bobin is in production. It's called "The Muppets" (amazingly the title was not previously taken) and is scheduled for release Christmas, 2011. Along with Segal, who stars, Cinematical reports that "Glee's" Jane Lynch and Danny "Machete" Trejo have joined the lovable cast as a prison guard and prisoner, respectively.
Sounds wild, but that's nothing compared to the rumor that the Fame Monster, Lady Gaga is "eyeing the project," as they say. Strictly rumor that she will be officially involved, but what a perfect one -- she even looks like a Muppet!
I'm not one to pull for Lady Gaga, but her ridiculous pageantry is probably perfect for a Muppet movie, and it might keep her from churning out exasperating club music. How many Muppet Gaga's can you find?...
