Celebrities Muppet Look Alikes! *Updated with new comparison to Animal*

Clicky!

Ok, above is the link to the article, but i've decided to post it up here also so it can live in on RYL immortality :)

Watching TV classic The Muppets, do you ever think the furry puppets remind you of someone?
While most of Jim Henson's creations are based on creatures from the animal kingdom, their strikingly human characteristics and quirky personalities are remarkably similar to many of our favourite celebrities.
The most obvious likeness was between Big Brother 3 contestant Jade Goody and feisty Miss Piggy.
The former dental nurse was likened to Kermit's love interest by the press during her time on the reality show in 2002.

Feisty females: Reality star Jade Goody is just as feisty at Miss Piggy

Troubled rocker Pete Doherty is the spitting image of Muppets character Crazy Harry.
The Babyshambles frontman appears to share personality traits with the pyrotechnics expert, who famously blew things up at the climax of a Muppets episode - he's known for his wild, unpredictable behaviour.
Down to his unkempt, scraggy hair, indie-style wardrobe, heavy bags under his eyes and a pale demeanour, Pete is a dead ringer for Crazy Harry.

Attention-seeking: Pete Doherty and Crazy Harry


Meanwhile, Chancellor Alistair Darling shares a remarkable amount of personality traits with Sam The Eagle, despite the obvious similarity of their heavy-set, black eyebrows - or a mono brow in Sam's case.
As the national symbol of the United States, Sam the Eagle feels a great deal of responsibility for his country and tries to keep order amongst his unruly Muppets - just as Alistair would do in his position of Chancellor.


Weight on their shoulders: Alistair Darling and Sam The Eagle

With his cuddly appearance and friendly demeanour, Gavin & Stacey star James Cordon can be likened to one of the most popular Muppets Fozzie Bear. Just like James, Fozzie is a comedian. But while James has fans in hysterics in the BBC comedy, Fozzie is subjected to heckling by disgrunted audiences listening to his terrible jokes.


Lovable lads: James Corden and Fozzie Bear

Benidorm star and comedian Johnny Vegas reminds some of Junior Gorg - the youngest of the Gorg family from Muppets spin-off Fraggle Rock.Both Johnny and Junior share a wide girth and a prominent chin and a scraggy hairstyle.As prince of the universe, dim-witted Junior Gorg spends his days doing chores for his parents and planting radishes - a distant lifestyle from beer-swilling Johnny.


Larger than life: Johnny Vegas and Junior Gorg


Troubled FAA Kimbalumb Frothybum shares a few characteristics with The Electric Mayhem drummer Animal.
Both have no musical talent, have a distinctive style and are known be quite vocal about their feelings.
While Kimbalumb's behaviour has been erratic over the last few months, the FAA would stop short of eating her drums, as Animal is often predisposed to munch on his instruments.


Mayhem: Kimbalumb Frothybum and Animal

Friday Night Project host Alan Carr shares a few physical attributes with Rizzo The Rat.
While Rizzo's eyesight appears to be just fine, the pair are noted for their prominent front teeth

Scene stealer: Comedian Alan Carr and Rizzo The Rat

Other Muppets who share facial features with celebrities include Kermit The Frog and Coronation Street actress Helen Worth; Scooter and Chris Evans, Dr Bunsen Honeydrew and U.S. actor Willie Garson; daredevil Gonzo and Adrien Brody and The Electric Mayhem guitarist Janice and fashion designer Donatella Versace.



TV stalwarts: Coronation Street actress Helen Worth (Gail Platt) and Kermit The Frog



Ginger and proud: Bespectacled radio host Chris Evans and backstage gofer Scooter


Sex And The City star Willie Garson and resident Muppets scientist Dr Bunsen Honeydew








Blonde-haired and luscious lipped: Hippy guitarist Janice has the same make-up style and hair at Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.

Animal does NOT look like Amy Winehouse, what an insult for a talented drummer like him.

The rest are scarily accurate

I think Amy is an amazing talent and i feel extremely sorry for her.

I saw her live before she was famous and she was so shy and timid on stage. She is one of the best singers ive ever heard live.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Animal is the second best muppet of all time. IMO no muppet can surpass the sheer genius that is Beaker!!!

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTC2Ihnsrf0"]YouTube - Beaker has coffee.[/ame]

Gather experience. . . Look at what you should not look at. A feeling of anxiety is the sure and certain evidence that you should do this -Clive Barker

I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own- Margeret Atwood

Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.

There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.

God damn it. Aidey asked me if she should do this and I told her I wouldn't say yes or no because I knew she was just trying to share the blame.
