Kelly Osbourne's cameo must be part of the extended cut, as I don't remember her being on ABC. A Quentin interview? The rest sound pretty cool, though. I'll get this at some point, if not when it comes out.

I don't know. My roommate will get it so I may watch hers and she can watch my season one of The Muppet Show that I'll be getting. I still haven't seen it.
I'm still not thrilled it stars Ashanti. I usually call her a Beyonce rip-off.

They are two completely different artists. Theire music sounds different, their voices are different, and they appeal to different markets.orestes. wrote:I don't know.

Muppet Wizard Of Oz
I'm sorry if this has been brought up before but I tried searching and didn't find much but about the DVD...
But is The Muppet Wizard Of Oz any good!? I missed it when it came on TV and I was wondering if it was worth picking up the DVD when it comes out!?
