Sesame Street | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

A live-action adaptation of the beloved television show Sesame Street is heading to the big screen and Anne Hathaway is in early talks to star in the film!

The Oscar-winning actress is in talks to play Sally, according to Collider.

Sally is the same name as the girl who appeared on the first episode of Sesame Street. She received a tour of the street and was introduced to characters like Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. It sounds like Anne could be playing an adult version of the character!

Warner Bros. and MGM are co-financing the movie, which is expected to be a musical. Portlandia co-creator Jonathan Krisel will direct the film.

If you watched the new Sesame Street special that just aired on HBO, you saw some familiar faces guest starring on the episode!

Blake Lively and Amanda Seyfried both appeared in “When You Wish Upon a Pickle,” which marked the launch of Sesame Street on the premium cable channel.

In the special, a mysterious wish machine appears on Sesame Street and the magical pickle inside starts granting wishes. Before long, the gang learns they need to be careful what they wish for – especially when they find out he’ll only grant one wish per customer!

Blake played a delivery person while Amanda appeared as Natalie Neptune.

Sesame Workshop, the parent company of the beloved children’s show Sesame Street, is suing STX Productions over its new Melissa McCarthy movie The Happytime Murders.

The upcoming movie is “a filthy comedy set in the underbelly of Los Angeles where puppets and humans coexist. Two clashing detectives with a shared secret, one human (McCarthy) and one puppet, are forced to work together again to solve the brutal murders of the former cast of a beloved classic puppet television show.” (Watch the trailer now!)

The workshop is asking that the studio “simply drop the references to Sesame Street from The Happytime Murders marketing materials – a relatively small burden compared to the devastating and irreparable injury Defendants are causing.”

The poster for the movie has the tagline “No Sesame. All Street.”

The plaintiffs say that the “Defendants have refused, and the confusion and tarnishment are building, as evidenced in numerous social media postings.”

The Happytime Murders is directed by Brian Henson, the son of the late Jim Henson, who rose to fame developing characters for Sesame Street and later creating The Muppets.

If you haven’t seen Sesame Street‘s “Despacito” parody video, “El Patito,” you’re missing out.

Ernie, Bert (“Oh no, not this song again”), and Rosita tackled Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee‘s hit track in a video released on Monday (August 21).

In the clip, Ernie sings about his rubber duckie with lines like, “Rubber Duckie, it is a connection/ It doesn’t have to be a tubby session, ya/ Take my day from zero to 11, ya.”

The Spanish-language chorus then follows: “Oh, el patito, es mi favorito/ Donde quiera que vaya hace su sonido/ El patito es tu buen amigo/ El patito.”

Watch the real song of the summer below!

Sia is helping teach kids about the letter “S” during an appearance on Sesame Street and she even showed off her face during the video!

The 41-year-old entertainer wore her signature wig and giant bow on top of her head, but she also showed off her face while wearing a red ball on her nose.

“S is for Song! Sia joins some of your furry friends from Sesame Street to sing about how much they love songs! Songs can make you feel so good you just want to sing it out loud!” the caption for the video reads.

Make sure to see lots of photos of Sia showing her face in public over the years.

Sesame Street is introducing a character named Julia, who has autism.

Jeanette Betancourt, Sesame Workshop’s senior vice president of U.S. Social Impact, spoke about the addition to the popular children’s show.

“In the U.S., one in 68 children is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder,” Jeanette said (via the Chicago Tribune). “We wanted to promote a better understanding and reduce the stigma often found around these children. We’re modeling the way both children and adults can look at autism from a strength-based perspective: finding things that all children share….Just as we look at all children as being unique, we should do the same thing when we’re looking at children with autism.”

The first episode to introduce Julie – titled “Meet Julia,” airs Monday, April 10 on HBO.
