LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Playing fast and loose with the definition of "reality," The Muppets are jumping on the reality TV bandwagon to find a new star.
"America's Next Muppet" is in the works for ABC, which will be a reality show parody modeled after "American Idol" and "America's Next Top Model," Daily Variety reports.
Although neither ABC or Disney would comment on the project, news of it has leaked on several Muppets fan Web sites, Variety said.
You can never replace Fozzie Bear.
