Cuba and Maria Bask in the Company of Plushies
Friday October 13, 2006


Maria Menounos interviews Big Bird on the roof deck of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. Cuba Gooding Jr. joins Elmo on the set of Sesame Street to shoot segments for an upcoming PBS special. (splashnews.com (2))

We confronted the indelible image of John Mayer in a bear suit earlier this week.
 
Now Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Maria Menounos reveal themselves as possible members of the plushie subculture that enjoys stuffed animals in a way they should never be enjoyed, particularly on Sesame Street.
 
Cuba goes so far as to gently cup Elmo’s furry undercarriage, while the Access Hollywood reporter and famed avian chastely pose in the three-quarter hug of high school prom photos the world over (what – no gazebo?).
 
Check out Defamer's hilarious deconstruction of the underlying sexual tension between Menounos and Big Bird.
 
And while we’re here, are we the only ones who never noticed that Bird’s wings have hands?
 
Talk to Us: Who's the cuter couple -- Cuba and Elmo or Big Bird and Maria? (yes, it's really come to this)

First off, Big Bird is a male, and he's 6-years old. Secondly, what is this upcoming PBS special that they are involved in? It's nice that you brought us the news of celebs interacting with Muppets, but couldn't you have given some more details as why they were interacting? Is this a Sesame Street special or a PBS special that Sesame is a part of? When will it air? What's the deal? You got some great photos but there's no story or information past them. Obviously someone was on the set to take the photos, so why not a little bit of actual news and information rather than just lame celeb/Muppet jokes.

I guess we should be happy that hohan isn't broadcasting her vajayjay for the second time this week, or that parasite isn't out with her little menagerie, so I'm gonna vote for Cuba and Elmo as the cuter coupling here...

I must say, I am really sad to see Cuba this way. I mean, it is cool that he wants to help kids and all of that, but he is such a brilliant actor that it is hard for me to handle a pic like this!
