Lady Gaga, Katy Perry Muppets' Cameos: Why They Were Cut From the Film

Lady Gaga was poised to make her big-screen debut in 'The Muppets' movie, which opened to $42 million in box office earnings since it's Wednesday (Nov. 23) debut. But Mother Monster's Muppet scene was cut from the fuzzy film, as was that of fellow pop queen Katy Perry.

In Gaga's cutting room floor cameo, LG and her all-star entourage reportedly squared off against Miss Piggy. But sadly for the self-proclaimed Muppet fan, her small role was edited out when director James Bobin was forced to drop a number of scenes in order to bring the three-hour movie down to 98 minutes.

The movie's writer and producer Clint Morris wrote on his website MovieHole.net, "Stefani Germanotta's [aka Lady Gaga] big moment from the film was cut. With her entourage, including Ed Helms, Eric Stonestreet ... and John Krasinski, Gaga would have gone head-to-head with Miss Piggy in a sequence. Rumor has it Madonna's 'Vogue' was somehow involved (which makes sense considering Piggy is the editor of Paris Vogue magazine in the film)."

And Gaga wasn't the only pop star to miss out on a Muppets movie cameo. Katy Perry's big musical sequence, in which she spoofs her hit song 'I Kissed A Girl,' also failed to make the final cut. Screenwriter Nick Stoller told MTV.com, "At one point we had squirrels singing, 'I Kissed a Squirrel,' or it was Miss Piggy singing 'I Kissed a Squirrel and I Liked It.' More and more squirrels are lining up to kiss her, and she's getting weirded out." Well, that sounds like it would have been hilarious! Hopefully it will make the DVD extras!

This will just generate more interest in the DVD when it comes out( you know, "deleted scenes" ?).

Those of you who object should be thankful, as I am, that at least they didn't cast any of the cast of
"Jersey Shore" on the movie.

OR any rappers, like Jay-Z , Kanye, and Lil' Wayne.

The producers DID have more taste than THAT, thank God..

good, besides the mothers that have completely and totally failed their daughters, the little girls of today have NOTHING but freaking $lut$ and ho's to pattern their lives after. Right now, I'm sitting here freaking fighting off one after the other of your damn daughters begging me to come and watch them perform, spread their legs, and masturbate. I need this music program "Bearshare", it's necessary to get music for my work and inter net station but I cannot sit here for more than 30 seconds that I don't get the message, "I'm naked, come on in and watch me", blah blah blah. ONE AT A GD TIME I block those but have yet to find the main area where I stop this crap. As I'm typing in a song title and one of these little Ho's pops up, it screws my search up and I have to start again. Dammit moms, but your worthless asses off the sofa, stop watching $lut$ in the city and do something with the daughters you failed to instill any morals, any character, any integrity, or any smart into.

Doesn't matter..our children have been so desensitized over the last ten years that there is no going back.
All I can say is Pray for the children and much shame to the adults of this country for letting this happen.
Having LG and Perry on the Muppet show???

Eh.. she's ok, her image really doesn't match her poppy musical demeanor, the song above is more country, which isn't bad but the image missmatches it. Let me know when she does a goth/industrial album, then at least it would fit..
In the meantime I'll listen to Zola Jesus....

Good they should be cut, they shouldn't even be allowed on tv, they are both hideous scumbags with no talent.
