MUPPET HELD IN CONNECTION TO SIBLINGS DISAPEARANCE
-Hollywood, CA
What ever happened to SKEETER? Thats the question authorities are still asking after years of speculation over the Muppets disappearance. While Skeeter was featured prominently on the MUPPET BABIES cartoon program, she was nowhere to be found on the MUPPET SHOW.
Skeeter, the sister of Muppet gopher SCOOTER, went missing shortly after the Muppet Babies went off the air in 1991. While Scooter maintains that his twin sister never enjoyed show business and retired to a quiet life, private detective NORMAN BIGGLES believes he has uncovered evidence suggesting foul play. Its pretty clear when you watch Muppet Babies that Skeeter was the more talented of the two; a better singer, a better dancer. She had the world on a platter. Yer tellin me that she just walked away from a career that would have made her millions? I dont think so.
Indeed, many Hollywood critics regarded Skeeter as an ingnue who would someday take her place as one of the great female performers of our time. She was one of those unique talents, said her former drama coach, SANDUVAL. When she took to the stage, you were captivated granted, it was mostly because you were trying figure out just what she was, but is that not a charm in and of itself? Thats a rhetorical question, you know.
But many say there was a dark side to Skeeters light. MAXINE GRETOUSKY, who portrayed Nanny on Muppet Babies, remembers a troubled youth. She had one of those stage door moms, ya know? Always pushin the kid to be a star. Skeeter was burnin out, if ya ask me. But Gretousky also recalls an on-set rivalry between Skeeter and Scooter. Scooter he was a good kid, but not much of an actor. He only got the job because the producers wanted a set of twins. I dunno, probably tryin to cash in on some of that Olson money. But Scooter wasnt anything without Skeeter. Look at the Muppet Show: he wasnt even a featured performer. He was just a backstage regular. And it took Kermit threatening to walk off the set to get him that gig.
Indeed, renowned entertainer KERMIT T. FROG has been an outspoken defender of Scooter from the beginning. Oh, good grief. Everyone is still comparing Scooter to Skeeter, even after all these years, which I think is unfair. Theyre two people er, gophers, anyway. Sheesh But Gretousky counters, well, Kermit may be a little biased. I mean, and you didnt hear this from me, but, well Theres a reason he and that pig never tied the knot. Ya know what I mean?
Allegations of backstage interspecies homosexual trysts aside, Biggles believes that Scooter murdered his sibling in a fit of rage, desperate to garner the attention that came so easily to Skeeter. He had motive and he had opportunity. Add on to that a mother desperate to keep those fat Hollywood paychecks comin, and youve got a willing accomplice. Biggles also notes Scooters increasingly erratic behavior. He was never the same after Skeeter went missing. A lot of people in this town chalked it up to Hollywood antics; ya know, the coke and the hookers. They figure he was just goin the way of the Coreys. But after that brawl at Skybar, he slipped up Big time. Indeed, Biggles has produced an eyewitness, one CLARENCE BIG WHOOP FINDERMAN of Inglewood, California, who claims that a drug-addled Scooter confessed to killing his sister while the two shared a cell in L.A. County Jail. He was all cracked-out, ya know? We was gettin a big laugh outta the little orange dude. He was all cryin and askin for his lawyer. But then he got this like, real nasty look in his eye. He starts yellin at us, sayin he aint fraid of us, cause he chopped his sister's head off and 'tinkled' down her throat I been in San Quentin, but that was some creepy-ass shit, man.
Even as Scooter waits his preliminary hearing, Gretousky laments the sad state of child actors in Hollywood. They chew you up and spit you out. Producers, I mean. Ya think I landed Muppet Babies with my great talent. *EXPLETIVE DELETED* I was just a nice pair of gams in striped sox to those *EXPLETIVE DELETED*.
