Sesame Street teased a January 13th appearance from Anderson .Paak with a new song called “H Is for Holiday” alongside Elmo and Cookie Monster.

Beef between Elmo and Rocco has gone viral this month, but an upcoming Sesame Street appearance from Anderson. Paak will bring holiday cheer. The Silk Sonic member becomes the newest artist to be featured on the long-running children’s series, joining Elmo (not Philly Elmo) and Cookie Monster for a song of “H Is for Holiday.” A teaser for the song was released today, but the Sesame Street episode will premiere on January 13th.

The vocalist gives a rundown on holidays where he’ll “be with friends and family” from Martin Luther King Jr. Day to Día de los Muertos. Anderson .Paak has plenty reason to celebrate in 2022, getting Oscar buzz for his track “Fire in the Sky” from 2021 Marvel film Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings. Silk Sonic is also up for Record of the Year and Best R&B Performance for “Leave the Door Open” at the 2022 Grammy Awards, which has been postponed.

Paak also plans to relaunch his annual .Paak House Charity Concert this year in his hometown of Oxnard, California. Formally held at MacArthur Park in L.A., the singer plans on bringing the concert to Oxnard College Park for safety concerns. While .Paak House was cancelled in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Paak recently spoke with People about resuming the music festival.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka challenges Zoe and Rocco to doubles game after meeting Elmo

]

The Sesame Street feud that’s captured all of our imaginations over the past week could finally be coming to an end.

How? Well, it could be settled with a game of tennis after Naomi Osaka offered to team up with Elmo to play Zoe and Rocco.

Japanese tennis star Osaka suggested playing against Zoe and Rocco after her appearance on the show.

But wait - what’s the deal with the Sesame Street spat?

Over the last few days, a long-running rivalry between iconic puppet Elmo and Zoe’s pet rock Rocco has taken over Twitter.

The row appears to have started in 2004 following a disagreement over who would get the last oatmeal raisin cookie. When Zoe said Elmo couldn’t have the treat because Rocco wanted it, Elmo launched into a tirade against the stone, and he’s shown contempt to Rocco ever since.

The feud went viral, prompting people to share their favourite Elmo moments from throughout the years.

Hilariously, Elmo released a statement on the feud and even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson waded in , threatening to visit Sesame Street “to kick a** and eat cookies”.

During her appearance on the show, Osaka taught the other characters about melanin and highlighted the importance of wearing sunscreen.

But could we see her return to Sesame Street for a tennis match? Twitter certainly hopes so:

We can’t wait to see where this feud takes us next.

The Internet’s Top Picks for Oscars Host

At last, the Oscars have decided to have a host this year after three years of being host-less. Many great entertainers like Billy Crystal and Bob Hope have stepped up to the plate as well as some seemingly random hosts like Paul Hogan and Donald Duck. In 2018, The Hollywood Reporter went into depth on what makes the perfect Oscars host: name recognition, funny, topical, politically savvy, young, and “satisfactory to a coalition of competing interests.” The internet took it upon itself to nominate hosts for the 94th Academy Awards but do they fit the bill on what makes the perfect Oscars host?

Some of the picks were obvious given their popularity. Elmo and Rocco are among the front runners, but can they put their differences aside for the gig? Both have name recognition and are topical; Elmo and Rocco clips are all over Twitter and TikTok. They’re young (Elmo is three and a half years old), and it’s almost impossible not to love him (unless maybe you’re Rocco). They’re also politically savvy as their home on Sesame Street began on PBS. Another Muppet favorite is none other than The Muppets Show host Kermit the Frog. He has plenty of experience hosting and knows how to deal with the stars. Kermie checks all of the boxes, but will Miss Piggy let him host solo? Maybe if the Academy will let her sing a musical number, she will give her blessing.

In non-Muppet-related pitches, Tom Holland put himself in the ring and has reportedly been contacted by the Academy to discuss the possibility. The internet yes-and-ed that suggestion and requested the trio of Spider-Men, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, to co-host alongside Holland. Continuing on in the Marvel universe, Willem Dafoe has been nominated to be promoted to “Willem Dahost,” as suggested by West Side Story’s Rachel Zegler. There’s no host like Eric André, so of course, his name has also been thrown into the ring, especially after the internet suggested he take over The Ellen Show during the height of her talk-show scandal. All of these options have great potential, but one of the main issues with hosting the Oscars is that it is a “thankless” gig. They could do the best possible job hosting and it still might not be enough for audiences.

All roads lead to a Muppet host. The Muppets, either Elmo and Rocco or Kermit, are unapologetically themselves and have the experience for the job. But will the Oscars be brave enough to commit to a night of pure insanity and magic?
