Update

Grover back at work.

For those readers out there who saw our earlier piece several weeks back detailing the current whereabouts of childhood favorite Grover, this is an update that quite frankly left me feeling relieved about the wellbeing of our beloved Sesame Street friend, Grover. Tear.

It seems that fans of Sesame Street character Grover can rest assured that his VH1’s Where Are They Now story will end on an up note. With his matted blue fur coat and twinking eyes Grover, who reached popularity in the late seventies portraying such memorable characters as Super Grover and Cafe Waiter, has landed a lucrative endorsement deal with Earth’s Best a subsidiary of Colorado based natural food distributor The Hain Celestial Group. Grover and other Sesame Street characters will endorse various cereal and cracker products targeted at the toddler market. Our sources tell us that the photoshoot became a war of egos as Elmo’s alleged diva demands caused tension on the set. We’re told that Elmo’s insistence on appearing solo on the largest box in the product line, the Organic On the Go Os box, caused a clash of egos not seen since Vanity Fair’s Desperate Housewives cover shoot. Dare we say it? Yes, the faux fur was flying.

A pic from the shoot :

Elmo’s rumored list of dressing room demands:

7 Lavender and jasmine scented candles by Tocca with beaded crystal holders
23 100% cotton yellow T-shirts by C&C California with the capital letter “E” embroidered on the chest
4 Bottles of Crystal; chilled
1 case Hypnotic
Separate quarters for personal assistant and stylist
Private massage room with full time masseuse
11 pairs of True Religion Daisy Short Shorts
30 cases of Kabbalah drinking water
