On tonight's episode of "Warren The Ape," the show's star was completely outed by celebrity gossip queen Perez Hilton (apparently Warren had been in a gay porno years prior). The former Hollywood heavyweight thought he'd milk the controversy for as long as he could to stay in the media spotlight and decided to play the part of a homosexual puppet. 'Course, we all know that Warren's a greedy sex addict, so it was only a matter of time before he blew his cover.
Check out the bonus video below, where Warren leaks a rumor about his furry monster friend Elmo. Not sure what the little guy could've done, but it's never easy to watch a puppet snub one of his own.
Warren the Ape knows a lot about being a f***up, so recently he decided he wanted to make a difference by speaking to a group of at-risk kids. Except the students he ended up meeting were a bunch of straightlaced smarty-pants destined for a life led behind picket fences. Natch, our fuzzy friend felt it necessary to show them the rough streets (ya know, just in case they ever want to throw their own bright future out the window).
Below, check out bonus footage from tonight's episode, where the self-appointed chaperone explains why kidnapping these kids and taking them to crack dens and strip clubs was all done out of love.
Warren really shouldn't be let out of the house. On next week's episode, someone accidentally (well, we hope it wasn't intentional) books the inappropriate ape to speak to a sixth-grade class about street smarts and teenage pregnancy. In the sneak peek below, the sex-addicted puppet takes center stage, doling out life lessons in a very "Scared Straight"-ish manner (à la Prison Mike). Yes, life lessons from a guy that just got his friend thrown in jail. Check out the video and be thankful you weren't in class that day.
During the first few seconds of last week's "Warren The Ape," our fave gum-smacking puppet spilled his laundry list of hang-ups onto Dr. Drew. We were happy to learn that he's trying to clean up his act and take responsibility for his actions, but there's one addiction we never saw coming -- sex. (Puppet sex? Ick.)
Check out the exclusive video below, where Warren and his fellow addicts share their struggle to get clean. Warren seems embarrassed by his sexual compulsions, but at least he's willing to rub one out work it out.
Not all A-list puppets are soft-spoken Barney-like goofballs (see Hollywood heavyweight "Warren The Ape" in action)! And while it's always soothing to listen to a little Raffi or Kermit The Frog storytelling, it's also healthy to shake things with up with a wise-cracking, snarky puppet. Here, our five favorite furry friends of all time.
FRANKLIN
Show: "Arrested Development"
What Made Him Legendary: Gob often used his puppet-friend Roosevelt to insult his family members. The unstoppable duo loved performing their sorta-one-hit wonder "It Ain't Easy Being White," which pretty much offended everyone that heard it.
ALF
Show: "ALF"
What Made Him Legendary: This extraterrestrial ex-pat was filled with dry humor and loved pranking people almost as much as he enjoyed shoveling pies down his gullet. In one absurd episode, he became addicted to watching reruns of "Gilligan's Island," which is just totally awesome.
MISS PIGGY
Show: "The Muppets"
What Made Her Legendary: A striving star, her conceitedness and ultrafabulous hair-flipping technique made songs like "Never On Sunday" magical. Plus, watching her plant unwanted kisses on Kermit The Frog never got old!
TRIUMPH THE INSULT COMIC DOG
Show: "Late Night With Conan O'Brien"
What Made Him Legendary: When funnyman Conan first introduced this cigar-toting puppet, we fell in love with his punchy attitude and crude commentary. He made fun of celebrities (he was completely "keeding," of course) and had an almost-unidentifiable accent.
FOZZIE BEAR
Show: "The Muppets"
What Made Him Legendary: Who didn't die for a stand-up comedian that made you obsessed with saying "Wocka Wocka Wocka"? He wasn't quite as snarky as some other puppets on this list, but Foz loved pranking people (like Kermit), and for some reason he felt the need to hide his receding hairline.
+ Don't be embarrassed to admit who your favorite puppet is! Did we miss anyone? Let us know!
Warren's been doing some serious repenting lately, from re-shmoozing with A-listers he's wronged to asking Dr. Drew for help. (You have to admire a guy that's willing to do whatever it takes to clean up his act.) Now, the next thing he's gotta work on is his appearance -- if he wants to get back in the biz, that tangled ol' coat just won't cut it.
Check out the video below, where Warren hits up the puppet salon for fresh new fur and Velcro attachments. Even though he recently boasted that he could go head to head with Pauly D's blowout any day, our furry friend is ready for a serious revamp. Can't wait to see what style he opts for (maybe a Justin Bieber 'do?)!
Don't you hate when you get tagged in those Facebook friend graphs, and out of all the complimentary "types" available -- "Someone who changed your life" or "Someone who can talk their way out of a speeding ticket" -- you get associated with something awful, like "Someone who you saw wake up with vomit stuck to their cheek"?
Nobody is perfect, and no one knows that better than "Warren The Ape," a complex character filled with all sorts of bad traits (like an affinity for cursing and feeling up celebrities).
As you know, Warren is trying to rid himself of his bad habits, and since we're all guilty of committing embarrassing acts, it's only fair that you tag yourself (and your friends) with some of the options above.
+ Take a look at the photo above and decide which Warren you identify with, then upload it to Facebook and make matches for your friends! Plus, don't forget to tune in June 14 at 10:30/9:30c to find out more about our favorite gang-affiliated, drug-addicted Peeping Tom!
When it comes to "Jersey Shore" audition tapes, it's hard to find a more impressive contestant than Vaseline-sporting Bobby Bottleservice (or, as Pauly D renamed him, Bobby Bag-A-Doughnuts). But we recently discovered a video that funnyman "Warren The Ape" made. We wouldn't have pegged him for a Seaside Heights hopeful -- he was, after all, a Hollywood heavyweight much more suited for a stint on "Celebrity Rehab." Nonetheless, the former puppet star is eager to get his life back on track and apparently thinks beating the beats with Ronnie is the way to redemption. (We suspect he just really wants another lip-lock with Snooki.)
Check out the video below, where DJ Warren Ape demonstrates his own flair for fist-pumping. We gotta say, his blowout is almost as awesome as Pauly D's signature 'do!
The furry star of "Warren The Ape" has some serious issues with narcotics (and living the fast life in general), but he's doing his best to turn his life around. And with the help of celebrity friends, he just might be successful!
Check out the videos below, where Warren is grilled by addiction specialist Dr. Drew, plus watch him accidentally paw Scarlett Johansson (looks like Sandra Bullock wasn't the only one to get some from ScarJo -- zing!). With pals like these, Warren could have the support group he needs to get clean and back on track. Well, if that's what he really wants.
