Muppet Junkies

It has been confirmed by our investigative sources here at ‘Tofu Plankton Meatloaf’ that Sgt. Floyd Pepper & Janice, ex-band members of 'Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem', can now be added to the long list of troubled troubadours such as David Crosby, John Phillip, Iggy Pop, and most recently Billy Joel, to have checked themselves into an exclusive Hollywood Rehab clinic for treatment for substance abuse. It has been discovered that both Floyd and his longtime common-law girlfriend, Janice, have been spiraling downward with their addictions since the cancellation of the popular and successful 'Muppet Show'.

The final decision was made after both were turned down for roles in the highly anticipated upcoming Muppet Movie blockbuster "The Muppets Take Baghdad", planned for release this summer, because of the reported “extreme difficultly” of working with the famous junkie couple.

It has been speculated that both Floyd & Janice were often found between takes on the set of the ‘Muppet Show’ locked in their dressing room, sometimes for hours, or not even showing up at all; sometimes holding up production for days at a time.

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY PUPPET DIAMONDS!!

Long time friend and fellow band mate, Zoot, stated for reporters:

"Yeah,man! It's bout fucking time! Dey 've been in a 'aze since we broke up the band, dig? I knew dey wasn’t cool when they sold Animals drum kit for smack. When Floyd started tricking out Janice to Rolf the Dog, I knew dey was in real trouble. Dey needs 'elp, man. Serious help, dig? Know what I mean, Daddy-o?"
