Monty Python Eye ‘South Park’ Collaboration

The Monty Python gang want to work with South Park.

Terry Jones is reuniting with his old comedy collaborators John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Eric Idle for the Monty Python Live (Mostly) show, and he claims the controversial American animation is the modern-day equivalent of their iconic British sketch show, Monty Python's Flying Circus.

"It's so successful and brilliant. It makes me laugh. We'd like to do something with them but I don't know yet because it's early days for the Python reunion. Besides, I'm just getting used to being in my 70s," the 71-year-old star told The Sun newspaper.

Terry credits South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker - who have admitted the show's style of animation is inspired by the paper cut-out cartoons made by Terry Gilliam for Monty Python's Flying Circus and have cited the group's work as a major inspiration - for making the Pythons' reunion happen in the first place: "They sparked it off when they said they'd like to do a show with us - they were big followers of Monty Python. That sowed the seed of the Python reunion," he explained.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Cee Lo Green to Do SNL, Duet Inevitable

UPDATE: Cee Lo has confirmed that he has recorded a new version of "F**k You" with Paltrow.

Late last month, singer Cee Lo Green teased that he and Gwyneth Paltrow -- who covered his song "Forget You" on an episode of Glee -- would collaborate on something "extra cool" in the future. Now, we have a better idea what that "surprise" is.

One day after (sorta) confirming a duet to Good Morning America's Robin Roberts (see the video above), it was officially announced that Gwyneth and Cee Lo would both be appearing on the January 15 broadcast of Saturday Night Live. (Their visits will come one week after Jim Carrey and The Black Keys share that NBC stage.)

Is it safe to say a joint musical number between Paltrow and Green is a foregone conclusion?

BTW -- if you want a preview of what Gwyneth's singing could look like that night, check out her musical performance on yesterday's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
