This may take Count von Count a while, but it's A-OK—Sesame Street marks its 40th anniversary today.

The PBS stalwart debuted on Nov. 10, 1969, and, after more than 21 million minutes aired, 122 Emmys and a Lifetime Achievement award, has managed to stay relevant—and sometimes controversial (remember that Bert-Bin Laden hookup?).

Cookie Monster, Elmo, Oscar the Grouch and friends will be celebrating in style with Michelle Obama and the letter H.

The first lady's appearance presumably won't be ticking off right-wingers—unless they're offended by vegetable gardens and Big Bird's measuring stick.

"Are you part bird?" the fine-feathered one asks her. "You and I are both really tall."

Cameron Diaz also stops by to help Grover explain the importance of trees.

Holiday movie season and high Oscar season have kicked off. But only one is kicking mistletoe.

While Jim Carrey's A Christmas Carol led a bah-humbug weekend with an underwhelming $31 million, per estimates, the Oprah Winfrey- and Tyler Perry-backed award-show contender Precious grossed a stunning $1.8 million at only 18 theaters.

Elsewhere, Michael Jackson's This Is It did its thing (solid $14 million here, bigger $29 million overseas), George Clooney's The Men Who Stare at Goats ($13.3 million) did better than expected for a movie with goats and George Clooney in it, and Cameron Diaz's The Box ($7.9 million) just didn't really open. 

A look inside the numbers:

Let's hope Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz's onscreen action is better than the offscreen version.

The stars watched a stunt go awry this weekend during shooting of their upcoming crimefighter caper The Green Hornet, as a driver lost control of his car during a chase scene and crashed into the front of the headquarters of the Creative Artists Agency, and only E! News was there.

Rogen, Diaz and costar Edward James Olmos were filming a shootout with an incoming SWAT team in front of the offices of one of Hollywood's premiere talent agencies when the accident occurred.

None of the stars was involved in the scene. The stuntmen who were behind the wheel of the two vehicles walked away unscathed.

The same couldn't be said for the building. A portion of the driveway wall suffered moderate damage, prompting the film crew's construction department to work all day making repairs. A Sony Pictures rep described the incident as "a minor, noninjury accident" and said production was not delayed.

Barring further calamities, the Michel Gondry-directed flick should hit theaters Dec. 17, 2010.

While Green Hornet works to build buzz, take a gander at some of the other would-be blockbusters coming down the pike.

Call her No. 2,386.

That's the number of Cameron Diaz's star on Hollywood's vaunted Walk of Fame, and the Shrek star and her celeb pals were on hand Monday to mark her sidewalk immortality.

Vanilla Sky leading man Tom Cruise (accompanied by Katie Holmes), Charlie's Angels cohort Lucy Liu and directors Curtis Hanson and Nick Cassavetes joined the festivities, capped by Diaz's emotional tribute to her parents:

"It was what has given me the strength and courage to live this extraordinary life and it is what powers the light that burns inside of me, bright enough for me to be honored today with this star on the Walk of Fame."

Cameron Diaz is all about change, Obama-style, in her July Marie Claire profile, which mainly focuses on the environment. But we’re not good people, so gossipy stuff first, like plastic surgery!

The actress recently had her nose fixed after breaking it for the fourth time. "S--t just finds my face—it’s crazy," she explains.

As for more plastic surgery? Cam's not that into it even though there are features of her body she doesn't like.

"I'd love a bigger butt, more meat on my bones," she says. "I'd love to be more voluptuous. It's just not my body type."

She also discusses the wild-girl types that dominated our lives pre-Robert Pattinson. Turns out she kinda digs them: "I like sexy girls; I like slutty girls. But sometimes I go"—she mimes a yawn—"if that's all there is."

But really, this isn't what her profile is about. Cameron is on a mission to bring attention to the environment.

Whether or not Cameron Diaz will ever be showing those Shrek movies to her own kids someday remains to be seen.

"I'm not somebody who is going to declare either way if I'm absolutely going to or I'm absolutely not going to have children," the 36-year-old actress tells Parade.

"I have no idea. I'm still young," she adds. Not to mention busy flaunting her flat abs in that teeny green bikini. "I have an unbelievable life. In some ways, I have the life that I have because I don't have children."

What's more, Cam, who plays the mother of a child battling cancer in her upcoming film My Sister's Keeper, insists she isn't simply making excuses.
