It is a nice little article on Ashanti, not too much on the Muppet overall, and they do have one fact wrong - the "Muppets' Wizard of Oz" is in two months (May), not "next month" as they said.

Only a little bit talks about the Muppets. If you don't want to read the whole thing, here is just the Muppet-related part.

Ashanti will be seen again next month as Dorothy in the TV movie The Muppets' Wizard Of Oz.

"Playing Dorothy was a pretty extreme difference. I was always a fan of The Muppets and I was impressed how they all had different personalities. Sometimes you forget you're talking to someone's hand. Like, I'm having a conversation with Kermit and I'm, like, 'Man, this is somebody's hand I'm talking to!'

"But what gave me the edge to do this movie was my past dealing with kids. I used to work at a daycare centre," the Long Island-born Ashanti says, "so it was easy for me to let my imagination take over and make a transition to talking to puppets."
