What Celebrities Would You Cast in a Muppet Lookalike Movie?

I got such a kick the other day out of recasting the major superhero movies with vintage Hollywood stars that I thought we’d take another spin at dreamcasting. Today’s target: The Muppets. God forbid anyone ever attempt to adapt the Muppets for celebrities, but in the event they do (and you can never rule out anything in Hollywood), how would we cast the Muppets?

Some of these choices are obvious (Bunsen Honeydew), some I thought were inspired (Beaker!), and some are stretches (The Swedish Chef) to say the least. How would you cast them?
