Mississippi Muppets

Spotted: KTF answering interview questions in an elevator. One of our spies *ahem* reporters overheard him chatting busily on the phone to Clarion Ledger (a Mississippi based website) about his home-swamp, being green, current projects, Muppets Gone Wild, Pitchers, Pitches and Love.

About his relationship status, he was heard stating this: "I have not moved on. Well, actually, I have, but Miss Piggy has followed. So yes. We're still together. But, as I've said before, we have a professional relationship. I think that we're professionals, and she thinks we have a relationship. It's not dysfunctional, it's my life."

Gophers, Tigers and Pigs

This week has been filled with scandal related to Gophers and Tigers. It really is a jungle out there and...Oh! Wait...Sorry, my editor is just informing me it's scandal related to a Golfer named Tiger...So...That's far less jungle...far more walk in the park...

Anyway, Miss Piggy weighed in with her opinion of the matter here. (WEIGHED!????)

Flyeater on Popeater

Who knew that a conference call, when released online, would hit ten-million practically overnight and stay in the top 30 of the charts for any number of days? (And, no, we are not talking about the Watergate Nixon calls...which I'm sure, if released on iTunes, would do the same) We are talking, naturalle', about the Muppets Bohemian Rhapsody.

And so is Kermit...Here.

Highlights of this cute, funny interview, include the questions: What are you getting Miss Piggy for Christmas? and How are things between you and Miss Piggy?

And answers involving relationships that seem to change day to day, mistletoe and breakfast....yeah, at Tiffanys (not necessary in that order).

Release me!

Press Release: Subsequent to the *ahem* unfortunate release of a recent conference call between the frog and colleges, it has come to our attention that this...Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody is ravishing the web with its wonder. Hencewith, we are now urging all who wish (upon a Christmas star) to see this officially released as a single for Christmas to join with us in ensuring that Miss Piggy, Kermit and the Muppets reign in the charts for Christmas (preferably overtaking that young upstart Joseph whose tipped to win the Factor of X...) Join the group! Buy the single! Sing-le along!

Bo-ham-ian Rhapsody

When Kermie got the Muppets together for a conference call recently, someone obviously recorded it because a few days later this footage came online...It includes a final moment from Miss Piggy, looking fantasticly draped across a piano...Something tells me it's not the first call from Kermit to Piggy that ended that way...

Today IS the day!

Today (Actually, yesterday) the dynamic duo made a fan-wonderful appearance on the Today show. Miss Piggy looked wonderful in her black and white puffed sleeved coat, now decorat'ed with a little Christmassy broach in red. Miss Piggy's hair was styled in curls, and she looks well indeed despite having picked up a teensy-little swamp cold. Kermit seemed chirpy, perched on the back of the sofa and even planted a little little kiss from la-female host while Piggy's back was turned...but the jokes on her, that's how Piggy caught her cold! (Plus, as Kermit released an official statement, "I strive to be a better amphibian," Piggy seemed to forgive him quickly, and began cooing over a baby crying in the audience...)

"It's not ours!" Kermit insisted.

"But it could be..." Piggy replied.

Can I mention, her eyes, her face expressions, and her entire manner was utterly wonderful in this appearance. They seem so comfortable together, and the chemistry is electric.

Check it out here and here!

Hi ho! and Kissy Kissy. -SH

Kermit and Miss Piggy seemed at ease appearing together on the Today Show.

The host got lucky with a little smoochie from Kermie.

Poor Piggy seemed to be suffering from a cold!

But that didn't stop her from talking about the possibilities of having babies!

Aww...

The Most Muppety Time of the Year

Ah-heh! We stumbled across this footage (Thanks TP) of our favourite Pig and Frog rehearsing at the Rockefeller Centre before their gig later tonight...Seems that they have their body-guards close on 'hand' in the video, but ignore those bearded-weirdoes and watch our beloved weirdoes instead! Gonzo and Rizzo have wonderful voices for the song, but it becomes a perfect moment when all the others join them. I mean just LOOK at that hat! Those gloves! That coat! Those cuffs! (For anyone interested...an imitation of this coat is already on sale here...Get ahead of the trend, young fashionettas.)

P.S. The frog looks VERY snuggleable in that winter coat with the orange hood...

Something about a face and a book?

Scooter! Have you been uploading private holiday snaps of Pig and Frog huggies onto Facebook again!?

Actually, no, honestly, Boss, it wasn't him...It was, in fact, the official Mupepts Studio facebook page which has been steadily uploading a bundle of cute, Christmasy Kermit (Kristmassy Cermit?) pictures onto their page.

Strictly Kerm Dancing

Ooh, and seems that last weekend the simply lovely Laila Rouass (there are a LOT of vowels in that name, by the way...would someone please pass over the Scrabble board) *ahem*...that the lovely Laila claimed Miss Piggy was her inspiration, her muse, her hero, her idol, that she worships the very ground she walks on that--...Okay, so, she basically said that Miss Piggy was her inspiration for some sort of tango, but that's practically the same thing.

Laila, of Footballers' Wives fame (that's Soccer-Players' Girlfriends, to Americans), said: "My inspiration is coming from Miss Piggy, actually, that's who my character is." She later said, "You've got to project and really overdo it." Which I suppose means...she likes to *ahem* ham it up?

Still, it was cute for Piggy to be remembered as the fierce, over-the-top, tangoing diva of her day. Plus, it takes two to tango...so Kermit, watch out.

I Believe in Romance

Today saw the première of Kermit and sweet Tiffany Thornton's music video, I Believe, and far from the typical Muppet fare of guest-star meets Kermit, falls in love, and they sing about tadpoles and fish together (*cough* Julie Andrews, you know who you are. *cough*) Within this beautiful little Christmas song, Kermit remains devoted to his sweetheart...carefully writing a name tag addressed to his dearest.
