Miss Piggy To Host Red Carpet Show

(NewsCore) - Miss Piggy will host a red carpet show in advance of the British Academy Film Awards, event organizers announced Monday.

The diva will grill celebs as they arrive at the Feb. 12 ceremony in London, as part of the "Orange BAFTA Red Carpet Show With Miss Piggy."

"Imagine the likes of Clooney, Dujardin, Fassbender, Oldman and Pitt achieving the very pinnacle of their careers by getting a chance to speak with the one and only moi -- Miss Piggy!" the glamorous puppet said in a statement.

"Naturally, I will be asking questions that only moi would dare to ask," she added.

The star of "The Muppet Show," who is portrayed by puppeteer Eric Jacobson, recently hit the big screen as part of "The Muppets" movie, starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams.

The film was released in the US last November -- grossing $122.5 million so far -- and will be released in the UK on Feb. 10.

The Muppets were created by Jim Henson in the 1950s.
