Kermit: Some fear stalkers, I fear chefs

These two need no introduction.
In Berlin to promote their first movie together in over a decade, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy invited questions from the German media on everything from staying in shape to going on tour.
SOUNDBITE Kermit the frog, saying (English):
"I try to stay limber, you know. It's very important to keep the arms moving. I can do that faster than most frogs. I try to eat well, I eat flies and mosquitoes, a high protein diet. And it seems to be working so far."
Miss Piggy's fitness regime seems to be working as well.
SOUNDBITE Miss Piggy, saying (English)
"Lots of beauty sleep, the beds are very good at the Holiday Inn, by the way. The beds are nice. And you know, I take care of myself. I eat right."
SOUNDBITE Kermit the frog, saying (English):
"And you eat left and inbetween."
Next on their schedule were a number of one-on-one junket interviews.
When taking 'The Muppets' movie to France, Kermit's concerns are not so much about things like hotel accommodation as the French cuisine, especially a particular delicacy, very disturbing for him and his kind.
SOUNDBITE Kermit the frog, saying (English):
"I don't think too many Hollywood stars have to worry about that (promoting a movie in France). I think Tom Cruise can probably go, Johnny Depp, he lives in France, never has his legs threatened, you know. One of the downsides to being a frog, I guess."
And of being a popular frog.
SOUNDBITE Kermit the frog, saying (English):
"It happens, it happens - some stars have stalkers, I have chefs, it's the same thing, it's tough."
Miss Piggy on the other hand has had a hard time being mistaken for another famous Hollywood actress.
SOUNDBITE Miss Piggy, saying (English)
"You know, Angelina Jolie and moi are very close friends. And it is very hard for the media sometimes to tell us apart. She is constantly being photographed and the caption has my name under her picture and vice versa. That is why I have chosen to wear blonde wigs, so that we don't get mistaken for each other that much."
In "The Muppets" movie, the old Muppets theatre is threatened to be torn down, so three muppet fans make it their mission the bring the old gang back together.
That's not as easy as it sounds.
In order to raise ten million dollars necessary to save their theatre, they put up a charity show...but they only have two days to make it happen...
