Miss Piggy and Kermit of the Muppets split ahead of new show

LOS ANGELES: Yet another Hollywood power couple bit the dust on Tuesday as Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog announced their separation, conveniently setting a new dynamic for the upcoming The Muppets television show.

In a joint statement posted online, the glamorous and fame-obsessed Miss Piggy and upbeat, affable amphibian Kermit said they will not be involved romantically, but will continue working together on television and other projects.

“After careful thought, thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling, Kermit the Frog and moi have made the difficult decision to terminate our romantic relationship,” Miss Piggy said on her Facebook page.

She added “our personal lives are now distinct and separate, and we will be seeing other people, pigs, frogs, et al. This is our only comment on this private matter … unless we get the right offer.”

ABC’s revival of The Muppets, airing in September, will follow the much-loved characters behind the scenes of Miss Piggy’s new late night show in a ‘mockumentary’ manner, Variety said.

The Muppets, a collection of puppet characters created by Jim Henson in the 1950s and owned by Walt Disney Co, have become a staple of American pop culture.

When I heard this on the radio, I had to pull over to the shoulder of the road for a few minutes. Horrible news.

Seeing the media frenzy surrounding Bruce Jenner, Kermit has decided to go trans, and now wants to be called "Kimmie".

He's planning a reality show that follows his new life as a trans-amphibian.

Was it a conscious uncoupling?

Cross species relationships are generally against the
law in most states, however I suppose it won’t be
long till Obama endorses species equality.

After all he did marry a wookie.

Reminds me of the idiots who want mickey and minie to actually marry. Once the marriage happened the storyline of pursuit ends. (they are story characters)

Essentially this is to reboot a franchise they thought was mined out.

I always found the whole “thing” they are supposed to have really weird (not to mention that they are not real). The whole last 20 minutes of “Muppets Take Manhattan” is just bizarre and I’ve only watched it once.

About time. Missy Piggy could do better. Kermit was always a limp wristed liberal.

Nonsense, Miss Piggy is being taken out of the cycle to avoid embarrassing comparisons to Hillary. She has a career to protect and doesn’t want to get on Hill’s bad side.
