OnlineHost: Your AOLiveMC for tonight is LindaSG.

AOLiveMC5: Welcome Miss Piggy!

MissPggy: Thank vous, thank vous! It is moi, your superstar, Miss Piggy! Let the interview begin!

AOLiveMC5: Here is the first question:

Question: My very, very favorite Christmas program is John Denver and the Muppets. Has Miss Piggy seen Jonathan lately and does she plan on any more productions with him?

MissPggy: Jonathan is a dear, dear boy, and although moi does not have any immediate plans, a Rocky Mountain vacation is always a possibility.

Question: Any luck in nudging Kermit to the altar during the filming of Muppet Treasure Island? It must have been pretty romantic on location.

MissPggy: Although Kermit prefers to keep our romantic life private, just between moi and my close friends reading this, when he comes home at night -- we're talking gangbusters here!

Question: Hi Miss Piggy, do you wear Amphibia, Kermit's fragrance? I do. Are you planning to have your own fragrance?

MissPggy: Moi have worn Amphibia. It is an intriguing fragrance. And moi am planning a fragrance of my own. I may call it "Eau de Swine".

Question: How was "Kermie" behaved in this film? (By the way, is it any good?)

MissPggy: The film is a wonderful film! The only bad thing about it is that moi does not make my entrance until page 40 of the script.

Question: How old are you?

MissPggy: Moi seem to be having some technical difficulties. I didn't get that last question.

AOLiveMC5: Let's try another .

Question: Miss Piggy, how do I ask a girl out who I have a crush on?

MissPggy: Moi would use the telephone.

Question: Ms. Piggy did you like Treasure Island? Do pigs tan?

MissPggy: Treasure Island was a lovely location. Pigs do tan, and occasionally I've heard some even roast.

Question: What did you get Kermit for Valentine's Day?

MissPggy: That is a personal question. But if you must ask, he loves chocolate covered grasshoppers, and that is what moi has given him.

Question: Piggy, are you going to make often appearances on "Muppets Tonight!"?

MissPggy: Moi will be appearing occasionally on Muppets Tonight. I will be doing a new version of Pigs In Space called Deep Dish Nine: The Next Generation of Pigs in Space.

Question: What was the most romantic setting you and Kermit were ever placed in?

MissPggy: In our new movie, we are in a romantic, tropical hideaway, and I must say it really puts a pig in the mood!

Question: Will your love always be for Kermit?

MissPggy: Kermie is moi's "magnificent obsession". We will always be together, like Hepburn and Tracey... like George and Gracie... like Roy and Trigger.

Question: How do you keep your piggy figure?

MissPggy: Moi would like to divulge my secret, but I am negotiating a deal for an exercise video. I may call it "Eating to the Oldies"

Question: Ms. Piggy what is your favorite movie?

MissPggy: I enjoyed Hamlet.

Question: Ms. Piggy what is your favorite Muppet movie?

MissPggy: Other than Muppet Treasure Island, which opens on Feb. 16th, at a theater near vous, my favorite is The Muppet Movie, because it documents the now legendary meeting of moi and Kermie.

Question: Did you and Kermit kiss? I hear he's a great kisser!

MissPggy: Is Kermit a great kisser? You'll never know how good he is!

Question: How were you able to protect your delicate pigskin during filming of Treasure Island? It must have been very difficult.

MissPggy: I used sunscreen. SPF #300.

Question: Do you have any advice on how to keep love alive?

MissPggy: My suggestion to keep love alive? Lots and lots of presents!

Question: Who's your favorite director?

MissPggy: Moi's favorite director is the one who gives me my next big, big role. If there are any directors out there, call my agent Bernie.

Question: Miss Piggy, where did you get your voice training?

MissPggy: Moi am a graduate of Master Cho's School of Charm, Voice and Martial Arts.

Question: If Kermit was a pig, would you like him any more?

MissPggy: Moi loves Kermit for who he is. Not what he is. But moi is sure he makes a much better frog than he would a pig!

Question: Did Kermie give you your valentine yet? And are you going to have dinner with him tonight?

MissPggy: Moi and Kermie are having a romantic little rendezvous at an undisclosed location, where moi am sure he will present me with a spectacular Valentine gift and if he doesn't, we will have a romantic little rendezvous in the emergency room!

Question: Miss Piggy, what state do you live in?

MissPggy: I travel around a lot. One member of moi's staff is responsible for remembering what state I am in at any given time. Tonight's his day off.

Question: Miss Piggy, have you been keeping that karate chop of yours up to snuff?

MissPggy: Moi practices my karate for a full 3 minutes each and every day.

Question: how did you get Kermit to notice you

MissPggy: He was immediately knocked out by my glamour and beauty, and my left hook.

Question: Miss Piggy, what is a normal day for you?

MissPggy: Tuesday.

Question: Do you have any relatives?

MissPggy: Yes, moi does have relatives. They still live on the farm, and I try to visit them whenever I can.

Question: Where is Treasure Island?

MissPggy: At a theater near you, starting Friday.

Question: Miss Piggy, Do you steer clear of pork products?

MissPggy: Moi seem to be having some of those technical difficulties again. I didn't get that question.

Question: Why are you so violent with Kermit? Is your hair permed or naturally curly?

MissPggy: Moi am not violent with Kermit. A lady is not violent. She is assertive.

Question: What is the most demanding part of being an international love-object and mega star?

MissPggy: Moi would say the most demanding part is answering questions about moi's hair.

Question: Wasn't there a rumor in the Star linking you with the star of the movie "Babe"?

MissPggy: Of course not. Babe is the short, barnyard type, and moi is the glamorous, superstar type. We have nothing in common!

Question: Did you have to lose weight to be in Treasure Island?

MissPggy: There are those technical difficulties again.

Question: Who does your makeup?

MissPggy: Moi has a team of trained professionals ready to spring into action at a moments notice.

Question: Who is your favorite Muppet besides Kermit?

MissPggy: I suppose moi runs a close second.

Question: One of my best friends is a girl. I love her as a girlfriend. Should I tell her? We are 10 years old

MissPggy: Moi's philosophy has always been, tell them how you feel. Moi has always told Kermit how I feel. And unfortunately, Kermit has always told moi how he feels.

Question: What role do you play in the current movie that you are in?

MissPggy: Moi plays Benjamina Gunn, maroonee and Queen of the Boars.

Question: Will Vets hospital still be on Muppets Tonight? Are you still a nurse or have you gone to medical school?

MissPggy: As of now, we will not be doing Vets Hospital on the new show.

Question: Who's your favorite designer for your clothes?

MissPggy: Moi would love someday to wear the designs of Todd OldHAM and Anna Sui.

Question: Did you get along on the set of "A Muppet's Christmas Carol"?

MissPggy: I had a good time on the set of Muppet Christmas Carol. Moi would have had a better time if my part had been bigger.

Question: My 13 year-old daughter Andrea wants to know if Keanu Reeves does anything for you?

MissPggy: He does moi's gardening twice a week. He does a good job on the hedges, but leaves the lawn a mess.

Question: Where did you learn all that Karate?

MissPggy: Good old Master Cho's School of Charm, Voice, Modeling, Waterskiing and Martial Arts.

AOLiveMC5: We have time for one last question Miss Piggy.

Question: Miss Piggy, Is it true that you had a nose job?

MissPggy: Many people have asked if moi has had plastic surgery. My response has always been, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. N'est ce pas?

AOLiveMC5: Thank you so much Miss Piggy! It has been terrific to have you here this evening! Good luck with your new film!

MissPggy: It was wonderful to be here! Happy Valentine's Day everyone! And moi hopes to see you on Friday at a theater near you... for Muppet Treasure Island... which is rated G... for general audiences. Au revoir and kissy-kissy!

AOLiveMC5: Thank you for joining us audience and for sending your questions. See you at the movie!
