REEL NEWS:You can't escape from Miss Piggy at present.

The cover star of last week's Ticketis now set (not for the first time, you might argue) to follow in the trotters of JoanRivers. The porcine glamour-puss will be hosting the red carpet at the Bafta Awards in London on Sunday. Everybody wins. Bafta gets to look a little bit funky. Disney gets to promote the Muppets movie. Let's hope that Michelle Williams has ditched that little-old-lady costume she was wearing at the Golden Globes. Ooo! Saucer of milk for Reel News, please.
