My Secret Celebrity Crush #Muppets Fun Facts

I have a new, secret celebrity crush.  Do you ever watch a celebrity and not truly appreciate them until they make one movie that totally Wow’s you?  That is what happened the second time I watched The Muppets (now in theaters).  If you don’t know….Jason Segel is my new celebrity crush (right after Jimmy Fallon).  I am so immersed with The Muppets and Jason Segel’s role in it (co-writer, co-producer, and star).  He can sing, he can dance, he can act, he can write.  He’s like the ultimate man!  (Shh, no telling my husband).  Do you have a celebrity crush?  We would love to read about it in the comments!

Everyone I have talked to who went to watch The Muppets over opening weekend walked away very impressed with it.  I hope this hurries and come out on DVD because I wouldn’t mind watching it over and over.  I have listened to the soundtrack many times now.  My daughters have different favorite songs which is super fun.

For all you Muppets fans, here are some fun facts.

PRETTY PIG — A total of 12 different costumes were made for Miss Piggy—more costume changes than any other actor in the film.

TOP TEACHER – Amy Adam’s character Mary is a teacher with 16 students. Thus, no less than 16 perfect apples sit on the edge of the stellar teacher’s desk.

ALL IN THE FAMILY — Choreographer Michael Rooney is the son of Mickey Rooney, who appears in the film in a cameo role. This is the first time the two have ever worked together on a film.

MINI ME — Muppet versions of Gary/Jason Segel and director James Bobin were created.

 HIGH FASHION — Miss Piggy had shoes made for her by Christian Louboutin and a dress by Zac Posen, which she wears in the finale scene.

SEEING GREEN – Disney’s “The Muppets” was a green set (in more ways than one) with an environmental steward who made sure the proper recycling receptacles were utilized on set. All of paper products were made from recycled materials and were compostable. The production also provided each crew member with aluminum refillable water bottles to cut down on the use of plastic bottles and paper cups. Water was readily available on set for cast and crew to fill their personal water bottles.
