The film has a lot of live up to as the previous Muppets film, which stared Jason Segel, took more that £92.8million worldwide and won the Oscar for best song at the 2012 ceremony. 
Meanwhile Ricky has been forced to defend his latest TV show - Derek - after it was suggested he was mocking people with learning difficulties.
Speaking about the TV show, which is about life in a care home and airs on Wednesday evening, he said: 
‘He's different. But then so are a lot of people. He's not the smartest tool in the box but he's cleverer than Father Dougal [from cult TV series Father Ted], and not as different as Mr Bean.
‘He's based on those people you meet who are on the margins of society. Nerds, loners, under-achievers.’

The worst shop assistant ever... Or an Alexander Wang commercial? Comedy spoof is unlikely ad for high fashion label

Using a hilariously creative way to promote his new fashion line, Alexander Wang has put out a short video starring several celebrities and a sassy floor clerk with lots of attitude.
In the three-minute video for the designer’s Spring 2013 campaign, outrageous Bon Qui Qui harasses the flagship store’s famous customers including supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, rapper A$AP Rocky and Barneys ambassador Simon Doonan.
Throughout the clip, items from the collection are subtly used as props or displayed in the background while the ill-behaved Alexander Wang employee berates and scares away shoppers.

'Oh you NEED it?' The hilarious employee berates model Shannan Click's pregnant character for saying she 'needs' a shirt in a bigger size
The half-redhead half-blonde character - played by thirty-year-old comedian Anjelah Johnson - originally appeared as a rude and sassy fast food employee in a popular MADtv sketch .
And on the very first day of Bon Qui Qui's new job at the designer's Soho store, she manages to insult customers in every direction, getting herself fired and making off with two purses from the line in the process.
 
When Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio asks for a pair of shoes in her size, Bon Qui Qui proceeds to shove a smaller-sized pair on her feet because she doesn’t want to go to the store’s basement.
She quips: 'They got like 300 shoes down there, I'ma get lost... no girl, this gon' work.’

The video then shows the Brazilian Angel storming off, giving her best runway strut.
Another scene sees Bon Qui Qui scaring off a pregnant customer, played by yet another Victoria's Secret model, 29-year-old Shannan Click.
When Ms Click explains that she needs a shirt in a bigger size, Bon Qui Qui snaps: 'Oh oh you NEED it? Like a starving kid needs food? Or like a homeless man need a house?'
Shocked, the affronted shopper promptly exits the store.
An unsuspecting A$AP Rocky then comes into the shop to buy a shirt, and starstruck Bon Qui Qui attempts to flirt with him.

She then forces a CD into his hands and breaks out some ridiculous dance moves, singing a rendition of her single 'I'ma Cut You'.

In another cameo, the brazen employee accuses Simon Doonan, who has tried on an orange bag from the line, of trying to steal it.
Rushing over to the Barneys store ambassador, she wrestles the purse from him and says: 'Oh girl don't even try it. I SEE you tryin' to steal this purse!'
Finally, Bon Qui Qui's supervisor - played by American Pie actress Natasha Lyonne - comes over to break up the fight and tell her that she is fired.

In a clever final reference to the collection, Bon Qui Qui retorts: 'I don't need you, I don't need that cute jacket over there that I tried on earlier that looked real cute on me, I don't need this bag right here even though it's a bigger version of this one.'
She then marches out of the store with both purses in hand.
Former NFL cheerleader Anjelah Johnson is also known for playing a Vietnemese nail salon employee on MADtv.
Her Bon Qui Qui character had apparently been in retirement until Alexander Wang resurrected her for his fashion campaign video.

Fashion Unique Handmade Jewelry



When considering spending money on jewelry, not that many women think about artisan handmade jewelry. Most ladies will probably go to the nearest department store first to browse their jewelry collections. On their way out, they might visit one or two jewelry stores to see what they have to offer.
It is important to understand that there are many types and classes of jewelry that suit every occasion, from seriously formal to relaxed and even extending to simple jewelry that you wear around the house.

The types of jewelry that you can buy at the traditional stores are probably more suited for the non-distinctive occasions and for more relaxed environment settings. Sure, you might find some piece of jewelry that you like, but you cannot really tell whether one, ten, a hundred, or even a thousand other women are wearing exactly the same piece. In today's world of mass production it is most likely the case that you are buying something that many others are wearing.
If you want a truly unique piece of jewelry, then artisan handmade jewelry is there to rescue you from the mediocrity of replication.

Artisan handmade jewelry goes back in history as early as 7000 BC. During those early years gold and copper started to be shaped to decorate the human form. It is true that artisan handmade jewelry rarely competes on price with machine-made items. However, artisan handmade jewelry is treasured for its uniqueness, diversity and often exceptional exquisiteness.

I can tell that you are a refined lady who wants to express her individuality through unique artisan handmade jewelry, simply from the fact that you have found and are reading this article. You did not find it by searching for the typical, for the replicated, or for the type of jewelry that you see on most women.
When you decide to invest money in a unique piece of artisan handmade jewelry, you know that you are getting a masterpiece that was not only created by a professional, but was also created with exceptional care and with the loving attention to detail that only an experienced artisan can bring to the art of jewelry making.
Of course, you are going to pay a little more for your jewelry that is handmade by an artisan. Nevertheless, you know for certain that you are buying something that is truly unique and refined, just as you are.
