Emma Stone doesn\u2019t seem like a gal who would be easily offended, but today W magazine pushed the ever-cool celebrity over the edge. The publication did it by asking if the actress will be playing Miss Piggy in the upcoming Miss Piggy film<\/a> \u2014 written by Cole Escola, the Tony-winning Oh, Mary! playwright \u2014\u00a0which she\u2019s producing<\/a>. \u201cFirst of all, that is the biggest insult to Miss Piggy I\u2019ve ever heard, and I will not have her name dragged through the mud like that,\u201d Stone immediately shot back in response. \u201cWhy would I play a literal star? She\u2019s the greatest. No, of course I\u2019m not playing Miss Piggy.\u201d Wow! What a (as Miss Piggy might say) faux pas it was to even ask.<\/p>\n

Stone is producing the film alongside her best friend, Jennifer Lawrence, who will also not be playing the fabulous lead. \u201cNeither is Jen,\u201d Stone told W. \u201cWe pale in comparison.\u201d Stone and Lawrence may have three Oscar wins between them, but neither has acted alongside Joan Rivers<\/a>. \u201cAre you out of your mind?\u201d Stone continued. \u201cMiss Piggy is playing Miss Piggy. She would be storming out right now at the mere suggestion.\u201d Kermie will be hearing all about this tonight before bed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
