Bild is a German tabloid first published in 1952. It is the best-selling newspaper outside Japan and has the sixth-largest circulation worldwide.

Die Muppets promotion (2012)

Reporter Judith Bonesky "secretly" followed Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog around the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Berlin for the daily tabloid while they were there promoting the release of Die Muppets on January 18, 2012. Bonesky learned about the couple's three-course candlelight dinner at the Brasserie (no pork, ham or frog legs), listened to Kermit playing and singing Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" for Miss Piggy at the bar, and was told by the couple at the lobby's fireplace that, while the two share a hotel room, the pig sleeps in bed, while the frog sleeps in the tub to stay moist.

Reporter Carolin Dendler then caught up with Miss Piggy on February 4, 2012, attending the film and television awards show Verleihung der Goldenen Kamera in Berlin, to get styling and party tips from the pig.

Muppets Most Wanted promotion (2014)

Bild staged a relationship shake-up between Kermit and Miss Piggy, involving Dutch celebrity Sylvie Meis in April 2014.
