I'm just happy it's not made out of people I know. Tell me what you think of what Lady Gaga is wearing. Lady Gaga: Well, she was wondering if it was going to be another late night. Sway: Has she really? I know she's a jealous woman. Lady Gaga: Miss Piggy has been sending me some pretty funny text messages though. Lady Gaga: You're so handsome tonight, Kermit. Kermit: You know, Piggy and I have been together for a long time, but Gaga and I, we're just friends. Sway: What about Miss Piggy? I thought Miss Piggy was your girl. I mean it's our first date, and we've been eying each other for some time, but I'm pretty excited. Kermit: I was afraid they might not recognize you when you try to get in. Kermit: Lady Gaga, you forgot your credentials. Lady Gaga: You know what, it's totally ladies night and I'm just happy to be here. Does it even matter that both you and Beyoncé both got 9?
