Salma Hayek may not have a big part in the upcoming Muppets Most Wanted movie, but don't tell that to her six-year-old daughter, Valentina.

"I have a little cameo but I'm very excited because I'm her hero now," the Grown Ups actress told me at the BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards at he Beverly Hilton hotel. "I have finally arrived."

Tom Hiddleston told E! News also about working on the movie with Kermit the Frog when we caught up with him at last week's premiere of Thor: The Dark World.

"It was amazing," Hiddelston said. "I got completely starstruck. I have to tell you, I have peaked! It's all downhill from here. I will never such a juicy gig again!"

Muppets Most Wanted finds our favorite puppets tangled up in a European jewelry heist lead by a Kermit lookalike named Constantine. A sequel to the 2011 Muppets reboot, the film stars Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey. It's due in theaters on March 21, 2014.

"The idea of this film is that our gang is on this global tour, and we're selling out these grand theaters all over Europe—in Berlin, Madrid, London—but we sort of get into a little bit of trouble when we run across my Doppelgänger," Kermit said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly (yes, Kermie does interviews!). "He's the world's number one criminal, Constantine, and he happens to look an awful lot like me. I won't tell you any more than that, but let's just say mayhem ensues."

Other celebrity cameos reportedly include Lady Gaga, Usher, Christoph Waltz, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Celine Dion.
