Here's what it said:
Billboard Bits: 50 Cent, Pixies, Miller/Keen
50 Cent will be among the guest voices heard in the forthcoming 16th
season of the animated Fox series "The Simpsons." The G-Unit rapper will
reportedly be featured in an episode dubbed "Pranksta Rap." No airdate
has been set for the episode.
Providing fodder for a special broadcast is the 2004 Super Bowl halftime
show, which found Janet Jackson's breast exposed thanks to fellow
performer Justin Timberlake and a "wardrobe malfunction."
In an episode set to air Feb. 6, immediately following Super Bowl XXXIX,
family patriarch Homer Simpson and do-gooder neighbor Ned Flanders will
draw the ire of America for their halftime show's "blatant display of
decency," according to Fox. Football player Warren Sapp, skater Michelle
Kwan and basketball players Yao Ming and LeBron James will guest star in
the episode.
Other guest voices to be heard in the new season include actors Ray
Romano, Kim Catrall and James Caan, architect Frank Gehry and author
Thomas Pynchon.
