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.
