Gaga to guest star as herself on The Simpsons



Grammy winner Lady Gaga is heading to Springfield for a guest gig on TV's The Simpsons, the show's star Yeardley Smith told Broadway.com. Smith (who voices Lisa Simpson and currently appears in off-Broadway's Love, Loss and What I Wore) is returning to Los Angeles on August 22, her day off from the play, to record the episode with the singer.

"This is extraordinary! I'm stunned that she has time in her schedule that she's coming to our studio to record," Smith said. Previewing Gaga's storyline, the actress said, "She's playing herself, and [The Simpsons writers] describe her as the happiest, most optimistic person in the world. She comes to Springfield to try to cheer up Lisa, but she can't."

Lady Gaga's appearance will air during the animated hit's upcoming 23rd season. In a previous episode, an animated version of the "Bad Romance" singer (not voiced by Gaga) appeared on the show as Tony winner Elton John's date to the Golden Globe Awards.

Smith should have plenty of conversational fodder, given Gaga's love of Broadway, Smith's current fashion-centric off-Broadway role and her plans to launch a shoe line. "I can't wait to see what she wears!" the actress exclaimed.

The plot sounds ok, but I don't like when celebrities voice themselves on the show (at least not anymore). IDK, it can get annoying, now it's just like "LOOK AT ALL THE FAMOUS PEOPLE WE CAN GET!" I prefer them playing a character on the show.

IA. I just caught the old episode where Bart falls in love with Reverend Lovejoy's daughter and when the credits rolled I found out it was Meryl Streep! I love that, and it's so weird when they're just like "LOOK WE'RE STILL RELEVANT... CELEBRITIES!"
[info]sophistiquated 24th-Aug-2011 12:29 am (UTC)
IDK, despite their current ratings they are still relevant, or at least they still make money (the movie made $500 million, the show still has a strong international audience, they make TONS off merchandise). I don't think that its getting a lot of new fans now though since there are more seasons that are average to bad than "classics." For example, teenage boys nowadays are generally more interested in Family Guy and South Park.

[info]klauses 23rd-Aug-2011 02:09 am (UTC)
completely agreed. seasons 2-9 were GOLD.
[info]mari_lyn00 23rd-Aug-2011 12:58 am (UTC)
Not sure how I feel about this. I'd prefer if she was playing another character instead of just herself.
[info]jinnycalderone 23rd-Aug-2011 12:58 am (UTC)

If she's asked about this, I'm sure she'll say The Simpsons is an inspiration to her.
