"The Simpsons" Celebrity Cameos For Next Season
From AP News:
Stones Roll 'Simpsons'
By Josef Adalian
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - "The Simpsons" executive producer James L. Brooks is taking a trip to Springfield -- along with a slew of other celebs scheduled to make cameos next season.
Brooks will appear as himself in an upcoming episode of the Fox toon dubbed "A Star Is Born Again." Oscar winner Marisa Tomei will also lend her voice to the episode.
"The Simpsons" will start its 14th season on Sunday, Nov. 10, with an episode featuring Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, along with rockers Tom Petty, Brian Setzer, Lenny Kravitz and Elvis Costello. The episode is titled "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation."
The series will also mark its milestone 300th episode next year with a half-hour featuring skate god Tony Hawk and Blink 182. Its intriguing title: "Barting Over."
Other guest voices slated to pop up soon include the following:
- Adam West and Burt Ward reprising their roles as Batman and Robin, respectively, in Nov. 24's "Large Marge." Jan Hooks of "Saturday Night Live" fame will also appear.
- Good golly! Little Richard will pop up on the Dec. 15 episode "Special Edna."
- David Lander -- think Squiggy from "Laverne & Shirley" -- is set for the first episode of 2003. He'll play himself, not Squiggy.
- Elliott Gould will also play himself in "The Dad Who Knew Too Little," set to air Jan. 12.
Can't wait!

I think it's sad they haven't canceled this show already.
Ok, not that we've gotten the obligatory thread crap out of the way, I can respond with an enthusiastic "D'oh!" The season isn't starting until November? I wonder when (or if) they're going to have a Treehouse of Terror episode.

What?! An episode titled "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation" and no mention of Joe Strummer?
In any case, I always look forward to new Simpsons. But November? This is gonna hurt...

Marisa Tomei? Mick Jagger? Tom Petty? Blink 182? Tony Hawk?! This will be the funniest season ever!! Forget witty and intelligent comedic writing to attract viewers; bring on the celebrities!

Of course the challenge may be to find celebrities that haven't been on the Simpsons yet 
Truthfully, I'm sure there will be many other guest appearances, although it doesn't really matter. The show rarely ever advertises them. I remember when Edward Norton was on and I didn't even realize it until the end credits.

Totally agree with the pandering point in the previous post. I thought it would have bottomed out with the Mel Gibson episode, but I guess not.
If the strike ends baseball this season on Sept 16, can we get the Simpsons earlier? That'd be cool. Plus it can end my suffering as a White Sox fan earlier.
