Last night on The Simpsons, the show used its weekly chalkboard gag to pay tribute to Marcia Wallace, the voice artist behind Springfield Elementary's fourth grade teacher (and crank with a heart of gold) Edna Krabappel.
Oh sad. 'The Simpsons' will air a special tribute episode in memory of Marcia Wallace tonight, but not the one we originally thought. Apparently, plans to air 'Bart the Lover,' arguably one of the best episodes of the entire series, were scrapped due to technical issues.
Match.com enthusiast Martha Stewart cannot, for the life of her, remember why she didn't try to go down to Pound Town back in her days as a preppy young thing who worked at a pastry shop outside a Ralph Lauren store in Connecticut and occasionally sold Hubbell Gardner scones or whatever. Lady, I feel THAT.
Remember way back on Tuesday night when the former White House turd blossom wouldn't admit
One of the biggest issues of the upcoming election is how many states are enacting voter ID laws that make it increasingly difficult for people without driver's licenses to vote. While lawmakers assert that this is to prevent voter fraud, the more cynical (or thoughtful) among us speculate that the laws are designed …
In this week's TV roundup, The Simpsons goes Gaga, Girls goes to Michigan, Anderson finds someone "dreadful" and the kids of Glee graduate.
If any of you are still watching, Lady Gaga will be on the 2,547 season finale of The Simpsons this Sunday, appearing as a (more) cartoonized version of herself who, recognizing a little monster in Lisa, sets out to help the smartest Simpson out of her slump. Here's a pretty charming behind-the-scenes look at her…
In this week's TV roundup, the premiere of GCB, Springfield is Westeros in The Simpsons opening titles, the most awkward serenade on Smash and the return of an old young nemesis on 30 Rock.
First they came for Barbie, and now they're coming for Bart Simpson. Iran has apparently had it with American toys that promote (admittedly crappy) values. It is now banning dolls based on Bart and the rest of his famous family. Mohammad Hossein Farjoo, who runs the agency that oversees what toys Iranian children can…
In this week's compilation of pop culture crap: Kathy Griffin calls Kim Kardashian a "dirty whore," Stephen Colbert's Big Gay News, and Kristen Wiig teaches us how to flirt.
Last night's episode of The Simpsons featured Homer being trained for his new job in ad sales at the power plant by none other than Roger Sterling himself. Okay, actually, it was a Simpsonized version of a modern day Mad Men sales guy who happened to be voiced by John Slattery. Still, for those of us who are…
Last night's Simpsons dove into the world of fiction writing in an episode titled "The Book Job." Lisa was disgusted with Homer's periodical of choice — JetSki Wanter magazine — which was written by a committee of writers. So Homer got the idea to gather Springfield's best and brightest and work on a YA novel! The…
In this week's compilation of pop culture crap, Melissa McCarthy and Ellen Degeneres work on Bridesmaids 2, Joel McHale details how much the Kardashian Klan really hate it when he pokes fun of them on The Soup, and Matt Lauer channels the Old Spice Guy.
The cast of the much beloved Fox TV show The Simpsons is currently in contract negotiations after the network "demanded" a 45% reduction in the salary of its cast members. And they mean business.

Simpsons: The XXX Parody is a hardcore, live-action—in which its stars "cum to life"—imagining of Springfield orgies featuring yellow-skinned actors. We have nothing against porn, but sexualizing a cartoon we've been watching since childhood makes us uncomfortable.
Chelsea Clinton isn't the only one getting married this weekend: as Neatorama points out, Lisa Simpson's wedding, as noted in "Lisa's Future," in 1995, is taking place today. [Neatorama]
More Mad Men today: Our beloved will play an FBI supervisor on an upcoming episode of the cartoon show. And in case you needed confirmation: "He was really funny. And handsome," remarked Simpsons executive producer Al Jeans.
Last night's opening credits were inexplicably refashioned as a music video for Ke$ha's "Tik Tok," featuring the entire cartoon cast. Depending on how you feel about the annoyingly catchy song, it's either awesome or kinda weird.
On last night's episode, First Lady Michelle Obama made a trip to Springfield to give a pep talk to Lisa Simpson, after learning (by following Lisa's FarmVille-esque blog) that the little feminist
There's no Richard Alpert or Jacob, but Smokey and the rest of the Losties were given The Simpsons treatment by an enthusiastic fan. [THR]
The blog Bart's Blackboard is archiving the many phrases Bart has written on the chalkboard in The Simpsons's 21 seasons so you can give the pause button a break. [Bart's Blackboard via BuzzFeed]
Last night, the usually-skeptical Lisa Simpson fell in with some Wiccan girls, and while the witch hunt plot is tired, this clip has some choice quotes, like Bart's cruel analysis of the life decisions that lead a woman to Wicca.
Last night, during the opening credits of The Simpsons, instead of taking their seats at the couch, the family launched into their own version of the classic carol (which includes 10 Lennys leaping).
