Katy Perry To Guest Star On ‘The Simpsons’

Katy Perry might have been given the axe from Sesame Street, but the mammory-enhanced (and proud of it) pop star isn’t through with puppets just yet. Perry will appear on an upcoming episode of The Simspons in a live-action segment featuring the Simpson clan as puppets. In related news, Katy’s cleavage will get its own episode next Spring. (Not really, but they’re certainly popular enough to warrant their own spin-off series.) Details below.

“In the wake of Elmo’s terrible betrayal, the Simpsons puppets wish to announce they stand felt-shoulder-to-shoulder with Katy Perry,” said series executive producer Al Jean in a statement to EW.com. He also reveals that the episode will be Christmas-themed, and Katy will play Moe’s girlfriend. Well, that’s only slightly more bizarre a choice of beau than Russell Brand.

We’re a tad upset we don’t get to see what a Simpsonized Perry would look like—something like a yellow-hued Jessica Rabbit, we imagine—but either way, her cameo will be more satisfying than the one scene we got with the Glee cast last night. The Simpsons has Lea, Cory and Amber at their disposal, and the only thing they do with them is make them cover “Good Vibrations“? We wanted choreography! Spectacle! A background score made up of a capella singers! Or at least a sly jab at the show itself.

We want another Glee episode, Fox! This time with 100% more Sue Sylvester, too.
