PHARRELL COVERS FEBRUARY ISSUE OF 'GQ'
The entertainer discusses T.I. disappointment & possibly new Kelly Clarkson music.

Along with taking as many responsibilities that he could fit in his oversized fedora, Pharrell is now adding animated comedy to the roster! The entertainer is making a move to Springfield, as he will guest star on The Simpsons! The cameo, where he plays himself, is set to air on the FOX network show on February 8.

The episode is titled “Walking Big & Tall,” and the plot is based on a true story of a 1980s Milwaukee composer who writes a city-pride song but ends up promoting the tune to various cities — this time it will include Springfield. Pharrell then swoops in to save the day and writes another city anthem. That same evening of The Simpsons airing, he will make an appearance at the 57th annual Grammys! He is up for six awards and will also perform on stage. Artists like Madonna, Sam Smith and Usher are also set to entertain for music’s big night.
