Ever since it was announced that Lady Gaga would be featured on the season finale of ‘The Simpsons,’ we’ve been dying to see what they would have her do. And, of course, what they would have her wear. If you have too, now is your chance.
When the Fox Network launched 25 years ago, the "fourth network" was known more for its second run movies than its original programming. 'The Simpsons,' which is in its 23rd season, was one of the station's first breakout hits and helped to make it the prime time powerhouse that it is today.
'The Simpsons' celebrated Fox's 25th anniversary Sunday night with a special message for its parent network. "Congratulations FOX on 25 years…We still love you,*" it read. But there was more.
After "revealing" that America's favorite yellow family The Simpsons hail from the town of Springfield, Oregon last week, creator Matt Groening was quick to retract his statement. So to put matters to rest, the latest episode of 'The Simpsons' latched on to the fervor over Springfield's actual location with its opening sequence chalkboard gag.
Well, Oregon, it was fun while at lasted. Earlier this week, it was reported that Matt Groening, the creator of 'The Simpsons', had declared in an interview with Smithsonian Magazine that the famous family's home of Springfield was in Oregon, ending two decades of debate over what state housed America's favorite animated town.

We don't know about you but we can't properly go through a day without getting a 'Simpsons' fix. Now we've found a way to get ourselves set for the next three months and a week, give or take.
When it comes to fans of 'The Simpsons,' there are generally two camps -- those who love it unconditionally and those who think it petered out in terms of quality sometime during the late '90s. But whatever your opinion, there's no denying that the cartoon's ultraviolent show-within-a-show -- 'The Itchy & Scratchy Show' -- is pretty darned funny.
Getting compared to Bart Simpson is the ultimate compliment for any pint-sized skateboarder. But it's a compliment that 8-year old Schaeffer McLean, who's been dubbed "The Real Life Bart Simpson" has certainly earned.
With 'The Hunger Games' set to hit theaters this week, Next Movie decided to give the movie's characters a makeover every popular (or soon to be) character needs in order to say they have "made it big" in showbiz.
