An upcoming Season 21 Simpsons episode will focus on the sport of curling. In the episode (probably titled Rednecks and Broomsticks, though unconfirmed), Homer and Marge form a mixed-doubles curling team with Principal Skinner and his mother, Agnes.
Marge turns out to be a good curler because of her expertise at household chores, while Homer is not very good. Marge must decide whether to risk hurting Homer's feelings by dropping him from the team. Meanwhile, Lisa sets out to collect Olympic pins.
The episode is set to air in February, just before the 2010 Winter Olympics.
More guest stars have been confirmed for The Simpsons' upcoming 21st Season. Comedienne and actress Sarah Silverman will play Bart's new girlfriend, who "alternately loves him and hates him for no reason". In another episode, titled Million Dollar Maybe, Homer wins the lottery and hires Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to play a concert for Bart.
The pop star Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50. Paramedics were called to the singer's home around midday local time on Thursday after he stopped breathing and suffered a suspected cardiac arrest. He was rushed by ambulance to a local medical centre, but his death was announced shortly afterwards.
Say goodbye to boring car journeys! TomTom, the GPS navigation system commonly known as "sat nav" has joined forces with Fox to release a voice module by none other than Homer Simpson.
You have reached your destination. And you can hold your head up high, because you are a genius!
That's right, Futurama has been resurrected once more! Comedy Central has announced they have picked up the series for an impressive 26 new episodes.
Futurama was cancelled in 2003 after the fifth series. However it was revived in 2007 in the form of four straight-to-DVD movies, the last of which released earlier this year. Comedy Central will begin showing the new instalments in mid-2010.
Quipped Matt Groening, "We're thrilled Futurama is coming back. We now have only 25,766 episodes to make before we catch up with Bender and Fry in the year 3000." Added David X. Cohen, "We're excited and amazed that the show is coming back, perhaps due to some sort of mysterious time loop. We look forward to working with Comedy Central and 20th Television to make this the best iteration of the loop yet!"
Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle has been mentioned in a new Simpsons spot advertising the show on Fox. Pieced together from old clips and redubbed, it shows Homer auditioning for Springfield's Got Talent
. You can see a video below.My name is Homer Simpson. I'm 39 and well... I've never been kissed,
Homer says. My dream is to become a great singer like Susan Boyle.
Boyle became famous after dispelling the myth (apparently) that only attractive people can sing, and has since been the focus of an intense media storm. She ended up coming second in the talent show.
Civic officials at two Scottish cities are fighting over the home town of Simpsons character Groundskeeper Willie. Both Glasgow and Aberdeen believe he hails from their city.
Glasgow City Council have put Willie in their online hall of fame alongside the likes of Billy Connolly and Lulu. In the Season 8 episode, Simpson-califragilisticexpiala (Annoyed Grunt) cious, Willie reminisces about Shary Bobbins: Then she got her eyesight back. Suddenly the ugliest man in Glasgow wasn't good enough for her!
However, in the Season 14 episode, 'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky, Willie wakes from a nap shouting Go Aberdeen!
But of course, any Simpsons fan will tell you that Groundskeeper Willie actually hails from North Kiltown!
Freelance graphic designer Brad Anderson has created an awesomely bizarre set of Simpsons character models based on real-life celebrities.
Amazon.co.uk has revealed the DVD cover art for the Twelfth Season boxset! It features Comic Book Guy sporting a superhero costume.
The Simpsons are being immortalized on a set of stamps issued by the United States Postal Service.
Long time no update (again). I've been travelling in the States for the past 10 weeks - 'twas a great trip!
While in Hollywood I took a trip to Universal Studios and experienced the new Simpsons Ride. If you haven't already been, I thouroughly recommend it. To experience it to its fullest, wait until the line is quite long (at least 40 minutes) and you can catch masses of original animation and classic clips while waiting in line!
More about that coming soon. Today though, we have a really cool content update. The Simpsons has coined many words and phrases that have entered mainstream consciousness. You may already be familiar with d'oh, yoink and embiggen, which are all perfectly cromulent words; but there are many more you may not remember, which we have compiled into a big dictionary.

Apologies for a lack of updates recently. Working a job and going to the pub seems to take up all of my time these days.
I am still working on the movie script and general site maintenance. I also updated Season 9 of our British censorship guide with a few cuts from Channel 4 in The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson that was on just now.
I noticed yesterday that a bunch of links in the new top menu were broken so I've fixed them I hope. If you come across any broken links, feel free to fire an email off to me - contact [at] simpsoncrazy [dot] com.
We've got a brand new page for you! This one is a guide to the U.S. Constitution, Simpsons-style. It was written by Dave Hettel and was hosted elsewhere until Dave decided he didn't have time to maintain it, and generously donated it to us!
Just a mini-update to say a new contest has started, following last week's bumper Halloween special. Six people got all five THOH segments correct!
Take a look at the answers to see if you got it right, and check the leaderboard from the main contest page, where you can of course enter the new Secret Sound.
Since Halloween is just around the corner, we thought we'd put up a few decorations! Hope you like the new look.
Today we also celebrate the return of our regular "Secret Sound" contest! This week it's a bumper Halloween special with 5 clips from Halloween segments.
I've been busy behind the scenes improving the scoreboard script so it's easier for me to mark. Hopefully the contests will be updated more regularly than they used to be.

So... it's been a pretty long time since something happened on this web site. You may have noticed the hints in various posts about a redesign coming to this site. This has been in the works on and off (mostly off) for about three years! Now I've realised that this is gonna get done quicker if I implement it in stages.
Today begins the first phase of what I'm calling the "Simpson Crazy redevelopment". I've started a gradual switch from SHTML pages over to PHP pages, which will provide more flexibility behind the scenes.
I've also uploaded new content layouts for a few pages. These have been sitting on my computer for over a year and they fit into the current site's design so I added them in. Specifically, the main Image gallery page, wallpapers section and Simpsons Comics guide pages have been updated. If you click on a thumbnail you'll get a nice new image viewer where you don't have to leave the page!
Finally, keep your eyes peeled for the return of our regular Simpsons contest very soon!
Yet more wallpapers have been added to the gallery! Most of them come from yet another defunct site, Krustylu Studios and have been remastered so that we can bring you both our standard sizes (1024x768 and 1280x1024).
Huge thanks to Brad for donating them! The one you can see top left was created by me and is from The Springfield Files.
Wow, it's been way too long since I made a content update here, but this is a big one! Today we unveil our extensive guide to Simpsons censorship in the UK, listing all the words, lines and even whole scenes cut from episodes because of bad language, violence and some more reasons that don't make sense.
I 'inherited' the guide from another site that shut down, The Britsons. And after a lot of work formatting, editing and adding to the great work done before me, we have what is one of our finest sections here at Simpson Crazy.
If you're a Briton you will find it indispensible. If not, I'm sure you will have fun reading through what our TV channels believe is offensive!

Happy New Year! And what better way to kick off 2007 than a new wallpaper for your desktop! I've added 23 new wallpapers to the gallery - there are so many now I've had to split it up into four sections:
- Simpsons characters
- Other characters
- Episode-specific
- Other scenes
I also took a decision to limit the resolutions to 1024x768 and 1280x1024 because these are increasingly becoming the two most common resolutions. If you are using a low resolution you should consider switching up so that the backgrounds look better.
Enjoy!
