Katy Perry is going to be guest starring on the Simpsons for the Christmas episode, but in the flesh... including the controversial breasts and all. So, of course the Simpsons writers saw the Elmo controversy as an unforseen gift from the marketing gods (they taped the ep weeks before).
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/09/25/katy-perry-the-simpsons-exclusive/ “In the wake of Elmo’s terrible betrayal, the Simpsons puppets wish to announce they stand felt-shoulder-to-shoulder with Katy Perry,” quipped series executive producer Al Jean in a statement to EW.com. Not only does the singer wind up leading Homer & Co. in a rendition of “The 39 Days of Christmas,” she plays the unlikely role of… Moe’s girlfriend! Yes, from Elmo to Moe she goes. (And as you can see in the picture above, her sartorial selection for this gig probably wouldn’t have been *Street*-approved either: The PBS show announced on Sept. 23 that it wouldn’t air Perry’s performance after previewing it on YouTube and receiving complaints about her cleavage-revealing outfit. By the way, her *Simpsons* bit was shot in mid-September, prior to the fuss.)" http://gawker.com/5648148/katy-perry-will-terrorize-your-television-whether-you-like-it-or-not -- Wesley McGee http://www.ambivi.com http://drawing-a-blank.tumblr.com -- TV or Not TV ....
