The 23 Best 'Simpsons' Musician Cameos
by AOL Music Staff, posted Oct 15th 2011 3:00PM
When we heard 'The Simpsons' was on the verge of cancellation, we started reminiscing about all the rockers and rappers that have appeared on the show throughout its 23-season existence. With that in mind, we decided to compile this list of our favorite musician cameos, and here's hoping to many more now that the show has been renewed.NBC cuts the episode order for Raines
by Brett Love, posted Dec 18th 2006 11:59AM
I'm reminded of the great American poet Dave Mustaine who said, "Hindsight is always 20/20, but looking back it's still a bit fuzzy." You may recall that before it became Knights of Prosperity, that show was called Let's Rob Mick Jagger. And before that, it was reported to be I Want To Rob Jeff Goldblum. Unfortunately, that didn't work out because Goldblum already had a gig set up at NBC called Raines. It's about a detective that sees dead people. I like to think of it as The Ghost Whisperer minus the boobs. Adam mentioned a couple weeks ago that Raines would be starting in March. That's still the plan, but Cynopsis is reporting that they have cut the episode order from 13 to 7, which is never a good sign. Maybe things would have been better for Goldblum had he jumped ship to get robbed over at ABC. On the other hand, given the state of the rest of the ABC midseason shows, I wouldn't bet on that one either.
I want to rob Mick Jagger

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger may be
playing a key role in a new comedy for ABC about a group of guys in New York who decide to rob a celebrity. That
celebrity may be Mick Jagger, if negotiations pan out.Originally, the title of the sitcom was I Want to Rob Jeff Goldblum, but Jeff is working on his own pilot project for NBC and was never attached to the project (although, I totally like the idea of him in that role). The creators turned to Mick Jagger, but his name won't be in the title and he will only appear in a few scenes.
I totally dig this idea for a show. I think they could keep it going by picking different celebrities to rob. I'd like to see them try to rob Patrick Swayze, Carol Channing, and Frankie Muniz. Who would you like to see robbed?
ABC puts a 5-second delay on Super Bowl

Just in case Mick Jagger or,
God forbid, Keith Richards decides to flash us, ABC was already planning to put a 5-10 second
delay on the halftime show. Now it will also be ready in case Matt Hasselbeck decides to moon the camera. For the first
time in the Super Bowl's 40-year history, the entire event will be broadcast with a five-second delay. That includes
pre-game, game, and post-game coverage. Gee, I wonder what that's all about. It couldn't be the thing that wouldn't
die, AKA Janet Jackson's accidental or intentional boob reveal during the halftime show two years ago, could it?
Apparently ABC doesn't want the $550,000 in fines that CBS had to pay for that major nip slip. Last year, FOX refused
to put a tape delay on its broadcast of the Super Bowl. FOX network said it was treating the game "as a news
event". The Parents Television Council publicly praised ABC for going with the delay. The group president said, "ABC has wisely decided to ensure that this year's Super Bowl is not hijacked by raunchy performers as it was in 2004."
Now that the sex will be taken care of, what about all the shots of the coaches and players yelling curse words? Come on! We may not be able to hear them but we know they're not yelling about figs.
The Rolling Stones to play at Super Bowl
by Bob Sassone, posted Sep 2nd 2005 2:15PM
In what has to be the most boring, predictable news of the day, The Rolling Stones will play during the half-time show of the Super Bowl game in February. Let's just hope that Mick doesn't rip off Keith's shirt.
Seriously, rock n' roll is a young person's game. I don't want to see 60somethings rockin' during the Super Bowl or any other bowl, no matter how legendary and great they are.
