The Simpsons attracts stars aplenty, including racer Danica Patrick and some kids from 'Glee'
The Simpsons may be the longest-running comedy in TV history, starting its 22d season in the fall, but that doesn't mean it's old hat in celebrity land. They're still clamoring to get next to Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa.

The Simpsons may be the longest-running comedy in TV history, starting its 22d season in the fall, but that doesn't mean it's old hat in celebrity land. They're still clamoring to get next to Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa.
Monday morning, Fox announced that the season premiere Sept. 26, “Elementary School Musical,” features artsy counselors at Lisa's music camp, played by the artsiest of artsy muscians, Flight of the Conchords Kiwis Jermaine Clement and Bert McKenzie. And Lisa's joined by fellow-camper Glee-sters Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley.
House and Harry Potter hit the "Treehouse of Horror," which, apparently, can use the British accents of Hugh Laurie and Daniel Radcliffe. Martha Stewart plays her yuletide self in "Fight Before Christmas," and Mad Men's Jon Hamm takes a shot as an FBI agent in "Donnie Fatso."
Other big names lending their voices: Kristen Wiig from Saturday Night Live, How I Met Your Mother's Alyson Hannigan, NASCAR driver Danica Patrick; Cheech & Chong and NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
