Homer the blind cat gets star treatment on Animal Planet

Fans of Homer the blind wonder cat will get to see him in action Saturday night when the amazing feline is featured in an episode of "Cats 101" on Animal Planet.

Author Gwen Cooper adopted the eyeless black kitten when he was just four weeks old, and later chronicled Homer's incredible story in the New York Times bestseller, "Homer's Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned About Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat."

Marge Simpson gets a Playboy cover


First we hear that Levi Johnston -- Sarah Palin's daughter baby daddy -- is taking it all off for Playgirl.

Now we hear the next character to go nekked will be Marge Simpson.

It seems the mother of three, who we'll admit keeps herself in pretty good shape, will be featured in a three-page pictorial, complete with an interview for the November issue. (There will still be a 3D Playmate too.)

Not sure how this will go over with feminist Lisa or what the guys at school will say to Bart, but we're pretty sure Homer will be happy.

And we're happy Homer is not going to take it off for Playgirl. Or, far worse, Mr. Burns. Ewww!

The Simpsons Get on a Stamp!

The Hollywood Reporter says The Simpsons are being immortalized on stamps by the U.S. Postal Service later this year.

The 44-cent first-class mail stamps, designed by Simpsons creator and executive producer Matt Groening, will feature Homer, Marge,
Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson.

There will be a sneak peek April 9, and the stamps will help celebrate the longest-running primetime comedy's 20th
anniversary this year.

And maybe, just maybe, it will help the shaky P.O. make some money.
