THE SIMPSONS NEW EPISODES

Fox has announced it will air two new episodes of The Simpsons in Feburary.

"Little Big Girl," guest-starring Natalie Portman, will air on Feb. 11.

Here's how Fox describes the episode:

"When Lisa struggles to find excitement and intrigue in her family heritage for a school presentation, she decides to take creative license in crafting her heritage as a Native American, since it's only for a school project. What begins as an innocent embellishment quickly turns into a web of lies when Lisa is chosen to represent the school, and 'her people,' at City Hall, and then as a keynote speaker for the National Native American Tribal Council. As a reward for a heroic act, Bart is granted a driver's license, and in an attempt to escape endless family errands and chauffeuring, he flees to a faraway town where he is romanced by Darcy (guest voice Portman), an older teenage girl whose expectations may prove to be too much for Bart."

"Springfield Up," guest-starring Eric Idle, will air on Feb. 28.

Here's how Fox describes the episode:

"Famous documentarian Declan Desmond (guest voice Idle) walks us through the lives of Springfieldıs most prominent inhabitants from childhood to the present. Those profiled include Marge, Moe and Homer, who attempts to convince Declan and his crew that he is a millionaire."

Fox also released an image from "Yokel Chords," the March 4 episode that shows guest voices Andy Dick and James Patterson as themselves, Meg Ryan as Dr. Swanson, Stephen Sondheim as himself and Peter Bogdanovich as a psychologist. Click on the thumbnail for a larger image.

Oni Press on Monday announced that Stephen Colbert, the Emmy Award-winning host of Comedy Central's Colbert Report, will be making an appearance at the New York Comic-Con in support of the new comic book mini-series, Stephen Colbertıs Tek Jansen.

Colbert will be signing at the New York Comic-Con on Friday, Feb. 23 at 4:30 p.m.

"We are so excited about Tek Jansen's comic book debut," said Oni Press founder and publisher Joe Nozemack. "Mr. Colbert and the rest of the BusBoy Productions staff have been so supportive and encouraging during the development of this project. We're proud to be working with such a talented array of people and we're delighted Mr. Colbert will be joining us at the New York Comic-Con."

Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen will run five 32-page issues. It is written by John Layman and Tom Peyer with Jim Massey and illustrated by Scott Chantler with others. The first issue features a special 1-in-4 variant cover by John Cassaday.
