LOS ANGELES — Lady Gaga will star as herself on an upcoming episode of “The Simpsons,” Entertainment Weekly reported yesterday.
In the episode, titled “Lisa Goes Gaga,” Lady Gaga stops in the Simpsons’ hometown of Springfield after learning that the town suffers from an epidemic of low self-esteem, and attempts to cheer up Lisa Simpson.
The singer also shares a kiss with Marge Simpson in the episode.
“I play a little bit of a slut,” she joked. “The apple doesn’t fall far from my artistic tree.”
Lady Gaga said recording her lines was “a little nerve-wracking.”
“I make music, but I don’t do voiceovers every day of the week, and their characters are so awesomely convincing . . . I had to remind myself of the sincerity of the humor,” she said.
She described the experience as “one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.”
The episode will air in spring 2012 on Fox during the show’s 23rd season.
