Yahoo News Olivia Colman lines up Simpsons role as surprise love interest
Olivia Colman is known for being amazing in everything she does, and now she is adding one of TV's longest-running and celebrity-filled shows to her CV too.
The Simpsons producer James L Brooks confirmed the news in a tweet, writing: "Just this second came from recording one of the best guest appearances in [Simpsons] history.
"No kidding, I am flying. Olivia [Colman] playing the most down home femme fatal(e) ever who attracts every man she's ever met but falls hard, harder than she ever imagined, for Homer Simpson."
Sounds familiar to the Michelle Pfeiffer episode, but okay.

The show's upcoming season, its 31st overall, will also feature celebrity cameos from Bob Odenkirk, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, and Saturday Night Live's John Mulaney.
Game of Thrones and Aquaman star Jason Momoa will also make an appearance, with producer Al Jean stating: "He is the celebrity that shows up and talks about this legend of this saint who was ground up and martyred and became the origin of modern-day pistachio ice cream.
"He tells this very gruesome story – and then Patty and Selma want him to sign their boobs and he runs away."
