Russell Brand confirms Simpsons role

British comedian Russell Brand has confirmed that he has landed a cameo role in the TV show 'The Simpsons'. 

"It's true I'm going to be in 'The Simpsons'," he gushed. "I was having an amazing birthday party and found out I was going into space. Then my agent says, 'Oh, The Simpsons want you in an episode'. Once you've gone yellow, you've made it. My ideal show would be where I have a cartoon relapse with Barney and Homer and get smashed out of my mind with them."
