Film and lesbian icon Jodie Foster will be featured on The Simpsons in early 2009 as the voice of Maggie, the youngest and most reticent member of Springfield's famously dysfunctional family, according to
Entertainment Weekly.
How cool is that?
2. I don't often rec stories but everyone has to go read
United States of Hysteria, Part I by
trinityofone over at
catenip (a comm set-up to celebrate
sheafrotherdon's birthday). I'm awful at summaries so I'll use trin's comment of "This is totally the AU where McCain wins, isn't it? Let us pray it remains fictional! Well, aside from the John and Rodney falling in love bit. That can spill over into EVERY universe!" which I think sums it up nicely. Go READ! Cate also put together an easy index of all posts on catenip
here.)
