Justin Bieber will be making his very own cameo on The Simpsons, Entertainment Weekly reports. The singer tweeted yesterday afternoon, "just did a voice over for the SIMPSONS!!! #swaggy," but later deleted the tweet. Simpsons executive producer Al Jean confirmed Bieber's guest spot, and revealed a tidbit about the storyline. "He tries to get into a talent show that Bart is playing piano in and they won't admit him," Jean said. But he also made clear the spot is just a cameo, so Beliebers shouldn't anticipate a Bieber-themed installment.

The episode has been titled "The Fabulous Faker Boy" and is set to air in 2013 as part of the upcoming 24th season of the The Simpsons, which begins September 30th on Fox. Other musical stars recently featured on the show include Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ted Nugent and David Byrne. Zooey Deschanel, Edward Norton, Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman are among guests slated for the upcoming season.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
