Kiefer Sutherland, Natalie Portman and The White Stripes are the latest stars to have cameos in The Simpsons.
The Wedding Singer actor Jon Lovitz and former Monty Python star Eric Idle will also lend their voices to characters in the 18th season of the hit animated show which will air in the US from September 10.
US rockers The White Stripes, fronted by Jack White, will play themselves in an episode where Bart organizes a benefit concert to raise funds for himself after he is mauled by a tiger his sister Lisa rescued from an animal shelter.
24 actor Sutherland will play a hard-nosed colonel who puts Homer through his paces when he ends up in basic military training.
Meanwhile, bosses want British comedian Ricky Gervais to star in a second episode of the show after his first appearance was such a huge success.
The 44-year-old comic star - who is a huge fan of the programme - impressed the producers when an episode he wrote drew the biggest ratings of the year.
