Simpsons strike, R. Kelly spike, Sienna hype
• The voice cast of The Simpsons is banding together and demanding somewhere in the neighborhood of $500,000 per episode each to work next season, Variety says. After all these years, they’ve finally taken a cue from Homer’s wacky get-rich-quick schemes.
• A juror in R. Kelly’s child pornography trial has already been replaced because she says she would be unable to pay her bills if she sat on the panel, the AP reports. She’s saving up for the next 15 installments of Trapped in the Closet.
• Brit lovebirds Sienna Miller and Rhys Ifans are already having troubles because Rhys is jealous of all the male-centric attention she gets, the Daily Mail says. This matters to us about as much as who wins that Lindsay Lohan lawsuit.
