‘The Simpsons' producer breaks silence on Marge Simpson's shocking death after fan backlash
D'oh! 'The Simpsons' executive producer Matt Selman has spoken out about the surprising decision to 'kill off' Marge Simpson during a flash-forward scene in the show's Season 36 finale. Although the decision caused major controversy within the hit cartoon's loyal fanbase, Selman slammed the backlash and claimed that it was 'ridiculous.' 5 'The Simpsons' executive producer Matt Selman has spoken out about the decision to 'kill off' Marge Simpson during a flash-forward scene in the show's Season 36 finale. The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images 'Obviously, since 'The Simpsons' future episodes are all speculative fantasies, they're all different every time,' he told Variety during an interview published on Thursday, June 26. 'Marge will probably never be dead ever again. The only place Marge is dead is in one future episode that aired six weeks ago,' Selman, 53, added. ''The Simpsons' doesn't even have canon!' The episode in question, titled 'Estranger Things' and which aired on May 18, focuses on siblings Bart and Lisa Simpson as they slowly grow apart after they stop watching 'The Itchy & Scratchy Show' together. 5 Selman slammed the backlash and claimed that it was 'ridiculous.' 20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett Collection After a 35-year time jump, the audience learns that Marge has died, Bart and Lisa are estranged, and Homer Simpson, the family's dad, is living in a retirement home. A short scene from Marge's funeral shows Homer in tears while the rest of the Simpsons family stands around him. At the end of the Season 36 finale, Marge watches from Heaven as Bart and Lisa save their dad from the retirement home and reconnect over a reboot of 'The Itchy & Scratchy Show.' 5 A short scene from Marge's funeral shows Homer in tears while the rest of the Simpsons family stands around him. The Simpsons/Disney+ 'I'm so happy my kids are close again,' the Simpsons family matriarch says. It is then revealed that Marge met and married Beatles superstar Ringo Starr while in Heaven. But viewers were not happy to learn that the show's creators 'killed off' Marge Simpson, and many took to social media to express their shock and outrage. 'I haven't even watched The Simpsons in 10+ years but they really killed MARGE?!' one person wrote on X after the episode aired. 5 At the end of the Season 36 finale, Marge watches from Heaven as Bart and Lisa reconnect over a reboot of 'The Itchy & Scratchy Show.' The Simpsons/Disney+ 'What's this I'm hearing they killed Marge Simpson off?' another fan added. 'Marge Simpson is dead?' a third critic commented. 'Utter woke nonsense!' Surprisingly, Selman welcomed the backlash and claimed that it was further proof that 'The Simpsons' and its beloved characters are still relevant after 36 years on TV. 5 Selman welcomed the backlash and claimed that it was further proof that 'The Simpsons' is still relevant after 36 years on TV.

'At the end of the day, it's probably good for business even when these ridiculous, misleading stories go viral!' 'The Simpsons,' which premiered on Fox in 1989, remains the longest-running animated show on television. Fox renewed the show, which has won 37 Emmys, for four more seasons in April.

Olivia Rodrigo at Glastonbury 2025: Livestream Her Headline Festival Set Free From Anywhere
Olivia Rodrigo makes her highly anticipated Glastonbury headline debut today, with the angsty pop star set to close out the festival's final day with a performance on the iconic Pyramid Stage. Below, we'll outline which live TV streaming service will be streaming Saturday's main headline show at Glastonbury, wherever you are in the world. We'll also explain how to use a VPN if you're outside of the UK. Known for blending raw emotion with punk energy, the Californian former Disney child star has become one of pop's biggest names thanks to hits like drivers license, good 4 U and vampire. While viewers can expect Rodrigo to perform a hit-packed set featuring fan favorites from her Sour and Guts albums, recent shows have also seen her pepper her set with an eclectic selection of covers. She performed Fontaines D.C.'s I Love You during her recent show in Dublin and teamed up with David Byrne for a version of the Talking Heads classic Burning Down the House at the Governors Ball festival in New York this month. A bigger surprise may be in store for her Glastonbury performance, however, after the singer delighted fans by performing a duet with unannounced special guest Ed Sheeran during her show at London's Hyde Park this week. The moment has sparked speculation that the pair may reprise the collaboration during Rodrigo's headline set today at Worthy Farm. Olivia Rodrigo is set to play the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Sunday, June 29, with the set expected to start no earlier than 9:45 p.m. BST in the UK. That makes it a 4:45 p.m. ET or 1:45 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, while for music fans in Australia the show is set to get underway at 6:45 a.m. AEST on Monday morning. Olivia Rodrigo first performed at Glastonbury on the festival's Other Stage in 2022. NickyLivestream Olivia Rodrigo at Glastonbury 2025 free in the UK The great news for music fans in the UK is that free-to-air broadcaster BBC is once again showing vast amounts of this year's festival live as well as on demand across its linear channels and its iPlayer online streaming service. Linear coverage will be split across all four BBC channels, with Sunday's Olivia Rodrigo performance set to be shown with a 15-minute delay on BBC 1 from 10 p.m. BST local time -- that's a 15-minute delay from when Olivia is expected on stage. To watch the set as it happens, you can stream a live feed from the Pyramid Stage via the online platform BBC iPlayer, which is offering continuous streams from the five main festival stages across the weekend. Pyramid Stage sets are available to watch in 4K on iPlayer, while the service will also offer catch-up on more than 90 on-demand sets for up to 30 days after broadcast. BBC BBC Watch Glastonbury 2025 in the UK free BBC iPlayer has dedicated apps available for Android and Apple mobile devices, as well as a vast array of smart TVs and streaming boxes. All you need is a valid UK TV license to stream the festival. See at BBC Olivia Rodrigo at Glastonbury 2025: Can I watch in the US, Canada and Australia? While last year's Pyramid Stage headline sets by Coldplay and Duo Lipa were livestreamed to a global audience by the BBC, this year's broadcasts from the festival are back to being geo‑restricted to UK viewers only. If you find yourself unable to view the festival locally, you may need a different way to watch the entertainment from Worthy Farm -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. How to watch Glastonbury 2025 online from anywhere using a VPN If you're traveling abroad and want to watch all the big name acts at Glastonbury while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. It can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial. James Martin/CNET ExpressVPN Best VPN for streaming Price $13 per month, $100 for the first 15 months (then $117 per year) or $140 for the first 28 months (then $150 per year) Latest Tests No DNS leaks detected, 18% speed loss in 2025 tests Network 3,000 plus servers in 105 countries Jurisdiction British Virgin Islands ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN that works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100, you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month. Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. 61% off with 2yr plan (+4 free months) See at Quick tips for streaming Glastonbury 2025 using a VPN
