‘Simpsons’ exclusive video: Katy Perry as Moe’s girlfriend? Homer as a puppet? Check out clips from Sunday’s Christmas episode!

Image Credit: FoxThe Simpsons would like to wish you a very Perry Christmas: The animated Fox comedy’s holiday episode on Dec. 5 includes a special live-action segment that features pop star Katy Perry hamming it up with Simpsons characters that have been transformed into puppets. Can’t wait until Sunday to get a peek at Perry and the puppets? You may open this present early: Two exclusive clips from the episode! But first, let’s hear about the plot that brings Perry into the world of Homer & Co. “Maggie has a Muppet-type DVD that no one will let her watch, so she has this puppet dream with the Simpsons, and Katy Perry shows up the way Elton John would on The Muppet Show,” Simpsons executive producer Al Jean tells EW. Clad in a flashy red dress that would have stressed out the folks at Sesame Street, Perry sings “The 39 Days of Christmas” with the Simpsons, Mr. Burns, and Moe, who, believe it or not, is her boyfriend. “Moe can’t actually reach her — he’s too short — so there’s a slightly risqué joke at the end of the show,” hints Jean. “Don’t tune out during the credits.” The episode, which is titled “The Fight Before Christmas,” also boasts an appearance by (an animated) Martha Stewart.

Frasier star Kelsey Grammer's girlfriend Kayte Walsh has suffered a miscarriage.

The 29-year-old former air hostess lost the baby six weeks ago, MailOnline can confirm.

They confirmed the sad news by releasing a joint statement, thanking people for their condolences and saying they need time to 'heal'.

'We lost our unborn child about six weeks ago,' the short statement said.

'We would like to thank all of those who expressed kindness and concern but we needed a little time to heal, time to find some solace before we publicly acknowledged our loss.'

The Daily Mail broke the story back in August that Grammer, 55, and Walsh, 29, were expecting a baby together.

And the couple confirmed the reports a few weeks afterwards.

Kate's father, Alan Walsh, told the Daily Mail how happy he was about his daughter's new relationship.

The 53-year-old Bristol City coach said ‘It’s great news and we are very pleased for them both.

‘I don’t know how long they have been together and I have not met him yet, but I’m looking forward to it. We just found out about her pregnancy a couple of days ago.

‘I think they met in New York socially because she works for Virgin Airways and often stops over in America.

‘The main thing is for them both to be happy and they are – they have just hit it off together.’

The Frasier actor  publicly voiced his happiness with his new lady and their prospective future in September, at The Romantics film premiere in New York.

He said: 'We are really happy and in love.

'We're looking for new apartment together in New York but we haven't found a place yet. We're waiting for the perfect place.'

And he told TMZ that he was 'very, very happy' about impending fatherhood and that 'a wedding with Walsh 'makes sense, but I have some other stuff I have to clear up first'.

Grammer and his estranged wife, former Playboy model Camille Donatacci have two daughters together, Mason, 8, and Jude, 5. She filed for divorce from him earlier this year.

Grammer also has two older daughters, Spencer, and Greer, from previous relationships.
