      *Should Bart Simpson be added to the prosecution’s list of witnesses? According to "The Simpsons" creator Sam Simon, the King of Pop had a “moment” with the animated character while recording a guest appearance on the show. 

       Simon told Howard Stern's radio show last week that Jackson - who voiced a hospital patient with a shaved head in the episode - demanded the script be changed so his character could spend more time with Bart. So Simon gave Jackson a scene where he spends the night alone with Bart in his room.

       Simon added that during the voice recording, someone gave Jackson a giant Bart Simpson doll — and that when he thought no one was looking, Jackson started kissing it.

      *Meanwhile, back at the trial, Jackson’s lawyers were given permission Friday to question witnesses about allegations that the boy accusing the singer of molestation once claimed comedian George Lopez stole $300 from his wallet.

      Previous efforts from the defense to raise the matter have been blocked by objections that Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville has upheld. After reviewing reports about the incident, Melville said Friday he would allow questions about it.

      Lopez was one of several comedians who tried to help the boy's family as the boy battled cancer.

      The judge also set a March 28 date for a hearing on the prosecution request to allow evidence of alleged prior offenses into Jackson's trial. Jackson has never been convicted of a sexual offense, but prosecutors want to present witnesses they believe will show that the current case is part of a pattern.

      Jackson, 46, is charged with molesting a 13-year-old cancer patient at Neverland in 2003. No testimony was heard Friday; it will resume on Monday.
