Talk about corporate synergy: News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch could soon lend his voice to an episode of "The Simpsons." Matt Groening, creator and executive producer of the Fox Broadcasting Co.'s animated hit, says he's asked Murdoch to make a cameo voice appearance on an upcoming segment of the Twentieth Television-produced series. Groening says Murdoch would play himself but declined to give any further details about how the media baron would figure into the episode.
