NEW YORK - Marge Simpson is getting breast implants just in time for Thanksgiving.

In an upcoming episode of The Simpsons called "Large Marge," Bart's blue-haired mother is mistakenly given a breast augmentation when she goes into the hospital for liposuction on her stomach.

In the episode, scheduled to air Sunday, Nov. 24 (8 p.m.), it's revealed that the implants were actually meant for a younger patient, who turns out to be one of Mayor Quimby's escorts.

Marge decides to go under the knife for the liposuction when she gets jealous of all the younger women she mistakenly thinks her husband Homer is drooling over when he sees them on the street.

At first Marge wants the implants removed, but later decides she likes them because of all the attention she gets.

She soon becomes a fashion model and ends up flashing her breasts at the residents of Springfield -- giving an eyeful to a crowd including Krusty the Clown, Sideshow Bob and Police Chief Wiggum.

Marge's enhancement is one of the few known instances of a breast job on an animated prime-time show -- but not the first one on The Simpsons.

Several years ago, Krusty the Clown tried to have plastic surgery to change his identity, but ended getting a breast enlargement by mistake.

When he looks exactly the same after his plastic surgery, his doctor argues and says, "Plus I did your breasts," to which Krusty answers: "Does anyone hear me complaining about the breasts?"

Marge's new chest puts her on a list of celebs who are either rumored to have gotten or admit to cashing in on a new pair of surgically enhanced breasts, including Pam Anderson (who's since had them downsized), Demi Moore and Melanie Griffith.

Amanda Marsh, last season's winner of The Bachelor, admitted on the show that her ample bosom was the result of a pair of breast implants

And it's rumored that pop-tart Britney Spears has gotten implants -- a charge she has denied.

This is the 14th season of The Simpsons, which will celebrate its 300th episode in February.
