The Oscar-winning actor -- best known for either playing a psychopath or heartthrob, depending on the person you ask -- will reportedly make an appearance on Glee next season. And while this could just be another rumor floating around the series -- OMG, Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele are totally dating -- since there are actually corresponding quotes from Bardem, it simply feels too insane to make up. Said Bardem to EW: "We’re going to rock the house [...] We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst." OK then!

Bardem's plot will dovetail with the wheelchair bound Artie (played by the non-wheelchair bound Kevin McHale) and will probably feature at least one ridiculous medallion and some leather pants. The story goes that the actor became a "Gleek" (a.k.a. a fan of the Fox series) after watching the first season in a single week and sought out his Eat Pray Love director -- and Glee creator -- Ryan Murphy to beg for a role. Our theory? Columbia Pictures -- and Murphy -- realized that the Julia Roberts-led Eat Pray Love was skewwing older in its tracking and needed to get under-25 girls to the theater. And what better way to do that here in 2010 than to be associated with Glee. Hey, it was either that or vampires...
