Javier Bardem Joins Glee As Metal Rocker

If you have an Oscar, you probably don't have to wait in the long audition lines to be on Glee. Case in point: Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem, who, after watching the entire first season of the Fox series in a week, pitched Ryan Murphy the role of a successful rocker who becomes friends with Artie (Kevin McHale). "We're going to rock the house," anticipated Bardem. "We're going to do some heavy metal -- Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst." The No Country for Old Men star just worked with Glee creator Murphy on the set of Eat, Pray, Love. [EW]
