An Academy Award-winning actor recently asked "Glee" showrunner if he could guest star in an episode next season, and the answer was a resounding yes, reports Michael Ausiello on his EW.com blog.

Oscar-winner Javier Bardem ("No Country for Old Men") is slated to appear on the next season of "Glee" as a rock star who becomes friends with Artie, according to the report.

Bardem approached "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy with the idea, the story says. The actor became a fan of the show after watching the entire first season in a single week. “We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst," Bardem told Ausiello.

Well, so much for that:

Despite rampant Internet rumors, Javier Bardem will NOT be guest-starring on "Glee" season 2, his rep told TV Guide today.

The Oscar-winning actor will still get his Ryan Murphy fix next month in the Julia Roberts vehicle Eat, Pray, Love in theaters Aug. 13. [TV Guide]
