Glee creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed rumours that both Javier Bardem and Gwyneth Paltrow will guest star on the show.

Ryan, who recently directed Javier Bardem in new movie Eat Pray Love, said: "We're doing it. It's happening. We're shooting it in the Spring.

"I want him to play a rock'n'roll star who was Jane Lynch's first love and then he comes back and tries to woo her. I want him to be her ex-boyfriend."

He also confirmed that Gwyneth Paltrow will guest star in two episode which they are shooting in the next few weeks.

Rumours that Susan Boyle may also take part in the show are a possibility too.

"We talked about her doing the Christmas episode," Ryan said. "I still hope it's going to happen. We have a Christmas album coming out. She has a Christmas album. We're on the same label so we were trying to cross-pollinate that."
