David Bowie to guest star on SpongeBob

According to The New York Post, pop legend David Bowie was recently in the city to record his role in a 'special' episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. He'll play Lord Royal Highness in the special episode, called Atlantis Square Pants. Bowie says he wanted to do the role because his daughter is a huge SpongeBob SquarePants fan. On his blog at DavidBowie.com, he says, "I've hit the Holy Grail of animation gigs." The episode won't air until next year.

Bowie also appeared in season 2 of Extras in Britain... his website says season 2 comes to American HBO on Sundays in January.
