Hottest. Spanish teacher. Ever.

Glee is up and running again after the holiday break, and the proof is in the Twitter picture. Lea Michele got twitpic-happy as Ricky Martin filmed his guest role, and god bless her for it…

"So much fun on the set with Ricky!" the star tweeted along with the above photo. The whole gang is here! "He's seriously the sweetest and such a great fit for our show!" she gushed about the singer.

And we also learned that Michele and Martin go wayyy back. Like childhood-style. She tweeted: "I've known Ricky since I'm 8 years old! He was in Les Mis on Broadway with me in 1996! Crazy huh?!"

You might say it's "livin' la vida loca," right? Yes, that was a lame Ricky Martin joke. Just let it happen.

Martin will be guest starring on Glee as the gang's Spanish teacher, and yes, he'll be shaking his bon bon and singing.

Glee returns (hooray!) Jan. 17 on Fox with the big proposal episode, "Yes/No."

What do you make of this first look at Ricky Martin's guest role? And here's a dumb question: are you excited for Glee to come back?!
