  Recent observations and theories suggest that extreme horizontal branch (EHB)
stars and their progeny should be the cause of the UV excess seen in the
spectra of many elliptical galaxies. Since the Galactic Bulge is the closest
representation of an old, metal-rich spheroid in which we are able to study the
EHB scenario in detail, we obtained spectra of bulge EHB star candidates and we
confirm their status as hot evolved stars. It is the first time that such stars
are unambiguously identified in the Galactic Bulge.
