Here is an exclusive look at the highest-profile guest star on Glee so far this season, Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow, who will play substitute teacher Holly Holliday on several episodes beginning Nov. 16. Here she is performing Singing in the Rain with Glee co-stars Amber Riley and Heather Morris. (Paltrow is also set to perform a PG version of Cee-Lo’s F**k You aka Forget You.) A video of her singing on the show won’t be available until sometime next week, so below the photo is the video for Paltrow’s country singing debut, Country Strong, from her upcoming movie of the same name.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

Sorry BUT Britney is WAY more high profile than Gwyneth.. Glee’s audience doesn’t even know who Gwyneth is..
I’m not a fan of Gwynnie or this stunt casting but if you’re implying that Glee has a young fan base, most of them know who she is…she’s the chick from the “Iron Man” movies…
Not sure which is worse. That Glee has gone from touching & original to pure promo-for-hire or that Paltrow is going Heidi Montag.
GLEE does not need Goop. Goop definitely needs GLEE. When the equation balance is so off, shark jumping follows.
Remember when Glee used to be good. The songs used to actually service the story. Now, the paper thin plots are just a poorly contrived excuse for them to put on Broadway musical numbers that the majority of America do not know or care about (every cast member needs to see a dentist so they can inhale laughing gas so they can have a dance number with Britney Spears, come on!). And, every single story is about the gay kid and how hard it is to be gay in high school. “Dad, you just don’t understand what it’s like!” They must’ve reused that line or some variation of it in like 5 of the last 7 episodes. I want the old Glee back.
Really? Reallllllllllly???
Gwyneth Paltrow is that insufferably patronizing, smug, self-satisfied shrew who lacks even the tiniest speck of self-awareness to maybe make it endearing.
Agree that the show runners ought to just have Paltrow just do a number where she jumps over a shark.
Season1Gleefan above is completely correct. What happened to the storyline from last season? I can’t even figure out what’s happening to half the characters. Does Quinn still not live with her father? Will we ever meet Rachel’s parents? What ever happened with Ken Tanaka? Where’s Sandy Ryerson?
Be careful show runners – you might be raising ratings in the short term but might turn Glee from a long running franchise into a short term hit.
Jamie, the show’s actually answered most of your questions. Quinn’s mom announced she’d left Quinn’s father in the finale last season and said she could move back home. Rachel’s parents? Maybe we’ll meet them, but they’re not necessarily essential to the show. (Other than Finn, Quinn, and Kurt, we haven’t met anyone’s parents.) Tanaka left, that’s why they hired Coach Bieste. Sandy Ryerson’s still around, but neither a major character or that important, so we haven’t seen him.
Doesn’t seem right to blame the showrunners when it seems you just haven’t been paying attention. And honestly, the first season had plenty of ridiculous storylines, and the songs were the best part, even back then. At least they give people other than Rachel and Finn (the weakest male singer, let’s be honest) solos now.
Still don’t know why Gywneth is a guest star, though. Britney at least made sense.
This fictional school must have the best funded glee club program in the country.
Country Strong? This is a joke, right? When did Gwennie ever go to the heartland of America except on a location shoot. She hates America. As for her singing talent, 50% of the rejects every year on American Idol can sing that song more convincingly than she does.
So okay by watching the vid, a country girl with amazing talent and a wonderful guy on the side, instantly becomes a huge hit in the business, takes too many drugs, her mascara runs, she sleeps with the wrong dude, everyone shakes their head to see such mega-talent go to waste, she has an epiphany and makes a comeback to unbelievable accolades. And marries the 2nd grade teacher who has ceased to embarrass her with his disgusting proleness.
Okay-dokey. Another homerun by Hollywood.
