Glee has booked another major name.
On the heels of John Stamos recurring this season, as well as Britney Spears making a cameo, the Fox smash has announced that Gwyneth Paltrow will come aboard for a two episode stint. What role will the actress play?
Look for Matthew Morrison’s Will Schuester to fall ill and take an absence, giving Paltrow’s character a chance to come in and actually lead the singing group for a bit.
While the role may seem random, closer inspection proves that it’s anything but:
Paltrow is married to musician Chris Martin and stars this December in Country Song. She’ll play an aspiring singer and the role is already garnering the star Academy Award buzz.
As for Glee: season two premieres tomorrow night. Our friends at TV Fanatic will keep track of the latest Glee music heard and covered on this comedy all year long!
