Murphy Confirms Gwyneth Paltrow for GLEE

Last week, BroadwayWorld reported that Gwyneth Paltrow was currently in negotiations to guest on an upcoming episode of GLEE. Today, US Weekly reveals that GLEE creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed the news, stating: "Yes, it's true!...She is a fan of the show."

Paltrow may be singing and dancing into the role of Will Schuester's (played by Matthew Morrison) girlfriend.

As E!Online previously reported: "According to rock-solid Glee sources, Gwyneth would play a substitute teacher in two episodes airing in November. Mr. Schuester gets sick, so Gwyneth's character steps in and takes over the glee club. The kids love her, and Will starts to fall for her...complicating his relationship with Emma (Jayma Mays)."

Entering its sophomore season, GLEE is a biting musical comedy that has quickly become a pop-culture phenomenon. The highest-rated new scripted series of the season boasts critical acclaim, a loyal fan base of "GLEEks," two certified Gold albums, more than 10 million song downloads and an incredible 19 Emmy nominations - earning it the distinction of being the most-nominated series of the year. To top it off, the genre-defying, award-winning series has been picked up through its third season.

GLEE airs on FOX Tuesdays.
