Which Couple Gets Sex Counseling from Holly Holliday on Glee Next Week?

We’re less than a week away from the much-anticipated return of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Holly Holliday on Glee and Entertainment Weekly has some juicy scoop to reveal about Holly’s second stint at McKinley High.

They already broke the news that she would be subbing for the school’s sex ed teacher. But Holly’s sex-pertise will not be reserved solely for the classroom: Entertainment Weekly has learned exclusively that she will also be counseling one of the series’ major couples. Which one?


SPOILER ALERT! Newlyweds Emma (Jayma Mays) and Carl (John Stamos).”Holly ends up counseling them a little bit,” says star Matthew Morrison. “It turns out their sex life isn’t all that.” Adds Morrison, “At the same time, I find out the glee club is having a lot of sex and they’re not really informed as to what’s going on. Holly and I come up with an idea to teach them through song about the dangers of sex.”


Morrison adds that by the end of next week’s episode, there’s also potential for a Holly/Will romance. Says the actor, “By the end of the episode, we kind of get together. She has to leave again but there’s a possibility of a future between Will and Holly.”


In fact, Paltrow is currently shooting yet another episode of Glee, her third this season.

Glee Couples Status Report: What's in the Future for Your Favorites?

"Is there hope for Wemma?! What about Quick?!" E! Online'sTwitter feeds have been flooded with fans asking about Glee romances.

Don't worry, E! has heard Glee fans loud and clear, and went straight to the stars for the answers. Read on for the latest news on Glee's power couples—and new favorites Kurt and Blaine. Plus, who will spend Valentine's Day in...slow motion?

E! Online cornered the men of Glee (that's the kind of sacrifice they are willing to make for you fans) at the TCA press tour to get the goods on their television love lives, and they didn't hold back. For starters, Mr. Schue is pretty darn sick of feeling jealous over Carl (John Stamos), and now it's Emma's turn!

"Carl hasn't been back yet, but you know Gwyneth Paltrow is coming back and I think her and I are going to get a little loving going on," Matthew Morrison tells us. "So it'll be my chance to show Emma up a little bit. Make her a little jealous because she's been making me really jealous lately." Understandable. Stamos is kind of a dreamboat.

Remember when Quinn and Puck had a kid? Mark Salling does, and he thinks there still might be a chance for those two crazy kids to get together. "I wouldn't rule anything out," he says. "We don't know what going on until the week before when we get the script, so who knows?" We're sure Quick fans will hold onto that little string of hope like a lifeline, right?

And now, ladies and gentlemen, your teenage dream Darren Criss has a message for those desperate for Blaine and Kurt to get together. "There's going to be some fun things. Every day Chris (Colfer) and I are both equally curious to see what's going to happen between the two of those guys," he spills to E! Online. "We're definitely going to start seeing some layers to the two of them. The pink elephant in the room will finally be addressed, let's put it that way."

Speaking of pink, Glee has a Valentine's Day episode coming up! Kevin McHale is especially anxious for fans to see that one. "[Artie] is with Brittany [Heather Morris], and it's a very fun and cute episode," he tells us. "We get to do a lot of fun numbers. This number I get to do, I can't say [what it is] but I'm very, very excited to do it. There's slow motion! I love slow motion."

We wonder what the already slow Brittany is like in slow motion...does she just stand still? These are the important questions, Glee fans want to know.


The next new episode of Glee will premiere on Super Bowl Sunday, February 6th, right after the game on FOX. It's sure to be a "Thriller"!

Gwyneth Paltrow Returning to Glee for Two More Episodes

Gwyneth Paltrow is set to return to hit TV show Glee to romance Matthew Morrison's drama teacher Will Schuester.

The Oscar winner scored a ratings bonanza for the series when she appeared as substitute teacher Holly Holliday last year, and now Glee creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed she has agreed to come back for two more episodes.

He explains, "She's coming back specifically to date Will. Those two have become really good friends in real life and had really good chemistry. She's coming back as a sex education teacher.

"Gwyneth and I are emailing, talking every week: What are we gonna sing? We're trying to do something fantastic. She comes back in January and she's with us for three and a half weeks, I think."

And Murphy has revealed he's also using Lady Gaga's new song Born This Way as a major theme for an upcoming episode.

He tells Entetainment Weekly, "We're going to do a whole episode that's about that song."

Gwyneth Paltrow Considering Rock Of Ages Role

Gwyneth Paltrow has confirmed she's considering using her new-found singing skills to tackle a role in the upcoming movie adaptation of hit Broadway musical Rock Of Ages.

The show, which features songs from artists including Bon Jovi, Twisted Sister and Poison, is set for a cinematic make-over with Tom Cruise in talks to join the project.

Paltrow has now revealed she's also considering signing up, after proving her musical prowess in new movie Country Strong.

She tells Entertainment Weekly, "It sounds cool. I just got the script and I will read it on the plane home tomorrow. But it sounds like it could be fun."

Alec Baldwin is also reportedly in negotiations to join the cast, while producer Jenno Topping remains hopeful that Tom Cruise will make his involvement official: "(He is) in discussions. It's real. Although, it is not cemented."

More Glee for Gwyneth Paltrow

If you loved the sound of Gwyneth Paltrow on Glee, you're in luck because the actress will be back for more singing and dancing as substitute teacher Holly Holiday.

"I'm going to do one more," the Country Strong star tells Access Hollywood. "I signed up for two ... so I'm excited!"

Paltrow, whose character stepped in when glee club director Mr. Schuester came down with "monkey flu," says the whole experience of filming an episode of FOX's hit show was a blast.

"Just the incredible challenge of getting off a plane, going to record four songs immediately in one afternoon, and then having to learn all the dance numbers in like 20 minutes," she says of what she enjoyed about the stint. "I love Ryan Murphy. He's an old friend of mine and I was just in awe of everybody's talent and getting to work with Jane Lynch, and Matt Morrison is so adorable and all the kids – it was just great. It was really fun."

And the feeling is mutual. Paltrow, who performed the songs "Forget You," "Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag" and "Umbrella/Singing in the Rain" on an episode that aired in November, made quite an impression on Mark Salling and show creator Ryan Murphy, who told People magazine Paltrow is "just the best."

While Paltrow's daughter Apple, 6 ½, most definitely agrees with that assessment, she also took a liking to another Glee star.

"My kids came out [to the set] and my daughter fell in love with Heather [Morris] who plays Brittany," Paltrow says. "Whenever she sees a Glee thing she's like, 'It's Heather!' "

There's no word on when Paltrow's second episode will air.

Glee Creator: Gwyneth Paltrow Pulls Off 'Really Hard Dance Number'

In addition to dropping the 'F' word for her upcoming appearance on Glee, Gwyneth Paltrow pulls of a "really hard dance number," according to show creator Ryan Murphy.

"She had to sort of stamp around with Matt [Morrison] and the kids in a full tank of water for 12 hours," Murphy said at the 24th Annual Emery Awards in New York on Tuesday. "She loved it, actually. She's just the best."

Paltrow, who performed at Wednesday's CMA Awards, will sing a mash-up of "Singin' in the Rain" and Rihanna's hit "Umbrella" on the episode airing Tuesday at 8:00 pm (ET).

It didn't take much work for Murphy to convince his "good friend" Paltrow to show up at McKinley High. "I've always loved her when she sang. And I said, 'You should sing and dance, and show people what you can do,' " Murphy says. "She has a movie coming out in December, Country Strong, so she said, 'Oh, that might work.' "

And the actress had some special visitors on set – daughter Apple, 6, and son Moses, 4. "Her kids came and watched it. She had a ball," Murphy says. "She's the easiest, breeziest gal around, she's such a professional. She was so prepared, she worked so hard."

Jane Lynch: Sue Sylvester's Getting Married

No stranger to wedding bells herself, Jane Lynch's ever-scheming character on Glee, Sue Sylvester, is going to have a surprise wedding, the Emmy-winner said – who also reveals some other big moments coming to the show, including guest spots by Gwyneth Paltrow and Carol Burnett.

"Sue gets married – that's all I'm going to tell you," Lynch, who tied the knot with psychologist Laura Embry in June, said at the BAFTA/LA's Brittania Awards, where Betty White was honored.

"I probably shouldn't have said anything!," added Lynch, who would only say that the TV wedding will take place within the next three or four episodes – and it won't be a big musical blow-out.

Then there's Paltrow’s guest shot: "I did a couple of scenes with Gwyneth. She's got the goods," says Lynch, 50. "She can sing, she can dance. I really was [blown away]. I saw them doing a mash-up of 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'Umbrella,' and they are singing and dancing their hearts out, and Gwyneth is leading them. She's amazing."

As Lynch explained, "She's a substitute teacher for Will [Matthew Morrison]. Will gets the monkey flu and I expose him to it – I turn a sneezing kid on him so that he gets the monkey flu."

The upshot? "So Gwyneth Paltrow is the substitute, and the kids start to all love her. So there's kind of a rivalry between Schue and Gwyneth's character."

As for Sue's relationship with the new sub, "It's friendly – and then, of course, as with all relationships with Sue Sylvester, it turns antagonistic."

Her relationship with Burnett, when the comedy legend appears on the show, turns musical. Burnett will play Sue's Nazi-hunting mother. Says Lynch, an avid Burnett fan: "We sing '[Why, Oh Why, Did I Ever Leave] Ohio' from Wonderful Town, the 1950s musical."

10 'Glee' Spoilers Revealed by the Creator Himself

When it comes to must-see TV, Glee is no Lost. While Lost writers went to famously great lengths to keep the smallest of details leaking from the show, Glee creator Ryan Murphy and the rest of the show's cast have been downright forthcoming with revelations from future episodes.

Based solely on what Ryan and the cast have told the press, here are 10 spoilers from the show's second season that may or may not come as a surprise.

1. Rachel and Finn are staying together (All Season)

Ryan Murphy says he wants to give fans what they want on this one. He explains that "they're united" in season two and "every other scene they're telling each other how much they love each other and kissing inappropriately in the hall." He also likes seeing them as leaders in the Glee group, but warns they will be tested.

“The thing about that is that Rachel did not sleep with Jesse,” Ryan said. “She lied that she did, but she didn’t go through with it. Finn did [go through with it], but the whole point of that was for a guy to say ‘I wish I had waited,’ as opposed to “Yeah!!” That discussion will certainly come up because [Rachel] does not know that, but that’s a whole episode right there. … When she finds out, what will she do?”

2. Britney Spears will start a 'sex riot' (Episode 2)

Glee fans know that the Britney Spears tribute episode is coming up for the second episode, but it sounds like Britney's arrival will play on some surging teen hormones.

Hilariously vapid cheerleader Brittany (Heather Morris) will finally get her first solo. Based on pictures Britney Spears herself posted to Twitter, the two will be recreating Britney's girl-on-girl action with Madonna in the video for "Me Against the Music." While it hasn't been confirmed, this may set things in motion for Brittany to come out as lesbian.

Jane Lynch previously told TV Week of the Britney episode: "Sue Sylvester is of the opinion that Britney Spears is basically the anti-Christ. How does she put it? 'A pop-culture provocateur and responsible for every out-of-control impulse ever created.' So she fears that if Britney Spears' music is played, it will create a sex riot — and it does."

3. Paging Dr. Stamos (Episode 2)

John Stamos will join the show as Emma's love interest in the second episode. He's a dentist and when Will brings him in to talk to the kids about dental hygiene (but really to get a better look at him), The doctor finds the Glee kids have been lax with their teeth. He ends up administering the anesthetic that makes the Britney Spears dream sequences possible.

Get used to John. He'll be wrecking Mr. Schuester's chances with Emma all season as he plays the hunky dentist. It turns out he used to be in a boy band and as an added bonus, he'll likely be wearing a mullet wig in the flashbacks.

4. 'Glee' gets religion (Episode 3)

In the third episode, the show will follow Mercedes (Amber Riley) to church with Kurt tagging along in choir robes. The episode is said to address the issue of teens questioning their faith. Cory Monteith says he's very excited for Finn to sing "Losing My Religion," but more importantly Mercedes gets a real solo.

5. Kurt + Sam 4ever (All Season)

Ryan Murphy, Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel) and Jane Lynch have all confirmed that Kurt will find himself involved with a hunky new love interest in season two. Chord Overstreet made his debut as Sam Evans while singing "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" in the shower on Tuesday night. He's said he hasn't seen a script pairing him with Kurt yet, but on Tuesday he had a bawdy bit of innuendo foreshadowing things to come.

Puck (remarking on the size of Sam's mouth): "How many tennis balls can you fit in that thing?"
Sam: "I don’t know — I’ve never had balls in my mouth. Have you?"

Ryan Murphy revealed an even bigger spoiler over the summer at Comic-Con: "I want [Kurt] to have a boyfriend and for them to be prom king and king. I think that’s something important to put out into the world."

6. There will be a Rocky Horror Picture Show tribute (Episode 5)

Ryan Murphy has confirmed that he'll be directing the season's fifth episode, a Halloween episode paying tribute to the campiest of campy musicals, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Says Ryan: "My favorite thing to do is to torture the boys and claim that I don’t know who’s wearing those gold lamé briefs because now they’re all on diets and are all in terror that I’m going to be the one to tell them that they’re the one to do it."

And yes, they will definitely do the "Time Warp."

7. Terri will make Will's life Hell

We haven't seen the end of Will's fiendish ex, Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig). Ryan Murphy says she'll be back to terrorize her estranged husband in the second season.

“We love writing for [Terri],” Ryan said. “I think what she needs to do is date somebody who would make Will puke green with jealousy. She needs to figure out who that person is – it’s not the school principal, for one. We’re making a very narrow list of candidates.”

8. Kristin Chenoweth is coming back... as a stripper

In the first season, Kristin Chenoweth played April Rhodes, a drunk with a heart of gold and the voice of an angel. This season she's confirmed to E! Online that April will be back, and she'll be trying to make ends meet by any means possible.

"I'm going back in two weeks to do Glee. I did hear April will be stripping and it made me nervous—made me not want to eat." Just don't expect any smooth moves on the stripper pole. Says Kristin: "I'm not going to practice it either because I don't think April would know how!"

9. Gwyneth Paltrow will sub for Mr. Schuester

Ryan Murphy has confirmed that Gwyneth Paltrow will be playing a teacher substituting for Mr. Schuester in two upcoming episodes. No word on whether or not she'll do any rap, but she can definitely sing.

"Gwyneth is a great singer. She's done it a little bit but I really want to show it off and show everyone how great she is," he said.

10. Javier Bardem will play a Spanish rock 'n' roll singer

According to Ryan, he found out Javier Bardem is a big fan of the show while the two were working together on Eat, Pray, Love. While Javier's guest spot has been reported and un-reported a couple of times so far, Ryan makes it sound like it's going to happen. And it turns out the whole thing was Javier's idea.

"Let me set the record straight - I didn't have to convince him, he begged!" Ryan said. "He loves the show and wants to play a crazy Spanish rock and roll singer so I'm going to do that."

Gwyneth Helps Madonna Decorate Mercy's New Room

After much drawn-out anticipation and drama, Madonna's adoption of Malawian four-year-old Mercy is complete. And what better way to welcome her to the US than with a luxurious new pad designed by Gwyneth Paltrow herself?

If you're keeping up with GOOP.com, you'll know that Gwyneth considers herself the ultimate lifestyle guru -- and apparently that includes decor. A source tells The Sun:

Madge wants Mercy to feel like a little princess when she arrives.

Gwyneth has a home in the Hamptons area of New York and Madonna was so impressed with her daughter Apple's room that she asked Gwyneth to help her kit out Mercy’s new bedroom. As well as all the items inside, she’s also commissioned a mini Georgian-style treehouse for Mercy and David in her garden.

She’s been filling Mercy’s wardrobe at the same time. She’s stocked up on cashmere sweaters, dresses and silk tunics and has had a new charm bracelet made for her. It features a miniature bell, a Statue of Liberty, a map of Africa and lockets with photos of everyone in her new family. The arrival is going to be quite a treat for little Mercy, who will soon be able to call Madonna's $30 million New York townhouse home. Gwyneth's going to add porcelain dolls, antique teddy bears and a library of leather-bound children’s books and ancient maps of Africa to Mercy's room.

Bottom line: Mercy just became the luckiest little kid in the country.
