Gwyneth Paltrow talks about playing a substitute teacher on tonight's episode of GLEE, that Holly is the kind of teacher that just wants the kids to like her, what rehearsing for Singin' In the Rain/Umbrella was like, shooting the number, working with the kids and what her biggest challenge was.

On GLEE's "The Substitute" Season 2 Episode 7 - When Mr. Schuester gets sick, a substitute teacher (guest star Paltrow) takes over his Spanish class and the glee club, and winds up winning over the whole New Directions clan. Meanwhile, when Sue fills in for Principal Figgins as McKinley's top dog, she tries to flex her power on campus in the all-new "The Substitute" episode of GLEE airing Tuesday, Nov. 16 (8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

GLEE made its triumphant return to prime time with an astounding 12.3 million viewers tuning in to the Season 2 premiere. The anticipation and excitement for GLEE music reached new heights with over 250,000 new tracks downloaded in the first 48 hours available. This incredible response yielded more record breaking moments for GLEE; it's the first time all singles from any episode simultaneously appeared in the top 10 of iTunes Top Songs chart. Additionally, the GLEE cast version of Jay-Z's anthem "Empire State of Mind" has the single highest first day sales for any GLEE track released to date.
