According to Deadline.com, several big GLEE announcements were made at PaleyFest last night. Ryan Murphy revealed that GLEE favorite Gwyneth Paltrow will definitely return as Holly Holiday for at least a third episode this season. He commented, "Gwyneth is sort of the muse of the show. She's somebody who I write on the weekends and say, ‘What do you think about this for an episode even if you're not in it?' She has opinions. She's great."
In other news, an upcoming episode will focus around Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumors' album in the near future. Aditionally, Murphy confirmed that in Kristin Chenoweth's return to the show this season she'll be singing a GLEE original, 'It's 10 am, I'm Drunk.'
