Glee has landed one of its biggest names yet.

E! News has confirmed that Gwyneth Paltrow will appear on two episodes of the Fox hit this fall. The actress will sing and dance as the teacher who actually takes over New Directions for a bit when Mr. Schuester falls ill.

Look for Paltrow's characters to possibly serve as a love interest for Will when he returns from medical leave. Creator Ryan Murphy will even direct the actress' first episode.

Sound off now in our Glee forum: How excited are you about this addition?!?
