Gwyneth Paltrow will guest star as a substitute teacher on next week’s episode of “Glee,” and to prove to the students that she’s “hip” and “with it” — and not, say, a snooty wannabe Brit born of successful Hollywood parents and raised in the lap of luxury on Manhattan’s Upper East Side — she breaks out and sings Cee-Lo’s “Forget You,” because nothing wins over high school kids like taking the swear words out of popular music.
Paltrow sings well enough, but the undeniable highlight of the video is at the 43-second mark, when she breaks out the Robot. It’s fantastically ridiculous. It’s like if Russell Crowe had done the stanky leg in character during A Beautiful Mind. “Guys, she knows the Robot! Let’s listen to what she has to say!”
While I work on a YouTube rip and an animated GIF, watch the video over at EW.

The millions of GloMos have apparently overwhelmed EW’s servers. Or it’s a bad link.
/Uh, not that I clicked on it or anything.
//Waits for post about Julie Bowen’s legs on last night’s Conan.
Her robot looks strong, but is it COUNTRY STRONG?
*adjusts leotard*
As a professional musician and retired dancer, I can say unequivocally that this shows lack of use of Heather Morris’s dancing skills and Lea Michele’s fine ass mouth is an abortion.
AND that song is to be sung by a man. That shit don’t make no sense when sung by some skinny ass white bitch.
This would’ve been 100x more entertaining if the chorus of cheerleaders sang the full response line “just thought you should know nigga” to Paltrow.
Oh and congratulations to the writers of the office who centered an entire episode of a show I used to love around their characters watching a show I hate. Can we replace the phrase “Jumped the shark” with “Watched Glee?”
As in, I used to really like _______ but after last nights episode I think they totally watched glee.

I want to grudge f*ck her into the middle class.
That cheerleader had better watch her fat mouth; saying things like, “What would you know about Cee-Lo, because you’re about forty?”
Pfffft, Dee Reynolds is a far superior substitute teacher, dickbags.
/wishes that Dave Foley was my principal
//watches juggalo take a shower
She is unbearable, her hypocrisy and arrogance ooze
GTFO of America!! Our uncouth and uncultured selves don’t want your exfoliated and emolliated ass!!!
Now I really want someone to remix Crowe’s delirium flip out in A Beautiful Mind set to the stanky leg.
