Gwyneth Paltrow: Sexy teacher on 'Glee'

There have been many celebrities who have graced the halls of William McKinley High as guest stars in hit US TV show Glee.

And among the most highly-anticipated celebrity performers on the programme includes Gwyneth Paltrow.

In a new clip from the episode, due to air in America on Tuesday night, the 38-year-old actress is seen wearing a sexy mini-kilt and black knee-high boots as she belts out Cee Lo's Forget You.

Paltrow plays substitute teacher Holly Holiday, who comes into the school when Matthew Morrison's character Will Schuester gets sick with 'monkey flu'.

Singing is something of a new foray for Paltrow, who also performed live at the Country Music Awards earlier this month to sing Country Strong, the title track from her upcoming movie.

And, as well as earning a standing ovation from the audience at the awards, Gwyneth's performance went down incredibly well with her Glee co-stars.

The show's creator Ryan Murphy said: 'She loved it, actually. She's just the best. She's the easiest, breeziest girl around - she's such a professional. She was so prepared, she worked so hard.'

American singer Cee Lo added he was 'flattered' to have had his hit track performed by an Oscar-winning actress on such a popular show.

He said: 'I really am just flattered that not only Glee [covered it, but it was Gwyneth singing.

'I didn't realize when we first did the clearances for it. I just thought that maybe it would be sung by the cast, but it turns out to be her. I'm like, "That's just, that's too awesome."

But while Gwyneth has wowed fans with her singing voice, she admits taking on a film role which required her to perform was daunting.

However, luckily for her, she was able to call on some of her more famous friends for advice.

Gwyneth said: 'I asked Faith Hill a lot of questions ... and Beyonce actually too. I studied Beyoncé a lot and her concerts for her kind of confidence.'

As well as performing Forget You, Gwyneth also sings a mash-up of Rihanna's Umbrella and Singin' In The Rain.

Jane Lynch, who plays cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester in the show, said: 'Gwyneth Paltrow is the substitute and the kids all start to love her, so there's kind of a rivalry between Sue and Gwyneth's character.

'She's got the goods. 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.

'They are singing and dancing their hearts out and Gwyneth is leading them. She's amazing.'

Mila Kunis: Black Swan Sexy

Mila Kunis looks stunning at the Black Swan closing night gala during AFI FEST 2010 at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday (November 11).

The 27-year-old actress wore a black silk crinkle chiffon and grosgrain bow dress from Oscar de la Renta.

Mila had to film a love scene with Natalie Portman for the film, which she found very difficult to do because of their friendship. “It is slightly uncomfortable to have to be intimate with a good friend. The scene’s important for the character, but we went in going, ‘This is going to be a little different,’ yeah,” she told Virgin Media.

“We shot everything both ways. Sometimes I would be the sweet one and Natalie would be the mean one, and then we’d flip it. At the end of the day it was all up to Darren [Afronsky]

Angelina Jolie talks about “extremely sexy” Brad Pitt in Vogue

Brad Pitt is “handsome,” said Angelina Jolie in an interview for the December issue of Vogue. She even says that he is the “extremely sexy”. And if some tabloids talked of a “strained” relationship between Brad and Angelina, the beautiful actress denied any rift between them. She is still madly in love with him.

“I think he’s an extremely sexy — extremely handsome and the most sexy … When I think about him, I just think of the man who’s such a great friend and such an extraordinary father. And that’s when I fall, you know, when I have my moments of getting caught up in how much I love him … it’s usually when I see him with the children,” she says.

Throughout the interview, Angelina also reveals some parts of their private lives, especially concerning their two adopted children, Pax, 6, and Maddox, 9.
The actress tells how she is trying to make the best breakfast in the world and receives daily compliments from her children, but she readily concedes that the kitchen is not really her strong point.

“I’m not the best cook,” Angelina reveals. “Pax is a better cook than me. Pax likes to cook. But I try to when I can. Any house that we’re in, we all chip in. But the kids are very sweet … so enthusiastic anytime I cook. Especially Maddox; he’s just this little man that’s very supportive of me — it’s like he’s raised me a bit. So I cooked them all breakfast before school this morning, and he has that kind of ‘Thanks, Mom! Good job!’”.

Regarding her charity work, Jolie commented, “My children are from the countries that I work in. I don’t see my family as a global family. I don’t see it separate. So when I look at my kids, and I wake up and hear something’s happening in Pakistan, I think: It’s Asians, and my children are from that part of the world. Those kids are very much like my kids. So I’m happy to be able to go.”

On her role in ‘Salt,’ originally meant for Tom Cruise: “I felt it was a weird thing that every time you ask for a strong female role, it’s written in this strange way where it uses sexuality far too much. Or it’s all about being a woman and beating a man. So it wasn’t a surprise to me that the only way to do a strong female role properly was to not have originally written for a woman.”

Nelly Furtado's secret to being sexy

Nelly Furtado isn't surprised people think she looks good because she's taken so many "sexy vitamins" in the past.

The Canadian singer is currently working on a new album, which will provisionally be released next year. The star is married to sound engineer Demacio 'Demo' Castellón and has seven-year-old Nevis from a previous relationship.

She is proud of her career and the way her life has panned out, especially when she thinks of how much was made of her appearance when she started out.

"It's kind of weird. I get it now that I look back and I go, 'Wow, I was pretty sexy.' I've definitely taken some sexy vitamins in the past! It's cool," she laughed.

"When I first started my career, I didn't like it because I was trying to establish myself as a serious musician before I was a sex symbol."

Nelly is 31, and loves being a young mother. She started wanting kids when she was 20, explaining she couldn't walk past a pregnant woman without feeling a tug in her chest.

Being a mum is the most important thing to Nelly, and she makes sure Nevis understands her job.

"She gets it. I've always explained my job to her," she told Stylist magazine. "Even when I would get ready I would say, 'This is mummy's uniform - I wear all this make-up so it sparkles from 100 meters away and you can see mummy on stage from the audience.'"

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010: A View From Backstage

Victoria’s Secret is guarded like a fortress. But a glimpse inside Manhattan’s Lexington Armory Wednesday morning offered a preview of the lingerie maker’s brightest night of the year.

Several hours before the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, 30 models sat in four rows, each draped in pink robes and flanked with stylists tending to their hair and makeup. Under the spotlight at one end of the room was an arrangement of “100% human hair” extensions, each marked with a model’s name. The day began around 8 a.m. and will carry well into the night after two performances and an afterparty at recently-opened Midtown club.

One model, South Africa’s Candice Swanepoel, could only offer a few details about her three outfits. “They’re all very different,” she said as a stylist arranged clips in her hair. “One is sexy but another is very cute.” Swanepoel is returning for her fourth straight show and says she’s excited about recently becoming a spokesmodel for the brand. In August, she hosted the opening of Victoria’s Secret’s first Canadian store in Edmonton.

The night will also include fresh faces. Katsia Damankova, who has been with Ford Models since 2006, continues to study journalism at a university in St. Petersburg, Russia. Damankova joined Victoria’s Secret earlier this year and will appear in her first show tonight. On her debut night, she says she’ll keep her mind on “the beauty and the great people.”
