Gwyneth Paltrow will deign to cover Cee Lo Green’s “F-ck You” on Glee

We’ve known for weeks about Gwyneth Paltrow’s visit to the television machine for peasants. Otherwise known as her guest appearance on Glee. She’s going to be on for two episodes, and it is unknown exactly who or what her character is going to be in the story line She’s going to be a substitute teacher, although from what I’ve seen of Glee, “story” isn’t what they’re selling. Anyway, Goopy is shilling her new movie, Country Strong, the film where she pretends to get loaded and twang it up like Britney Spears. She already deigned to sing “country” for a music video, and she’s going to perform the same “single” at the Country Music Awards next week (which should be delicious). Now Entertainment Weekly has a scoop on Goopy’s Glee appearance – specifically, what song she’s going to sing. Wait for it… Cee Lo Green’s hit single “F-ck You”. Or, in Glee-speak, “Forget You”. Ugh.

Gwyneth Paltrow will be singing Cee Lo Green’s “F— You” on Glee in two weeks, Fox confirmed. I maintain this is a better song for Mr. Schue, but I’m officially curious. Perhaps it will be country strong!

The song is going to be sanitized to “Forget You,” which is so substantially less catchy, and seeing the world’s poshest human sing about not being able to afford a Ferrari will provide some interesting cultural dissonance. But there’s a part of me that thinks this could be kind of adorable? If she is all sassy and campy about it? And it’s sort of joke-y? Hm.

[From Entertainment Weekly]

Have you heard “F-ck You”? It’s a great song. It’s soulful and funny and sassy. Would you use any of those words to describe Goopy? That being said, I bet Lea Michele is quaking in her boots with Goopy’s appearance. Lea Michele wishes she could bring Goopy’s level of snotty bitchery to the world. But, to give Lea a break, I will say this: Gwyneth has had decades to practice her snottiness. Lea seems new to the smug game.

Here’s Cee Lo’s song. NSFW language:

    I LOVE this song. And I swear if Gwyneth butchers it I…well…I wasn’t gonna see her crappy movie anyways. So.

  2. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    This should be interesting. I don’t watch Glee and even if I did, I would be sad to see a great song watered down in the dull sauce that is Glee with GP’s help.

  3. Happymom says:

    I love Glee-and I’m looking forward to Goopy gracing it with her presence. This is a great song-and a great video.

  4. Dorothy#1 says:

    *sigh* Not happy about this!

  5. Arianna says:

    no.

  6. annaloo says:

    She is still SO overrated, but she does bring the crowd.. even if most everyone in it is waiting for her to fall (which she never will)

  7. Mia Girl says:

    This is one of the best songs to come around in a very very long time and the spirit of this song is the antithesis of what Paltrow brings to the table. I need to erase from my memory banks that this is going to happen.

  8. sapphire says:

    Is she going to do her roots first?

  9. Ferguson. says:

    I loooooove Glee, and I love the song; not happy about the name change though… but whatever, it HAD to be done.

    And Goopy? I agree with annaloo, she’s so overrated but still wont disappoint her ‘people’.

    I LOVE that song!

    I actually have faith in Gwyneth. As much as we love to hate her and as much as she insults us, the little people, when has she ever dissapointed in the work?

    Im sure shell do a great acting job on the show and get an emmy out of it to make us bitch about her again later. Also she has a pretty good singing voice and it takes a LOT of guts to be performing live at the CMA when you have no musical experience.

    She never really fails at anything. Thats why we want to hate her.

  11. Obvious says:

    @gabs I don’t hate her for never failing, i applaud her for that. I hate her smug ass bitchiness and her view that SHE is QUEEN of the world.

  12. Mia Girl says:

    There is a God. Goopy & Glee were beat to the punch… William Shatner does “F**k You” on Lopez Tonight

    Another overrated actress. Looks and talent wise!

    MJ FOR HGF!

  14. Rachel says:

    I can’t wait to see this. I love me some GOOPY! I’m looking forward to seeing her sing next week at the Country Music Awards. I wonder how Taylor Swift will feel when Gwyneth, an actress, sings better than her in her own backyard?

  15. Hollowdoll says:

    NNOOOOOOOOO!!! WHY WHY WHY??!!

  16. Cat Burrito says:

    She tries so hard to show up and insert herself into anything that is really popular and hot. The annoying part is that she acts like she has been there the whole time waiting for everybody else to catch up.

  17. janie says:

    yes Burrito. that is what is so annoying about her. i remember she made some sort of comment along the lines of “i discovered SoHo NY.”
    Just like she went from being macrobiotic queen to gourmand as soon as popular opinion turned.

  18. RHONYC says:

    well, f*ck THAT! 🙁

  19. Kim says:

    I love this song! Never knew the real words were F you?!! I like forget you better. F you is justto harsh w this sort of campy song.

  20. Scarlet Vixen says:

    This role was actually written specifically for her by Ryan Murphy (I think they worked together on the movie “Running with Scissors”).

    I adore her. I have for like, 14 years.

  21. Henriette says:

    pretty girl with great personal style but HATE her with a passion.
