Gwyneth Paltrow and Uncle Jesse make their return and the Purple One has his musical debut on last night’s episode of Glee, tantalizingly titled “Sexy.” After Brittany has a pregnancy scare brought on by seeing a stork build a nest outside her window, Will realizes the kids in his glee club need some serious sexual education, to be delivered by everyone’s favorite substitute teacher, Holly Holiday (Paltrow).

He joins Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao – he claims to be a big fan – for a totally straight-faced rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine.” The bemusement on Pacquiao’s face as the two stumble along provides more laughs than camera-mugging ever could.

“This is a special night for lovers of music and for lovers in general,” Kimmel says. How right he is. Watch it below. Continue reading »
