Gwyneth Paltrow is in the building—McKinley High, to be exact.

We just got word that the Oscar-winner has started shooting her guest spot on Glee...

"We shot some stuff with her," said Harry Shum Jr., the awesome actor/dancer who plays Mike Chang on the hit series. We talked to him last night at the launch of Ubisoft video game Just Dance 2. "She's been great."

Shum was tightlipped about the storyline, but said "We kind of just showed up on set and were like, 'Oh, hi Gwyneth Paltrow.' She's really sweet, really classy. You look at someone who's an Oscar-winning actress and you think they're going to act a certain way and she's just a regular person."

Our own Kristin Dos Santos was the first to break the news that Paltrow would be joining the likes of Neil Patrick Harris, Britney Spears and Kristin Chenoweth as a Glee guest star.

Considering her recent jump into country music, we think it's safe to assume that Paltrow will be showing off her vocal chops on the show. Shum said, "I'd love for her to sing."

As for getting some onscreen romancing with Mr. Shuester (Matthew Morrison), Shum said, "You see her in Iron Man and she plays...the semi-love, semi-good friend [and] semi-boss. I think she can play it all."

Sing out, Gwynnie!
