Lea Michele will sing "America the Beautiful" before Super Bowl XLV on Feb. 6, joining pregame festivities set to star Christina Aguilera belting the national anthem.

The small-screen diva's Super Bowl appearance, first reported by E! News, will be bookended after the game by a special episode of "Glee" featuring a remake of Michael Jackson's "Thriller."

"The whole episode is big," costar Dianna Agron told Parade.

"There are really big dance numbers and pyrotechnics and zombies and fog. And a lot of Jane Lynch, which is always good."

Any thoughts on this year's Super Bowl entertainment lineup, which has the Black Eyed Peas on tap for halftime, in addition to Michele and Aguilera before the game?
