Amber Riley to bring some ‘Glee’ to All-Star game
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Amber Riley will bring her high school pep to the Major League Baseball All-Star game.
The “Glee” Starlet will sing a set of songs and the national anthem before Tuesday’s edition of the annual midsummer classic held this year at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., baseball officials announced Sunday.
The 24-year-old Riley plays young diva Mercedes Jones on the recently Emmy-nominated “Glee,” which chronicles the musical lives of a group of talented high school outcasts.
Both “Glee” and the All-Star game air on Fox-TV.
The Canadian Tenors will perform the Canadian national anthem before Tuesday’s game, and country-pop hit maker Colbie Caillat will sing God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch.
