ANAHEIM, Calif., July 12 (UPI) -- "Glee" star Amber Riley will perform during the pre-game ceremony at the 2010 All-Star Game in Anaheim, Calif., Major League Baseball said Monday.

The pre-game festivities honoring People magazine's 30 "All-Stars Among Us" will take place before Tuesday's game at Angel Stadium. It will be broadcast on FOX beginning at 5 p.m. PDT, 8 p.m. EDT.

Appearances are expected by Ben Affleck, Sheryl Crow, Harrison Ford, Salma Hayek, Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts and Charlize Theron in a special video tribute celebrating the men and women being recognized by Major League Baseball and People magazine for their selfless acts of giving and service to their communities.

Riley also is to sing the U.S. national anthem before the first pitch is thrown. The Canadian anthem will be performed by the Canadian Tenors.

Later in the game, singer/songwriter sensation Colbie Caillat will perform "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch, MLB said.
