Black Eyed Peas to host Super Bowl bash

Black Eyed Peas are to host a star-studded Super Bowl party.

The 'I Gotta A Feeling' hitmakers - who are performing during the half-time interval at the NFL showpiece game in Arlington, Texas, on February 6 - have joined forces with Sports Illustrated magazine to put on the bash, which they have promised will be the hottest in town.

Singer Fergie - who is part owner of the Miami Dolphins - said: "As an NFL owner and a football fan, I cannot be more excited to join forces with Sports Illustrated for the hottest party of the season. It will be the kick-off to an amazing weekend in Dallas and we can't wait to get it started."

As well as Black Eyed Peas, other guests include singer David Guetta and Sports Illustrated models Christine Teigen, Anne V, Julie Henderson and Genevieve Morton.

The game - between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers -will attract a star-studded audience as well as one of the biggest TV audiences of the year.

While Black Eyed Peas will perform during the interval, earlier this week it was revealed Christina Aguilera had been given the prestigious task of singing the national anthem before the match.

In a statement released by the NFL, Christina said: "I have been performing the anthem since I was seven years old and I must say the Super Bowl is a dream come true. I am really excited to be part of such an iconic event."
