Beyonce was on a mission today to PROVE she can sing the national anthem like a pro – belting out a LIVE version of "The Star-Spangled Banner” moments ago on TV … without the help of a backing track ... and she KILLED IT.

Beyonce was at the news conference for her upcoming Super Bowl halftime show when she launched into the impromptu performance -- and when she finished the song, she simply said, “Any questions?”

During the conference, Bey was asked about the lip-syncing situation at the Presidential Inauguration last week, and she admitted she used a backing track -- claiming, "I am a perfectionist ... I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra [at the Inauguration]. It was a live television show and a very important moment for me."

Beyonce added, "Due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check, I did not feel comfortable taking the risk … so I decided to sing along with my pre-recorded track, which is very common in the music industry. And I’m very proud of my performance."

A reporter then asked Beyonce if she planned to sing live at the Super Bowl, and she replied vaguely, "I always sing live" ... but she didn't say whether she planned to use a backing track as well.

Game's over bitches -- TMZ has already found the most beautiful two people attending the Super Bowl this weekend ... and you'll NEVER guess who they are.

Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker and his country singer fiancee Jessie James touched down last night in New Orleans, where they'll be staying to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday.

Decker's not playing -- obviously -- but that won't stop him and his girl from COMPLETELY OVERSHADOWING every other hot couple expected at the big game ... a list that includes tons of other NFL players, Victoria's Secret models, Hollywood actors, actresses, you name it.

Kim Kardashian's unborn kid is proving to be a big star ... as the growing fetus made a splash by bulging out of her belly on Wednesday.

With her lovely girls also on display and busting through her sheer tank, Kim and her baby bump went for a late prenatal workout in L.A. last night.

"Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa -- who also played Conan the Barbarian in the 2011 remake -- is finally revealing how he maintains his insane physique ... sexercise.

Momoa -- who recently chopped his trademark locks -- was out in NYC last night when we started talkin' gym habits ... specifically, how do you stay in shape ... CrossFit? Pilates?

"I f*ck a lot" ... Momoa said.

Seems like it's working ...

It took just four weeks, but Katherine Webb -- and all her gorgeousness -- have made it to the Super Bowl.

After a meteoric rise to fame after Brent Musburger famously gushed all over her at the BCS Championship game earlier this month, the 23-year-old Miss Alabama USA 2012 made her big game debut covering Super Bowl media day for "Inside Edition" in New Orleans on Tuesday.

Here's Lindsay Lohan's new lawyer Mark Heller outside court in L.A. on Wednesday -- and Joe Pesci as Vinny Gambini in the 1992 movie "My Cousin Vinny."

They're both classic characters.

We're just sayin'.

Believe it or not, there is something in even more dire straits than Lindsay Lohan's legal woes ... her career transcontinental travel outfit.

Rockin' the Scarecrow's hat, a gorilla-sleeved leather jacket and a matching pair of ill-fitting leather MC Hammer harem pants, Lindsay made her desperate way from JFK to LAX on Tuesday night.

On a positive note, what we can see of her ginger weave and bronzed face looks pretty good.

While it is unclear how the judge will rule in her court case today, the verdict Lindsay should most fear is from the fashion police.

For once, Paris Hilton let her younger model boyfriend River Viiperi take center stage ... when he walked in a fashion show in Barcelona on Monday.

The 31-year-old socialite enjoyed the view as her 21-year-old Spanish catwalker strutted his stuff on the runway for the clothing brand Mango.

From the looks of it, their relationship has legs.

Taking a cue from The Situation ('memba him?), 18-year-old teen pop star Justin Bieber flashed his wannabe tough guy ripped abs to photographers in Miami on Monday.

This is what happens when you spend so much time in the gym.

File this under things Hulk Hogan probably shouldn't have done -- publicly brag about his own daughter's sexy legs ... complete with the photographic evidence to back up his creepy opinion.

Hulk posted the photo of 24-year-old Brooke Hogan for his nearly 500,000 Twitter followers yesterday -- along with the caption, "Brooke's legs" -- which is kinda weird ... since ... you know ... HE'S HER DAD.

Here's "Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco at the SAG awards last night -- and Kim Zolciak as she appeared on an episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta."

One is known for wiggin' out.

We're just sayin'.

Helena Bonham Carter has never looked better.

Here's the 20-year-old "Harry Potter" star back in 1987 (left) -- and 26 years later, the eclectic 46-year-old in London this week (right).

She's anything but les miserables.

Neo-grunge hipsters Emile Hirsch and Shia LaBeouf partied like it's 1992 at the Sundance Film Festival the other day.

Question is ...

The "American Idol" contestant who was seriously injured in an accident 3 DAYS before her audition is finally back on her feet ... and off the crutches ... after undergoing 3 OPERATIONS to fix her busted leg ... TMZ has learned.

In case you missed it ... Megan Miller -- aka Miss Baton Rouge -- scored a golden ticket to Hollywood ... after blowing off a doctor-recommended surgery to treat an infection.

TMZ spoke with Miller ... who tells us she went straight to the surgeon after her audition ... and had to spend a week in the hospital to recover.

Now, Miller says her leg's all healed up ... and she's focusing all of her attention on prepping for Hollywood week.

As for whether the injury will affect her ability to compete, Megan says she's not worried ... "Unless they make us do a marathon."
