LEA Michele is set for the highlight of her career — a duet with rocker Jon Bon Jovi.

Broadway World reports that the Glee actress will sing with the It’s My Life hitmaker in the star-studded, upcoming New Year’s Eve film.

In the movie, which will be released in theaters on December 9, Michele plays a backup singer for Bon Jovi’s character.

Lea recently revealed she is happy to be a role model for young girls and wants to show them that you don’t have to be “cool” to be successful in life.

“I’m really proud [to be a role model],” she said. “I don’t have any skeletons in my closet and I don’t feel like I’m pretending to be someone that I’m not. Yes, I work really hard and I’m determined like Rachel but I’m also a really happy, easy-going person.

“Plus, I’m proud of the choices I made growing up and want to show young girls that you don’t have to do what all the cool kids do in order to turn out OK in the real world.”
