Since we're all gonna watch it anyway.....this is what we're gonna see during halftime..

This is from www.superbowl.com

"New York (Dec. 18, 2003) -- MTV: Music Television, the NFL, and CBS Sports announced that mega-superstar Janet Jackson will be the featured performer during the AOL Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime Show. Super Bowl XXXVIII will be held on Feb. 1, 2004 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, and will air on CBS. The NFL selected MTV: Music Television to produce the AOL halftime show. CBS and MTV are both owned by Viacom Inc.

"With Janet set as a featured performer and more performers and surprise collaborations to follow, the stage has been to set to produce an event that the Super Bowl audience will remember for years to come," said Van Toffler, President, MTV/MTV2.

"There is no bigger spectacle than the Super Bowl," said Janet Jackson. "It's a unique and exciting experience that I have looked forward to for many years."

"The AOL Halftime Show is an important part of the Super Bowl and one of the most highly anticipated entertainment events of the year," said NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. "We are pleased that a star like Janet Jackson will join the roster of entertainers who have made the Super Bowl Halftime so special."

Janet Jackson is a multiple Grammy and MTV Award-winning performer, whose multi-platinum albums from "Control" to "All For You" have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. A peerless live performer, her 1990 "Rhythm Nation" tour remains the most successful debut concert tour in history. Among her multitude of honors is the inaugural MTVicon Award, which saluted her career achievements in 2001. She will release a new album in Spring 2004.

This marks the second time MTV: Music Television will produce a Super Bowl Halftime Show for the NFL. MTV produced the show for Super Bowl XXXV, which aired on CBS in 2001 when the Baltimore Ravens beat the New York Giants. More than 130 million Americans watched the game and halftime show, providing CBS one of the most-watched nights in network television history. The Super Bowl XXXV Halftime Show featured Aerosmith and *NSYNC along with special guests Britney Spears, Nelly and Mary J. Blige in front of 75,000 fans at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

The AOL Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show will be executive produced by Dave Sirulnick and Salli Frattini. Alex Coletti will serve as producer and Beth McCarthy-Miller will direct."

That sucks K-Bee... If it's a crappy game, it's always nice to laugh at the new commercials. Haven't seen Janet Jackson do anything in quite a while... I wonder if she'll have some people in the audience hold up signs supporting her brother. :p

Speaking of Janet...
She hasn't said anything publicly about her brother has she?
I watched Barbara Walters the other night and it was just his 2 older brothers defending him.
