Janet Tapped For Super Bowl Halftime
Janet Jackson will perform on one of the world’s biggest stages, the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show. The National Football League championship football game is set to air Feb. 1 live on CBS from Houston’s Reliant Stadium.
MTV is producing the Super Bowl halftime show, which will be sponsored by America Online, for the second time. The network previously produced the segment in 2001, which featured Aerosmith, ‘N Sync and Britney Spears.
Last year’s halftime event, produced by Interscope Geffen A&M Records chairman Jimmy Iovine and Tenth Planet Productions director/producer Joel Gallen, saw Shania Twain, No Doubt and Sting perform at halftime. Celine Dion, Carlos Santana, Michelle Branch and BeyoncĂ all performed during pre-game festivities, while the Dixie Chicks were on hand to deliver the National Anthem.
Jackson is currently working on her next still-untitled album, which is due sometime in 2004 on Virgin Records. Her official Web site promises a world tour will follow.
