In case Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were somehow not washed up enough, Super Bowl XLII might be adding another ancient act to its musical show.

TV Guide is reporting that FOX is talking to insane American Idol judge Paula Abdul about performing on the telecast. Who cares that she hasn’t released an album of new material since 1995’s Head Over Heels?

Move over, Tom Brady and Tony Romo. Paula Abdul may be the star of this year’s Super Bowl.

With Tom Petty set to bore us at halftime, and Jordin Sparks singing the national anthem, it’s unclear when Abdul would go on. But it’s evident just what she’d be doing during her time back in the spotlight:

The former Laker Girl is in rehearsals for a video duet with Randy Jackson, the first single from his upcoming Music Club Vol. 1 CD. Paula would use this choreography as a basis for any Super Bowl routine.

Do you wanna see the American Idol judge dancing and singing again? Or might this lead to a performance that trumps Britney Spears at the Video Music Awards for sheer ineptitude?
