Revealing moment steals Super Bowl halftime show.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)

HOUSTON _ Super Bowl entertainment is more about the spectacle than the music. With a stadium audience of screaming sports fans, you need to be big to be noticed at all.

This year's show was big, with parachutists descending from the rafters before the game even started.

The week's biggest rumor: Would Michael Jackson join his sister Janet for halftime at Reliant Stadium?

Big brother didn't make it. But Janet's suggestive duet with Justin Timberlake will surely get lots of attention _ and rewound in VCRs and DVDs all week.

Timberlake pulled off part of her dominatrix meets Prince Valiant chain-mail outfit, revealing her breast. It's not the kind of climax I look for in a song.

Jackson's early cameo to sing, but mostly dance, to "All for You" featured female dancers wearing more than some of the bare-chested men. She later rose from the middle of the stage for an elaborate "Rhythm Nation" production number. The crowd cheered Kid Rock's red, white and blue attire, though I preferred the Julius Peppers jersey P. Diddy stripped down to. Nelly got "Hot in Herre," traded a few lines in a P. Diddy duet and cleared the stage for more Janet.
