Jackson's Super Bowl Surprise

MICHAEL JACKSON will make a surprise comeback at the American Football Super Bowl this weekend in TV advertisements to promote the 25th anniversary of THRILLER. The star is to be honoured in a Pepsi commercial, based on the ghoulish Thriller video, which will air during the showdown game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants on Sunday (03Feb08). The move is a marketing ploy to promote a special anniversary version of the album - and will be followed by a "major TV, radio, online and outdoor advertising campaign", reports the New York Post. Jackson is also rumoured to be among the stars appearing at the Grammy Awards on 10 February (08) alongside Akon, will.i.am and Fergie.

Here at spotbowl.com, we're thinking the Jackson boy wonder would have been better cast as the Scarecrow in the Batman trailer that'll be airing during the game. With a cameo from Bubbles as the Riddler. Drop by spotbowl.com for the latest spot gossip, and behind-the-scenes exclusives on this year's Super Spot line-up.
