Beyonce confirms she will headline Super Bowl halftime show

(Reuters) - Pop superstar Beyonce on Tuesday confirmed that she will headline the entertainment at next year's Super Bowl, posting a photo of herself with the words Feb 3, 2013 inked on her cheeks.

Super Bowl organizers also posted the photo news on their official Twitter account, with the words "Beyonce will perform @pepsi #SB47 Halftime Show in New Orleans. February 3 2013 on @cbs."

In an entry on her official website, www.beyonce.com, the Grammy-winning singer used the caption "countdown to touchdown" to acknowledge an earlier report that she would sing during the biggest U.S. sporting and television event of the year.

The annual NFL championship attracts more than 100 million TV viewers and high profile pop acts for its halftime show. Previous performers have included Madonna, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Paul McCartney. ...

1. Bleh.

Another garbage halftime show. No real surprise.

Prince will forever be the best of the lot.

2. Now THAT is important!

Sorry but with the fate of this country hanging in the balance, I don't care who headlines the Superbowl halftime show. They usually suck anyway.

4. Dang, I'm out of it....

This will be the 2nd year in a row that I have never heard any material from the Headliner at SB.

At last year's SB party, there we about 40 of us all around 60 years of age. I was the only one there who had never heard Madonna "sing".

Still haven't either. I went out to the vineyard and smoked and drank.
