As host of the Super Bowl pre-game events, Ryan Seacrest - yes, Ryan Seacrest - gave reporters some insight on what they should be expecting come game day.  While confirming rumors of a Paula Abdul comeback performance, he tacked on news many may be disappointed to hear:  her performance with Randy Jackson will be pre-taped.

C’mon, seriously?  Have we not learned anything from Britney’s ‘comeback’ at the VMAs?  If you’re going to reestablish yourself in the music industry, you’re going to need to do it live.  We don’t want Memorex.

Be looking for the canned performance Feb. 3rd on FOX.
