Straight up, now tell us: Did you see this coming?

Paula Abdul is reportedly in talks to perform live during Super Bowl XLII next month in Arizona.

With Tom Petty set to star in the halftime show, it's unclear just when Abdul would sing. But her latest project gives us an inkling of just what she'd be doing at the game:

The crazy American Idol judge is already in rehearsals for a music video duet between her and Randy Jackson, which will also be the first single off of Jackson's upcoming guest-heavy album, Music Club Vol. 1. Abdul would likely use this as the basis for her performance.

What do you think? Do you wanna see Paula at the big game?
