50 Cent does the pre-game Super Bowl concert.  Between performing hits like “Candy Shop” and “Ayo Technology” with his crew, the rapper welcomed Deion Sanders and Ludacris on the Pontiac Garage Stage during Thursday’s performance at the 944 Super Village, a makeshift venue constructed by 944 magazine in an empty lot adjacent to Scottdale’s Fashion Square Mall.

Paris Hilton also made a cameo about halfway through 50’s performance. Hilton — who appears topless on the February cover of 944 magazine — emerged from the front row and partially danced her way onstage with 50, drawing the attention of both professional photographers’ lenses and audience members’ cell phones.

Meanwhile, two men dressed as Ooompa Loompas from “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” danced on tables in a VIP section.

Backstage, reality TV stars Kourtney and Chloe Kardashian, actor Mekhi Phifer and two women wearing nothing but G-strings and Trump Premium Vodka bottles painted on their nude bodies were spotted. Tickets to the concert went for anywhere between $100 to $1,000.  The whole thing sounds very strange to me.

High kicking action movie star Jackie Chan has recorded an officially-endorsed song which will count down to the Beijing Olympics, he has said on his website.  He revealed in a blog entry that he had spent three hours recording We Are Ready on a trip to the Chinese capital.  Oh boy, get ready to cover your ears.

The song was written by Peter Kam, who won a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival last year for his score to the production Isabella. And an English-language version of it was planned, Kam told Associated Press.  He added that a second Chinese version had been sung by more than 100 pop stars.
