Pro Bowl show punted

Hula dancers to replace N'Sync singer

? The NFL is changing the Pro Bowl’s halftime show because of Janet Jackson’s breast-baring at the Super Bowl.

Singer J.C. Chasez was dumped from the program at Sunday’s all-star game in Hawaii after fellow N’Sync member Justin Timberlake’s stunt with Jackson at the championship game.

The new Pro Bowl halftime plan includes hula dancers, drummers, conch shell blowers and local singers.

“The commissioner said Monday morning that we will change our policies and procedures as it relates to entertainment during our games,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “This is immediate action that reflects that approach.”

Timberlake ripped off a piece of Jackson’s outfit, exposing one of her breasts covered only with a “nipple shield” during the halftime show last Sunday. Jackson issued an apology Monday night, saying it was a last-minute stunt that went awry.

NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue called it “offensive, embarrassing to us and our fans, and inappropriate.”

Gina Orr, publicist for N’Sync’s label, Jive Records in Los Angeles, said she couldn’t immediately say whether Chasez would still perform the national anthem at the Pro Bowl, as planned.

The new halftime show — with 200 hula dancers, 1,000 other dancers, drummers and a new song called “Welcome to my Paradise” — originally was supposed to be pregame entertainment.
