...year after Janet Jackson's faulty bustier burst into a controversy over values, another star's plan to show some (wrinklier) skin during the Super Bowl has been foiled. In a 15-second ad shot for the cold remedy Airborne, MICKEY ROONEY, 84, is lounging in a sauna when a woman coughs, prompting the apparently germophobic Andy Hardy star to scream and scamper off, dropping his towel and exposing his backside in his haste.

And it's not just western Pennsylvanians who are worked up. When Terry Bradshaw and Mean Joe Greene were winning Super Bowls in the '70s, the Steelers were America's Other Team, and like the Dallas Cowboys, they attracted fans nationwide. That spirit is back. When the Steelers played the New York Giants in December, Giants Stadium was covered in black and gold. It could almost have passed for a Pittsburgh...
