But while Elton John was busy entertaining digitally-remastered (and long deceased) celebrities (and even performing alongside one), Paula Abdul was busy hoofing it up with white-clad male dancers in a giant mansion of ice in the name of singing the praises of Diet Coke. This wasn't Paula's first go-around with Diet Coke - in 1992, she also did the "perform with a late celebrity" trend when she "danced" with Gene Kelly and Groucho Marx (well, I guess it was dancing) in a commercial for the product. But, this version was her first. And it was excellent.
