Idolator

Bringing together two parts of my life that I never, ever thought would be brought together—a decade spent being forced to watch ABC daytime soaps as a small boy stuck at my grandparents' apartment and my obsessive fanboy crush on Timothy Mosley—Timbaland will be making the trip from Virginia Beach to Llanview, the fake well-heeled Pennsylvania 'burb where the various intrigues of One Life To Live take place, for an October episode. (The AP, in its infinite subtlety, opens its report: "Timbaland is trying something new." It's also notable for the fact that the Nelly/Justin wonder team seems to have erased any need to mention Tim's decade-long stint producting hip-hop and R&B artists in quickie news blurbs.) You know, I watched this show on and off for most of my grade school years and I don't remember a single thing as interesting as a canned performance of "The Way I Are" happening in all that time. (And yes, yes I know Lucci is All My Children.)
