Miley Cyrus showed up to help Verizon Wireless and People Magazine to honor Timbaland at a private pre-Grammy party event in Hollywood on Friday. Timbaland is actually helping Verizon launch its Mobile Producer in Residence program wherein he will use Verizon Wireless’ V Cast service to launch an entire mobile album through the course of 2008. The plan is for Timbaland’s mobile album to be directly and exclusively offered to Verizon Wireless customers. He plans to start production of his mobile album at the start of March and would collaborate with a new guest artist on one track each month. Now that is a marketing strategy that’s clear even before it hit me in the face.

No one’s rep would comment at this time.
