Chris Cornell’s long-awaited Timbaland produced album, Scream

Chris Cornell’s long-awaited Timbaland produced album, Scream, is reaching stores on 3/10.  Chris has been keeping busy rehearsing with his new band and talking with his fans on his blog to gear up for the release.  The front man hasn’t picked up an electric guitar since the break-up of his legendary group Soundgarden back in the late 90’s, but according to his latest blog entry on ChrisCornell.com, he’s thinking of busting them out for his upcoming tour:

“Hi people. Here is an open question. Since I got my guitars back I have been considering playing guitar live again. Who thinks I should pick it up again? I play guitar all day every day as I am always working on new songs. Let me know if you think I should hit it live. The king is dead. God save the king.”

Chris Cornell will be performing on Jimmy Kimmel live tonight, Friday, January 23rd - and free tickets are up for grabs. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, come along and see his outdoor mini-concert - tickets and all other details are available now. It’s a great chance to catch Chris and his band live before they head out to Europe for four exclusive shows next month.

Scream hits stores on March 10

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.

According to the Albany Times Union, an investigation is underway regarding steroids trafficking. The people involved? So far the list includes Mary J. Blige, Timbaland, 50 Cent, Wyclef Jean, and Tyler Perry.

No one’s rep would comment at this time.
