News Ticker: Rihanna & Fall Out Boy, Delaney Bramlett and My Chemical RomanceRihanna, Fall Out Boy, Enrique Iglesias and Lifehouse will take part in the NFL’s Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Bash, a two-night event at Tampa, Florida’s Ford Amphitheatre on January 29th and 30th. Actor Jerry O’ Connell will host the event, which will air live on VH1 three days before the Super Bowl on February 1st. Songwriter Delaney Bramlett, who co-wrote songs like Eric Clapton’s “Let It Rain” and the Carpenters’ hit “Superstar,” died December 27th as a result of complications following gall bladder surgery. He was 69. Bramlett was also a leading member of Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, which at points featured artists like Clapton, Duane and Gregg Allman, George Harrison and Dave Mason. My Chemical Romance have begun work on their follow-up to 2006’s Welcome to the Black Parade. According to bassist Mikey Way, the album’s sound is constantly changing: “So if, say, we wrote some songs that sound like Rick Springfield, a week later they’ve all turned into Children of Bodom songs,” Way said. As opposed to the band’s last three albums, the new disc likely won’t have a central concept.

Is There Anyplace Timbaland Won’t Go Pimp His New Album?Timbaland hopped onto Justin Timberlake’s FutureSex/LoveShow tour and showcased material from the guest-star-heavy Timbaland Presents Shock Value during weird DJ-break intermissions. He premiered the video for “Throw It On Me” on the WWE’s Monday Night RAW show. He made headlines for announcing he’s working with Celine Dion and hit the gossips for instructing Britney Spears to apologize to him and Timberlake for ditching their collaboration. And now, to ensure he hasn’t ignored the housewife/unemployed-recent-grad demo, he’s going to perform on soap opera One Life to Live. On an episode airing October 9th, Timbaland will play “The Way I Are” with Keri Hilson (joining an eclectic list of onetime OLTL performers that includes Mary J. Blige, Lifehouse and Simply Red). How pumped is Timbaland to conquer daytime drama? In a statement, he said, “This is a new experience for me. I am looking forward to having a great time and sharing my music!”
