Things will never be the same in Llanview. Rapper Snoop Dogg will be guesting on One Life to Live. Following in the footsteps of other big name music stars Mary J. Blige, Nelly Furtado, Chris Botti, Erykah Badu, Timbaland and Keri Hilson, Snoop is going to sing at the Ultra Violet dance club in episodes airing on ABC (and SoapNet) May 8 and May 9.

It may seem like a strange marriage, rap and soap, but according to the Dogg, he's been a long-time soap watcher. Believe it or not (not), but Snoop said, "I've been a fan of One Life to Live since I was a baby." That would add up, by the way. He's 36 years old and One Life to Live has been broadcast on ABC for forty years -- four decades -- since 1968. "My momma always had it on the tube in tha crib growing up," he says.

Snoop will be playing himself on the soap, performing two songs from his new album, Ego Trippin' -- "Sensual Seduction" and "Life of Da Party." He's also going to do a Snoop remix of the OLTL theme. "The opportunity to change up the theme song and give it some of my flavor will make the show the Life of The Party," he observes. The music will be cool, but what I really want to see is Snoop, who has acting experience including playing a rapper (a stretch) on Monk last year among other credits, going nose to nose with Viki or Bo. More likely it'll be Antonio or Rex or Adriana. Maybe Dorian?
