Yet another celebrity wanting to "cross-over!"

R&B star Ne-Yo is taking a break from the music biz and joining the cast of Battle: Los Angeles.

The science-fiction war film will also star Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan and Michael Peña.

Ne-Yo will play a corporal in the platoon fighting off the aliens.

Yawn.

The singer-songwriter also just landed a gig with Disney, penning and performing the closing song for The Princess and the Frog.

Shooting for Battle: Los Angeles begins in Shreveport, Louisiana this week.

Wow!

Shreveport is becoming pretty popular celeb destination.

      actually…he did pretty good in stomp the yard.
      but of course you hate him cause he's a black artist so whatever perez. atleast you called him a R&B artist and not a rapper this time.

      Don;t these guys (ne-yo, common, 50 cent etc.) realize that they're just filling in for the token black guy in these movies. Who gives a fuck about their acting skills?
