But What I Really Wanna Do Is Act!

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.
