R&B singer Ne-Yo is expanding his acting portfolio.  The singer has signed on to appear in the upcoming film “Battle: Los Angeles.”

Ne-Yo has been cast to play a corporal in the film, and he will battle aliens. 

The movie is about members of a marine platoon who fight against an alien invasion in Los Angeles.  The movie also stars Michelle Rodriguez and Bridget Moynahan.  The movie will be released Feb. 18, 2011.

Ne-Yo’s hit songs include “So Sick,” “Miss Independent,” “Because of You” and “Mad.”

R&B singer Ne-Yo is being sued this week by a company that claims he failed to show up at an event.

Representatives from Wet Entertainment  allege they paid Ne-Yo $95,000 to host a New Year’s Eve show in Washington state, but he didn’ t show up.

Therefore, the show was canceled at the last minute.  They are  suing him for $1 million in damage.

R&B singer Ne-Yo appeared on a radio show, and he said he wanted slap rapper Yung Berg for making that song named “The Business.”

Ne-Yo claims that Yung Berg copied T-Pain and Lil Wayne’s musical style by doing that song.

When Yung Berg heard those comments, he retaliated by questioning Ne-Yo’s sexuality. He even referred to Ne-Yo as “Miss Independent,” which happens to be the the name of Ne-Yo’s new song.

Ne-Yo recently told MTV that he’s not interested in getting into a feud with Yung Berg or anyone else.

He said, “That ain’t my lane, dude. I don’t beef. I don’t do that. That ain’t my thing. I don’t do dis records. I don’t do beef. I don’t do any of that blogs talking about cats. I don’t do that. That ain’t my thing. I’m a grown man. I got money to make.”

I think it’s funny how Ne-Yo all of sudden says he doesn’t dis anybody, when in fact, he’s the one who started the feud in the first place with his negative comments about Yung Berg.

R&B singer R. Kelly has been ordered by a court to pay singer Ne-Yo $700,320.

Ne-Yo filed a lawsuit against R. Kelly after he dropped Ne-Yo as the opening act on his tour.

Ne-Yo claimed that R. Kelly dismissed him from the tour because Ne-Yo received better praise from the critics and the fans.

Yes, R. Kelly got away with having sexual relations on videotape with an underage girl, but he sure didn’t get away with trying to get over on Ne-Yo.
