Posted January 11, 200718 yr Ne-Yo checked in with SOHH exclusively to talk up his new movie, Stomp The Yard, the timing of his sophomore set and his plans for Whitney Houston's forthcoming studio album. "I wouldn't have known anything about the role had it not been for Columbus Short. He plays DJ the main character. I met him on the set of Save the Last Dance 2 last year. We became good friends and when they approach him about this new movie he mentioned my name to them," Ne-Yo told SOHH about how he snagged the role of the "free spirited Rich Brown." Stomp The Yard is a coming of age tale filmed predominantly at the Atlanta University Center and mimics the black college experience's famed Greek life and the traditions of stepping. The movie also stars Meagan Good (Waist Deep), Darren Dewitt Hansen (Soul Food) and R&B singer Chris Brown. Although there are plans for more extensive roles future films, Ne-Yo admitted that his current priorities were completing his second studio album and writing songs for Britney Spears, Celine Deon and Whitney Houston in hopes of continuing the success he scored from penning Beyonce's current hit "Irreplaceable." "My new album is definitely in the making right now. It will be done real soon, around April or May it should be out, but I will have a single as soon as February," said the Def Jam crooner who was reluctant to name his first single. "As far as Whitney goes, I really want to sit down and have a conversation with her. From her last album 'til now, a lot of stuff has gone on in her life. There may be some things she don't want to talk about. That's just real talk. Knowing that, I wanna see where her head is at, and talk about where she doesn't want to go. But I really think we'll just make hit songs and not worry about trying to make the comeback album. I'mma approach it like... let's just make hit records," professes Ne-Yo. [source]

May 5, 200718 yr Ne-Yo finds success as hit singer, songwriter And he has an increasing number of outlets in which to express his artistry. His sexy sophomore album, "Because of You," comes out on Tuesday, while on the songwriting front, he's working with Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears and Celine Dion, who, according to Ne-Yo (born Shaffer Smith), told him: "I am going to be the one person this year that is not going to ask for you for 'Irreplaceable."' Surely, Dion couldn't be blamed if she did. The ultimate brush-off song, "Irreplaceable" cemented itself at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 100 singles chart for 10 weeks. Wow im sure neyo will do wonder for celkine i cant wait it'll be great to have her back on top of thge charts again. :lol:
