Nicole Scherzinger's movie role

Nicole Scherzinger's going to appear on the big screen in the new Men in Black movie.

The Pussycat Dolls star will star alongside Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin in the sequel due out in 2012.

Nicole will play a villain called Lilly but she won't be on screen for long.

The singer  says "She's like a small villain role. I'm so excited because I get to die. I make an appearance. I say a couple of lines and then I die."

Rehearsals begin next week before shooting commences in December when you can also see Nicole at the Jingle Bell Ball.
