Keri Hilson has big plans for the upcoming New Year! She'll be in an acting debut alongside Vin Diesel in the sci-fi film The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking.

With Theatre being her major in college, she states in a VH1 video, "Acting is just as much a part of the things that inspire me and the things that keep me creatively juicy, just as much as music is. I’d love to have a lasting acting career”

Speaking of music, her fans should wait no more. Keri is looking to release a new abum in 2013!
