Nicole Scherzinger To Play Men In Black Baddie

Nicole Scherzinger is set to unleash her dark side on the big screen - she's signed up to play a villainess in the new Men In Black movie.

Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin are all preparing to shoot the upcoming sequel and they'll be joined by Pussycat Dolls star Scherzinger.

She'll play a fiendish character called Lilly - but her role in the movie is brief. The singer tells E! Online, "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."

The 3D movie is expected to hit cinemas in 2012.
