Last weekend, Keri Hilson performed a sizzling “She Works Hard For The Money” for VH1 DIVAS 2012‘s spectacular Donna Summer tribute, reminding us that Hilson’s got the pipes, Hilson’s got the moves and it certainly doesn’t hurt that Hilson’s got the legs and looks, as well. It’s been two years since No Boys Allowed dropped and we’re still pumping “Pretty Girl Rock” on a more than semi-regular basis, to be sure, but every spin has us asking: where’s Keri been? We caught up with the Hilson back stage, and she promised us that she’ll be back to pretty girl rocking in 2013 with her acting debut and new music, too!

“I took a little break, and I’m back,” Hilson explained, teasing a new album set for release in the first quarter of next year and beaming with excitement for her upcoming silver-screen debut. Hilson is set to star alongside Vin Diesel — “He’s become my mentor!” — in Chronicles of Ridick: Dead Man Stalking, and she is “super excited” about getting back to her more theatrical roots. “I was a theater major in college,” she said, “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.” And as long as that doesn’t mean an end to the music, we would love her to have that, too.

Can you keep a secret? We can’t either! That’s why as soon as we heard, we had to share: Kelly Rowland and Keri Hilson are joining Adam Lambert on theVH1 Divas stage to pay homage to late, great – and newly minted 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee – Donna Summer.

Kelly will hit the stage more than once. What do you think? Sound off below and keep checking back for more updates as we get closer to Sunday, December 16 when Divas airs live at 9PM ET/8C.

Omar Epps, Mekhi Phifer, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Keri Hilson and Michael Rainey Jr. are all set to star in a new film out of Hill Harper and Tommy Oliver’s new production company, Confluential Films.

Entitled “Destined,” the flick follows the journey of 13-year-old Rasheed when his life takes a dramatic turn. But the story has a parallel ending – he could become a big time architect being used to gentrify his old neighborhood, or he could become a powerful drug lord.
