Nelly: Actor

Rapper Nelly recently made an appearance on the hit CBS drama ‘CSI: NY’. His character has a multi-episode arc where he plays a club owner who serves as a confidential informant to Detective Mac Taylor, played by actor Gary Sinise, and his team. The show’s executive producer Pam Veasey said of Nelly’s performance that “He’s a great actor. He really stepped up.” That’s more than you can say for other musicians turned actors. Nelly has real talent. I wonder if he’ll be doing any more acting. Currently, the rapper is on tour in support of his fifth studio album ‘Brass Knuckles’.

When you’ve got the world in the palm of your hand, do something good just like the three new celebrities who have joined the (PRODUCT) RED Gap Campaign. It’s a for-benefit brand that was designed to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.

Actress Anne Hathaway, Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Wyclef Jean embracing his daughter Angelina, and Grammy Award winning artist John Legend with the African Children’s Choir are the three newest ads. A reintroduction of a series of images which debuted in the summer were also part of the campaign – actor Terrence Howard and his 3 children Hunter, Aubrey and Heaven, Dixie’ Chicks’ Natalie Maines with her sons Beckett and Slade and actress Abigail Breslin with her friend Curious George.
