Ever since Simon Cowell made the shocking announcement earlier this year that he fired both Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul from the X Factor judges table, we haven’t heard that much from the former Pussycat Doll.

However, since being axed from The X-Factor, Nicole has been busier than ever!

Hollyscoop caught up with the artist who says she’s working on her next solo album and will soon be gracing us with her presence on the big screen.

“Yes, I have a little part in Men In Black III, but it’s an honor. It’s coming out Memorial Day Weekend,” Scherzinger tells us at the third annual Women in Music 2012 Event.

We think she’s just being humble when she talks about her “little part” in MIB III, she tells us she’s playing “the villain’s girlfriend. So I’m kind of a bad-ass chick too. It was so much fun. It was crazy too. This is my first movie, so…”

We have fond memories of crazy action and stunt scenes in the first two MIB flicks, so can we expect to see Nicole Scherzinger in her first ever action sequence?

“Yeah, you’ll see,” she teases.

As for her upcoming album, Nicole says, “Just finished my first European solo tour so now I’ve been in the studio non-stop working on that, so I have music coming out soon.”

Scherzinger says to expect her new music to sound unlike anything you’ve heard before.

“It’s not like anything on the radio, that’s for sure,” she says of her upcoming single, “It’s very empowering like tonight for women. No, I don’t want to categorize it as a certain genre.”
