"Ne-Yo is a man of so many talents, it should be against the law. He&amp;apos;s written and produced some of the biggest hits to hit the radio in years --&amp;#xA0; for everyone from Beyonce to Rihanna to himself! -- all while scoring roles in major motion pictures (see the recent Battle: Los Angeles), fathering his first child (daughter Madilyn with girlfriend Monyetta was born last&amp;#xA0; November) and now doing his part for Japan relief by creating a line of Spread The Love With Music charity T-shirts (buy them here!). So if anybody has a right to say whatever is on his mind it&amp;apos;s the R&amp;amp;B star. But just watch out when you go talking about Jersey Shore&amp;apos;s Snooki! Here, he explains his reason for dissing Snooki&amp;apos;s recent Rolling Stone cover on Twitter, his big screen debut and doing his part for the earthquake and tsunami-ravaged nation.UsMagazine.com: What made you decide to create the shirts, with all of the proceeds going to help Japan? Ne-Yo: Music breaks down barriers, be it language barriers, be it race barriers, whatever the case may be. I don&amp;apos;t think people understand how powerful music actually is. I think that is what&amp;apos;s absolutely called for at this time of crisis. So, with that being said, spread love through music.Us: Now that you have been in a movie, are you going to get more into acting? N: I am going to try. If I don&amp;apos;t suck here, then yeah, you&amp;apos;ll see me in more stuff. If I do, then you won&amp;apos;t pretty much! &amp;#xA0;Us: Will you take on different roles? N: That&amp;apos;s the kind of actor I would like to be. I want to be the kind of actor who is a different person in every film I&amp;#x2019;m in. I want to play a paraplegic white guy in the next one! I think I can do it. I think I can pull it off. Us: Do you want to do acting more so than music? N: No, no, no -- not more so than doing music. Music will never, ever go away, and if the movie thing is good for me, then I&amp;apos;ll just add it on to the many things that I&amp;apos;m doing. Us: Are you a fan of Jersey Shore? N: You know, I&amp;apos;ve met one or two of the cast and they were cool. But this show as a whole? Not really. I have to say, not really. &amp;#xA0;Us: A lot of people have the same sentiments as something you Tweeted recently about Snooki. N: Yeah -- the whole Snooki thing. I&amp;apos;ve got to reiterate that I meant no disrespect to Snooki, I don&amp;apos;t know her, so I can&amp;apos;t disrespect her. But I feel like Rolling Stone is a music magazine and for them to put her on the cover is like, really? Us: So no feud alert? N: No, no, no - unless she is upset at me, in which case, let&amp;apos;s talk about it. &amp;#xA0;Us: I think she said something about, you might have lost a fan.. N: Okay, well, I have others.&amp;#xA0; So I think I&amp;apos;ll be all right!&amp;#xA0; I think I&amp;apos;ll sleep tonight!\r\nBy Ian Drew for UsMagazine.com.
