USHER - USHER TURNS DOWN WILLIS MOVIE

R+B star USHER has been so inundated with movie offers since he announced his acting plans - he was forced to turn down a BRUCE WILLIS film.

After the phenomenal success of his award-winning CONFESSIONS album last year (04), Usher is taking a break from music to hone his second career on the big screen, after small roles in teen movies SHE'S ALL THAT and THE FACULTY.

Usher has just finished filming romantic comedy DYING FOR DOLLY and is preparing to join BEYONCE KNOWLES and JAMIE FOXX in musical DREAMGIRLS.

He enthuses, "I've been discussing doing another role with Jamie Foxx, and another with TOM CRUISE - so we'll see.

"I was so busy a while ago that I actually had to pass up a film with Bruce Willis. It got that crazy."
