R&B star Trey Songz has signed on to play one of the leads in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, the latest remake of Tobe Hooper's extraordinarily gory 1974 horror classic. Songz is set to play the male lead opposite actress Alexandra Daddario in the movie, which is set to be released by Lionsgate on October 5th, 2012.

This will be Songz's first major movie role, though he has some previous acting experience with a small part in Preacher's Kid, a Christian movie that came out last year, and appearances as himself on episodes of The Mo'Nique Show and the ABC Family drama Lincoln Heights.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
