2011 was a busy year for Cee-Lo and from the looks of it, 2012 will be just as hectic. In a feature from the NY Times, it’s revealed that Cee-Lo will be part of a UK reality show and a string of Las Vegas shows dubbed “Loberace”.

More television is on its way. Backstage at the last night of “The Voice” last June, he signed a contract with Mr. Burnett for a reality show on British television, “Cee Lo Takes the U.K.,” on which his old group, the Goodie Mob, records a reunion album in London and soaks up the local customs. And next year Cee Lo will follow Celine Dion and Prince to Las Vegas with “Loberace,” a theatrical show to be presented at Planet Hollywood.

While most were waiting for Santa to arrive, Count, Moonie and Meek shot the video for their collabo over the weekend. More pics spotted from FSD below. It’s never too late to get Now Or Neva, now.
