Vanessa Minnillo is now ready to launch her movie career. According to an industry insider, the former MTV VJ — who left TRL in April 2007 — is set to start filming a movie called Redefining Love. “She’s so excited!” an insider close to Vanessa, 27, tells In Touch. “Acting is a different way to entertain people,” Nick Lachey’s girlfriend says in the February issue of Vegas Magazine. “Most people know how to be themselves in front of the camera, but interpreting a character takes a lot. Once I get the role right, I’ll just feel it.” Vanessa had a small role in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
