Terrence Jenkins has baggage. Or rather, Baggage has Terrence Jenkins.

The soon-to-debut E! News anchor is heading back to the silver screen, joining the big names already on board the forthcoming romantic comedy Baggage Claim.

"I'm honored and excited to be working with such an amazing cast and crew," Jenkins exclusively tells us of his upcoming role in the adaptation. "David E. Talbert is a wonderful director and it is great to see the vision he had for his book translate onto the screen."

Jenkins will be joining some pretty esteemed company for the Fox Searchlight production: Paula Patton, Djimon Hounsou, Derek Luke, Taye Diggs, Jill Scott and Christina Milian have already signed on for the cinematic venture.

Meanwhile, Terrence brings plenty of star power himself, having previously starred in Think Like a Man and Battle of the Year: The Dream Continues.

As for his new project, he'll be appearing opposite leading lady Lauren London, playing her fiancé.

But before he makes the jump back to the big screen, Terrence will of course be making a splash on the small one—his debut as the new cohost of E! News (alongside fellow entertainment all-rounder Giuliana Rancic) is set for Nov. 12. Can't wait, Terrence!
