According to Variety, Rihanna will make her feature film acting debut in the live action adaptation of the popular Hasbro ’80s game that I spent long summer afternoons playing at my neighbor Christina Lockwood’s house. (Quick question: If you were Rihanna’s manager, would you want her to start small, with a tiny but juicy role in a modest indie, or go straight for the shiny dollars of a Hasbro movie?) On the surface, this whole project sounds rather silly. The game was a great one to be sure, but the prospect of Rihanna’s rooster hair standing immobile in an ocean gale as alien forces bombard a destroyer is worrisome. That said, I do love director Peter Berg, if for nothing else than his decision to cast Tim McGraw in the marvelous Friday Night Lights and employ Explosions in the Sky on the even better soundtrack. The prospect of FNL‘s Taylor Kitsch and True Blood‘s Alexander Skarsgard as Batttleship‘s war-ready brothers does make my cheeks flush. If nothing else, this will be the prettiest cast ever assembled under one Hollywood sound stage. Universal has already set a May 25, 2012 release date.

Rihanna shared on Ryan Seacrest’s Radio Show that Katy Perry has asked her to organize her bachelorette party, “She put that on me last week. I have to come up with something cool because she’s getting married in India,” the 22-year old singer told Ryan. “But that’s at the end of the year so we’ve got some time to plan,” she admits with relief.

Katy, 25, had been dating 34-year old Russell for just four months when he proposed on New Year’s Eve in Jaipur, which – in an entirely unrelated tidbit which may suggest why Russell likes it – is known as ‘The Pink City.’

The sexy songbird confirmed her relationship status with Los Angeles Dodger Matt Kemp when she recently spoke to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM radio show.

“Umm, he’s my boyfriend,” the 22-year-old singer admitted, after months of playing coy about their romance.

The couple, who were first spotted together in January on a romantic trip to Mexico, have been heating up while keeping a low-key profile.

Rihanna has confessed that she is attracted to both men and women.

The Barbadian singer also admitted that she would like to do a lesbian scene with Megan Fox.

“All humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl,” the Mirror quoted her as saying.

The Disturbia hitmaker said she would like to play out her bisexual assassin on her movie debut.

Rihanna would talk to her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown again – despite him beating her earlier in 2009.

Ri has been single since the attack occurred in February and Brown is forbidden from going near the ‘Russian Roulette’ star.

But the singer – real name Robyn Fenty – admits she still has feelings for her former beau.

“I can’t see myself never speaking to him again,” Rihanna revealed. “There’s emotion there. I think it’s possible to change.”

The ‘Rated R’ star also confessed to being embarrassed that she ever dated the ‘I Can Transform Ya’ singer.

“It’s embarrassing that I fell in love with that person,” she said. “He was my first big love and the more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for one another.”

Rihanna may be incredibly busy with her career, but she still finds time to spend with her new guy, Los Angeles Dodger Matt Kemp.

Friends introduced Rihanna, 21, and Kemp, 25, in November. They are currently vacationing at a luxury resort in Cabo San Lucas.

An eyewitness told PEOPLE that the couple was seen spending time by the pool and they “couldn’t keep their hands off each other,” and that the two of them “kept kissing while gazing out over the ocean.”

Other witnesses have said that Rihanna seems very pleased with her new relationship. “Rihanna wants the world to know that she is happy with Matt,” an insider said.

Kemp’s agent, Dave Stewart, said, “They’ve only had a few opportunities to be together, but those times have been fun.”

Rihanna has said it was ‘therapeutic’ to talk about her experiences on her new tracks.

The 21-year-old beauty’s new album Rated R is her first since her assault ordeal with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

She admitted that it wasn’t in her original plan to use her experiences as material for her new songs.

Rihanna was asked by Fearne Cotton on BBC Radio One if it was important for her to channel what she has been through into her music.

She said: “Actually, at first I didn’t want to take that route. I wanted to make an album that didn’t even talk about love at all. But going into the studio, it kind of was my peace and it was my place to vent.

“And it was kind of therapeutic to talk about it and work with writers and producers and to get my story across.”

Chris Brown has something to say about ex-girlfriend Rihanna’s revealing interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, in which the singer spoke frankly about the Feb. 8 incident in which he assaulted her.

“While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8,” Brown says in a statement to MTV News, “I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us.”

In the Diane Sawyer interview, Rihanna said that Brown, 20, put her in a headlock twice and bit her on the ear and fingers. “He had no soul in his eyes,” Rihanna, 21, told Sawyer. “He was clearly blacked out.”

And the singer — whose new album Rated R drops later this month — explained why she is speaking so publicly. “I knew I had to do this in order to move on for me and in order for my fans to move on . . . I don’t want that five years from now every time they see Rihanna, they think of Chris Brown beating me. That’s not who I am.”

Rihanna says dealing with the media attention after being assaulted in February by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown was humiliating. But she now hopes to speak for young women who are afraid to talk openly about domestic violence.

She told Glamour magazine in an interview posted online Tuesday that the police photo of her bruised face that was leaked to reporters added insult to injury.

“I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life,” she said.

“Domestic violence is a big secret,” Rihanna said. “The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.”

A judge on Tuesday sentenced Chris Brown to five years’ probation and six months’ community labor for the beating of Rihanna and ordered the R&B singer to stay away from his former girlfriend for the next five years.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told Brown that he could be sent to state prison if he violated any terms of his sentence, including an order to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna unless they’re attending music industry events.
