James Franco recently made headlines when he posted a video of himself singing Rihanna’s “You Da One” on the Internet. The clip was short, sweet and a bit out of nowhere. But if you think that Franco was in one of his performance-art moments when he created the viral video, think again. It turns out he’s just a fan of the colorful singer.
“[It] didn’t take a lot of work [to lip-synch to her song],” he confessed to MTV News at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday. “But I do like Rihanna.”
In fact, his biggest confession about his connection to the singer came next. It seems the two were thisclose to working together on her 2011 “We Found Love” video. As the story goes, before male model Dudley O’Shaughnessy landed the role as Ri’s troubled leading man, Franco had the opportunity to be cast as one-half of that rocky romance.
“She actually asked me to be in that video, the one with the relationship that gets crazy,” he dished. “I couldn’t do it. But, I guess, I hope that that means there’s mutual love between us.”
Well, apparently these two are getting a second chance to work together, and this time it’s on the big screen. Franco teased that Rihanna may appear in pal Seth Rogen’s flick “The Apocalypse,” which follows a slew of celebs playing themselves. They’re partying at Franco’s house when they learn the apocalypse is coming.
“I think she’s gonna be in the new movie that I’m doing, Seth Rogen’s directorial debut,” he shared. “I think she has a little part in that.”

She’s currently the May 2012 ELLE cover girl, and now Rihanna will be adding Harper’s Bazaar to her impressive magazine frontwoman credentials. The Barbadian beauty took to Malibu, CA this weekend (April 21) while getting all glammed up for her very first photo shoot for the popular fashion magazine.
According to a source on the scene, the “We Found Love” songstress made a midday arrival while spending about an hour and a half getting her hair and make-up done while perched inside her eco-friendly ‘Verde’ trailer. As for the photo shoot location, Rihanna and the Harper’s crew were situated at a picturesque Malibu canyons ranch with the main house having been built from an old Boeing 747 jumbo jet. Putting in the long hours to get things just right, the 24-year-old finally finished up her efforts around midnight before heading back home.

Peter Berg’s military vs aliens actioner from Universal Pictures made the milestone in its first 10 days of international release. Through this Sunday Battleship‘s first 12-day total should reach $126.7M. The pressure is on for the film to do well in the 50 territories where it’s now open — including China and Russia — because of its advance bad buzz and very expensive budget. (The studio claims the cost was $209M while outside sources say $250M.) Battleship doesn’t open in the U.S./Canada until May 18th because the studio set a strategy to open overseas first. This weekend it debuted in another 24 territories and should gross $56M for the weekend. It was #1 opener in 16 territories this week bringing the film’s total Number One openings overseas to 37 in the last two weeks:
It opened #1 in Russia Thursday with $2.1 million and dominated the box office there with 78% of market share. Friday’s gross is $2.2M with a 2-day total estimate of $4.3M (LC 126.4M) — better than both Thor and Iron Man but also helped by a big theater-building push there.
In Ukraine, Battleship also opened to #1 and was Universal’s biggest opener in history in that territory.
In China, Battleship gave Universal its largest opening in history on Wednesday where the film grossed $3M on opening day and has gone on to make $8.2M (LC50M) in three days — more than Fast Five (LC43M).
Battleship held the #1 spot during Week 2 in Germany, Austria, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. It had very strong holds in Australia and Japan.
Universal has 14 more territories to open including Israel on May 3, South Africa on May 4, and Latin America starting on May 10.
