In an exclusive interview with GQ.COM, Skarsgård – who plays Eric Northman in the vampire-themed HBO series – has talked about RiRi:

[...] “[Filming Battleship] is a different experience because Rihanna, we’re out there together for a couple of months. This is her first movie but she’s great, she’s really really good in it and her working… She’s got a crazy schedule. She’s really diligent and I’m impressed. We would work and then she’d fly to LA to perform at the MTV Music Awards and then fly back red eye, land, go straight to set, work all day. No complaints, nothing. She’s really solid.”

Drake spilled the beans about their secret duet during a recent interview:

“I just did this great song with Rihanna so I hope we get to shoot a video for that too,” he revealed to MTV News backstage at his Miami tour kick-off this week. “I’m really excited about that song.”

Drake had reportedly written for Rihanna in the past, but the material did not make her album. He was careful not to give away too much about their latest collabo, which will likely appear on Rihanna’s new album Loud, due November 16.

“I don’t know if I’m supposed to talk about that actually.”

Shontelle sounds like she is on “Cloud 9”… can you blame her?

“I am such a happy girl right now. Things have been going really, really well,” said Shontelle, who called in to “The Ralphie Radio Show” on the day her sophomore album, No Gravity, hit stores. “I mean, I’ve been in the studio with Rihanna as well.”

The two songstresses go way back – to the days when they were both cadets in their home country of Barbados. Shontelle will now collaborate with Rihanna on Loud, which is due out this November. Layne noted that her and RiRi wanted to link up for a while now, and was happy that their schedules finally synced. Despite other reports, the “Impossible” singer insists she cleared it with Rihanna before announcing the news.

“I was very careful, I was like, ‘Ri, you let me know. If I’m not supposed to say anything, tell me,’” she recalled. “I literally didn’t say anything until I got the ‘all-clear’ and so, it’s all good.”

[...] Some folks have theorized it’s the L.A. lifestyle and girlfriend, singer Rihanna, who have impacted Matt Kemp’s baseball career for the worse.

“My girl has nothing to do with what I do on the baseball field,” Kemp says. “If anything she helps. She makes me happy, and as stressed as I am coming home sometimes, it’s nice to have someone there who just wants to support you.”

• Rihanna is not going to perform on Good Morning America summer concert series. Rihanna’s performance was confirmed for August 20 a couple months ago, however, Melissa, Rihanna’s bff, told our friend Tamara that Rihanna is no longer performing.

• In a interview conducted during his mind-blowing Australian tour, Slash revealed that he’s got a soft spot for Rihanna. “One of my guilty pleasures is really attractive pop singer females that can sing. I real think that’s sort of a turn on. She’s [Rihanna] got a great voice,” Slash quipped. Despite only getting a day’s notice from Rihanna’s people, Slash delivered his trademark flair and power to give Rockstar 101 the guitar it needed. Slash said that he was largely happy with the sound, but “since it’s come out, the only thing is I put way more guitar solos on it than are actually on the track that they released, so that’s sort of a bummer.”

• After last night’s concert in Wantagh, Rihanna posed for a picture with 2 fans:

Thanks Tamara, Giamma and Lu!

“So I went to Rihanna’s concert tonight and when I saw her do ‘I’m so hard, eh eh eh,’ I’m not gonna lie to ya’ll, I might have actually started crying,” Kanye West told the crowd at his secret NYC show after Rihanna’s concert. “Just to see my little sister on stage with her production, her outfit, her song and rocking Madison Square Garden at her own sold-out show . It was a very emotional moment for me and I’m just so proud of her.”

Touching!

• Ke$ha may be 23, but she has a major to-do list. “Some of my favorite artists of all time are classic artists, and the list is long when it comes to dream duets. Anywhere from a Mick Jagger to a Prince to a David Bowie. But also I’d be as honored to share a song with Rihanna as I’m honored to share her stage during our concert tour. We were just hanging out. She’s so amazing, especially on stage. She’s such a genuine person.” Hmm, is Rihanna’s boyfriend Matt Kemp always around? “I haven’t seen him yet, but there’s so many people on our tour, there’s like hundreds of people. I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting him yet.”

• Rihanna brought her Last Girl on Earth Tour  to Madison Square Garden on Thursday night (August 12), and that means opening act Ke$ha was feeling particularly nervous. Why? Well, it’s Madison Square Garden! “I’m actually a little petrified, to be honest. It’s a landmark in my career, and it’s just an epic venue. … I’m just really excited, and I’m gonna try to kill it!” she told MTV News. “It definitely means a lot for me to be playing there, especially with Rihanna, ’cause she’s so incredible. It makes me feel like I’m finally arriving here!” The girls kicked off the tour  earlier this summer, and the “Tik Tok” singer said she and Rihanna have had some fun times on the road together. “It’s amazing! She’s just a badass. I saw her yesterday, and she spanked me — always keeping me on my toes. She’s the sickest.” With all that time together, have the girls discussed working together? “I would love to. I mean, it’s kind of been tossed around. There’s not really much time that we’ve spent writing and stuff on this tour, because it’s been so crazy, but it’s definitely an idea I’m not opposed to.” Ke$ha said she’s learning tons from Rihanna on tour. “I don’t know what she would be learning from me, aside from how to look like a maniac, but I definitely learned a lot from her. I’ve only been performing pop music for under a year, so I’m relatively new to the arena thing. It’s terrifying, so I really do, every night, watch her, and she’s so graceful and so sweet and so badass.” Her best advice? “She just always has such a good attitude. You just have to own it!”

We can’t wait! Megan and Dominic are awesome!

According to the director, Rihanna and Eminem are shooting their scenes today. There are no news or pictures from the set yet.

In other news, a picture of RiRi in Devore, CA taken last week has been added to the gallery:

“We have slumber parties and pillow fights and we braid each other’s hair a lot,” Ke$ha laughed while telling MTV. “We talk about boys, naked. Touring with Rihanna is incredible, you should come see it. It’s really fun. I’ve been out with her for about two weeks now, and I just learn so much from her as a performer. She has one of the best voices of anyone I’ve ever seen live, and I kind of just take it as my opportunity to hype up thousands of people. It’s epic. She’s amazing live and her voice is just so good. I’m kind of just, like, her hype girl. I take the stage and hype it up for 40 minutes.”

Andy Samberg once again scored an Emmy nomination for one of his “Saturday Night Live” digital shorts with a pop star, and he told AccessHollywood.com that if Rihanna is free, he’d love to perform “Shy Ronnie” on TV’s big night.

“Oh my God, yeah! If they want us to,” Andy told Access at Lexus’ Darker Side of Green event in West Hollywood on Thursday. “I think getting her to do it will be harder.”

The skit, which netted Andy an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics, featured Rihanna singing to a classroom of kids alongside Andy, in a red wig, playing the part of “Shy Ronnie,” a bashful youngster who choked each time she tossed a verse over to him.
