Rihanna’s full interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show aired today (November 21).

Before RiRi dished the deets on her love life, she talked about creating the new set alongside her amazing fans.

“You get overwhelmed by a host of emotions,” Rihanna said about the feeling on album release day. “You’re nervous, you’re excited, you’re anxious. But somehow I’m very excited this time. Talk That Talk, I felt like I made this album with my fans. I feel like they were there every step, and that’s because they were. Not physically, I mean besides being there on tour, but we were there on Twitter and every moment, they experienced every moment with me. I just can’t wait for them to own it ’cause it’s like theirs.”

RiRi also talked about shooting her incredible video for “We Found Love,” absolutely never dating her co-star Dudley O’Shaughnessy, her stance on being a role model, being named the sexiest woman alive by Esquire magazine, and so much more. Oh, and she also got dolled up in a customized Ellen snuggie. Watch below:

Rihanna called in to “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” from a bus en route to Belgium on Friday to premiere her second single, “You Da One” from upcoming fourth album “Talk That Talk” due out November 21st. With little time to waste since the massive success of 2010′s Loud, Rihanna‘s sixth studio album is already on the horizon and after the lead single “We Found Love“ hit the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, the superstar has released her second single “You Da One.” Listen:

RiRi gushes, “‘You Da One‘ is one of those records that became very addictive for me. I could not stop listening to this song. It’s very infectious.  It’s a sweet little love letter. I love that it has that reggae vibe, but it also has that little bit of dubstep. It’s kind of dirty. I love it.”

RD: First of all Rihanna fans would like to know how do you get to become Rihanna’s back up singer? How did you get to work with her?

I received a call for a private audition in LA. I found out a week later that I would be joining her on the road!

RD: How did you feel at the first live performance with Rihanna in front of thousands of fans?

My first performance with Rihanna was at the Grammy Awards in February this year. It was my first time ever attending the show and it was even more amazing to be there as a performer. I really got a feel for Rih and how great she is on stage. I couldn’t wait to start the tour with her.

ET Online: Rihanna takes on her first dramatic role in the summer blockbuster Battleship, and our own Mark Steines is exclusively with the Grammy winner on the USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor, HI.

“I got to shoot some really serious, powerful weapons, which is really, really fun,” says the singer, decked out head-to-toe in camouflage and fake tattoos. “We wanted a bunch of tattoos just to dirty me up a little bit — and, of course, no makeup.”

Rihanna is standing on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri in Oahu’s Pearl Harbor wearing fatigues and clucking like a chicken. Yes, you read that right. Clucking. Like a chicken. “Bwawk, BWAWK!”

Certainly not what one might expect to see the pop superstar doing on the set of her first movie, one about a battle at sea with aliens to boot, but blame it on Battleship director Peter Berg’s style. This particular scene takes place at the beginning of the movie when Admiral Shane (Liam Neeson, absent today) is giving a speech on deck to some 500 extras. Rihanna, as tough-chick sailor Raikes, is egging on two male sailors to go mess with one of the ranking officers, Hopper (Taylor Kitsch), but they’re balking, afraid of him. He has her repeat the line “Go mess with him!” over and over. The sailors refuse again.

“Now cluck like a chicken!” Berg hollers at her. “Again!” He instructs the soldiers to bait her, and ad lib. He starts throwing them lines right and left. “What are you, Col. Sanders?” Rihanna starts to look mildly pissed, as her handlers watch, giggling, from the sidelines. Finally Berg gets the take he wants, and they break.

She stops to chat with the small group of reporters invited to spend the day on the set checking out advance footage and conducting interviews. Asks one: “Did you know you were going to cluck like a chicken when you came to set?”

“No! [Peter Berg] is crazy,” she says, but doesn’t seem to mind. “It makes it so fun, so spontaneous, nothing is memorized. It’s a real reaction every time. I couldn’t ask for a better director to work with on my first film. ”
