The comedy “This Is The End” follows six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles.

“Diamonds,” atop R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs for an 11th week, leads Radio Songs for a third week in the United States. After being No. 1 on the Hot 100 for 3 weeks, the track remains at No. 2 for a second week.
When Oprah Winphrey was asked who was the toughest Next Chapter interview this year or who surprised her, she said: “Interestingly enough, the person who most surprised me the most was Rihanna. She brought one thousand percent of her. You could tell that she came ready. She was open to anything. But I don’t do an interview if someone tells me I can’t ask a certain question. My policy is, I can ask any question, you can tell me you won’t answer it, but you have to tell me that on camera. I really didn’t know that much about her. I just thought she was so thoughtful and so smart. I didn’t know that she was or wasn’t, I only knew her from her music.” Click here to watch her interview again.
Rihanna’s next movie title has been changed to “This Is The End” (previously called “The End Of The World”). Rihanna, who will play herself on the movie, is not featured on the first trailer.

Rihanna posted today on Instagram a picture of her and comedian actor Jim Parsons. The two are lending their voices for the upcoming animation movie “Happy Smekday!”, to be released in 2014.
A 11-year-old girl named Gratuity Tucci (also nicknamed Tip) lives with her widowed mother Lucy in an apartment in New York City. After her beloved dogs died in a car accident, she wishes for a replacement canine family. Her wish comes true when alien spaceships arrive at Earth. Read more about the movie here.
Rihanna may be an old hand at scoring Number 1 singles and albums, but now the Bajan singer can add a Number 1 film on the Official Video Chart to her list of accolades. Her debut feature film, Battleship – which also stars Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson and True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard – has gone straight in at Number 1 on the Official Video Chart, outselling its closest competitor, Lockout (starring Guy Pearce), by 3.5 copies to one.
“It was scary to get involved with such a big film,” said Rihanna. “But it’s been beyond my expectations! The action, and the graphics, the CGI is incredible! It was an amazing experience, so I’m looking forward to doing more films in the future for sure.”
The Official Video Chart is compiled for the video industry by the Official Charts Company, incorporating UK sales of all physical video formats, including DVD, Blu-Ray and VHS.
An exhilarating campaign to save mankind unfolds on the high seas, in the skies and on land when Battleship - the entertaining, action-adventure made with unprecedented support of the US Navy - comes to Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand August 28th, 2012, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Also available through Digital Download. Against all odds, a daring young naval officer and his heroic crew launch an all-out military showdown against a superior alien force in this enthralling, thrill-ride that will have viewers holding their breath through the final gripping face-off.
Blu-ray’s high-definition picture and perfect hi-def 5.1 surround sound provide the ultimate showcase to experience the film’s awe-inspiring special effects, non-stop action and ingenious weaponry. Almost two hours of exclusive bonus features including all-new featurettes, behind-the-scenes footage, filmmaker commentary and an exciting pre-visualization of an alternate ending make this a must-own disc for every movie fan.
The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons and Rihanna will play the lead voices in ‘Happy Smekday!’, a DreamWorks Animation adaptation of the award-winning book The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex.
In Smekday!, a friendly alien race invades Earth and uses it as a hideout from their mortal enemy. When one lowly alien accidentally notifies the enemies of his whereabouts, he is forced to go on the run with a teenage girl, embarking on a comical road-trip across a post-apocalyptic America and learning what it really means to be human.
Tim Johnson, who previously co-directed DWA’s Antz and Over the Hedge, is sitting solo in the helmer’s chair for Smekday!, which the studio hopes to release during the fourth quarter of 2014.
Rihanna was spotted on the set of her latest movie “The End Of The World” in New Orleans. She was seen on the set together with Emma Watson, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen. Whoa! We can’t wait!
Movie synopsis: While attending a party at James Franco’s house, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and many other celebrities are faced with the apocalypse. Everyone are going to play themselves.
Other cast: James Franco, Jason Segel, Jay Baruchel and Danny McBride.
Via Yahoo: When we think of Rihanna, we envision a rock star in eye-catching couture strutting her stuff onstage belting out “Umbrella.” So when we heard that Rihanna would make her big screen debut as weapons specialist Cora “Weps” Raikes in the action flick “Battleship,” we weren’t sure what to expect. And neither was she. But like a true professional, Rihanna tackled the project with all she’s got– she upped her fitness regimen and swapped those 5-inch stilettos for a wig, some tattoos, and fatigues. We headed to Pearl Harbor (where much of the film was shot) to catch up with Rihanna for her take on this new endeavor: what shocked her, the intense training she endured and why the whole experience really humbled her.
Only a few more days until the year’s biggest aliens-at-sea adventure movie “Battleship” sails into theaters in the United States. In addition to the intrigue surrounding the sheer spectacle of the film and the very attractive cast, the Peter Berg-directed tentpole features the highly anticipated motion-picture debut of pop superstar Rihanna.
In the film, Rihanna plays the no-nonsense, tough-as-nails Petty Officer Cora “Weps” Raikes, who delivers one of the film’s more memorable one-liners, as well as a believably badass performance. When MTV News caught up with the “Where Have You Been” singer in Hawaii recently, they asked if she looked to any specific action movies or actresses for inspiration.
“There were a few — I won’t name them, but there were a few,” Rihanna admitted of studying other badass onscreen ladies. “[They were] mostly actresses I looked to and looked up to and embodied their characters and tried to see how they would approach the action. I watched a lot of bad bitches,” she said with a smile.
In looking ahead toward a potential acting career, Rihanna said she doesn’t have a specific five-year-plan, but she hopes to be able to explore more opportunities as they come her way.
“You can’t plan for anything, the unknown really. I hadn’t done anything in acting so I didn’t feel like it was appropriate to have any plan,” she said. “I didn’t know if I would like it or be good at it. I really enjoyed the experience and I want to do more, try different types of roles so that I can see what I excel in most or like best.”
Watch videos from the interview:
“I got a few scripts, actually,” Rihanna says of film opportunities she received before she took on “Battleship.” (watch)
“Acting was a whole different, for me, a whole different world,” Rihanna says of acting in films versus acting in music videos. (watch)
“I watched a lot of bad bitches,” Rihanna says of emulating other actresses she admired before delving into her role in “Battleship.” (watch)
