Rihanna is set to be the musical on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live,” but having appeared on the show twice before, the Talk That Talk singer is hardly an “SNL” newbie.
Not only has Rih dazzled in musical performances, she’s also stirred up more than a few chuckles alongside Andy Samberg’s low-talking character, Shy Ronnie. On a call with reporters on Wednesday (May 2), “SNL” head honcho Lorne Michaels dished that he’s working to get Rihanna into a sketch or two for this episode as well.
“Yes, are hoping so,” Michaels confirmed. “We’ll know [soon]. I wish I could report on everything that’s been written [and] if this were tomorrow, I could,” he explained. “I know that there are a lot of things in the works, but I don’t frankly know how they turned out. And I think it’s our intention.”
Rihanna’s appearance on the show comes ahead of her big-screen acting debut in the action blockbuster “Battleship,” which opens May 18.
At a recent Skype session with Blackfilm.com, and other journalists, Rihanna spoke about her film debut, working with Peter Berg, and making the transition from music to film.
What characteristics do you share with your character?
RIHANNA: I think mostly being one of the boys. I really liked that. I was used to that, growing up with my brothers, and all my cousins. It was rarely any girls around, and I guess I didn’t feel out of place.
Did all of your video acting help this process? Or was it totally new, learning marks and timing?
RIHANNA: I thought it would help. But little did I know, it was a completely different beast. It was brand new, and it was a whole different experience. It was a much bigger set. I had to use dialog and I never really use that in my videos; it’s usually just me acting to a track, a musical track. So that was different. Having an accent, too.
You guys shot portions of the movie on site of an actual Navy vessel. So in between those scenes, were you able to have any fun, like on, during your downtime?
RIHANNA: I think, I don’t know about fun. I was really locked in to the character. We went to the beach a couple of times, but most of the fun was on set, doing the actual shooting, and using the weapons. That was some of my favorite parts, all the stunts and the fighting scenes. Those were my favorite parts. So that, most of the fun was actually the work.
You could have chose any role to be your first movie. What attracted you to this role?
Rihanna tells Cambio that the atmosphere on the set of “Battleship” wasn’t just work hard, but play hard too.
“[Director/Producer] Peter Berg is a lot of fun. He’s wild. It spreads all the way down through his film and crew all the way back to the cast,” she says. “We played pranks on each other constantly.”
Emmy winner Jake Hamilton travels to Hawaii to talk with the stars of “Battleship” — Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Alexander Skarsgard and Brooklyn Decker.
Extra’s Renee Bargh headed to Hawaii to talk with singer Rihanna about her acting debut in the action-packed summer movie “Battleship” — and how the pop singer is playing by her own rules.
She released two remixes with her ex, Chris Brown, earlier this year that had everyone talking, but Rihanna explained:
“Doing what you want means moving forward with the way you feel and living your truth… sometimes there are a lot of people who won’t agree with you, but it has to be your truth.”
Rihanna also laughed about her mother’s sense of humor regarding her daughter’s rumored love life:
“I took a picture with someone at the TIME 100 gala and I showed her, and she said, ‘Oh I thought it was Ashton! I thought it was Mr. Kutcher!’ She’s funny. She’s crazy. I love my mom.”
As for her big debut in “Battleship,” Rihanna still thinks it’s “weird” being called an actress:
“That doesn’t even sound right. That’s so, so weird to hear actress next to my name.” Rihanna plays a Navy cadet who must battle an armada of unknown origin in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals. The songstress said: “I never thought that I would have had these experiences, you know, shooting the weapons and all that cool stuff, especially not in my first movie.” On training for the role, the “We Found Love” singer said she paid “close attention” to her diet, but now, “I’m not careful with what I eat, because I’m trying to gain weight… just a little bit.”
Rihanna has released a sexy new video, “Where Have You Been.” She explained:
“Nothing about this video is raunchy. It’s all thematic, very artistic. There’s more dancing than there been for a long time, so that should be exciting and new for my fans.”
Check out Rihanna’s kick-ass moves when “Battleship” docks in theatres May 18.

Rihanna’s dating life is known to make just as many headlines as her music, as well as her blossoming movie career – but the star tells Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson that’s she’s single.
“I am a bachelorette,” the 24-year-old revealed at the “Battleship” junket in Hawaii. “Still eligible?” Shaun asked. “Yes,” the singer-turned-actress said. So what does Rihanna want in a potential beau? “A guy that smells good,” she explained. “If I see you and look good, chances are you won’t turn my head. I will look away… but if you smell good, I will whip my neck around! [A guy] can’t leave until I figure out what [he’s] wearing.” Luckily for future men in the superstar’s life, she’s about help out guys who might not smell up to par. “I am making my own male fragrance,” she told Shaun. “I want dudes to smell like [when] you wake up, you know that smell… their cologne is a little bit old… you spray it on their jackets and take it with you just to keep them there, that it smells cozy and it smells sexy.” When it comes to her big screen debut, the star was a bit rattled upon hearing herself. “I hate to hear myself speak,” Rihanna explained. “Especially because I was speaking in an American accent… but I guess I’ve always been like that. I hate to hear myself speak, so now it’s a whole different thing. I have to get used to it.” Rihanna also cleared up recent remarks she gave to Rolling Stone, where she stated she liked being submissive, at times, in a relationship. “I think, not all women, because I can’t speak for all women, but girls like me, women like me – we’re into that,” she explained. Adding, “Not like we have to be submissive. We can totally take charge of the relationship. We just let them wear the pants. We let them borrow the pants, so that they can feel good and in turn we feel better.
“Battleship” – with Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard and Brooklyn Decker — blasts into theaters on May 18.
