Rihanna snags Battleship movie debut

It's been announced that Rihanna has scored her first movie role, in the upcoming "Battleship", which is inspired by the Hasbro board game.

Rihanna lucked out with this one - the action war film will also star True Blood hottie Alexander Skarsgard, lucky girl.

Reportedly the plot will centre around "a fleet of ships forced to fight an alien force and thwart the extraterrestrial invaders' destruction of Earth."

No word yet on what role Rihanna will be playing, but the movie's expected to be released May 2012.
