Rihanna has added another job to her resume…acting! Rihanna has signed on to star in Universal’s Battleship alongside Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) and Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights). Director Peter Berg is expected to beging shooting the film soon (which is based on Hasbro’s combat-style boardgame). Battleship is scheduled to be released on May 25, 2012 which takes place across the seas, over the skies and land in a battle for planet survival against a superior force. Congrats to Rihanna!
