First Look: Rihanna On the Set of 'Battleship'

Looks like they're filming Battleship already. Either that or Rihanna's new music video will look suspiciously like Peter Berg's new board game hijacking/alien invasion flick. Here she is on the set in Louisiana, courtesy - not surprisingly - of RihannaPhotos.org. As you can see, she's in the Navy, an experience The Village People touted 30-odd years ago, albeit for different reasons. And yes, if you're new to all of this, director Peter Berg, who is an avowed Naval history buff, is taking Battleship the board game and turning it into an aquatic Independence Day. It's hard not to ridicule the concept because it just seems to be two ill-fitting pieces. I'm certain we'll get emphatic dialogue like "But 75% of the Earth's surface is water!" and "Don't you realize what could happen if they infect the water!?!", which would segue into an environmental message. Think about it: A closing credits shot featuring the filthy North Pacific gyre. Powerful stuff -- we are the invaders, and we don't even know it! More Rihanna:
