Rihanna 'Weirded Out' By Her American Accent In 'Battleship'
Singer says the finished film is of a 'completely different magnitude' than what she expected.

Given the colorful theatrics Rihanna employs in her stage performances, music videos and personal style, it's difficult to believe that her first-ever movie role is in this summer's "Battleship". The Caribbean-born singer admitted that filling her in the Peter Berg-directed film made her nervous in the beginning.
"I had trepidation. It was my first film, and I was coming into an environment full of professionals so I had to keep up," Rihanna said during our "MTV First: Battleship." "There were also real [military] vets on set, [who were] a part of the film, so you're definitely [minding] your P's and Q's at all times, you don't want to do anything that was disappointing to their customs."
Being back on the USS Missouri (where they filmed scenes for the movie) for "First" reminded the singer of the nervous energy she had on set.
"The butterflies, that nervous feeling I have being here again," she said. "You're not comfortable, you have to be alert all the time."
So the big question: What did the singer/actress think when she saw the finished film and her performance for the first time? "I was extremely blown away," she said. "I hadn't expected anything like that, because you have to create it in your mind, everyone had their own idea of what it would look like and seeing it back, it was a completely different magnitude. I definitely was weirded out in seeing myself onscreen, and hearing myself speak in an American accent," she admitted. "It was weird but cool I think."
Check out everything we've got on "Battleship."

Lenovo's Eedoo CT510 motion gaming console to finally hit China, wants your $600
Product delays that push back release dates a full year are never good. What's worse? When that product finally does launch and even someone inside the company votes against it. That's exactly what's going down with the CT510 GameBox, the Eedoo Kinect competitor for the Chinese market. Though it's gone through a fair share of reincarnations before arriving at its current config (it was formerly known as the eBox), the final package has a dual-core CPU, a minimum of 250GB in HDD storage and a 3D GPU, and comes pre-installed with eight games and ten apps. All told, it will cost a cool 3,799 yuan ($600) when it ships on April 29th -- some very ambitious pricing, considering that the imported Xbox with Kinect (the console isn't officially available in China) already sells for about $459 in China, according to M.I.C. Gadget. A director from the Lenovo-backed company seems to agree: in a Sina Weibo poll asking users whether they'd buy the product (pictured after the break), he selected the answer, "No way! Price-to-performance ratio too low." Though to be fair, the gentleman later clarified that it was an honest mistake, and that his company is targeting the high-end family users instead of the core gamers. Well, we shall let the sales figures do the talking.

Reuters: Apple in talks to stream films owned by Epix, no deal expected before September
It's reasonably well known at this point that Apple is looking to line up partnerships for some sort of a streaming video service. We've heard again and again that it's coming, so get ready to hum along with that 'ol tune one more time. Reuters is reporting that Apple has been in negotiations with Epix since earlier this year, hoping to secure access to films from Lions Gate, MGM and Paramount Pictures. There's no indication of when such a service might come to light, but Reuters indicates the company's current deal with Netflix, which expires on September 1st, could be a conflict (though that hasn't stopped Google TV in the past). So, no proper Apple-branded TV until the fall? Stay tuned...
