"XYZ shutup"

Nope.

"There are actual actors..you know Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch in this blockbuster film."

Tell me this, between Rihanna, Liam Neeson, and Taylor Kitsch, WHO's the bigger/best known as far as "name/facial recognition"..?? A-DUH..!! Rihanna's, of course..!!!

"The demo of this film is similar to that of the Transformer films..Rihanna's fanbase has nothing to do with it."

^^^DUMBEST STATEMENT YET in this post/thread. With $450-Million "on the line", the only reason she's in the film HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HER DEMOGRAPHIC..!!! In other words, I guess YOU think you know better than the "Battleship" producers who have now sunk $450-Million into this film, yes?

More proof to reveal your idiocy: during her recent "Battleship" promotion event, the one in which Rihanna didn't want to talk about her personal life. The ITV reporter even made mention the fact that she had millions of twitter fans and them possibly coming out to support the film.

As said, "Battleship" is projected to do $125-Million domestic U.S. . But with its budget now inflated to $450-Million, in order for it to NOT TO FAIL, it has to return $527.5-Million from foreign screens.

..THATS JUST OVER ONE-HALF BILLION DOLLARS..!! (with Europe now slowing, with some parts now forecast to drift into recession, that'll mean the dollar increasing. "Battleship" producers will take another hit when exchanging those monies BACK into U.S. dollars)

(Again..) Of A-L-L the actors in this film, it's Rihanna who has the biggest, easily identifiable name AND face. Rihanna is NOT an actor, nor even an aspiring actor. She was given this role by the producers, who'd then hoped for HER fans would then support this film. If it fails, as all indications suggests it will - EPICALLY, BIBLICALLY SO - who better than someone who is NOT an actor, someone who you'll never again work with in a film to THEM blame; who else will then be more, or as convenient? Rihanna, of course.

Rihanna will be the very face of a $450-Million failure. There's no way you, Camp-Fenty, will spin your way out from under this fact - I WON'T LET YOU..!!!

It comes in "3s": bad-luck, plagues, and failure:

1.) Matt Kemp will again fail, as he did in 2010 - ONLY BECAUSE HE'S STILL with Rihanna. They spent 2012 New Years together, there's pictures of them together - I have them; that Ashton Kutcher (sp?) situation was only a rouse to deflect attention away from the most obvious. When Matt Kemp again fails, 'yours truly' be on those L.A. Dodger fan blogs to remind them, with evidence/pictures in hand, of just WHO is responsible for their failure: !!!RIHANNA..!!!!

2.) Nicki Minaj now elbowing Rihanna off the Pop-culture landscape in Europe, as she did here, in the U.S. (see "Pink Friday" jumping 96-places on the U.K. Top-100 Chart from the mere mention of her coming London tour dates)!!

3.) Rihanna being T-H-E VERY FACE of a $450-Million FAILURE! Geez, I wonder what THAT will do to her "brand" and any future endorsement deals?
