You'd better save your "best" - it can't be too long from now: everyone will realize how much of a flop "Battleship" is/was, as Rihanna will MOST CERTAINLY be "the face" of that $450-Million disaster-at-sea!

Oh, not to 'pour salt water in the wounds', but did you notice the OVER 50% DECLINE in "Battleship" 'Overseas Box Office Returns' as "The Avengers" made its debut run? The.."Avenger buzz" has only multiplied since last week..!!

So 'B'ship' has now returned $170.9-Million from overseas. It has NO new markets to open in, and is now running into the "perfect" storm:

1.) Just horrible reviews; and worse-still: "Battleship is nothing more than a Transformers rip-off" word-of-mouth.
2.) The realization that it indeed cost, an incredible, OVER $250-Million to produce, and an even more staggering $450-Million in "get-to-theaters" cost.
3.) The aforementioned "The Avengers" which is now, only going into its 2'nd weekend, is projected to do $500-Million, come this Monday's tally.

Rihanna now being the "$450-Million face-of-failure" - AS SHE IS THE FACE OF "BATTLESHIP" - is now added to her growing list of "Rihanna-is-too-toxic-to-be-near":

1.) Chris Brown - Only his talents, energies, and God's mercy saved him!
2.) "Rated R" - For never before, had so many, given "so much" to the one; and, 'never before', had THAT one disappointed, the many, as badly!!
3.) Matt Kemp - His "when-seen-with-Rihanna-in-2010-saw-him-fail" taught him to keep any consorting with her under the tightest-of-wraps.
