Rihanna was seen decked out in a Navy uniform for her role in the upcoming 2012 film ‘Battleship’ yesterday. While we don’t know the name and background of her character, the last name according to the uniform is Raikes. One HQ was added to the gallery.

Choreographer-to-the-stars Luam Keflezgy dished to Niteside on her recent trip to D.C. about working with Rihanna and Kanye, among others, and what it’s like to be the mind behind the moves of celebrities with megawatt starpower.

What celebrities have you worked with?
Rihanna, Kanye West, Dawn Richards, Day 26 and Sophia Fresh, just to name a few.

Who’s been the easiest person to work with and the hardest?
In my experience, it’s always been the situation that makes it great or difficult when working with someone. The best time I’ve had so far was with Rihanna. I’ve choreographed for a few of her albums. She was the first major choreography gig that I had. It was wonderful to see my work on stage in front of thousands of people. The most difficult time was working with Amei, who’s like the Chinese Madonna. I flew all the way to China got there and they were like, “You have 14 dancers not four, all the music is in Mandarin/Chinese and rehearsal starts tomorrow.”

Rumors have been swirling about Rihanna’s new single from her new untitled 5th studio album. The title is supposedly called “Only Girl”. While SRP Records haven’t said much on it, Rih pretty much gave us a hint in a twitter reply to Ryan Seacrest!

Thanks to celebrity-gossip.net, here is a few more photos of Rihanna’s new wax figure by Madame Tussauds that was revealed this morning in Washington, D.C.

Surrounded by a bevy of large umbrellas, Madame Tussauds Washington, D.C., will unveil a wax figure of pop superstar Rihanna, the voice behind the popular tune “Umbrella,” on Aug.31 at 10:30 a.m. The figure unveiling takes place days after the Barbados-born singer saw the figurine for the first time.

Madame Tussauds’ studio artists created Rihanna’s wax figure after studying hundreds of photographs and videos of the stylish star. Rihanna, 22, even donated the edgy, all-black outfit corset, pumps and jeans her figurine dons. Keeping the award-winning entertainer’s fashion trends in mind, the museum added some “bling” to her figure, including a glittering pin on her jacket lapel, a gold and diamond ring, dangling diamond earrings and sparkling tennis bracelet.

Rihanna’s figure will be part of Madame Tussauds Washington D.C.’s Glamour Room, where guests will be able to take photographs with the wax double. Also, fans who visit Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. from Aug. 31-Sept. 30 and mention the word “umbrella” will receive a “Buy One, Get One Free” admission. As an additional incentive, the first 50 fans who attend the figure unveiling and mention the word “umbrella” will also receive a free Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. umbrella.

After storming the American music scene in 2005, Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty has gone on to earn seven No. 1 singles and a Grammy Award in 2008 for “Umbrella.” Earlier this year, she took home two Grammy Awards for “Run This Town.”

Outside the studio, Rihanna is one of Barbados’ honorary cultural ambassador and is an active philanthropist with her Believe Foundation, which she founded in 2006 to help needy and sick children.
