Rihanna Films Mini-Movie For ‘Elle’

Cover girl Rihanna didn’t just shoot a few fashion pics for Elle — she shot a whole mini-movie. The Battleship actress stars in a three-minute mini-movie, which takes place in Havana in 1956. While there’s not much plot, there are plenty of shots of RiRi brooding, posing and dancing to get you to watch the entire thing. (Her sashaying in an apartment as she looks at dancers outside her window immediately reminds us of Madonna doing the same thing in her “La Isla Bonita” video.) But even this cinematic excuse to showcase the pop star in sultry duds might cause some controversy — just like in her “We Found Love” video, Rihanna mirrors her fight with Chris Brown by being depicted fighting with a lover while in a car. “It’s like a drug,” she says, bickering with her co-star. “The passion.” For someone who is apparently over the incident, it sure does pop up a lot in her work.
