Rihanna is making this move in advance of her fifth CD, Loud, being released on Nov. 16th. In the meantime, she’s staying very busy also launching Rihanna Entertainment, a new company that will combine all of her business interests, including music, film, fashon and book ventures.

We can expect to see more great things coming from this talented and enterprising beauty. Can another Rihanna tour be far behind? Check back for more Rihanna news, information about Rihanna tickets, etc.

Rihanna will bring her full world tour with her to Australia, she’ll be playing the same shows she played to sold out crowds in Europe, and is currently playing in the US. The almost 2 hour show will include a few impressive production and set changes, a full band, acrobats, dancers and the required crazy outfits. This has been, and will finish, a truly a fantastic tour.

Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) and Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) will star as brothers “who end up leading the fight for the planet’s survival against and otherwordly force.” The movie will show both sides of the battle between the humans and the aliens. 

The film is to be directed by Peter Berg and is set to release on May 25th of 2012.

Instead, the last girl will be starting things on July 4th in Vancouver, B.C., Canada at General Motors Place. Kind of a bummer, considering that isn’t a holiday for Canadians, but at least the tour will go on, and will still include opening acts Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj.

Refunds are being given at the point of purchase for fans who had Rihanna tickets to the Auburn show. Sorry!
