Brooklyn got to spend some time with Rihanna on the set of Battleship, and like most other human beings we know, found herself getting a tad jealous of ol’ RiRi.

“I was a little jealous of Rihanna’s guns,” Brooklyn told us. “I wish I could have shot a few more guns because that was pretty cool, I was very impressed with her gun skills.”

Being the bitter hacks that we are, we always like it when people say “Oh yeah she’s beautiful and clever and talented, but she’s actually a horrible human being.” No such luck with Rihanna.

“She’s great,” Brooklyn went on. “We actually didn’t get to do a ton of scenes together, but the little time we had together – she’s just fantastic. She was game for anything and ready to just show up and work, and that’s what I respect most about her.”

Whilst in Sydney promoting Battleship yesterday, Brooklyn posed for a portrait session, and she looked cute in a t-shirt with a photo of a young Peter Berg (Battleship director) on it!

A new poster for What To Expect When You’re Expecting has been released, and it shows 5 of the main female characters with their bumps, and 4 of the male cast with their new babies. Check it out below:

Brooklyn attended the premiere of Battleship in Sydney earlier today, wearing a floor length J. Mendel dress and Jimmy Choo shoes. Check out our first batch of photos from the event in the Gallery!

Brooklyn Decker: ‘It took Andy five months to woo me’

Though she initially ignored tennis star Andy Roddick’s requests for a date, top model Brooklyn Decker soon realised she’d found her perfect match. And now she’s got her man, her heart’s set on combining a family with a film career

In the world according to top model turned actress Brooklyn Decker, she is ‘just an ordinary girl from North Carolina’. In the world according to me, sitting in a suite of a beachside Santa Monica hotel opposite this 5ft 11in creature, all startling sky-blue eyes and Angelina pout, she is anything but ordinary. From the cute choppy hair and the bright white smile to the Valentino kitten heels, Brooklyn Decker, it has to be said, is also a whole lot more California than Carolina.

Married to tennis superstar Andy Roddick, Brooklyn was perhaps previously best known for sitting courtside, cheering on her husband at tournaments around the world. Male fans will be aware of her frequently topping ‘sexiest woman alive’ polls and landing one of modelling’s most prestigious assignments – the cover of Sports Illustrated, one of America’s most widely read magazines. She has long had the sort of online fanbase and professional clout that equals a very healthy bank balance, but not the job satisfaction she craved, and the SI cover would be her last modelling assignment. ‘I loved the travel but I didn’t love the work,’ she confesses candidly, rolling her eyes. ‘I mean, come on, modelling is only so stimulating!’

It is fair to assume, given the above CV, her physical attributes and her personal connections, that Brooklyn would have had a head start in the frenzied competitive jungle that is Hollywood. But, as every model turned actress will testify, it takes more than the perfect Cali-look and a famous husband to impress agents and casting directors, who have their pick of the world’s most beautiful women. ‘I auditioned for two or three years and didn’t get anything. Then I started getting a couple of TV shows and finally my first movie,’ says Brooklyn, referring to the comedy Just Go With It, in which she starred alongside Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston (moviegoers may remember the ‘bikini-off’ scene where Jennifer infamously held her own against the 24-year-old Brooklyn). Praised by critics for her ‘natural allure’, she’ll soon be seen starring opposite Rihanna, Alexander Skarsgard, Taylor Kitsch and Liam Neeson in Battleship, the splashiest $200-million sci-fi blockbuster of the year.

Continuing her worldwide Battleship promotional duties, Brook was yesterday in Seoul, South Korea. She looked classy in red Katie Ermilio at the press conference, and then showed off her racy and lacy side in femme d’armes at the red carpet premiere. Another two amazing looks from Ms Decker! Check out our first batch of photos from both events in our Gallery, and find videos from them further down this post.

Brooklyn will most likely be attending the Sydney premiere for the movie next Tuesday, and I expect there will be an LA premiere in the coming weeks too.
