Rihanna is off to London to celebrate her 24th birthday today, and several new snapshots of the R&B hottie in Battleship have hit the web. Ah, something for everyone to celebrate!

RiRi stars opposite Liam Neeson, Alexander Skaarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Taylor Kitsch in the upcoming action flick, and this marks her first major film role. Rihanna said in a recent interview, "I love doing movies now. It's something I want to do more of. I just want to pick films that are wise for me and roles that I can pull off, nothing that is too big for me."

Battleship hits theaters on May 18 ... we'll be watching!
