The star of a sci-fi flick "Battleship" and pop artist Rihanna is excited to learn that she would be performing with these equally-great players in the said music awards.

So thrilled Riri was that she tweeted a message in all capital letters, "PHUCK YES I WILLLL!!! JUST FOR MY NAVY!!!!" Her Twitter announcement was followed by a string of re-tweets her fans posted about her upcoming MTV awards performance.

Not only will the Bajan songstress have an opportunity to carry out her talent in the music ceremony, but she is indeed also proud to be nominated in 5 music categories which include Video of the Year and Best Female Video.

On Thursday, September 6, the MTV VMAs will go on air starting 8 P.M. ET. The show will be hosted by well-known American actor and stand-up comedian Kevin Hart. He starred on Comedy Central's 2009 TV series as a sorcerer named Zezelryck.
