WHITNEY CUMMINGS AND PETER BERG COULD BOTH USE SOME CHEERING UP

Actor/director Peter Berg, 51, seems to be consoling his girlfriend, comic Whitney Cummings, 30, on the street in the East Village. We didn’t realize that Whitney is 5’11” – nearly as tall as Peter. Whitney had a tough year – her “Whitney” sitcom was cancelled by NBC, and her talk show on “E!” was also cancelled. Of course Peter doesn’t really have a lot to celebrate either – his last directing job was “Battleship.” But they seem happy with each other.

If you’re wondering how Rihanna landed a role in the two hundred million dollar sci-fi movie “Battleship” with Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgard, director Peter Berg explained it all to Vogue. (The movie is about a fleet of ships forced into battling an armada of warships from unknown origins) Berg said he loved her performance on SNL last year and he wanted someone who could be funny and tough at the same time. (It sounds like she got Michelle Rodriguez’s part) It wasn’t easy – Rihanna had to sit behind a machine gun in an inflatable raft in seven foot swells for six hours at a time. Fortunately, Rihanna loves the ocean and had no trouble doing the stunts.
