Rihanna loses movie gig to Ora

Singer Rihanna has reportedly lost out on a movie role to pop rival Rita Ora due to scheduling difficulties.

The Umbrella hitmaker was tipped for a part in upcoming blockbuster The Fast And The Furious 6 but her hectic workload forced movie bosses to look elsewhere.

R.I.P. singer Ora will reportedly replace the Bajan beauty to play a villain in the new car-chase action movie starring Vin Diesel and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Rihanna impressed movie bosses with her role in Battleship. But schedules didn't work out and Rita really shone during castings. They loved her look and her attitude."
