RIHANNA TO TAKE A BREAK FROM MUSIC: 5 THINGS SHE CAN DO OTHER THAN HANG WITH CHRIS BROWN

Rihanna has a lot on her plate: She has a brand new clothing line, a sold-out tour, and a new hit album. Not to mention, a boyfriend who likes to hit.

So it's only fair she takes a break. According to Ryan Seacrest — who said on his morning show, "She's been in this go mode for a while... But sources say after this tour wraps, she plans to take up to a year off to unwind."

So, what is a girl to do who has worked nonstop for almost 10 years? Besides hang on the beach with her loser boyfriend, Chris Brown? Who, it turns out — in another classy move — also likes to belittle women. Watch the video below of Brown at a club and see if you can keep your jaw from hitting your desk. We couldn't.

We came up with five ideas guaranteed to keep the Barbadian beauty out of trouble. (It's a total coincidence they also happen to keep her out of Brown's arms.)

1. Create a Match.com account. It's no secret that we're not a fan of Brown, but that doesn't mean we think Rihanna has to be alone. The pop singer has already proven to be savvy when it comes to social media, so why not try online dating? It can't get much worse than her current beau, can it?

2. Learn another language. Or at least some new English words. And preferably a couple that contain more than four letters. If you are a follower of her Twitter or Instagram account, you've seen firsthand how the 25-year-old likes her profanity. She might be pretty, but that's not.

3. Do a duet with Vin Diesel. Please tell us you saw the video of theFast & Furious star — who has sang in a couple of his movies — belting out "Stay." If not, we've added it below for your viewing pleasure. The only thing that could have made it better was if he was singing it live with Rihanna. Come on, you'll have the free time soon enough, girl. Make it happen!

4. Work on a new clothing line. Her first-ever fashion collection debuted at London Fashion Week. But unfortunately for the singer, the reviews were not all positive. Or sadly even the majority of them. The line of clothes she designed for River Island was described by some as a "horror." We know she's not a fan of wearing a lot of clothes, but it shouldn't be that hard to design them. Heck, even Jessica Simpsoncan do it. And successfully, we might add.

5. Take up kickboxing. Unlike say knitting or scrapbooking, you know this is one hobby she'll actually use.

What do you think about Rihanna reportedly planning to take a break? What do you think she should do with the time off? Tell us in the comments section below.

'THE MINDY PROJECT' AT PALEYFEST: CHRIS MESSINA IMPRESSIONS AND MORE

The Mindy Project cast ostensibly gathered onstage for a PaleyFest panel at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills on Friday night to talk about the first season of their delightful Fox comedy. But in addition to talk of casting, writing, and running the show, a good chunk of time was simply dedicated to making fun of Chris Messina, complimenting Chris Messina, hitting on Chris Messina and impersonating Chris Messina. In short, it was hilarious.

Messina was a man of few words, mostly ceding stage time to his chattier castmates (so they could tell stories about him and perfect their New York-y impressions of him). Since that doesn't really translate to print, you can take our word that everyone on the cast has a Messina impression — all with varying degrees of accuracy.

Aside from poking fun at arguably the most lovable cast member,Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, Ed Weeks and the rest of the main cast did manage to share some juicy tidbits of information. Here's what else we learned from the panel:

On leaving The Office:
It was "so hard" to exit the show Kaling had worked hard on, but her own show was too good an opportunity to pass up, Kaling says. But leaving such a tight-knit group of people has its perks: "I knew all of them so well, which is why they come on the show," she says. Expect to see more Dunder Mifflin-ites pop up throughout the show's run, along with the ones we've seen already. B.J. Novak will be back for at least one more episode in Season 1, Kaling confirmed.

On the magic of Mark Duplass:
Duplass will be back for at least two more episodes. In addition to the next new episode (which was screened before the panel), Duplass just shot an episode in which he gets intimate with Messina. It's an indie-movie-lover's dream: Messina in a Speedo and Duplass in a singlet wrestling on the beach together. "They're submitting it to Sundance," Barinholtz joked. Speaking of Mindy's exes, Tommy Dewey will return for more episodes too.

On Weeks' British charm:
The role of Jeremy Reed was originally envisioned as a "Bradley Cooper type," Weeks says. But after practicing the audition pages in his American accent, his roommate encouraged him to go with his native accent instead. Clearly it worked out, though Kaling jokes she was so mesmerized by Weeks' looks that she invited him to her house for a late night casting couch session and that's how he got the role.

On Nurse Beverly:
Now that Beth Grant has re-joined the cast full time, we'll learn more about the curmudgeonly character. She's had many different boyfriends of varying ethnic backgrounds, Grant says. At one point, she was engaged to the recently convicted Drew Peterson, Kaling and Barinholtz joke.

On Danny and Mindy's chemistry:
The writers' room is very divided between wanting Mindy and Danny to get together and wanting to watch their friendship blossom some more, Barinholtz says. Obviously no one would hint at which way it goes, but they did note that the Season 2 pickup didn't change how they're writing the rest of the season.

As for her non-Mindy-related projects, Kaling confirmed that she'd just read the script for the finale of The Office, which she's shooting in a few days, and that she plans to spend her summer hiatus writing another book.

SXSW: 'SCENIC ROUTE' IS THE ULTIMATE ROAD TRIP GONE AWRY

What Open Water did for scuba diving with your spouse, Scenic Route should do for road trips in the desert with your best friend. Directors/siblings Kevin Goetz and Michael Goetz have made for one of the most intense, effective movie-going experiences of SXSW... and it's only day two. 

RELATED: 'Evil Dead' Takes SXSW On a Grisly, Gory Ride

The premise is simple: two best friends Mitchell and Carter (Josh Duhamel and Dan Fogler, respectively) hit the road to catch up for old times sake. The two have drifted, as adults tend to do, with Mitchell in a stable, if not passion-free marriage and career, and Carter as the aimless slacker. On paper it seems like Duhamel and Fogler are simply playing into their usual archetypes, he the handsome leading man and he the wacky sidekick, but Scenic Road turns it on its head and lets the actors beat the ever-living s**t out of them. Literally. 

In fact, that's exactly how Scenic Route begins. We see two men, one of whom is sporting a Travis Bickle-esque mohawk (Duhamel, in what marks his most daring, impressive performance to date), in the middle of the desert, bloodied and bruised, fighting as dirty as the tattered clothes they are wearing. We haven't yet learned that these two are lifelong friends who have let unkind words and the unforgiving elements get to them. One of them takes a crutch to the other one's temple and everything goes dark. Only, that's not the beginning of the story, or the end for that matter. 

The movie starts, innocently enough, as almost a buddy road trip comedy, but it descends into something else entirely. It is part-jet black comedy, part-horror film, part-moral drama, part-human study, and completely and utterly f**ked up. When we meet Mitchell and Carter moments after that shocking opening sequence, they look completely fine. Even more confusing, Mitchell doesn't have a mohawk. So how do they get there exactly? 

After Carter makes his old truck they're driving through the desert in break down intentionally to spend more quality time with Mitchell, the two not only have to battle the elements (with no food and no water in the desert, which is as unrelenting in the day as it is the night), but each other. With nowhere to go and increasingly mounting tension, the two friends begin to unravel on each other, saying things they can't quite take back.

High emotions, mixed with the delirium of being stranded in the vast desert — who knew wide open spaces could feel so claustrophobic? It sends the men into a tailspin, not only leading to that ill-advised mohawk (the free-spirited Carter somehow convinces the straight-laced Mitchell to get the haircut he always wanted... in the middle of the night, with a blade from a pocket knife) and eventually that vicious, violent fight. 

What happens next, well, I don't want to spoil it for you. But whatever you think happens to these guys after their blood, sweat, and tear-soaked fight doesn't. The last 40 minutes of the movie, fittingly enough, takes a much different road than you thought it would. Somewhere at the intersection of 127 Hours and Buried, you might think you have finally figured out Scenic Route's path, but then it takes its own winding, twisted detour. 

While there are some frustratingly distracting moments (including Carter's inane decision to turn down help when they first break down), the dialogue-heavy feature, which spends most of its running time on the side of a dirt road in the desert, never loses your attention. You hang on these men's every action, every word uttered, determined to find out if they make it out of this journey unscathed. Well, relatively speaking.

A veritable case study in grown men, and their relationships with each other (a few visions of Fight Club danced through my head), Scenic Route will make you no less scared of what nature will do to you as compared to what the ones you love are capable of doing to you. Scenic Route is a movie that crawls under your skin and stays there for a while, thanks largely in part to its haunting ending. 

'HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE' GIVES A FLUFFY FIRST LOOK AT JENA MALONE'S JOHANNA MASON — GALLERY

Almost immediately after the hanger games hit theaters last March, discussions began about which actors would and should take on the characters who'd be introduced in the cinematic chapter to follow,Catching Fire. One of the second story's biggest additions would be Johanna Mason, a complicated character who'd balance somewhere between friend and rival to Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence). The role attracted names like Kristen Bell, Mia Wasikowska, and Zoe Aggeliki, resulting in the divergent fan bases all clamoring to sell their respective choice's superiority. Eventually, Johanna landed in the hands of Jena malone whom we have seen in Donnie Darko, Pride & Prejudice, Sucker Punch, and Hatfields & McCoys.

Malone's casting might have stirred rage in Bell devotees, Wasikowska enthusiasts, and whatever people actually know who Zoe Aggeliki is. But perhaps minds will change now that this first look at Malone's incarnation of Johanna is available — the latest update of the Capitol Couture Portraits gallery features a fluffy, feathery Mason, sporting a white rose and a dead cold look.

KELLY OSBOURNE RUSHED TO HOSPITAL AFTER SEIZURE — UPDATE

Another health scare for the Osbourne family: Apparently Kelly Osbourne was rushed to the hospital on Thursday morning after suffering a seizure during a taping of her E! show, Fashion Police.

According to TMZ, Osbourne was shooting her weekly TV fashion critique when she turned to co-host Melissa Rivers (who was subbing for Giuliana Rancic) and said "I don't feel good" before falling out of her chair and starting to shake. An audience member (who is some sort of emergency responder) ran up to the stage to help.

Osbourne regained consciousness a few seconds later, but TMZ reports that the host's team insisted on hospitalization. A white sheet covered her body as she was removed from the building on a stretcher, and assistants held up white sheets to shield Osbourne from prying cameras.

Sharon and Jack have both suffered health setbacks of their own in recent years: Sharon beat colon cancer a decade ago, while Kelly's younger brother Jack was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012, shortly after the birth of his daughter, Pearl.

UPDATE: Kelly Osbourne fainted on the set of E!’s Fashion PoliceThursday, a rep confirmed to Hollywood.com. She was taken to a local hospital for further testing and is awake, alert and in stable condition. She will be staying overnight for observation as a precautionary measure. There are no further details at this time.

CATE BLANCHETT LOOKS UNIMPRESSED IN WOODY ALLEN'S NEW MOVIE 'BLUE JASMINE' — PIC

Come on, Cate Blanchett, you should be way more excited than this. You're starring in your first Woody Allen film, Blue Jasmine, which just so happens to be his 46th feature. Then again, the movie, which is about a housewife in crisis (possibly Blanchett, by the looks of things) might not be as lighthearted as say, Midnight in Paris.

Still, Woody fans have reasons to smile about Blue Jasmine, as the director has assembled yet another top-notch cast. In addition to Blanchett, there's also Sally Hawkins (pictured with the Oscar-winning actress), Alec Baldwin, Peter Sarsgaard, and making his eagerly anticipated transition to the big screen, Louis C.K.
