What’s my name?

Drake and Rihanna of course. Their chemistry is on fire. Red hot. The song recently leapt from 60-1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The second single from the pop star’s fifth album Loud marks her eighth Hot 100 No. 1 over her career and third this year following “Rude Boy” and “Love the Way You Lie” with Eminem. The island-infused tune debuts at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart with sales of 235,000 downloads. Additionally, the track earned Airplay Gainer on Radio Songs with a 30 percent increase in audience.

RiRi also holds the No. 4 spot on the Hot 100 with ‘Only Girl (In the World),’ while Far East Movement’s “Like a G6” lands at No. 2, Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are” charts at No. 3, and Ke$ha’s “We R Who We R” drops 1-5.

The red-headed singer’s collaborator Drake has reason to celebrate as well, earning his first No. 1 on the Hot 100. His mixtape So Far Gone, single ‘Best I Ever Had‘ peaked at No. 2 last year.

That slumdog millionaire Bollywood flow…

Akshay Kumar is set to work with Drake and also Ludacris. The actor and musician are joining forces on a music video for Akki’s upcoming flick, Breakaway, and the Grammy award winning rapper is currently in Canada to work with Akshay on the project. “It’s going to be very exciting to collaborate with Ludacris. It’s great to work with such big artists from across the globe,” Akshay told the Times of India

Directed by Robert Lieberman, Breakaway is an English-Punjabi comedy that tells the story of South Asian immigrants and how they adapt to a new life in a new country.

According to the buzz, Toronto based actor Vinay Virmani and 10000 BC actress Camilla Belle have allegedly signed on for the lead roles, while Akshay has roped in Canadian comedian Russell Peters, as well as Hollywood hunk Rob Lowe, most known nowadays for his role on the hit TV series Brothers & Sisters. Cast and crew have started shooting in Toronto and the movie will hopefully hit theaters sometime next year.

And Ludacris, who most recently was featured on Justin Bieber’s smash hit single ‘Baby,’ is not the only international singer who has been roped in for the production! Anupam Kher took to Twitter the other day to talk about his on-set encounter with Drake! “Filming with Drake, the biggest name in Hip Hop. Breakaway rocks,” he tweeted.

Set to be released 15 September 2011 in Canda.
