Fingers crossed it's true that Rihanna is in negotiations to play a villain in Fast and the Furious 6.

Because if she does take the role, it'll probably mean she's gonna have some kickass fight scenes with one of the toughest chicks out there...

Mixed martial arts champ Gina Carano is close to signing on to join Vin Diesel, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Paul Walker in the sixth installment of the blockbuster action franchise.

"It looks really positive and I'm so excited," Carano, 30, confirmed to me me earlier today while promoting the DVD and Blu-ray release of her feature film debut, director Steven Soderbergh's action thriller Haywire.

While Carano said she doesn't know if the Rihanna "rumor is true," she's as hopeful as we are.

"I would love to see me and Rihanna go at it," she said. "That would be hot."

It sure would be.

Just as her fight scenes with Channing Tatum and Michael Fassbender were in Haywire.

Funny enough, Carano says she still hasn't seen Fassbender's now legendary full frontal work in Shame.

"I've never been asked about something as much as I have than about Michael's penis," she laughed. "I feel bad for him. What an awful thing to have to deal with."

Believe us, Gina, it's so not awful.
