UNDATED (CBS) -- Rihanna celebrates the release of her new album with a grueling world tour and two Hollywood icons are remembered.

Rihanna is about to wrap up her whirlwind world tour. The singer embarked on her "777" tour last Wednesday in Mexico, and is playing seven shows in seven days in seven different countries. Naturally, she's flying on a Boeing 777. Rihanna's new album "Unapologetic" is out tomorrow.

Playboy is honoring its first cover girl Marilyn Monroe with its latest issue. The magazine is marking the 50th anniversary of the blond bombshell's death.

Monroe died in 1962. She's buried at the Westwood Cemetery in Los Angeles. Just as the movies made her a legend, her face and nude body launched Playboy, the magazine and the empire.

The stars came out the honor another 1950's icon who is getting his turn as the star of a film. The premiere of "Hitchcock" was held last night in New York.

The film tells the story of the Alfred Hitchcock and his wife and partner, Alma Reville. The film is described as a love story, set during the production of his seminal film, "Psycho." "Hitchcock" stars Anthony Hopkins as the master of suspense.

And new on DVD tomorrow, The Expendibles 2. The over-the-top action film stars a who's who of action heroes, including Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. There's some kind of plot involving revenge and weapons-grade plutonium, and lots of big explosions.
