 Tom Cruise has signed up to play aging musician Stacee Jaxx in the big screen adaption of the hit musical Rock of Ages, and director Adam Shankman is sure his performance is going to impress everyone.

The actor has been taking voice lessons for his role and has been studying the '80s rock songs in the musical to make sure he gets everything right.

Adam told Access Hollywood: “I think we’re going to see him every drop the rock ‘n’ roll god! I’m very excited. He’s so committed to doing it. He’s pouring himself in this part in a way I’ve never had an actor do … it’s pretty intense.”

Tom Cruise will have to perform several songs in the film, including Styx’s "Renegade," Bon Jovi’s "Wanted Dead or Alive" and a duet of Foreigner’s "I Want To Know What Love Is," possibly with Anne Hathaway, who is set to play the character Sherrie.

Shankman also confirmed rumors Russell Brand is in talks to join the cast as Lonny, the manager of The Bourbon rock club, while Alec Baldwin is set to play Lonny’s boss Dennis.

He added: “We are talking to Alec Baldwin and there may be some Russell Brand. I can only say at this point that there may be, because the deals aren’t closed.”

Report: Rihanna and Ryan Phillippe Have been Hooking Up for Months

Report: Rihanna and Ryan Phillippe Have been Hooking Up for Months

 Apparently the actor's three-month romance with Amanda Seyfried was just a friends with benefits thing... rumor has it he's had his eyes on Rihanna all along! (Photo By Bauer Griffin)

 

It seemed that the Ryan Phillippe-Amanda Seyfried romance fizzled out quickly, but the fire couldn't have been that hot...if rumors are true that the actor has been courting Rihanna for months!

"They initially hooked up when things were strained with [Rihanna's ex] Matt Kemp back in early December," a Rihanna source told Us. "She thinks he's hot."

Most recently, we heard that Rihanna totally blew off the actor, but their interaction after a recent LA luncheon begs the opposite: "They totally had sex. And it wasn't even the first time!" the source says.

The two reconnected at a charity event last week and then her recent birthday bash, but they are keeping things incognito...for now.

An attendee at the birthday party said: "They hung out a bit, but were discreet. It is still very casual." Another source added: "Clearly they're keeping it on the downlow!"

Janet Jackson Brings the Quotes of the Day

Janet Jackson Brings the Quotes of the Day

“A lot of the women today are under eating. Some of the stories I hear… I’m not going to name names (but) this is the worst. Eating tissue, Kleenex, so it fills the stomach. So you’re full. So you don’t want another bite to eat and so that’s what you eat.

I was told at a very young age on Good Times that I needed to go on a diet, I was only 11, 12. I look back on those shows and I wasn’t a heavy kid. And like I said, some people can brush it right off but others, they internalise it. That was me.”

… says Janet Jackson in an interview for CNN.

Lady Gaga Brings the Quote of the Day

“I am on the drunk diet. I live my life as I want to, and creatively. I like to drink whiskey and stuff while I am working.

“The deal is, I’ve got to work out every day, and I work out hungover if I am hungover. And it’s about the cross-training and keeping yourself inspired. I have to say, I do a ton of yoga.”

… says Lady Gaga.

Malin Akerman Stops by “The Late Late Show”

Malin Akerman Stops by “The Late Late Show”

Stepping out for a media appearance, Malin Akerman was spotted at “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” last night (February 22).

The “Heartbreak Kid” actress looked lovely in a green dress as she chatted with the talk show host about her continually rising career.

In related news, Malin recently discussed her role in “Inferno” (she replaced Lindsay Lohan), especially the sexual subject matter surrounding the life of her character Linda Lovelace.

Akerman explained, “I’ll go as far, as long as it’s not gratuitous, if it makes sense for the story. It’s a lot more about her, she had a very tortuous life. It’s a lot more behind the scenes of her and her husband’s relationship.”
