Tom Cruise & Justin Theroux both went solo to ‘Rock of Ages’ LA premiere: odd?

Tom Cruise

The Los Angeles premiere of Rock of Ages took place at Grauman’s Chinese theater on Friday night, which is a strange time to hold a premiere because it’s not a great time to maximize the resulting press coverage. Hence the fact that this post is arriving on Sunday instead of the morning after the fact, but there will likely be a New York premiere as well next week to look forward to as well.

Tom Cruise walked the red carpet without wife Katie Holmes on his arm. Seems strange, right? Maybe she really is upset by his sexy W mag photoshoot, or maybe they’re still at odds over her betrayal at his broken promises. Nahhh, let’s be perfectly frank and just assume that the Katiebot is lounging on a recharger somewhere, and she’ll probably surface (at the very least) for the NYC premiere. Because I refuse to believe that Katie isn’t required to support Tom for his big serious rock star moment.

As for Tom, he’s freaking me out here as usual, but he seems pretty amped up in comparison to the recent MI4 promotional tour. To be perfectly honest, Tom’s smile on the red carpet looked really manic. While he wasn’t quite to the level of his full-on crazy 2005 self, he came pretty close.

Tom also posed with Bret Michaels of Poison as well. I know Bret has already publicly taken credit for Tom’s take on the Stacee Jaxx character, but I think Tom’s Stacee is truly a hybrid of many different hair band rockers. Plus there’s that monkey (Hey Man) sidekick too.

Tom Cruise

Justin Theroux was there all by his lonesome as well. While it’s true that he and Jennifer Aniston usually walk the red carpet separately, they usually at least attend each other’s events. That doesn’t seem to be the case any longer, for Justin didn’t accompany Jen to last week’s MTV Movie Awards where she (drunkenly?) accepted her “Dirtbag” award, and now she’s absent at the premiere for a big budget musical for which he wrote the screenplay. Strange. Anyway, Kaiser wanted me to mention that Justin’s “metrosexual, tweaked, tanned and plucked look has definitely been toned down” at this event in comparison to the Wanderlust premiere. Justin looks good here, and I like that thing he does with his eyebrows.

Justin Theroux

Russell Brand was his usual weird self on the red carpet. I love that he always just dresses like himself regardless of the venue. Whether he’s testifying in front of Parliament or hitting the yoga studio, his look is always pure Rusty.

Alec Baldwin was in attendance with Hilaria Thomas, who wore a really cool skirt.

Gene Simmons did something strange to Eli Roth in front of the cameras. This tongue gesture means nothing, right? Just two nice Jewish boys spending Shabbat together. Or something like that.

Diego Bonita: I know I’ve said this before … but I still don’t get it.

Diego Bonita

Derek Hough and his very prominent bulge were also in attendance.

Derek Hough

Director Adam Shankman was there dressed in all white. He should count his blessings that Tom didn’t do to him what he did to Steven Spielberg on the red carpet.

Ryan Seacrest was there to support girlfriend Julianne Hough! Or maybe he just went with Derek Hough. Whatever the case, if Ryan showed up, then Katie and Jennifer could have bothered as well. Slackers.

    What a f-king mess

    • Maguita says:

      Holy BEDHEAD WTF???

      I don’t know what kind of beans are in your coffee this morning, but mine is all over my screen!

      “Katiebot is lounging on a recharger”

      “Just two nice Jewish boys spending Shabbat together.”

      You don’t usually let your snark show… More please.

    • TheOriginalTiffany says:

      The two coolest people pictured are the little old couple checking Tom out in the first pic.

      Love the flowery mumu! They outshined Tommygirl!

      • velvet says:

        I know right! I thought the same thing. Love the grin on the women’s face.

      • Carolyn says:

        That lady is sooo thinking “OMG that’s Tom Cruise! I’ve loved him since he was Maverick!”. Her genuine smile has me grinning from ear to ear. I like the cheesy “rock on” hand gesture everyone’s doing. PS I guess the absence of their other halves means TommyGirl and Justin are ON? Maybe he’s realised that an alliance with Cruise will give him the career he craves? Aniston is doing nothing for his box office $$ and his credibility.

      • Barbie Doll says:

        @ TheOriginalTiffany, Sooo true about the older couple because they stole the show. The printed design and beautiful colors in the mumu matched her whimsical smile.

  2. Aviva says:

    What a mess. Tom looks like frozen in time. Are we still in the ’90? His big fake smile scares me.

    • corny says:

      another wax museum figure!
      they didn’t need much wax either

    • Susan Curtis says:

      Why is it that TC shows that big awful fake smile and he won’t let Katie show her teeth or smile a real smile anymore. He sucks!!!!

  3. Katalina says:

    Either those are very ill-fitting pants or Theroux has quite a bulge himself, amirite?

    • Choupette says:

      Justin T. is just gross. His clothes are too small, his face is too orange, and his hair is obviously dyed. I do not, not, NOT get his plastic appeal.

      Mr.Tom looks like he is wearing dirty clothes. What is with the workman’s look while promoting films? He couldn’t wear an outfit that is casual while also looking clean?

      • phoenyxthecat says:

        Justin’s suit is also way too long: the pants are really pooled (could just be the boots though) and the jacket sleeves are supposed to show the shirt cuff. Menswear seems to be such a weird ritualistic thing that I doubt he’s trying to break tradition (esp. when he seems to be trying to wear it well)

      • Geekychic says:

        +1!
        I really don’t Get Justin’s appeal.

      • MW says:

        I can’t get past Justin’s weird eyebrow and matching cowlick to even remember what to say about anyone else! Oh, wait — Ryan Seacrest and Derek Hough! Nice of them to be there for Julianne!

    • valleymiss says:

      Replying to Katalina re: the bulge…I vote bulge! I always vote bulge…

  4. mln76 says:

    Well if you believe Katie’s got a 5 yr contract maybe they are starting the phase out-less appearances together along with planted (but laughable)rumors of Cruises dalliances w/models.

  5. Agnes says:

    a mess indeed. tom is looking as insane as ever, and justin is starting to look totally plastic. kudos all around. haha

    • Maguita says:

      HOLD THE PRESSES…

      Tommy Girl is not wearing his lifts on a red carpet!! Am I imagining this?

      • Jovia says:

        You aren’t (imagining). I noticed it, too!

      • Agnes says:

        hmmm… inside lifts perhaps? or did his “sexy” photo shoots give him so much confidence all of a sudden?

      • skuddles says:

        Maybe he decided he didn’t need them without his towering bride at his side? You’re only as short as the person next to you is tall. 😉

      • Maguita says:

        “You’re only as short as the person next to you is tall.”

        LOL, but… wasn’t he afraid of being photographed near crazy Russell, or even worse, Josh Duhamel… I mean, his picture with his wife could have easily been replaced with him tucking Tommy closely to his waist under his armpit!

        … Wait… I would actually pay to see that.

  6. MsGoblin says:

    Check out Russell’s pant’s pocket. Is that an outline of a condom I see?

  7. Hautie says:

    Okay, I love this cleaned up version of Justin Theroux. I love a man in a great suit.

    Dang! Alec Baldwin looks good here, missing those 40 pounds he recently lost. But sadly, he is still a raving maniac.

    I have to admit… I am crushing on Adam Shankman. Love those shoes! And this is how you wear a white suit. With lots of attitude and killer shoes.

    • Jovia says:

      THIS re Shankman. That’s some (Tom Wolfe) style, there. All white. Funky chic. Dapper. Killer shoes indeed!

    • Kara Ann says:

      Completely agree with your post!

      RE: Baldwin – I remember how gorgeous he was on Knot’s Landing. Find him hilarious on 30 Rock and SNL. I believe he’s an arrogant, demanding man but I do appreciate his talent.

      RE: Shankman – Looks so relaxed, confident = sexy

      RE: Theroux – Great look for him. Like the sexy vibe he gives out. Good old fashioned naughty sex…I think it has something to do with the eyebrows. My hubby has an impressive set of eyebrows too!

      • MW says:

        Alec Baldwin — until the day he personally verbally assaults me . . . I’ll give him a pass. I dunno. I’ve always liked him.

  8. Mia 4S says:

    So apparently Katie Holmes is in Taiwan promoting a figure skating event called “Artistry on Ice”. I’m not even kidding. I’m terrible at linking but you can Google it. Total D-list event from the looks of it. So basically she and Tom aren’t even trying anymore LOL!

  9. Gwen says:

    Wow, Alec lost a lot of weight!

  10. Marjalane says:

    Alternate headline:

    Douche festival at Graumans Chinese Theater.

  11. Monie says:

    Damn, Tom’s armpits are sweating through a suede jacket. try Certain Dry or Degree Clinical Strength dude. Yuk!

    • lower-case deb says:

      reminds me of Geechy Guy, the comedian auditioning for last year’s AGT.

  12. Lizzie K says:

    What’s up with Tom’s tooth? One of the front teeth is bigger than the other. Has it been this way a while, and I just didn’t notice? Implant?

    And his forehead is definitely frozen.

    • Val says:

      I noticed that, too. With all of his money, he goes out like that? Even if the short tooth is a temporary crown or something, it looks very odd – and I’m amazed with a premiere coming up, the dental work wasn’t done in time.

    • blinded says:

      his gums might be receding due to wrong teeth brushing. I have the same problem.

    • deep says:

      Tom’s front teeth have always been like that. With all of his money I wonder why he doesn’t get that situation fixed. But, it does seem to be getting worse as he gets older. As they say…a little long in tooth…Ha!

  13. UniqJaz says:

    Tom Cruise does have a manic smile.

    • Rhea says:

      True to that. Poor guy, whenever he smiles big with that expression in his face I can’t help to think the same think.

    • Anne de Vries says:

      Always makes me feel like he wants to eat my eyeballs..

  14. merski says:

    Notice how in the last photo Tom is sweating right through his jacket… I mean, dude, that’s harsh.

  15. Toot says:

    I think the New York premiere of this already happened and Tom didn’t go. That laugh of Tom’s is creepy.

  16. Ailine says:

    I don’t see why people say Tom isn’t aging; he totally is. His face has less fat than it did when he was younger. He is aging pretty well, but he definitely looks older.

    He and Katie are done. She always looks like a wreck and they are never together.

    Justin Theroux’s close up of his face freaks me out; something looks fake.

    • lisa says:

      I think his hair is just too dark. Like Gene Simmons.. it looks dyed even if it is not.

      • Marjalane says:

        Before Jen cleaned him up he was sporting a good sized bald spot and some grey in his hair. Maybe he still has the bald spot- I haven’t seen any shots of his backside.

    • Brigitte says:

      I just can’t remove the frightening image of his short, short skinny legs breakdancing. He has the longest torso attached to the shortest skinniest legs! Very strange looking.

    • deep says:

      Agree..Tom does look a older but IMO he is aging very well. There’s nothing wrong with the way he looks..it’s the way he acts and laughs that freak me out. I have looked at Tom differently ever since the couch jumping. That was right around the time he fired his publicist and put his sister in that position. That was when we got to see the real Tom…his other publicist that he fired kept the “real” Tom at bay. Too bad for him…he ruined it all himself. He should have stuck with the other publicist.

  17. Emma says:

    Derek Hough looks like a morph between Kevin Bacon and Jack Wagner.

  18. lisa says:

    Why were they all doing that dumb hand signal. I saw a picture of Justin doing it too. Is it suppose to be cool or something planned. Planned takes away the cool..

    UGH..

    Tom looks good. I hate the way he dresses for events. I thought this premier would have been bigger. I guess I missed the media coverage of it.

    • TheOriginalTiffany says:

      It’s the sign for RAWK. They look douchey doing it because they aren’t rock stars.
      Invented in Italy to ward off the malocchia, or evil eye. Ronnie James Dio made it into the rock sign in Black Sabbath and it lives on.

      The concert we just did was full of them, but for real:)

      • m0nkie says:

        James Dio was actually holding his guitar pick in his fingers and waving to the crowd… and it just so happened to be in that hand gesture. Then every twist and turn that could come from it…did.

      • OriginalTiffany says:

        I saw him interviewed and that was his own words.

  19. Paloma says:

    Hmmm, what’s the deal with Jennifer? I can understand not stealing Justin’ s thunder on the red carpet, but not showing up?

    • ahoyhoy says:

      I know I’ll get all kinds of shade for saying this, but I’m calling it: if they’re not already broken up, they’re in the process. NO WAY would those shaggy eyebrows be tolerated by the wax-happy Aniston for long.

      • mln76 says:

        Eh I disagree Tommy-boy is the real A-lister. He absolutely has the power to veto Jenny-poo from appearing. If she showed up it would draw more attention to Katie’s absence. Plus I really think JT would rather not be overshadowed on the red carpet hence the constant sourpuss whenever paps catch them out and big grin when he’s solo AS IF he’d get this attention if he wasn’t almost Mr Aniston.

      • Rhea says:

        Nah, I think JA only sulked and refused to come with him when Justin refused to get a tan like the last one at Wanderlust premiere in California. Can’t blame the man if he doesn’t want to be “orange” anymore. 😀

      • valleymiss says:

        I tend to agree with Min76. The only male star who posed with/brought a date was Alec Baldwin, and his date is a commoner (lol), not an actress. I think Cruise told everyone to leave their dates at home…Boys’ Night Out! Lol No seriously, I think he wanted the gossips to be focused on “Where’s Jen?”instead of “Where’s Katie-bot?” He’s doing a classic distraction move as Katie’s contract winds down.

      • pwal says:

        JMO, I think it has less to do with the state of JustJen and more about Rock of Ages box office prospects. I think they’re aiming to promote it as a sleeper. Mind you, the incessant TV ads and Hough/Akerman media tours say different, but maybe now they’re opting for a media pull-back. And Aniston not showing up could aid in that.

      • bluhare says:

        Ahoyhoy: No shade from me. I think so too.

      • lower-case deb says:

        i don’t think they are breaking up. he’s still wearing the justin ring. isn’t it usually a sign when they’re not wearing it, but he’s still wearing it, so i guess they’re still okay.

        (i think jen wore hers to the MTV Awards).

        also, regarding eyebrows, i like how Justin Theroux and Lily Collins get a lot of photo time now. Helps people embrace thick eyebrows more now. Mirror Mirror was briefly shown in theaters in my country (before being bumped out by SWATH), and a lot of the discussions revolve around thick eyebrows. many girls in my country has thick eyebrows, but more and more now, beauty adverts are being made with women with thin eyebrows. lots of insecurities all around. but now, i am hoping for the best.

        also, Justin in my country is known as Rachel’s Boyfriend. 🙂
        so, sometimes you can hear “Snow White eyebrows” or “thick eyebrows like Rachel’s boyfriend”.

      • MW says:

        Maybe he’s flying solo w/o JA because he wants to prove he is an actor/screenwriter, and “force to be reckoned with” on his own. He maybe wants everyone to see he actually has a day job, and does not want to simply be thought of as JA’s boyfriend du jour. Maybe it occurred to him that at least with Heidi he never had an identity crisis?

    • Kara Ann says:

      Of course, I have no idea why Jen isn’t there but I do have a couple thoughts/theories:
      I have to say that I like how they are handling the media via their personal life. By that I mean, no red carpet walks together (thus far, at least). Jen attending the MTV awards alone and Justin attending this alone may point to a strategy that they hope will reduce the media intrusion into their private life. I admire the tactic and hope they continue in that vein.

  20. Dee Cee says:

    Justin wants a bit more fame.. as he is older.. real money.. Tom knows how to get both.. Perhaps Jen isn’t getting him any solid career benefits, connection encouragement or beneficial perks getting ahead in the business as she wants to fade away and retire with her man.. oddly enough..

  21. ahoyhoy says:

    Notice the angle of the top of Tom’s shoes. That’s where the top of his foot is. Now notice his heels are like 3 inches high.

    maybe he’s sweating so much from his high heels hurting his feet.

  22. Lisa says:

    Bret Michaels – is it a boy or girl???

    Russell Brand has been wearing the same outfit for the past 8 years…vile.

    I’m not normally this grouchy I promise!

  23. Original Lucy says:

    I’m calling it too…Tomkat is over! He has sucked all the youth and joy out of Katie and there is none left! Tom is a good looking lunatic though, I gotta say! Also think Justjen is dead too…its all over but the official announcement. Justin is okay looking, but I don’t find him the least bit sexy! Russell Brand is just nasty, gross and disgusting, and not funny!

  24. valleymiss says:

    A few notes:

    *Bret Michaels: ugh, just go away you famewhore.

    *I thought it was weird that Cruise wasn’t wearing a suit, but I guess it’s more casual since it’s a rockstar movie?

    *Justin Theroux looks hot as hell. I’ve said it before and I’ll say itagain: been crushin’ on him ever since “Mulholland Drive.” Yowza.

    *Rusty Brand, I love you.

    *Derek Hough’s squinty eyes rival Leann Rimes’. And it’s weird to me how Julianne Hough looks 34 even though she’s 24.

    *I totally want to see this movie. Even though I hate Cruise and I’m scratching my head over this Diego dude, I think it’ll be just cheesy enough to tickle my fancy.

    • Emma - the JP lover says:

      Julianne Hough was incredible in “Burlesque.” You can tell she is a trained dancer. She’s a pretty decent actress too. I was impressed by her and became an instant fan. 🙂

      I’m having a hard time understanding why some actresses seem to look older to some people. Julianne Hough looks like she’s in the low to mid range of her twenties to me. (shrugs)

      My opinion on TomKat and JustJen is this:

      Tom and Katie have been over for a while now. Honestly, when is the last time they were photographed together or as a family with Lil’ Sci (aka as Suri)? Katie probably has to wait on Tom to decide when he wants to make the announcement.

      Jen let us know it was over with Justin the second she did that solo, and intentionally Papped, ‘gym’ visit in full makeup and normal hair. Her team will probably make an announcement before the end of the year.

  25. Jennifer12 says:

    Shaking my head over the male specimens in this post. Tom Cruise used to be sexy; now he just tries too hard. Accept being 50. Same with Bret Michaels, who is just a joke and thinks he was more important musially than he was or is. And Justin has been emasculated by Jennifer. Derek, run while you have time.

  26. Maguita says:

    Amma gonna stick this here, way down, trying to hide my shame… I find Derek Hough mattress worthy, out in the open under the sun no less.

    • bluhare says:

      Oh my. Seriously?

      • Maguita says:

        Shhhhhhhhtt.

        I didn’t say I was proud of it.

        There is something about that boy, in movement, with the hair flying around, not gelled like in that picture. With his naked torso, and the way he grabs his partner…

        pleaaaase, let me hide my shame 😳

    • Belle says:

      Right there with you on this one. I have to admit I might not feel the same though if I hadn’t seen the boy in motion!

  27. Loulou says:

    Tom Cruise had his gums pushed back (think Demi Moore) to appear more youthful but the dentist mismatched the colour or flash bulbs reveal the enamel more. Also, the dentist forgot to do his left (our right) from tooth. .

    • He’s ALWAYS had a crappy tooth alignment thng going on. His front teeth are actually like a tooth off from being aligned. Look at a head on shot of him and then look ast the two front teeth in relation to the nose.

  28. Jackie says:

    every single one of these men give me the creeps.

    groovy dyed hair and fake tan, justin. i would cringe if he crawled into bed with me….actually, that goes for all of them.

    …and who is the guy in the vest?? a vest! who the hell wears a vest anymore!

    ICK.

    • anna says:

      Completely. What do women see in him? He looks like a peeved little old woman or he looks like Eddie Munster, minus the witch’s peak or crow’s peak or whatever it is called. They all look like they smell bad and are rotten in bed.

      I want Alain Delon back! Wah!

  29. Kimlee says:

    Tom is looking every bit of his age in that last picture, time to break out the Botox and chemical peel again. Lol

  30. anna says:

    All the men here look disgusting. Warped, wasted, unattractive and….just tired. They look like they smell. They look stupid. Justin T is totally unappealing. Just hard to look at and…weird.

  31. Shoes says:

    I think Aniston was inside the premiere. Her yoga instructor went to the premiere and tweeted about attending, and Aniston’s BFF and hairstylist Chris McMillan tweeted that he did Justin’s hair for the event.

    • please says:

      …an old aniston pr trick from way back. A dude breaks up with her, and she doesnt want it known yet – so she has her pals mention him, thus people assume theyre together.

  32. samira677 says:

    I must be missing something because Justin still looks overly tanned and plucked. He looks really cheesy but not as bad as before. I don’t recall Justin doing anything since dating Jennifer except for Wanderlust. So I don’t think it means anything Jennifer not being there. Justin usually attends Jennifer’s events.

    I think Katie is filming in NY but I could be wrong. I don’t see why it’s a big deal that neither is there. It’s weird that people jump to conclusions just because a significant other isn’t there.

  33. Original Lucy says:

    I think the hottest looking guy on the red carpet is Alec Baldwin…look what was hiding under all that fat! Makes me want to try to lose some weight again…he looks 20 years younger! He is still a douche…but a sexy, funny douche!

    • madashell says:

      Could’t agree more: Alec Baldwin is the story here for me too.

      • Carolyn says:

        Hilaria = Hilarious! Whilst I can’t get beyond Baldwin’s comments about his daughter all those years ago he is looking better. He was gorgeous years ago. A new relationship – Hilaria certainly has read him the riot act or at least shown him clips from that movie he did on the navy boat (Sean Connery was Russian?) where he was hot to trot and said to him “yes you’re witty, charming and $$$$ – bring your sexy back”.

  34. Listerino says:

    I swear Tom has one pair of shoes. Tom – you’re rich. Just buy a tonne of lifts if you want to wear lift shoes. I’m sure you can afford it.

    I’m sure Tom and Justin didn’t want their partners there taking the limelight from them is all.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      Justin has no limelight on his own and well just because we prefer the Katie-bot to Crazy Tom doesn’t mean everyone else does …. yeah OK I get why he left the Katie-bot at home but Justin needs help he’s not anyone to the gossip crowd. I mean how many times does Christopher Nolan’s brother the screenwriter get red carpet shots.

      Worse he is looking creepier by the day – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor – – Nate Naylor –

    • skuddles says:

      Funny you should say that Listerino as I’m convinced Katie only has one pair of shoes too (ratty old suede ankle boots to be exact)!

  35. buell says:

    Good grief Tom, I’ve seen better teeth carved into a pumpkin.

  36. Anne de Vries says:

    I just found this article the other day and thought it was interesting:

    http://technorati.com/entertainment/glosslip/article/deconstructing-tom-cruise/

    • Shay Kay says:

      Thanks for the interesting read! I thought she was spot on about Tom’s absence of self making him the the perfect empty vessel for the CO$ to fill with enlightened thinking, or as we human beings call it, self serving BS drivel meant to confuse/divide/conquer all in the name of the all mighty dollar.

      I also agree that John Travolta is actually in worse condition because while he might have believed the BS in the beginning he is very aware that he is tied, hook, line, and sinker to CO$.Sometimes I think there’s no greater misery than realising you’ve brought about your own.

    What, no eyebrow wax? No mascara? Methinks Janthrax is on the rocks. It’s a sure sign when a guy starts letting himself go.

    Holy hot mess of a red carpet! Derek & Alec are the only exceptions to that description.

  40. A Fan says:

    What a gross collection of men (except for Alec Baldwin).

  41. e.non says:

    meanwhile katiebot is in taiwan hosting some ice skating event. there’s a photo of her standing with some woman holding a tray of what looks like packaged salami and crackers…

    jeez, that’s kind of a low rent venture. she must be desperate to get away from him.

  42. Minxx says:

    The only real man there was Alec Baldwin. All others are either fake (Tommy), plastic (Justin), girly (Diego), weird (Russell), disgusting (Gene).. or just plain wannabes. Justin looks like he uses Grecian formula to dye his hair and brows. I can see him becoming a Scientologist if that thing with Jenny fails to boost his career.

  43. Nanea says:

    I can hear Tiny Tom’s maniacal laughter reverberating off the screen *shudders* Ever since he ditched Pat Kingsley as his PR Lady years and years ago, he’s become a megalomaniac and uncontrollable, and that was even before all that $cientoCult’s antics made it into the mainstream.

    I listened to the soundtrack a few days ago, and it’s awwwwful. Everyone is better than Crazy Cruise, and that’s not saying much.

    The way they slaughtered all those 80es classics. *rolls eyes*

      This is supposed to be 1987 so it’s the year I dumped hair metal turned of age and discovered the Cure and Depeche and never looked back.

      Meaning I can’t stand hair metal other than my odd loyalty to Nikki Sixx from Motley because he was my first crush 30 years ago – and no I did not go to Motley/Poison and I sure as hell am not going to Motley/Kiss – they are too old for hair metal. I didn’t even go to the Sunset Strip honors Motley and I had no excuse for that – it was close and cheap.

      I can’t complain about how they ruined the old songs because when Glee ruined Journey they set the bar too high (or low) compared to that version this one is passable.

      I think what bothers me other than the reinvention of Bret Michaels – reality star (BARF) is Tom Cruise and Julianne Hough – she’s cute but dayum is she country. When Bon Jovi said he was a cowboy he didn’t sing it with a twang.

      This just looks terrible to me.

    when i saw the headline i thought you were going to imply that after jenn had plucked and dyed and fancied up justin, that john trav had taken one look at him and been smitten– and that that was the reason neither one had their wimmen with them. a brand new triangle– a jenn/just/john triangle!

  45. Reece says:

    Creepers the whole lot. I usually like Russell but yesshhh!

  46. ronin247 says:

    There’s nothing worse than non-rock people throwing the horns.

  47. ZenB!tch says:

    I may not even see this on 1channel.ch – it looks that bad!!!

    I don’t need to relive the 80s and those who missed them need more realistic people in the roles to get them.

    This reminds me of the bad renditions of the 60s they did in the 80s. Thankfully, I had baby boomers around to tell me what it was really like.

    Ironically, I think Tom Cruise was involved in some of those movies too. One forgets just how old he is given how cryogenically preserved he is.

    Russell Brand is looking like a young Charles Manson.

  49. ZenB!tch says:

    Maniston’s dude is looking a tad too Nate Naylor.

  50. mimi says:

    I wonder if Katie’s contract is up and that’s the end of that.

    Justin Theroux looks like a handsome guy, def. manly and all

    Russel Brand looks completely high and like he could use a shower or three.

    Seriously, and Gene Simmons is so cool. I just love him. We don’t have these kinds of rock stars any more. We have kids with haircuts like Justin Bieber nowadays. Unfortunately.

  51. allie says:

    Ref. To aniston and theroux they are still together and just bought a house together. He was interviewed be Access Hollywood and said he was getting a great girl Jennifer and all of the publicity was worth it. So go figure. They are trying to keep their private life private as much as they can. Although I e wondered why only one person in his family as ever said anything about Jennifer.??? Puzzling???

    • please says:

      “All of the publicity was worth it,” he says?? Bahahaha. Methinks “all of the publicity,” is EXACTLY why he’s with her, he’s a poseur douchebag, who’s struggled as an actor for a long time, and now he’s finally ‘made it,’ by hooking up w/ Rachel Green – he dumped his gf of 14 yrs Heidi Bivens, and is eagerly lapping up Aniston’s tabloid celebrity kleiglights, which has him delusionally thinking he too, is a famous celebrity.

  52. Daniellie says:

    No, I don’t think it’s odd for Justin as he does this, as does his girl Jennifer. But it does seems strange for Tom. But, then again, he is strange.

  53. jade says:

    I have no urge whatsoever to watch this movie. None of the *stars* appeal to me at all. Tom Cruise & his monkey (poor monkey) just annoyed the bejeesus out of me during the trailer which was painful enough.

    Could this be the most painful musical of all time?

  54. pink giraffe says:

    The blind gossip on Tom & Katie is that they have separated quietly.

  55. Kim1 says:

    Pics of Justjen at LAX at X17 I can breathe now LOL

  56. Sal says:

    Russell Brand is gross.

    Troll doll (Theroux) looks like someone painting him orange and he is starring in Charlie and the Chocolate factory as an oompa loompa. Pulling weird faces that make him look uglier than he already is. Any woman would have to be desperate.

    I LOVE Alec Baldwin here! Had a crush on him around 10 years ago, good to see he has lost weight and looks more like he used to.

    Tom Cruise, well, he is still a Scieno freak and he will never look good to me because of it.

  57. midnightmoon says:

    First time Russell MIGHT attract me but for crazy clothing & frickin’ laser beam eyes! Charlie Manson WISHES he cld be so scary!

    Justin’s pants pooling around his ankles ruins EVERYTHING! Not that he’s relevant…

    And yes, i’d do Derek & his boytoy together! Gay/straight, whutevah-his bodacious body lights my fire.

    The HELL is that pelt on Hilaria’s head? And for why is she not mercilessly teased for such a ridiculous name and idiotic red carpet vibe? Alec may be happy b healthier but EWWWWWWW!!!

  58. blinded says:

    I don’t care what ya’ll say but I have an eternal crush on TC since I’m 18! Even his sweaty pits can’t turn me off. I know… I’m hopeless case 🙂

    By the way – he sings GREAT in the Rock Of Ages!

  59. HappyJoyJoy says:

    Nice wedges, Tommy!

  60. Jessica says:

    “Diego Bonita: I know I’ve said this before … but I still don’t get it.” – I think it may be his first name.. all I think of when I hear that name is Go Diego, go, go Diego go… and a cartoon boy runs around looking for animals with Click the camera.. odd huh?

    • the original bellaluna says:

      And doesn’t Bonita mean “pretty,” as in the female proper?

  61. the original bellaluna says:

    TC is positively terrifying when he smiles like that. And I just can’t with name Hilaria.

  62. Ruffian9 says:

    TC isn’t solo, he has his CRAZY FACE to keep him company. Zenu says crank it down a notch, Tommy.

  63. lucy2 says:

    Tom doesn’t look too bad, but he needs to control the crazy smile faces. He weirdly seems to want to project that he’s always just having the BEST time.
    I was thinking Justin didn’t look too good here, but then I scrolled further and actually jumped at the photo of Russell. Yikes. Anyone else by comparison looks great.

    Alec is looking really good. I know he’s a PITA and has a bad temper, but…

  64. sweetshell says:

    Justin needs to lose those boots.

  65. Kim says:

    These men are all so botoxed and filled! They look waxy.

  66. Bette says:

    Russell is not high. He’s just not. He’s totally committed to his sobriety.

    And anyone who says he’s “gross” is closed minded. He’s the only one in this whole group that actually looks the part of what they’re all supposed to be portraying — “cool” rock stars.

    Russell is the king. Period.
