Director Adam Shankman tweeted this photo of Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand from the set of ‘Rock of Ages’. The ’30 Rock’ actor is decked out with long hair, shades and a jean vest.

Balwin and Brand are just a few of the big names starring in the big screen adaption. The cast also includes Tom Cruise, Mary J. Blige, Julianne Hough and Catherine Zeta-Jones. (Last week I posted pictures of Julianne in a bikini filming beach scenes.)

The 53-year-old star will play the part of Dennis Dupree, an ex-rocker who runs the Rock of Ages nightclub in order to hold onto his rock star past. Set in 1987 on the LA Sunset Strip, ‘Rock of Ages’ is the story of a small town girl who meets a big city rocker in an LA rock club, as they fall in love to a soundtrack of the greatest songs of the ’80s.

In the new issue of  Italian Vanity Fair, Patrick Dempsey has confirmed that the upcoming 8th season of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ will be his last!  “It’s gonna be my last,” he told the mag. “I do not know what’s going to happen to the other characters, but for me it’s done.”

Dempsey added that the idea of checking out of Seattle Grace after seven years is “bittersweet because it’s been great and a great part of my life. But I can’t see me doing it anymore.”

One person who we’re pretty sure won’t be caught off guard by this news: Shonda Rhimes. The Grey’s creator told TVLine earlier this month that she was approaching next season as if it was the last – not just for Dempsey but his fellow original cast members Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, Sandra Oh and Justin Chambers. “It might be the last hurrah for a lot of them; you never know,” she said. “I really don’t know and I don’t presume to know. Everybody has an individual choice to make and I get that…. All the originals are in play.”

Of course, this begs the provocative question: What happens if Dempsey leaves but Pompeo stays? Perhaps a clue can be found in this next quote from Rhimes. “I feel like Meredith and Derek are meant to be together forever, and we’re going to make sure that in the end they end up together, one would hope — unless one of them dies or something.”

I will be really bummed if he leaves. The show is already pretty bad, but if you start taking away the show’s major character’s then it’s really going to go downhill quickly! The characters they’ve brought on in the last couple seasons are ok, but they’re definitely no Patrick Dempsey.

I think he should stay – let’s start a petition.

The Kardashian clan covered Katy Perry’s ‘ET’ in a new music video.

The family filmed the video on a recent vacation.

Khloe Kardashian took to Celebuzz to blog about the family’s latest home video: “I’m so excited to finally present to you the Kardashian/Jenner/Odom/Disick/Humphries family music video … We all learned the words to Katy Perry’s song ‘Extraterrestrial’ (even Bruce LOL) and then took turns lip syncing to it. My favorite part is where Masey is dancing. How cute is he?!”

‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ premieres on June 12.

I was reading this article in the Huffington Post, and they are saying that Angelina Jolie is the new Elizabeth Taylor. I just don’t know what I think about that. Do we think Angelina could even hold a candle to Liz?

As Hollywood knows more than ever these days, the same stories are continuously recycled, told over and over, directly or thematically, with new context and stars. Sequels, remakes and updates are the norm now, in both movies and stars.

Beyond even its most beloved, lucrative franchises and properties, Hollywood treasures its proven leading ladies; even more so than established characters, its top lining women have the ability to inspire generations of moviegoers and dreamers. And at the top of that list, in rarified air, is the torch once held by the late Elizabeth Taylor, the headline maker both on screen and off. To many, Angelina Jolie is the recipient of that torch, her generation’s Liz Taylor.

The comparisons between the two are many: the talent, the looks, the steamy co-star romances. It’s a fine guiding light for Jolie to have — to follow in the footsteps of the most famous actress ever — but she’s also synthesizing one of Taylor’s biggest professional missteps in an attempt to avoid the same famous pitfall when their stars brush closer than ever.

Angelina is set to star as Cleopatra in director David Fincher’s take on the classic film, ‘Cleopatra’. Elizabeth Taylor once said starring in the movie her “greatest disappointment.”

“She has been very misunderstood,” Jolie told the Telegraph about the famous queen. “I thought it was all about the glamour, but then I read about her and she was a very strong mother, she spoke five languages and she was a leader.”

As such, Jolie says that she’ll play Cleopatra with that brains over beauty bent, even if it means the character isn’t quite as alluring as Taylor’s portrayal.

“My performance will never be as lovely as Elizabeth’s,” Jolie said. ‘We are trying to get into a different truth about her as a pharaoh in history and not as a sex symbol, because she really wasn’t. Even this idea of her having many lovers – it was possible that it was only two. She is very interesting, but she wasn’t a great beauty.”

Bradley Cooper calls out Russell Crowe for being a “s**t” in the new June/July Esquire Magazine.

The ‘Hangover Part Two’ actor hit out at the ‘Gladiator’ star, who starred opposite Bradley’s ex-girlfriend Renee Zellweger in 2006 movie ‘Cinderella Man’, but gave no reasons for his dislike.

Bradley told the magazine, “Russell Crowe. S**t. He is. Next level.”

The 36-year-old actor, who has recently been romantically linked with actress Olivia Wilde, is also critical of himself, admitting he thinks he could work harder.

He exclaimed: “Oh my God, I am so f**king lazy.”

However, those who know the star disagree.

The publication reports three of his friends told them: “There is no off switch for his career,” while his former rowing crew coach at Georgetown University spoke of his determined streak.

He said: “There is a fierce, fierce, fierce fire in that guy. That determination of his – nobody should ever underestimate that.”

Bradley showed off his dramatic side earlier this year in thriller ‘Limitless’ but he insists the success of the film hasn’t changed him or his career.

He said: “Since ‘Limitless’ opened, my agent calls me every morning and asks, ‘Do you feel any different?’ And I’m like, ‘Nope. Do you feel any different?’ ”
