Tom Cruise Goes Shirtless on 'W' Magazine

Fans eager to see the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Rock of Ages--a glib but entertaining homage to '80s heavy metal--still have little more than a month until it hits movie theaters. But, to help build anticipation for its June 15th debut, Celebuzz has revealed that the film's star, Tom Cruise, will be covering the highbrow fashion/culture monthly W Magazine (a month after his ex-wife Nicole Kidman...odd). Cruise appears in character as fictional rock legend Stacee Jaxx, shirtless and tatted-up, flanked by two groupies. Um, whether it's his affiliation to the Church of Scientology, an amazing post-production photo retoucher, or a mysterious painting that is slowly aging in his attic, we have to admit that Tom, who will turn 50 this year, looks amazing. If anyone wasn't planning on seeing it before, we bet they're giving it a second thought now.
