DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY

Rock Of Ages‘ Keeps Gay Love Story Intact

Rock of Ages hits theaters on Friday and our sister in salaciousness Michael Musto reminded readers the jukebox movie musical has a gay twist.

No it’s not Tom Cruise—his character, washed up rocker Stacy Jaxx, sucks face with a lady reporter (Malin Akerman).

But it’s two of the other stars who end up flirting with sexual subtext, finally erupting into a musical declaration of mutual love (“I Can’t Fight This Feeling”) and a big, old, wonderful kiss on top of it.

Musto says the same-sex scene—”one of the better things in the film”—was also in the Broadway version of the show.

Is it Julianne Hough and Catherine Zeta Jones? Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand? If you know for a fact, please keep it to yourself. Wild guesses are welcome in the comments!
