The first trailer for the musical-to-movie adaptation Rock of Ages is out — at least, until Warner Bros. asks us to take it down — and it proves that if you load your movie with enough rock music, it will sound undeniably epic. That’s probably why I got all psyched for the “We’re Not Gonna Take It”/”We Built This City On Rock and Roll” mash-up. That, or because Catherine Zeta-Jones plays an evangelical lady dedicated to shutting down awesome music club The Bourbon Room.

Did you guys know that there were so many stars attached to this movie? Because I had no idea. Alec Baldwin is almost unrecognizable as club owner Dennis; Bryan Cranston plays the mayor who wants to tear down The Bourbon Room; Malin Akerman is one of the strippers who befriends Julianne Hough‘s character; and Russell Brand plays another rocker. And of course there’s Diego Boneta as fresh-faced star Drew, the heart of the story.

Sure, the trailer leads up to a shirtless and buff Tom Cruise as legendary rocker Stacee Jaxx, but there are a lot of talented stars who appear on-screen before him, who may be what tip us in favor of actually seeing Rock of Ages.

Diego Boneta and co-star Julianne Hough hit a Miami beach to film a scene for their upcoming movie Rock of Ages yesterday. We were going to crop Julianne out for you, but then we figured it would be more fun to let you Photoshop your own heads onto her body. Enjoy!

1. Diego was born in Mexico City. He’s 20 years old, which means he was born in 1990, which means we will spend the rest of the day grumbling about how we feel old.

2. He got his start on the Mexican soap opera Rebelde. He’s also appeared in the American shows 90210 and Pretty Little Liars. Plus, he starred in a Miranda Cosgrove video, 2008′s “About You Now.”

3. He’s a Latin American pop star! His first album, from 2005, was released in Mexico, Chile and Brazil, and will come out in the U.S. later this month. His second album came out in 2008, and it includes a song written by Kara DioGuardi.

4. He’s rumored to be dating Julianne Hough, with whom he’ll co-star in Rock of Ages. Julianne’s 22, two years older than Diego.

5. His high singing voice was part of the reason Diego landed Rock of Ages. Director Adam Shankman said about Diego’s audition:

“It was grueling and endless, basically. I put Julianne through it, too, to be perfectly honest, but with Diego, he came back to audition a second time for the casting director and he came back and auditioned for me. And when he came back and auditioned for me again, he had to do a different scene each time and he had to sing those songs which are so hard and so high! People in that era — in 1987 — sang like freaks of nature. All the music is written so high, so it was also difficult to find somebody who could find all the music.”

Constantine, who recently dated socialite and reality star Tinsley Mortimer, is said to have paired up with Angel in recently months. Maybe she’s helped him get over Tinz?

The two have been spotted together for years, because of their Rock of Ages connection. In May, they attended the Allure Best in Beauty awards together (pictured at left), where Angel didn’t look pregnant in a black sheath dress. However, since reports now say she’s three months along…you do the math.

29-year-old Angel was previously the spokesperson for Get Sexy Fit exercise DVDs, which used lap dancing and pole dancing exercise routines. Check it out:

I think that’s great because I can only imagine how many animals are abandoned and left on the streets in NYC so I’m glad someone is doing something about it.  It’s produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and sponsored by the ASPCA and Pedigree.

I can’t even list all of the celebrities that attended the event but I can tell you that Rock of Ages star, Constantine Maroulis, was there!  Here’s a picture!

He’s that good in this musical and now you can relive the excitement (if you got to see it live) or hear it all for the first time (if you are like me and did not get to see it live)

The New York Times called the musical “absurdly enjoyable” so I really need to find out what all the fuss is about.  I’m very happy for Constantine and, after hearing him perform on the Tony Awards, I think he’s actually improved quite a bit since his days on Idol.

The Rock of Ages: Original Broadway Cast Recording includes 22 tracks (Constantine’s vocals are featured in 16 of the 22!), almost all of which you are sure to recognize since the musical is set in 1987 on the Sunset Strip.  It’s a love story where a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer and fall for each other to some of the most memorable songs from the 80s.

Here’s the track listing:

2. Sister Christian (James Carpinello, Michele Mais, Constantine Maroulis, Amy Spanger & The Rock Of Ages Cast)

Looking at his performance with his Rock of Ages cast mates, it is amazing to see how far he has come.  He has so much more control over his voice, he’s got less vibrato and I’m telling you that it’s really hard to run around a stage and still sound coherent.  I’m so happy for him.  Watch and enjoy!
