Who's the intense-looking dude in the shades, wide-brimmed hat and shaggy coat with the amazing abs peeking out? None other than Tom Cruise leading an all-star cast in the poster for the upcoming Rock of Ages based on the Broadway show and opening in movie theaters June 15.

Against a soundtrack that includes Def Leppard, Joan Jett, Journey, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister and Poison, Cruise stars as an aging rocker alongside Julianne Hough, Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Malin Akerman, Mary J.

It's a battle of the bands!

After Bret Michaels told the crowd at his recent Windsor, Ont., concert that he would try to return to the city next year during a joint Poison-Mötley Crüe tour, Tommy Lee and Mötley Crüe management are insisting the longtime rival rockers will not be hitting the road together.

On Tuesday, when a Twitter follower asked Lee if the rumor of a 2011 tour was true, the drummer – who is among the guys in featured in PEOPLE's new Sexiest Man Alive issue – tweeted back a definite "NO!"

Eric Sherman, President of Tenth Street Entertainment, Mötley Crüe 's management tells PEOPLE that Michaels knows there is no tour and that "he's trying to will it."

He adds that fans of the band (who will celebrate their 30th anniversary next year) can vote on Motley.com for who they would like to see on the bill.
