Katy Perry, in Marchesa, joined Amy Poehler for the Trevor Project's annual benefit, Trevor Live, in LA last night. The bash is organized each year to raise money for outreach efforts that help lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender young people in crisis. Amy had her Parks and Recreation ladies Rashida Jones and Aubrey Plaza by her side. Katy, meanwhile, said hello inside to friends like Jesse Tyler Ferguson and the director Adam Shankman. Anna Kendrick and Zoe Saldana also hit the red carpet.

Glee was well represented inside the bash, with stars Matthew Morrison, Naya Rivera, and Chris Colfer turning out. Revenge had plenty of celebs on hand too, including Ashley Madekwe, Christa B. Allen, Connor Paolo, and Gabriel Mann. They all turned out to support the cause, and also honor Katy Perry. She received a special accolade at the show, her second of the weekend. On Friday, Katy also attended NYC's Billboard Women in Music lunch to pick up another statue.

Tom Cruise, Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, and the whole Rock of Ages gang premiered their picture in London tonight. The UK screening came after the LA event for Rock of Ages on Friday that brought out a Hollywood crowd including Zac Efron, Josh Duhamel, and writer Justin Theroux. Tom posed for photos with costars Mary J. Blige, Russell Brand, and Paul Giamatti, as well as director Adam Shankman. Some of their costars didn't make the trek to Britain, like Alec Baldwin and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Still, it seems like Tom, Julianne, and company are excited to be in London. Upon her arrival, Julianne tweeted, "Love being here . . . Feels like home." Adam, meanwhile, seems to be quite the royalist. He wrote, "Loving London . . . Scavenging for jubilee mementos!"

Jennifer Lopez got a lift to the American Idol sound stage in West Hollywood yesterday in a white Bentley driven by boyfriend Casper Smart. In addition to her Idol judging duties, Jennifer has What to Expect When You're Expecting out May 18. We chatted with Jennifer at the film's LA junket, where she opened up about her own pregnancy and talked about her upcoming music tour — stay tuned for more from our exclusive chat! Jen's hitting the road this Summer with Enrique Iglesias as well as Casper. She's been perfecting her choreography with Casper's help, and fans will see the fruits of their labor when the tour kicks off in Panama on June 14.

There are only two weeks left until American Idol's season 11 winner is crowned, and the four remaining hopefuls took the stage last night. J Lo, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyler joined Ryan Seacrest, who had a special guest, girlfriend Julianne Hough, in the audience. Julianne and her Rock of Ages director Adam Shankman went onstage with Ryan mid-show to talk about their upcoming movie. Ryan, though, decided to have a little fun with Julianne. Ryan pretended to propose by reaching into his pocket! Instead of pulling out a ring, Ryan produced a piece of paper. He said, "It's a question I've been meaning to ask you and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. Will you. . . give this note I wrote to Tom Cruise? I'm such a big fan."

Zac Efron celebrated landing the cover of September's Details magazine with his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, by his side in LA last night — get a behind-the-scenes look at his hot desert shoot. His 17 Again costar Leslie Mann was there to toast Zac along with friends like Glee's Matthew Morrison and Michelle Trachtenberg. Zac prepped for the event by running errands and taking care of business around town, while Vanessa got in a workout with Dakota Fanning. It seems as though Zac didn't have time to tend to his facial hair, though, as he was still sporting the scruff he introduced at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards.

New video just leaked of Miley Cyrus letting loose and showing off some risqué moves last Summer during the wrap party for her film The Last Song. She was 16 at the time and was spotted giving the movie's 44-year-old producer Adam Shankman a lap-dance. It's not the first instance of Miley raising eyebrows for doing something potentially age inappropriate, and she's now actively trying to change her young image to something more grown-up. So, tell us what you think about Miley's lap dance — is it shocking or not?

The Governors Ball was the first stop for many of the winners and presenters after last night's Oscars ceremony. Best actress Sandra Bullock went from chatting about her award in the press room to the afterparty, where she shared a special moment with her supportive husband, Jesse James. Maggie Gyllenhaal didn't claim a statue for Crazy Heart, but she continued the family evening by joining her mother Naomi Foner for a bite. Barbara Streisand cuddled up to Gerard Butler, while Diane Kruger brought her Chanel gown from the red carpet to the ball.

Oprah Winfrey joined Gabourey Sidibe after her touching introduction during the best supporting actress presentation. Zoe Saldana stayed in her voluminous dress, which led the way for the evening's slitty trend. Neil Patrick Harris, meanwhile, relaxed with David Burtka after his amazing opening number. Sigourney Weaver was happy to let her hair down with Anna Kendrick despite Avatar's not winning best picture, but Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal were thrilled their film The Hurt Locker took home the accolade.

Adam Shankman to Direct Rock of Ages Movie Musical

Sometimes I forget that So You Think You Can Dance's Adam Shankman is also heavily involved in the movie biz — he directed 2007's remake Hairspray and recently produced 17 Again. Now the booty shakin' judge just scored a deal to direct and choreograph another movie musical, the Broadway hit Rock of Ages.

The stage show debuted in 2006 and revolves around the hits of '80s glam/hair/metal rock bands. It boosted the career of former American Idol contestant Constantine Maroulis, but he may not be reprising his role: Shankman remarked, "I'm thinking big, and absolutely am going to attempt to cast with movie stars. Now that musicals are working again, actors are much more open to it."

I've never seen the show, but I just read the listing of songs (think Journey and Bon Jovi) and now I'm dying to see it on stage and on the big screen. If you've seen it, what big names could you see starring?
