In the latest edition of After Hours, all rules are off, and Cruise is answering the tough questions, like "What did Val Kilmer smell like" on the "Top Gun" set? Nothing is off limits in this intense battle of the wills. Will Josh make it out alive? What items of clothing does Katie Holmes insist Tom wear? Find out all these answers and more in the new After Hours!

Get a load of that "Rock Of Ages" trailer, will ya. Holy power ballads, big hair, leather pants and bad decisions. There's Julianne Hough being Julianne Hough, Russell Brand being Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin being Alec Baldwin in that he's scene-stealing up a storm, Catherine Zeta Jones likely killing it as a very uptight mom/PTA president type and Tom Cruise. A long-haired, shirtless, sort-of singing Tom Cruise.

MTV News was lucky enough to snag a few moments of director Adam Shankman's time to chat about the trailer, what he plans to tease out over the next six months and why Cruise was a kid in a candy store on set.

Tom Cruise is not a normal man. He's lived a life of celebrity since his "Risky Business" days, and it's hard to see where he gets a chance to come down to reality, if ever. But it does happen... sort of!

When we talked to the "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" star at the film's press junket in Dubai last week, we asked him what the most mundane thing about his life was.

Forget Daredevil — Tom Cruise is the man without fear. The "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol" star has been suspended from wires, cliff-sides and more in his day, but Hollywood's most famous thrill-seeker has topped himself with his latest "Mission."

We're talking, of course, about Cruise's now-famous Burj Khalifa stunt, the Dubai set piece that sees the actor dangling from the tallest building in the world. Exactly what IMF agent Ethan Hunt and his crew of disavowed spies are doing infiltrating the building remains to be seen, but Cruise credits director Brad Bird for coming up with the idea.

"Bird designed it," Cruise told MTV News at the "Ghost Protocol" press junket held in Dubai. "When I saw it, I said, 'Man, this is incredible. I've gotta put this on screen.'"

After mulling over the project for many months, Tom Cruise has at last committed to Warner Bros' upcoming film "All You Need Is Kill."

Deadline has the news that Cruise has joined the project, which is being directed by "Jumper" helmer Doug Liman. He'll likely start shooting the movie after he wraps Joseph Kosinski's "Oblivion," which he is set to start after he finishes the current shoot on "Rock of Ages." "All You Need Is Kill" follows a new army recruit who gets killed during a battle against an alien species, and is reborn every day to suffer the same fate. When he starts realizing that he is becoming a better soldier as each day passes, he figures out that maybe he can do something to alter the course of the battle.

"Downton Abbey" star Rose Leslie likely knows something about the big role she just landed on "Game of Thrones."

Entertainment Weekly has the news that Leslie will play Ygritte, the love interest of Jon Snow in the second season of HBO's hit fantasy drama. Leslie certainly fits the description of Ygritte in the books, though it's hard to picture the wildling without the heavy clothing and cloaks she wears to keep herself warm north of The Wall. Ygritte is one of the last major players left to be cast this season.

Those of you planning a cruise around Europe to stalk the "Game of Thrones" set had better add two new locations to your itinerary.

HBO announced in a brief statement that the fantasy series will be filming in two new countries that will serve as fresh lands explored in the upcoming second season. Iceland will pass as wilderness north of the Wall, and Croatia will stand in for some of the Southern locations. Production on "Game of Thrones" is based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is also occurring in Malta. It is unclear whether Croatia will double for southern Westeros, or if it will pass as the new land Daenerys explores in her storyline.
