Mary J. Blige will be playing the part of strip club owner in the new musical “Rock of Ages.”  In order for the queen to effectively play and represent the role she took it upon herself to research different strip clubs to bring her character in the musical to life.  She was pictured alongside Tom Cruise at the Rock of Ages premiere in Hollywood, rocking a black dress and a Jesus chain.  Hit the jump to see the pics.
