Rainn Wilson was in character as The Rocker last night for the premiere of his new movie in Las Vegas.
While Dwight Schrute is hard at work being a rock star, The Office producers have been busying working on that spinoff show. Variety suggest they should hire Aziz Ansari, who was on MTV’s comedy sketch show Human Giant and played a racist fruit stand vendor in Flight of the Conchords. No word on a title or main character for the spinoff set to air in winter.
Meanwhile, several new writers have been hired for The Office and Rashida Jones may return.

Recognize this face?
It’s The Office star Rainn Wilson and this is the poster for his new comedy The Rocker. Fox will be putting it up this weekend. The funny thing is: Rainn’s rep say that it’s an original picture of Wilson as a kid that has only been slightly doctored - the background, the glasses - but otherwise it’s all him.
The Rocker comes out August 1 and co-stars Christina Applegate. In it, Wilson plays a drummer for an 80s hair band on the cusp of making it big – then they fire him. Two decades later, he’s working a regular job he hates and gets the chance to drum for his nephew’s garage band and all his old bad habits come back along with his desire to push them to be the biggest band on earth.
