Oscar nominated actor Mickey Rourke, the star of Bethesda's Rogue Warrior, will be hitting E3 later today - the latest in a string of celebrity appearances at the conference.

In addition to the actor, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Steven Spielberg put in appearances at Microsoft's press conference yesterday (in addition to Tony Hawk, of course). EA, meanwhile, offered us Pete Sampras, while Pele beamed his way through Ubisoft's press bash, as well.

The name-checking doesn't end there either; Jay Z and Eminem reportedly headlining yesterday evening's DJ/Guitar Hero party. Who next for and Nintendo's briefings, we wonder...
