JQuery :: Color Convert From Hex To RGB

I can't seem to get this color conversion from hex to rgb to work:

/* note: hexStr should be #rrggbb */
var hexStr = 'bebebe';
var hex = parseInt(hexStr.substring(1), 16);
var rcolor = (hex & 0xff0000) >> 16;
var gcolor = (hex & 0x00ff00) >> 8;
var bcolor = hex & 0x0000ff;
return [rcolor];
return [gcolor];
return [bcolor];

Lines 2-10 are a script I found. Looking to write the indiv. rgb values into another line. FYI this whole script draws a multiple text shadows behind text and rotates it.
