Watch Jenna Dewan Tatum Give Channing Tatum a Magic Mike-Style Lap Dance on Lip Sync Battle
Is it over-aggressive to say the Tatum takeover on Lip Sync Battle might be the highlight of our 2016 so far? Channing Tatum wearing full Elsa gear and enthusiastically lip-synching Frozen's "Let It Go" (complete with snowflakes and twirls) already makes this season's premiere a top contender in our books—but his wife Jenna Dewan Tatum might have just pushed this episode over the edge.
We knew based on the previews that she had a Magic Mike-inspired performance up her sleeves, but what we didn't know is how well her lap-dance skills would rival her hip-swiveling husband's. Dewan Tatum performed the spot-on, scandalous routine to Ginuwine's "Pony"—which Magic Mike fans will instantly recognize as Channing Tatum's trademark stripper song from the movie. Even just from this 30-second preview, we can already see that she nails it, from the nearly-identical costume to the washboard abs and, of course, the killer dancer moves. It appears gyrating is a Tatum family talent—watch the incredible clip below: Don't miss the full Tatum takeover when it airs tonight on Lip Sync Battle at 10 P.M. ET.

Watch the Cast of Dancing With the Stars Re-Create Dirty Dancing, Magic Mike, and Saturday Night Fever
Warning: Spoilers ahead! Fresh off switch-up week, Dancing With the Stars' pros and celebs rode that wave of energy into famous dances week, and boy, did it pay off.
From Dirty Dancing to Magic Mike, this season is finally right where we want it. The contenders are starting to separate from the wannabes, and the pressure's beginning to mount. And, of course, someone else had to say goodbye and head to the friendly arms of Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos. Paula Deen's time was finally up, and she reacted to her departure by saying, "I'm so excited!" Of course, she was referring to the fact that she gets to go back and see her grand babies, but still, it was an odd reaction given that Alexa PenaVega (also "in jeopardy") was bawling her eyes out over the fear of going home. We knew Paula's run on the show was going to come to an end soon, but with her elimination comes the last of this season's "characters." Still, with dances as strong as they were tonight, we're at the point where we don't need "characters." It's time to find out who really could take home the Mirrorball trophy and become

Channing Tatum Before Magic Mike XXL

Watch a Young Channing Tatum Talk About His Modeling Career: "I Don't Really Think I've Got What It Takes"
Long before he became Magic Mike, Channing Tatum was a hot commodity as a runway model. (Fun fact: He roomed with Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor during that time!) And, friends, have we got a treat for you: We have a throwback video of Tatum at age 21 talking backstage—and it is entertaining, to say the least. His quotes are pretty much exactly what you'd expect a 21-year-old dude to say about fashion. For example... On his modeling career... "I don't know if I'm a long-term model.
I don't really think I've got what it takes to make a million bucks or whatever." On why he stopped dancing to go into modeling... "That wasn't making too much money, so I figured I'd try something else." On his acting aspirations... "I would love to go into acting or even some kind of designing or something like that. We'll see!" On fashion... "I've always been kind of interested in fashion and whatnot." Watch the video below: Want more Magic Mike goodies?

Joe Manganiello Talks THAT Scene From Magic Mike XXL
Decades from now, when people are living on the moon and driving flying cars and taking them to see Magic Mike XVI: The Golden Years, we will still be YouTubing Joe Manganiello's epic convenience-store dance scene from Magic Mike XXL.
A refresher, in case you blacked out from lust: The boys challenge Big Dick Richie to get a grouchy cashier to smile, and he goes to work—armed with only a Backstreet Boys soundtrack and the snacks at hand. Turns out he's the MacGyver of seductive choreography, because it all works out. We asked Manganiello for the story behind the sequence. It came from the same place all good ideas come from. "Channing and Reid [Carolin, who wrote and produced the film] came up with that scene in a hot tub one night." The one-on-one setting was a big change of pace from the rest of the film. "During some scenes, there were close to 1,000 extras. They'd get louder on every take. That made us want to always top the last one, to give them something fresh. But it was wild." Manganiello himself Wanted It That Way. "Warner Bros. gave me a list of music to pick. There was no

How Magic Mike XXL Became the Most Shockingly Feminist Movie of the Summer
If you haven't seen Magic Mike XXL yet, close your browser, hydrate, and go directly to your local movie theater.
This piece contains spoilers. No, seriously, I am going to ruin everything. When I sat down to screen Magic Mike XXL a few months ago, I had some expectations in mind for how I would feel when I left: blinded by ab glisten, battling debilitating jealousy toward Jenna Dewan-Tatum, and altogether too riled up to resume my normal, sober workday. What I didn't imagine was that I'd leave thinking I just saw the most empowering, progressive film of the summer. But—I swear on Ginuwine's "Pony"—that's exactly what XXL is. It's the kind of film we've been taught that studios are loath to take a chance on. Every single one of its 121 minutes seems to have been designed not just to satisfy women's eyes but to stoke our egos and mine our more intelligent fantasies—the romantic ones and the feminist ones. If you've seen the film, you know the moments I'm talking about: There's Joe Manganiello, the closest thing humans have to anatomical perfection, working overtime in the convenience store to get a smile from exactly one normal-looking woman.

31 Things That Could Not Keep Us From Seeing Magic Mike XXL in Theaters
Magic Mike was a surprisingly introspective look at the life of male strippers in Florida that featured some unforgettable performances (lest we forget those American flag undies on Matthew McConaughey's booty!). But it also had a dull "romantic" subplot that took away from what audiences really wanted: red-hot male stripping. Luckily, Magic Mike XXL has lost the conflict about stripping morals and is now all about that bass. And by bass, I mean Joe Manganiello's luscious upper thighs. Nothing can keep me from seeing Magic Mike XXL in theaters. Not even... 1. A lightning storm! 2. Wild horses 3. Trolls in the dungeon 4. Middling reviews 5. My date from last week finally texting.

"So it was all these pictures and texts, pictures of texts back and forth with each other and then a bunch of pictures and places that we went on our first date. So I made a book out of it.

Kids Rewrote Magic Mike for Jimmy Fallon and Channing Tatum—and It's Freaking Adorable
Kids and late-night skits go together like male strippers and six-pack abs—but when you combine all four, the results are almost too good to handle.

It's as hysterical, adorable, and inadvertently inappropriate as you'd imagine—take a look.

Magic Mike’s Last Dance: 7 Quick Things We Know About The Channing Tatum Movie
(Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures)It has been 10 years since Steven Soderbergh and Channing Tatum introduced the world to Magic Mike, an engaging dramedy that took a deep dive into the world of professional male strippers and the dancers who work a flashy Tampa club.
A sequel to the surprise box office hit, Magic Mike XXL, followed in 2015, and continued the story of Tatum’s Michael “Magic Mike” Lane as he got back into the world he left behind. For a while there, it seemed as if the franchise would remain a one-two punch.
But, that will soon change when a third movie, titled Magic Mike’s Last Dance, hits the big screen and takes the series to the next level with an all-out festival of male stripping and the comedy and drama in that world. If you are just now hearing about the movie, don’t worry, because we’re about to break down everything we know about it!
(Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures)Magic Mike’s Last Dance Will Be Released Theatrically February 10, 2023
At one point in the film’s development, Magic Mike’s Last Dance was going to be released as an HBO Max exclusive instead of theatrically, but that all changed in September 2022, when Warner Bros. Discovery announced that the upcoming threequel will be heading to the big screen on February 10, 2023, a.
k.a. Super Bowl weekend, according to Deadline.
But, those with an HBO Max subscription will most likely see the title land on the platform at some point in future, as Warner Bros. releases typically land there before anywhere else upon their streaming debut.
(Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures; Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)Channing Tatum And Salma Hayek Are The First Two Additions To The Magic Mike’s Last Dance Cast
The first two Magic Mike movies saw an assortment of male strippers played by the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez, Alex Pettyfer, and others in addition to Channing Tatum’s titular character. Though some of those actors could return for Magic Mike’s Last Dance, as of right now, Tatum is the only member of the original cast who’s signed on to appear in the 2023 movie.
Joining Tatum in the film is Salma Hayek, who will make her debut in the franchise in as a character whose identity has yet to be revealed.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Eternals star is taking over for Thandiwe Newton in the undisclosed role. Tatum even shared a first look image of Hayek’s character touching his abs in an October 2022 Instagram post, along with the caption “All good things begin in Miami.”
Magic Mike’s Last Dance Has Been Described As ‘A Variation On All That Jazz’
Specifics about the movie's plot are being kept under wraps, but Steven Soderbergh described it as “a variation on All That Jazz,” Bob Fosse’s 1979 musical drama starring Roy Scheider as theater director and choreographer Joe Gideon, as he attempts to get a Broadway show off the ground.
In a September 2022 interview with Variety, where the All That Jazz comparisons came up, Soderbergh explained that the movie is a “sort of fictionalized procedural” that focuses on Mike coming up with an idea before dealing with all the obstacles that come with producing an over-the-top strip show.
Steven Soderbergh Is Back In The Director’s Chair After Skipping Magic Mike XXL
Soderbergh retired from film directing following the 2012 release of Magic Mike, but that didn’t last long as he went on to helm Side Effects and Behind the Candelabra the following year. Despite this, the Academy Award winner did not return for Magic Mike XXL, which was instead directed by Gregory Jacobs. But now, the filmmaker is back in the driver’s seat with Magic Mike’s Last Dance. When speaking with Thrillist in February 2022, Soderbergh revealed that it was his decision to come back to the franchise after not directing the second installment in 2015.
(Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures)Magic Mike’s Last Dance Was Penned By Franchise Screenwriter Reid Carolin
Also returning for the upcoming movie is screenwriter Reid Carolin, who wrote the first two installments in the franchise, according to Deadline.
Caroline has worked with Channing Tatum several times over the years, including as a producer on Logan Lucky and America: The Motion Picture. The two also co-directed the 2022 drama, Dog, which featured Tatum in a starring role and Carolin as screenwriter.
Steven Soderbergh Decided To Make The Threquel After Seeing The Magic Mike Live Show
Back in November 2021, when it was revealed that Tatum and Soderbergh would be returning for Magic Mike’s Last Dance (still titled Magic Mike 3 at the time), EW shared a statement from the director in which re revealed the reason he decided to come back and direct the next installment. Basically, it was because of Tatum’s live Magic Mike show:
As soon as I saw what Channing [Tatum], Reid [Carolin], and the Magic Mike choreographic team did with the live show, I said we have to make another movie. Mike Lane's dream of connecting people through dance must be realized!
The show, which started in Las Vegas, has gone international with performances in London, Berlin, and other locations, in addition to a North American tour.
How the live show will impact the upcoming movie remains to be seen.
Channing Tatum Has Teased Magic Mike’s Last Dance As The ‘Super Bowl Of Stripping’
This film will be released in early February 2023, which is rather ironic, because Channing Tatum has teased the upcoming movie as the “Super Bowl of stripping.” When speaking with People in February 2022, he made the threequel sound like an even more over-the-top version of the earlier films, stating:
I want it to be the Super Bowl of stripping. I want dancing like we've never been able to do in the other two movies, because we had to be honest to what the reality of that world is, which isn't great dancing.
Tatum would go on to explain that he wants to “create a new genre of this form” when talking about stripping in the movie, and that he wants to show professional dancers from all over, even from the world of ballet.
There are still a few months before Magic Mike’s Last Dance takes to the big screen in February 2023, but in the meantime, now’s a good time to check out the remaining 2022 releases on the movie schedule.
