Channing Tatum joins Elton John onstage for Revlon Concert for the Rainforest

Sir Elton John and Channing Tatum

Channing Tatum joined Sir Elton John at the Concert for The Rainforest Fund on April 3rd in New York City’s Carnegie Hall.

It was a star-studded event, and John was thrilled to be a part of the evening — and not just because he had uber-hottie Channing Tatum on hand.

The 21 Jump Street star and Are You Ready For Love singer had the audience giggling in the aisles as they gyrated against one another at the Revlon Concert for the Rainforest in New York City.

Channing Tatum in “21 Jump Street” hits #1 at box office

Sony’s action comedy “21 Jump Street” starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as cops going undercover as high school students took down the animated hit “Dr. Seuss’ the Lorax,” which had been the top flick the previous two weekends.

Studio estimates Sunday put Universal’s “The Lorax” in second-place with $22.8 million, raising its domestic total to $158.4 million.

At No. 3, Disney’s costly sci-fi dud “John Carter” dropped sharply in its second weekend. The Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation took in $13.5 million, down 55 percent from its anemic opening weekend and lifting its domestic total to a measly $53.2 million. “John Carter” reportedly cost $250 million to make.

While tanking in the United States, “John Carter” has done decent business overseas. It took in $40.7 million this weekend to push its international haul to $126.1 million and its worldwide total to $179.3 million.

New pics from Soderbergh’s “Magic Mike” as Chippendales

Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer show off their ripped physiques in this new still from Magic Mike.

The Steven Soderbergh-directed film will also star Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello and Alex Pettyfer.

“Hard R” is how Channing Tatum describes the rating of ‘Magic Mike’ in a recent interview. Tatum — who himself spent eight months as a stripper in his late teens — says the flick “won’t be anywhere near” an NC-17 rating.

Nice to see Soderbergh appreciates the iconic “cuffs and collars” look of the most famous ladies night out, Chippendales.

Channing Tatum looking way handsome – new cover story of DETAILS Magazine

Steven Soderbergh on Channing Tatum: “He has a lot of the qualities I associate with people like George and Matt and Brad in terms of being clear-eyed, hardworking, and masculine. He’s a man. I wish there was a better word, but in movie terms, he’s a man, he comes across on the screen as a man.”

Chippendales experts weigh in on upcoming “Magic Mike” movie cast

So the folks at grantland.com reached out to two experts at The Chippendales – director of operations Kristen Makhatini and lead singer Jaymes Vaughan – to give their expert opinions about the star-studded cast of “Magic Mike” and whether or not the actors have what it takes to make in the Chippendales world.

The consensus seems to be Channing Tatum (“his dancing in his other mainstream movies will hopefully help him come across as more legit as a performer”), Matthew McConaughey (“important thing to keep in mind is that he’s such a fun, free-spirited, goofy party guy; everyone is sort of naturally drawn to everything he does”) and Joe Manganiello (“I think it’s perfect casting. He’s not just a shredded guy, but a masculine guy”) seem to be dead on with the physical and personality skills needed to succeed.  Interesting to read how those in the industry view these things and what it takes to succeed.  It’s not just having a great body – although it’s a good start.

I’d love to see the cast of “Magic Mike” make a visit to the Chippendales show at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas for some “research.”

Fun article to read and see how the experts see things.
