Joe Manganiello, formerly the woofy AF werewolf on True Blood, read thirst tweets about himself written by fans for Buzzfeed Celeb.

One fan said they’d let Joe ‘raw them into the ground,” which was a new phrase for Joe but he plans on adding it to his lexicon.

Another wrote, “I’d call Joe Manganiello daddy in front of my actual daddy.”

Manganiello is currently appearing in the action/super-hero flick, Archenemy on Apple TV+.

Longtime readers will recall I had quite the ‘thing’ for Mr. Manganiello. I often had ‘Daily Joe’ posts throughout the week 🙂

Channing Tatum Announces “Magic Mike Live! Las Vegas” Coming In 2017

Channing Tatum announces MAGIC MIKE LIVE LAS VEGAS

Via press release:

Actor and producer Channing Tatum has heard the call of women everywhere, clamoring for more Magic Mike. Next spring, their dreams will come true as Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas will become the permanent home of Mike Lane, America’s favorite handyman-turned-stripper, with MAGIC MIKE LIVE LAS VEGAS – a complete re-imagination of the male revue based on the hit movies “Magic Mike” and “Magic Mike XXL.”

Currently anticipated to open for preview performances in March 2017, MAGIC MIKE LIVE LAS VEGAS will recreate the mythic Club Domina with a sizzling 360-degree dance and acrobatic strip tease spectacular, guaranteed to bring on the heat.

“‘Magic Mike’ has been a special and very personal project for me, and this show is a natural extension of that,” said Tatum. “So while I won’t be on stage as Mike, MAGIC MIKE LIVE LAS VEGAS is my vision and I’m looking forward to spending a lot of time in Las Vegas creating something that will give women what they really want.”

The experience starts as you enter Club Domina, a real life version of the club at the foundation of “Magic Mike XXL,” where men cater to women’s desires. The fully re-envisioned cabaret nightclub space will be unlike any other in Las Vegas with three elaborately designed bars, an integrated stage and seating for 450 guests. Expressly created to capture the magnetism of a film franchise that has grossed nearly $300 million, this new venue and its immersive production will be one of the most unique entertainment experiences in Las Vegas.

In a show that happens in front of, behind, above and all around the audience, a dozen of the hottest and most talented men in the country will bring Mike and his crew to life through sexy and daring themed dance and strip routines, each punctuated by one-of-a-kind acts from a wildly diverse cast of performers.

In addition to direction and creative leadership from Tatum, film franchise choreographer Alison Faulk will once again reprise her role, creating the stage show’s choreography.

MAGIC MIKE LIVE LAS VEGAS has also struck a content partnership with the leading digital media property Cosmopolitan.com to create original video series and content designed to drive excitement and engagement around the show.

Visit MagicMikeLiveLasVegas.com for the most up to date information about the show, the cast and priority ticket opportunities.

But what about Joe Manganiello? Will HE be there on stage? We want “Big Dick Richie!” We want “Big Dick Richie!”

Premiering March 18th on Netflix, Paul Reubens brings “Pee-Wee Herman” back to celluloid life to remind us that it’s just fine to be different in Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday.

Bonus points here as Randy Report favorite Joe Manganiello co-stars as a mysterious, chocolate shake-drinking stranger who encourages Pee-Wee to get out and LIVE a bit.

For those of you who wonder how “Pee-Wee” seems to stay eternally youthful,  Reubens told Business Insider recently that Netflix spent about $2 million on digital retouching.

Said Reubens, “Pee-wee doesn’t work, to me, with age mixed into it.”

Watch the trailer below:
