Behind the scenes at “A Streetcar Named Desire” at Yale Rep

Yale Repertory Theatre’s first ever production of Tennessee Williams’s Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire, is staged by Mark Rucker, whose eight previous shows at Yale Rep include Tom Stoppard’s Rough Crossing in 2008.

The cast features René Augesen (last seen at Yale Rep in A Woman of No Importance) as “Blanche DuBois” and Joe Manganiello (HBO’s True Blood) as “Stanley Kowalski.”

The work done at Yale Rep is famous for it’s quality and depth.  And obviously, Joe is a great fit for “Stanley.”  I’m making plans to get up to see this.

Morning (clean shaven) Joe

Randy Report favorite Joe Manganiello arrived at the 10th Annual Style Awards in New York City Wednesday evening slightly less hairy than we’ve come to know him of late.

While certainly we can see the handsome face underneath now, I did like the scruffy, woofy “Alcide” look a lot.  The facial hair was just plain sexy.

But times change, hair grows back.  Joe still has a place on my page.

Grrr…

Channing Tatum: “Magic Mike 2” is in development

The shirtless men of Magic Mike

Get ready to “Channing all over your Tatum”, kids.

Channing Tatum tells The Hollywood Reporter that the sequel to Magic Mike is in development:

“We’re developing Magic Mike 2, but [director Steven Soderbergh] really wants to be done directing movies,” says the new dad, who revealed that he may direct the follow-up himself. “We’ll see. I wish people would lobby him to finish what he started: ‘Come on, man! Stop being stubborn and come back.’ I’ve said that to him, but he is a very fixed-in-his-ways guy, and if he says it, it is hard to change.”

So what will Magic Mike 2 be about? “It will be a road-trip movie, and it will essentially be the movie that everyone thought the first one was going to be: crazy and fun and less slice-of-life and less drama. The first one, we had to make not so cheesy and campy; this one we are going to swing for the fences.”

Joe Manganiello on the cover of MEN’S HEALTH

Joe Manganiello, leading man and werewolf for the hit series True Blood, shares some tips (and shirtless pics) in the July/August issue of Men’s Health Magazine.

In the accompanying article, Joe mentions that he works out twice a day six days a week.

However, that wasn’t always the case.  After appearing in 2002’s Spiderman, his bad habits at the time (two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of whisky a day) caught up to him and he lost his  home, car and agents.  While kicking those bad habits, he worked as a delivery man and construction worker.

And now we get the demi-god that is Joe Manganiello.

Check magazine stands for your copy of Men’s Health to find out how Joe develops those biceps and triceps.
