Filed Under: New Couples

Sorry to break it to you, but the hottest new guy in town is already taken! Channing Tatum, the hunkalicious and athletic costar of Step Up, and his leading lady Jenna Dewan are officially an item! The movie is worth seeing just for their hot dance numbers and apparently it's doing surprisingly good boxoffice. Jenna confessed she and Channing have been together since the movie wrapped. Cute Jenna gained fame when she was said to have been a factor in the breakup of Justin and Britney. Channing and his shaved head are a revelation in this movie. This is a hot new couple to watch.

Step Up Stars Injured Shooting Dance Sequences
Aug 16, 2006 - World Entertainment News Network

Actors Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan went through grueling training to prepare for the teen dance drama Step Up, and they were left battered and bruised.

The film, which features Tatum as a bad boy who fills in as Dewan's dance partner, grossed a surprising $20.7 million at the US box office over the weekend.

He explains, "I did fall on my head once. Jenna bruised her rib doing one lift."

"We were practising it, and I bruised her rib a little bit. You're always sore and you have bruised knees."

Dewan, a real life dancer who has worked with Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, claims the tough conditions brought the cast together and they often socialised together.

She adds, "We had like our spots in Baltimore (Maryland) where all of us would get together and go eat and go dancing. We'd actually go dancing after we were dancing all day!"

‘Sunshine,’ ‘Nelson’ top Spirit Awards field
Road-trip romp, classroom drama earn five nominations each
Associated Press
Updated: 2 hours, 57 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES - The road-trip romp "Little Miss Sunshine" and the gritty classroom drama "Half Nelson" led contenders Tuesday for the Spirit Awards honoring independent films, each earning five nominations, including best picture.

Other best-picture nominees were "American Gun," a drama about the proliferation of firearms in America; "The Dead Girl," a thriller centered on a serial killer's female victims; and "Pan's Labyrinth," a Spanish-language tale about a girl's dark fantasy life in Fascist Spain.

Maverick filmmaker Robert Altman, who died last week, earned a best-director nomination for his final film, "A Prairie Home Companion." The new James Bond, Daniel Craig, received a supporting-male actor nomination for the Truman Capote drama "Infamous," in which he plays a death-row inmate.

The Spirit Awards, formerly known as the Independent Spirit Awards, honor films produced on comparatively small budgets of less than $20 million. The awards will be presented Feb. 24, the day before the Academy Awards.

"Little Miss Sunshine," the summer mini-hit about a dysfunctional family's comic trek to a child's beauty pageant, also earned two supporting-actor nominations, for Alan Arkin and Paul Dano. Stars Greg Kinnear, Toni Collette and Steve Carell were shut out in the lead-acting categories.

The film also was nominated for best director (husband and wife Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris) and best first screenplay (Michael Arndt).

"Half Nelson" earned lead-acting nominations for Ryan Gosling, who plays an inspiring inner-city teacher with a drug problem, and Shareeka Epps, who plays a promising student who becomes both his pupil and counselor.

Ryan Fleck earned two nominations for "Half Nelson," for best director and first screenplay, co-written with Anna Boden.

Other nominees for best female lead were Catherine O'Hara, "For Your Consideration"; Elizabeth Reaser, "Sweet Land"; Michelle Williams, "Land of Plenty"; and Robin Wright Penn, "Sorry, Haters."

Joining Gosling in the best male lead category were Aaron Eckhart, "Thank You for Smoking"; Edward Norton, "The Painted Veil"; Ahmad Razvi, "Man Push Cart"; and Forest Whitaker, "American Gun."

Supporting-actress nominees: Melonie Diaz, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints"; Marcia Gay Harden, "American Gun"; Mary Beth Hurt, "The Dead Girl"; Frances McDormand, "Friends with Money"; and Amber Tamblyn, "Stephanie Daley."

Along with Arkin, Craig and Dano, supporting-actor nominees were Raymond J. Barry, "Steel City," and Channing Tatum, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints."

The Spirit Award nominations mark the beginning of a flurry of key awards announcements leading up to Jan. 23's Oscar nominations. December brings Golden Globe nominations, best-of-the-year picks from major critics groups and other film honors.

Since they honor independent and sometimes obscure films, the Spirit Awards often do not reflect the overall field that will compete for the Oscars and other high-profile Hollywood awards. Last year, though, many key Spirit and Oscar nominees overlapped, including "Capote," "Brokeback Mountain" and "Good Night, and Good Luck."

Nominees were chosen by members of the nonprofit cinema groups Film Independent and the Independent Film Project.

If that's true...bye-bye career. In all seriousness, he'll probably deny the article, once his star rises.

G.I. Joe Movie Trilogy on the Horizon



Channing Tatum, the actor who is probably most famously known for his roles in "Step Up" and "Step Up 2 the Streets" (at least to me, he is) is seen here on the set of his latest film, which is the big-screen adaptation of the Hasbro toy and cartoon series, G.I. Joe. According to one of the movie's stars, Dennis Quaid, it's going to be a trilogy. "They're definitely out to do a franchise, so this is actually my first three-picture deal," said Quaid to reporters.

I hope the fact that Channing is involved means that there will somehow be an international dance-off that will determine the course of human life on the planet as we know it.

Jenna Dewan-Channing Tatum's Wedding Coming Soon
By Laura Hahn

Channing Tatum and fiancée Jenna Dewan like to keep their lips sealed about their engagement, but few people can miss the huge ring on her finger.

"Almost everybody goes, 'Oh my God, that is so big,' " Dewan told PEOPLE at the New York premiere of Tatum's movie Fighting. "And I'm like, 'I know, I feel the same way.' "

Although she wouldn't give details, the actress-dancer told PEOPLE that the wedding of the two 28-year-olds will happen soon. "We're so busy, and you know when you're so busy, wedding planning is so hard to do," she says. "But it will be soon. Sooner than later."

Dewan says that when it comes to planning the big day, "I seriously haven't even thought about it. I'm the worst bride in the world. I'm just so happy, and I'm so enjoying being engaged. I don't want to rush anything."

Meanwhile, when asked about wedding plans, Tatum would only say, "I'm sorry, I kind of like to keep it a little more private."

So does the couple, who became engaged last September, feel any different now than they did before their engagement? "I think [we feel] the same," says Dewan. "We're both so happy. It's great."

Does anyone else remember Howard Stern's "Jenna Dewan" game? It was a game based on "celebrities" whose names you shouldn't know. As in, the only reason anybody knows Jenna Dewan is because she went out with Clooney (and Shane West).
