Channing Tatum: I May Need Diaper Lessons
Originally posted 02/01/2013 08:00AM
First time dad-to-be Channing Tatum is already in baby mode – studying books and watching documentaries.
But there's one thing he's still lacking: mastering the art of diapering.
"I have never changed a diaper before, so I may need some help learning," Tatum, 32, told PEOPLE at Thursday's New York premiere of his new movie Side Effects, presented by the Cinema Society and Michael Kors.
"I don't have friends who have kids, so it's going to be an interesting experience to learn how to change a diaper. I hope I don't have any problems where the diaper falls off and the baby [poops] on the ground," said PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive, whose baby with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, 32, is due this summer.

Seen a photo of a rail-thin Matthew McConaughey recently? The actor, who has significantly slimmed down for a new movie role, says there's nothing to worry about.
"I feel fine. I really do," McConaughey, 43, tells The Daily Beast in a new interview, noting that his regime to lose nearly 40 lbs. from his 183-lb. frame was healthy, disciplined and well thought-out.
Nevertheless, that hasn't quelled chatter over the meaty matter of his dramatic weight loss for Dallas Buyers Club, in which he plays the real-life Ron Woodruff, who contracted HIV.

"It was the most painful thing I'll ever do," he tells PEOPLE in this week's issue. "And it's something I'll never do again."

Channing Tatum's male stripper film, Magic Mike, may not open until Friday – but some lucky fans in New York City got an early preview of the actor's moves Wednesday.
During an appearance on NBC's Today show to promote the movie, Tatum, 32, participated in a flash mob with a slew of backup dancers in Rockefeller Plaza, doing a choreographed routine to a slowed-down version of "It's Raining Men." (Watch video below!)

When Matthew McConaughey gets cheeky in his new movie, Magic Mike, rest assured, it's definitely him.
"That's all me up there," the actor tells the Advocate in a new interview of (mostly) baring it all in his striptease scene. "I don't need a stunt a––."
As for the exposure, the actor says he just wanted to go for it.
"I said, 'I gotta dance, man.' I would regret it for the rest of my life if I was in a male stripper movie and didn't get up there and strip myself," he says, noting that his big scene wasn't initially in the script. "At first it was scary as hell, but then it became like a drug and I couldn't wait to do it again."

Joe Manganiello's Biggest Magic Mike Challenge? Wearing a Thong!
Originally posted 04/28/2012 05:00PM
For True Blood's Joe Manganiello, playing a stripper for the upcoming movie Magic Mike meant wearing a thong for the first time.
"I wore these little thongs that literally go up your butt, and it definitely takes getting used to," Manganiello, 35, told PEOPLE at the IWC Schaffhausen watch boutique opening in New York.
"It was uncomfortable at first. It sort of felt like a wedgie," he said, "but once you get into the routine of wearing one, you know what to do and you just do your thing. We all had to suffer a bit for our craft."
