CTU NEWS: Listen to the ‘Step Up’ Soundtrack and Songs from ‘Step Up 2: The Streets’ on the New CTU MP3 Player
July 31, 2007
I recently helped Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan’s good friend Josh, design and create the Official Samantha Jade Fan Site at SamanthJadeFans.com, because he has been so helpful to CTU by sending us lots of personal pictures on behalf of the couple. You can check out the fan site by clicking on the screen shot below:
When I created that site, I figured out how to put an MP3 player on it so fans could listen to Samantha Jade’s songs. Now Channing Tatum fans can benefit from that discovery, because I have added the new CTU MP3 Player to the blog.
You can now listen to the entire ‘Step Up’ soundtrack, and I have also added Cassie’s song for ‘Step Up 2: The Streets’. All you have to do is click on the song you want to hear.
I will also periodically add songs from other Channing Tatum movies very soon. You can thank CTU reader Tina from the Philippines for suggesting that I add the player to the blog. I hope you enjoy the new Channing Tatum Unwrapped MP3 Player!
BLAST FROM THE PAST: Channing Tatum Is Having a Moment
July 31, 2007
Here is one of my favorite stills from Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan’s dance movie ‘Step Up’. It was also taken during my all time favorite dance movie scene.
More importantly, it’s an Ultra High Quality (UHQ) picture that allows you to see pratically every beautiful little hair follicle growing out of Channing’s head.
Believe it or not, I recently found this and 86 other high quality images of Channing from lots of different movies, photo shoots, and public appearances. I’m in the process of uploading them to the photo gallery and I will make a post today or tomorrow to let you know when I am done. Just consider this image a sneak peak.
In my never-ending search for anything Channing-related, I also found this old Entertainment Weekly article that was published on my birthday last year (August 25, 2006) a few weeks after ‘Step Up’ was released.
It’s another short interview, but I highlighted in red the part that kind of caught my attention. Hopefully I’m not the only one who gets the well-placed double meaning in Channing’s answer. If I am, then shame on me. Enjoy! 
Channing Tatum Is Having a Moment
Channing Tatum has had a big year — The ”Step Up” star has stepped up in Hollywood
By Tim Stack
One look and it’s easy to imagine Channing Tatum’s early career as a pinup for Dolce & Gabbana and an extra in Ricky Martin’s ”She Bangs” video. What’s surprising about the 26-year-old star of STEP UP — which earned $20.7 million over its opening weekend — is that he never studied dance: ”I basically freestyled a lot,” he says. ”I’m really good at physical things.” Well, then. Not only does the ex-football player have rhythm, he has charisma to spare — as evidenced by turns in this year’s SHE’S THE MAN and Sundance fave A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS, a coming-of-age indie set in Queens, out Sept. 29. But the Florida native is most excited about shooting Boys Don’t Cry director Kimberly Peirce’s long-awaited, untitled follow-up film. Tatum and Ryan Phillippe play Iraq vets brought home and immediately ordered back overseas. ”The material is so good,” says Tatum. ”Some of the best I’ve ever read.” Luckily, there’s no dancing required.

And my retort to Channing’s declaration that he is really good at physical things? Well, the most PG-13 thing I can say is…I bet you are Mr.Tatum…I just bet you are. 
NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum Poster in Sugar Magazine’s August 2007 Lad Mag in the UK
July 29, 2007
I just learned that Channing Tatum will be in the August 2007 issue of the UK’s Lad Mag which is produced by the makers of the popular monthly UK teen girls magazine, Sugar Magazine.
The cover image you see here is from an Ebayer who is selling a copy of the magazine, so I don’t have a high quality scan of it, but I figured I would give my UK readers a heads up so you can buy it when the next issue of the magazine is released on the stands.
From what I can tell from the cover of the magazine, Channing will be featured in Lad Mag’s “Raw Celeb Hotness: Sexy Poster Special” section.
You can view Sugar Magazine’s Lad Mag website by clicking on the image below:
I think that Channing’s issue of the Lad Mag will be released around August 28, 2007, so be on the look out for it. Also, if you do get the magazine and you happen to have a scanner, feel free to send any scans to ctu@channingtatumunwrapped.com so I can share Channing in all of his “raw celebrity hottness” with fans around the world. Thanks!

Channing Tatum’s Movie ‘Stop Loss’ Sheds Light on the Harsh Realities of War
July 28, 2007
Like many of the war movies that will be coming out in the next year or so, Channing Tatum and Ryan Phillippe’s highly-anticipated war drama, ‘Stop Loss’, was created to make people think twice about the US’s involvement in the current war in Iraq by showing us the harsh realities of today’s vets who return home from the war and the internal struggle that soldiers deal with when they are forced to return to duty even though they thought their tour was over.
The New York Times online recently published article on some of the films that will be coming out soon and in the article, we learn a little more about ‘Stop Loss’ and the contraversial timing of its release.
Here’s a snippet of the article called ‘While Real Bullets Fly, Movies Bring War Home’
by writer Michael Cieply:
…Other coming films also use the damaged Iraq veteran to raise questions about a continuing war. In “Grace Is Gone,” directed by James C. Strouse and due in October from the Weinstein Company, John Cusack and two daughters struggle with the loss of a wife and mother who is killed on duty. Kimberly Peirce’s “‘Stop-Loss’,” set for release in March by Paramount, meanwhile, casts Ryan Phillippe as a veteran who defies an order that would send him back to Iraq.
In the past, Hollywood usually gave the veteran more breathing space. William Wyler’s “Best Years of Our Lives,” about the travails of those returning from World War II, was released more than a year after the war’s end. Similarly Hal Ashby’s “Coming Home” and Oliver Stone’s “Born on the Fourth of July,” both stories of Vietnam veterans, came well after the fall of Saigon.
“Media in general responds much more quickly than ever before,” said Scott Rudin, a producer of “Stop-Loss.” “Why shouldn’t movies do the same?” He said his film was deliberately scheduled to be released in the middle of the presidential campaign season…
‘Stop Loss’ will have it’s theatrical release in the US on March 28, 2008. Thanks JC for bringing this article to my attention.
