March 12, 2010
Last week Jenna Dewan-Tatum attended TheWrap.com’s 2010 Awards Season Nominee Celebration at the new Four Seasons Hotel Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills, California wearing one of her favorite design houses.
In Alice + Olivia’s popular Wrapped Goddess dress and jewelry from Energy Muse, Jenna has won, not one, not two, but THREE different fashion face-offs voted on by US Weekly, People, and Hollywood Life readers.
Jenna tweeted…”hmmm maybe it’s because of my “luck” energy muse bracelet?”. She could be right, but honestly, she really didn’t need the help…she looked stunning at the event. Fans can click on the three images below to check out Jenna’s clear victory in all of the face-off articles…
After attending numerous different pre-oscar bashes, Jenna headed on over to Santa Fe, New Mexico to visit husband Channing Tatum as he films Steven Soderbergh’s action-revenge spy thriller ‘Knockout‘. She tweeted out the pic below to show everyone the beautiful new vintage native American earrings she found in the area and then she tweeted…
- “Watching Steven Soderbergh on set is beyond…a real genius of his craft. and nice and humble. love it.”
After Chan finishes filming ‘Knockout‘ (which will most likely be released sometime in 2011), he’ll head back to the streets of New York to film Dito Montiel’s ‘Son of No One‘ in late March or April.
Fans can check out Jenna in the March 22, 2010 issue of US Weekly when it hits newsstands tomorrow. Make sure you pick up a copy!

Channing Tatum Unwrapped Partners with BuzzMedia…The Cinderella Story Continues
March 10, 2010
Since I started this site in 2007, CTU has had more red letter days than I can count. From Chan asking us to be his official site to visiting the set of ‘Fighting’, getting a Teen Choice Award nomination, being recognized in Italian Vogue and attending press junkets and premieres for Chan’s films, doing this site has been an amazing and surreal experience from practically day one, and I’m happily going to add today to that list. Here’s why…
In January, we had a problem that most websites would love to have. We actually had too many visitors hit the site at one time. The increased traffic not only took down CTU, it also caused our hosting company enough heartburn that they *politely* asked us to find another home…and quickly.
My goal was to find a new, permanent home that could not only properly handle all of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s fans, but could also help CTU reach even more fans around the world.
I’m excited to announce that we’ve officially partnered with BuzzMedia, and as of last night, CTU is now safely sitting in our new home. I’m really proud of this next step in CTU’s short, but eventful, history; 1) because it’s amazing to see how much the site has grown in three short years and 2) because CTU has now joined a prestigious list of blogs that BuzzMedia has chosen to work with.
We are joining BuzzMedia’s family of websites which include official sites for celebs like Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, and Nicole Richie, and celebrity news blogs like Just Jared, Celebuzz, and What Would Tyler Durden Do?. It’s kind of the holy mecca for blogs, and I couldn’t be more excited that they felt CTU belongs anywhere near that group.
What does this mean for Chan and Jenna’s fans? We have lots of plans in the works, some of which, I will be sharing with you all in the very near future. Since our new home is able to handle all of the traffic, I’m am going to start using the Google blog less. From here on out, fans should make ChanningTatumUnwrapped.com your sole destination to get the latest news on our favorite couple (aka Chenna).
Mostly, this new step means the site will continue to grow, possibly faster than ever before, and I can sleep soundly at night with the knowledge that BuzzMedia is looking out for us and can keep us up and running when we encounter any inevitable traffic spikes.
I truly love everything about CTU, so I have to thank Chan, Jenna, Chan’s sister Paige, and family for their support in this big move. Without them, none of this would be possible.
Both Chan and Jenna have been blessed with a fairytale life and could easily be selfish and keep it all to themselves. Instead, they share it wholeheartedly and without hesitation with their family, friends, and their fans. Honestly, I don’t think I could ever thank them all enough for the opportunities they have given me, but I can promise to always work really hard to earn my keep.
I also have to thank all of you, from CTU readers who’ve been with me since day one to those who are just joining the family today. I’ve said it before, and I’m going to say it again…
CTU is what it is because of the support of the fans. Thank you so much, and I’m REALLY EXCITED about everything this new partnership will bring to Chan and Jenna’s fans all around the world! HUGS to my CTU family!

NEWS FLASH: Jenna Dewan-Tatum Becomes a StarDoll Superstar
March 9, 2010
While Channing Tatum wraps up filming on his latest project (which is why he could not attend/present at this year’s Oscars), wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum joined Academy Award® nominees, presenters, and some of the most well-known film stars in the world for the sold-out eighth annual “Night Before” party to benefit the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF).
It’s the hottest pre-Academy Awards ticket and money raised at the event supports the extensive programs and services (residential retirement community and child-care center, health care, human services, financial assistance) that the MPTF provides to more than 60,000 members of the entertainment industry every year.
Hosted by MPTF chair Jeffrey Katzenberg, the event serves as the largest money-raiser for the fund, and was once again held at the historic Beverly Hills Hotel, where a huge crowd of celebrities and entertainment industry executives came out to support the MPTF.
Attendees received gifts from sponsors like Hewlett Packard, Target and L’Oreal which included products from L’Oreal, Lancome, and Kiehl’s, bowties and cummerbunds for the men, and dresses, bodysuits, and scarves for the women courtesy of Target’s guest designer Zac Posen.
Jenna was able to rubs elbows with host committee members like George Clooney, Sean Penn, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Oscar nominee guests like Colin Firth, Morgan Freeman, Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock. Before and after the event she tweeted…
- “Getting ready for big Oscar party tonight. The “night before” dreamworks party. Dollin’ it up. “Work!” as Ru-Paul would say ha…What a night! I believe I met the entire town of Hollywood tonight..goodnight all xo”
To keep things more personal and low-key, the only people not invited were press agents and members of the press. No press also means no pics of the ever-gorgeous Jenna from the event. No need to fret, because thanks to StarDoll.com, fans can get the next best thing…
A couple of years ago, StarDoll.com, a popular virtual paperdoll community, created a new doll for Channing Tatum that fans could have fun dressing up, and now it’s Jenna’s turn.
StarDoll just released her look-a-like Superstar Doll with a wardrobe full of unique clothes that we’ve seen Jenna wear over the years. Below, you can check out some the looks from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, promotional stills from ‘Step Up’, and ELLE Magazine’s 15th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute…
The membership to StarDoll.com is completely FREE and most of their members are girls between the ages of 7 and 17. You can click on either Chan or Jenna’s paperdolls below to check out the site that currently boasts over 52 million members…

Jenna Dewan Really Cooking with Husband Channing Tatum
- By Scott Huver
“I’ve been trying really hard to be more domesticated,” Dewan told PEOPLE during TheWrap.com’s awards season party. “It’s not in my nature to clean and cook, and so I’ve been really good about it. And we just actually had professional organizers that came to our house and did a whole bunch of organizing, which was the best thing that I could’ve done for the New Year, ever!

IN THE PRESS: Jenna Dewan-Tatum is a Gap Girl on JustJared.com and PopSugar.com
February 26, 2010
Before it’s official opening, Jenna Dewan-Tatum got an opportunity to shop at The Gap’s new 1969 Jeans store on Robertson Boulevard in L.A. on Wednesday before she shot her PETA campaign on Thursday.
Jenna has been working extremely hard to get ready for her shoot. From eating healthy and depriving herself of some of her favorite dishes (anything in the Mexican food category) to working out with top celeb trainer Tracy Anderson to losing sleep as she dreamed about working out, she did everything she could to make sure she was ready for Thursday’s shoot. After which, she tweeted…
-
“Just finished the @peta ad! Had so much fun, can’t WAIT for u guys to see! A sexy steamy ad to bring awareness to the abuse of exotic animals…please think before u buy snake, python, alligator purses/shoes!!”
What made Jenna want to star in the campaign? PETA tells me that she was moved by THIS exotic skins investigation. I do want to warn you, because it’s a tough video to watch.
As I mentioned before, Jenna also participated in a little retail therapy at The Gap’s new 1969 Jeans store on Robertson Boulevard on Wednesday (along with other celebs like Kate Beckinsale, Eva Longoria, Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O’Connell, Debra Messing, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Selma Blair). Fans can read the articles and check out photos of Jenna leaving the store courtesy of JustJared.com and Popsugar below…

VIDEOS OF THE WEEK: ‘Dear John’ Press Tour and ‘Step Up’ Favorites
February 19, 2010
Most of today’s Videos of the Week are related to Channing Tatum’s highly successful new movie ‘Dear John‘, which released in the US, Canada, and a few other countries on February 5th, just released in South Africa today, and has a sneak preview in Indonesia this weekend before it’s official February 25th debut in that country.
We also have a video that was submitted by Fabulous Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum fan Trecia T., and it’s an oldie, but goodie, from their ‘Step Up’ days. Enjoy!
First up, we have what is hands downs my #1 favorite interview that Chan and co-star Amanda Seyfried did during the ‘Dear John’ press tour.
It was done on the Toronto leg of the tour, and you may recognize interviewer Jessi Cruickshank from “The Hills”, “The City”, and “Laguna Beach” after shows on MTV. I’ve learned that you can always count on Jessi for a laugh, and this interview was no different…
One of the questions I see most often from fans is “What is that song in the ‘Dear John’ trailer?”. As most of you now know, the main song in the trailer is Snow Patrol’s “Set the Fire to the Third Bar” featuring Martha Wainwright. The film released a music video for the song with footage of Chan and Amanda from the movie. Fans can watch it below…
After Chan’s hilarious Chelsea Lately interview, he headed on over to Rogue for Jonesy’s Jukebox for a much more laid back interview with Steve Jones, the co-founder of the Sex Pistols (a popular 70’s rock group). Listen in as they talk about Chan’s provocative interview with Chelsea Handler, his love for football, the south, becoming an actor, and everything in between…
In this last ‘Dear John’ video, we have a quick PopSugar report on their coverage of the San Fransisco press tour stop where Chan and Amanda made fans really happy by passing out lots of hugs at the event and where Chan first introduced fans to his new site PostThelove.com.
You even get a glimpse of Chan’s friend and business partner Reid who was there to get footage for the Post The Love “I Love You” video that Chan made for fans to help launch the site (which has well over 6000 thousand members)…
Chan’s press tours have gotten so huge over the past three years, that it’s impossible for me to cover every single interview, but here’s a few more that I thought you might like…
- Soho New York Apple Store Q&A with Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried (Free iTunes Download)
- Y 98.1 in Illinois Radio Interview (MP3)
- Backstage.com Interview: “‘Dear’ Destiny”
- Collider.com Interview: “Channing Tatum Interview DEAR JOHN, Plus Info on Dito Montiel’s SON OF NO ONE and THE EAGLE OF THE NINTH”
- The Finer Dandy Interview: “Channing Tatum is a no-limit soldier…of love”
- Parade.com Interview: “Channing Tatum: ‘I’ve Been Dumped More Times Than I Care to Remember’”
- Vancouver Sun Interview: “Channing Tatum describes how he lost it in Dear John, a movie he insists is not a chick flick”
If you missed any of my articles on the press tour, no worries. You can CLICK HERE to read all of them and HERE to check out hundreds if photos from the entire tour.
Last, but definitely not least, we have the Ciara Featuring Chamillionaire - Get Up music video submitted by fan Trecia, and here’s what she had to say about why she loves this video…
- “I really like this video because well, for obvious reasons, both Channing and Jenna are in it! =D I still remember the first time I’ve ever watched this video. It was when “Step Up” was released back in 06′ and was making a huge splash on Asian shores. Then, one day, while I was flipping through some channels on TV, and I saw this video. I didn’t know who Chan and Jen were back then, and I remember thinking, “oh, who’s that cute guy in the video? And both of them can really dance!”…I almost gave “Step Up” a pass but this video made me change my mind! What with the black outfits and dancing in the rain, they make dancing so damn sexy! So, I watched the film and guess what? I totally fell head over heels in love with it. I bought the DVD and the soundtrack, and you don’t even want to know the number of times I have watched this film. (hint: Its a 2 digit number!) Anyway, all I want to say is, if its not because of this video, I would have missed out on a great film and I won’t be typing this out at this very moment. =)”
BIG thanks to Trecia for your submission!! If you have a favorite video that you would like me to consider, send a link to the video to votw@channingtatumunwrapped.com and tell me why you like it. I will post it and your explanation on the blog.

MOVIE BYTES: ‘Step Up’, ‘The Eagle of the Ninth’, ‘Son of No One’, and ‘Knockout’
February 15, 2010
While Channing Tatum’s newly released romantic drama ‘Dear John‘ continues to do well at the domestic box office (making well-over $53 million in the first week), remains a top topic of conversation on Twitter, and begins to release overseas, his numerous other projects continue to march on.
I found a few bits of news about Chan’s past and future films ‘Step Up‘ , ‘Eagle of the Ninth‘, ‘Son of No One‘, and ‘Knockout‘ this past week. Check out today’s Movie Bytes to get the latest scoop. Enjoy!!!
STEP UP
Channing Tatum’s and Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s 2006 dance hit will premiere on ABC Family this week. Since the two tied the knot last July, we all now know for sure that the sparks between Chan and Jenna weren’t just acting. Although they didn’t start dating until after the film wrapped, fan’s can watch the two fall in love for real on Sunday, February 21 at 8:30/7:30 Central. You can also CLICK HERE for more details.
EAGLE OF THE NINTH
In addition to the official Facebook page, Focus Pictures just launched an official site, announced a release date, and released the first trailer (which plays before ‘Dear John‘) for Channing Tatum’s Roman drama ‘The Eagle of the Ninth‘.
For those who don’t know, the movie is helmed by award-winning director Kevin Macdonald and is based on the best-selling, classic 1954 teen novel by Rosemary Sutcliff, and is set in the dangerous world of second-century Britain.
In 140 AD, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (played by Channing) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Accompanied only by his British slave Esca (Jamie Bell), Marcus sets out across Hadrian’s Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia - to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father’s memory, and retrieve the lost legion’s golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth. Donald Sutherland portrays Marcus’ uncle Aquila, who has retired in Britain; Mark Strong is cast as Guern, an ex-soldier who holds crucial information about the Ninth.
Make sure you fan the Facebook page to get the latest photos, videos, and scoop on the film, which is now set to hit theaters in September 24, 2010. Fans can also CLICK HERE to see even more photos from the film in the CTU Photo Gallery.
SON OF NO ONE
Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Channing Tatum’s dramatic thriller ‘Son of No One‘ just acquired a new distributor overseas. Here’s what Deadline Hollywood’s founder and editor Nikki Finke had to say about the film’s status and casting…
- “Channing Tatum’s weekend success in Dear John comes at an auspicious time, as Nu Image takes over world sales agent duties in Berlin on what it says is his Son Of No One. Though UTA says there’s no deal yet with its client, Channing is the draw in a drama that reunites him with writer/director Dito Montiel, with whom he made Fighting and A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints. The Montiel-scripted thriller is about a young cop who is at odds with his superiors and fellow officers over a murder cover-up. NuImage says Tatum’s co-stars would be Katie Holmes, Terrence Howard, Ray Liotta and Al Pacino. Shooting begins April in New York. Hannibal Pictures put the pic together, with Millennium Films as producer.”
In a recent Collider.com interview, Chan had this to say about the film when asked if his next Dito Montiel film was totally different from ‘A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints’…
- “It’s Saints-esque really. It’s like the grown-up “Saints.” Where “Saints” focused in on the kids, it’ll be flip-flopped. It’ll be focused on adults this time with kids as well. Look, that guy’s lived a crazy life and he’s known a lot of crazy people and this will be a true story or pieces of it, and it’ll be insane - (Robert) DeNiro, Ray Liotta, I don’t know if Terrence Howard is going to be in it, I think he might, and a bunch of other people with some really strong personalities coming in. It’s like a psycho cop New York thriller and it’ll be Dito-esque again. With “Fighting,” we just tried to go and do something fun, and then this is him going back and swinging for the fence again into his crazy mind. It’s an independent film so he’ll be allowed to do whatever he wants.”
‘Son of No One‘ is currently scheduled to be released in 2011.
KNOCKOUT
As Chan posted in his Post The Love Valentine’s Day message to fans, he’s headed off to Dublin, Ireland to shoot Steven Soderbergh’s action-revenge spy thriller ‘Knockout‘. In case you missed it, here’s Chan V-Day message to fans…
- “My love goes out all this beautiful day of love!! So sorry I’ve been gone for the last few days. Things have been crazy with the film and I had to get ready to go to dublin for a new job. that will take me away from the ones I love in my life. Especially my wife, sorry baby. Anyways I will be post more soon. Love you guys.”
The movie will star Mixed Martial Arts champion and non-actor Gina Carano in the lead role as a black ops spy that is betrayed by her team. Chan (who will also film some of ‘Knockout‘ in Barcelona, Spain) will play one of the elite specialists on Carano’s team named Aaron — a military gearhead-type who’s sent to try and bring her back in once she’s been double-crossed and gone rogue; trying to figure out who exactly is setting her up. But there is no love lost between the characters which makes his mission more difficult.
The movie also stars Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, and Michael Fassbender and is scheduled to hit theaters some time in 2010 or 2011.

CTU EXCLUSIVE: Chan and Jenna Behind-the-Scenes at Ellen Degeneres
February 11, 2010
With best friend Adam and his wife Christin, sister Paige, and wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum in tow, Channing Tatum made his first ever appearance on Ellen yesterday. Based on the hilarious photo that was released prior to the show, it was quite clear that fun was had by all at the Tuesday taping of Ellen where Chan also raised money for Haiti by giving very excited audience members hugs and kisses.
Paige, who was nice enough to take a behind-the-scenes pic of Chan and Jenna in his dressing room just for CTU, said that everyone was laughing hysterically before, during, and after the appearance and had a ton of fun at the filming. When you watch the interview below, you’ll know exactly why…
Big thanks to Paige for the great pic! And make sure you tune into Chelsey Lately tonight, because Chan will be making his first appearance on that show too.

PETA Chooses Jenna Dewan-Tatum for New Campaign
February 10, 2010
If you know Jenna Dewan-Tatum for any time at all, then you know how much she loves animals, so I was really excited for her when I read the great news she shared with everyone on her official Twitter this week.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has chosen Jen for their latest campaign. Here’s what she tweeted to fans….
What made Jenna want to star in the campaign? PETA tells me that she was moved by the exotic skins investigation below. I do want to warn you, because it’s a tough video to watch…
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, with more than 2 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. They focus their attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. They work through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.
CONGRATS to Jenna!!! I’m sure her campaign is going to be AMAZING!!!
