Channing Tatum // Magic Mike for Entertainment Weekly

Channing Tatum is such a tease on the new cover of Entertainment Weekly.

Promoting his hotly-anticipated stripper movie, he's joined on the inside cover with his Magic Mike costars Matt Bomer, Matthew McConaughey and Joe Manganiello (below).

It's hard to complain with these four hunks on one cover, but allow me to do so anyway: I only wish we could see a little more of studly Bomer and Tatum, ify'knowhatimean.

At least we've got the movie for that, which comes out next month.

"Actors, generally, if we finish our scenes early one day, we go home. It wasn’t like that on this set. Especially during the dances—we were there cheering everybody on,” Tatum says of the shooting process.

Alanis Morissette embraces Havoc and Bright Lights

My blogging hiatus breaks with this very exciting news: Alanis Morissette will release a new album entitled Havoc and Bright Lights on August 28.

The Canadian icon has released Guardian, her first single from the album, with the above lyrics video and a fah-lawless performance on last night's Dancing With The Stars.

I will admit: I'm not a fan of singers having babies and then singing about them, and this song is clearly about motherhood. Still, I'm loving the sound and the energy behind it, and you can't touch Alanis when it comes to lyrics.

I can't wait to hear more from Havoc, which promises to be far from a lullaby album. According to Rolling Stone: "Nearly every tune has a monster chorus – from the ballad 'Havoc' to 'Celebrity,' a scathing takedown of America's obsession with fame."

"Yes, it was inspired by specific people," Alanis told the mag. "But I'll never talk about that, 'cause it's just rude."

In that case, sing it out, Alanis! Cannot wait for more.

Hiatus

Apologies friends, for the lack of blogging over the past few weeks.

My life has become a combination of deadlines and travel as of late, which leaves me little time to focus on the celebs I love so. It hurts me as much as you, I swear.

Things should be settling down mid-May, so please bear with potential silence a little bit longer.

Surviving Oprah's Lifeclass a test in itself

We were four hours into Oprah's Lifeclass when I turned to my mom and said "This is officially too cult-like."

We had already sat (stood, danced, hugged, shook hands, clapped, jumped up and down) through speeches by four of the Big O's inspirational friends at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Now we were standing, dumbfounded, as 9,000 women around us swayed their arms in the air back and forth to a generic spiritually-uplifting tune, at the prompting of an OWN producer.

"Holy crap, is Jesus Christ coming out next?" I wondered.

It was a question I knew the answer to. Oprah would soon be making her first appearance on the stage. And to these people, yeah, Oprah's pretty much God.
