Today, we’re celebrating some heroic acts from some of our favorite celebrities.

HOLLYSCOOP EXCLUSIVE
Channing Tatum just gave an interview to Details magazine where he admitted, "I know I'm not the best actor" and with a face like that, does he really need to be?

He always has his shirt off anyway, so why not? Matthew McConaughey and White Collar star Matt Bomer have officially signed on to Magic Mike, a Steven Soderbergh movie about male strippers.

I'm guessing McConaughey showed up for auditions wearing nothing but a Speedo and a cowboy hat, and when casting praised him for his costume, he responded, "what costume?"

The movie is inspired by Channing Tatum's real-life days as a male stripper. Yep, Channing Tatum used to windmill for money. Or whatever dance moves male strippers do, I have no idea. In the flick, Tatum will play an exotic dancer named Magic Mike, and McConaughey plays a retired stripper. Bomer and Alex Pettyfer will also play strippers in the movie.

Tatum danced back in 1999 and describes it as "a wild and pivotal time in my life."
G.I. Joe star Channing Tatum is so proud of his package, it became the subject of a new article in Details magazine.

While the majority of the February 2010 article is devoted to his package, the first sentence in the piece is "Channing Tatum's penis is gross," and goes on to describe his penis as a "hot dog that's been left too long on the grill. The tip is hot-pink, singed and shriveled."

Channing recently scorched his stick on a film set and lived to tell his tale--to the world. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Channing on his burnt penis: “It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life…I’ve been to the hospital, gotten stitches, had broken fingers and toes. But this was a suffocating kind of pain…Now my penis is fantastic!”

Channing on depression: “The longer I took Dexedrine, the worse I felt. It sucked all the personality from me. I’d get depressed. I would think suicidal – I was never personally suicidal, but I could see how some kids were, how they’d be, like, I can’t take this anymore.”

Channing on his dancing: “I’ve been wanting to talk about this forever! You have publicists and managers saying no, and I’m like, Mmm-mmm, it’s gonna come out… I think it’s hil-larious… I’m gonna make a movie about it…I’m happy I did it.”
No, not that lottery. He won the fame lottery. Newly married Channing Tatum's career is on fire but he has no idea how he got this far.

But just as a thank you to his fans he decided to shed his clothes for the upcoming issue of GQ magazine. In the article he talks about getting lucky in Hollywood, his new movie, and his favorite place in the world.

Here are some highlights from the interview via Just Jared:

Channing on how he fell into Hollywood: “I got crazy lucky. Like, sometimes I think I won the lottery or something. At times it feels like the bottom’s gonna fall out. Just ’cause I don’t really know how I got here. But I just keep moving forward, and it just keeps getting better and better.”

Channing on his movies Step Up and Coach Carter: “[They're called] tweeners—you know, those midlevel-budget movies that just kinda do good.”

Channing on G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, out August 7: “This is, like, my first step out into the whole commercial realm. I hope it does okay.”

Channing on being proud of his presidential pick in Alabama, which is largely Republican: “I don’t care. If they don’t like me because I voted for Obama, then f— them. I like horses and I like Obama. Nothin’ wrong with hat.”

Channing on his Uncle Bruce’s 300-acre ranch in Wetumpka (33 miles northeast of Montgomery, Alabama): “[It's my] favorite place on the planet, by far. ‘Cause it’s real, you know?”

Rob Pattinson may have some competition coming his way in the hunk department!

According to a new report, Channing Tatum maybe joining the third installment of the franchise, Eclipse.

Eclipse screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is reportedly desperate to sign the former British model, and cast him as Riley, the nasty vampire.

She tells E!, "There's a very big battle at the end with Riley, and I think Channing would do that so well. And there are some complexities to that character. He really is tragic. He's a puppet for Victoria. So he has to break your heart a little bit at the end when he realizes she doesn't want him. Channing could do that beautifully."

They'd better try and sign Channing quick! He has four new films in pre-production, and is about to become a household name when G.I. Joe is released, in which he plays Duke, the lead role.
