From London Town to New York City, Hollywood’s finest have been keeping busy all over the world.

Gisele Bundchen was spotted hard at work on the set of a new H&M fashion campaign in the UK. The 32-year-old mother-of-two modeled a cream sweater, olive green pants and a conductor hat during the shoot.

Elsewhere in London, Channing Tatum and his pregnant wife Jenna Dewan were spotted on separate outings. Tatum, who’s been in town filming Jupiter Ascending, went for a jog with his dog while Dewan, due this summer, took a stroll in the sunshine on Hampstead Heath.

Stateside, Katy Perry looked lovely in a dark floral print dress while out in New York City. The night before, the “Firework” singer got all dressed up for a gathering celebrating Miuccia Prada’s designs for The Great Gatsby film. Perry’s fashion-filled week will continue on Monday, when she hits the red carpet for the annual Met Gala.

In other sightings, Hilary Duff brought a splash of pink during a visit to The Today Show, Khloe Kardashian sat courtside as her hubby Lamar Odom and the L.A. Clippers took on the Memphis Grizzlies during a playoff game and Lena Dunham filmed new scenes for her hit HBO show Girls.

Channing Tatum is turning one year older — and I’m definitely looking forward to another year of this Hollywood hunk sizzling up my silver screen.

There’s no denying that Tatum’s had quite the meteoric rise to superstardom in the recent year — or two — as he dabbled in comedies like 21 Jump Street and produced his first movie with legendary filmmaker Steven Soderbergh in Magic Mike.

Seeing how the actor, who’s also currently awaiting to welcome his first child with wife Jenna Dewan, is turning the big 3-3 this Friday, we’re taking a look back some of his sexiest movie roles.

Obviously, I mean whenever his shirt is off.

Can we all just take a second here to appreciate what this man has done for us? Thanks.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro wants to swap the small screen for the silver one.

And he’s got his sights set on more Magic Mike and less Jersey Shore.

Because the popular reality star has been bitten hard by the acting bug and he’s out to steal Channing Tatum‘s acting thunder.

“I take acting classes — I go to the same school as Channing Tatum used to go to,” Magro told Celebuzz. “And I was hanging out with Jamie Foxx recently for a movie promo.”

Magro is determined to hone his talent in class after he made a cameo appearance in The Three Stooges – and he’s learning the same skills that propelled Tatum to superstar hunk status.

And despite his party animal notoriety, his fellow students have been “filling him up with positive energy.”

Meanwhile, back in the real world, he tells CB! things are still going strong with his Shore co-star and girlfriend Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola.

The on-off couple has actually been living together in NYC for the past eight months — and getting used to the off-camera relationship.

But is Magro ready to take the leap like his co-stars Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and thinking about finally putting a ring on it? Is it yes, maybe or fuhgeddaboudit?!

To find out his answer and more about Magro’s acting aspirations and living with Sammi after the Jersey Shore cameras have stopped rolling, click on our exclusive video interview above.

Do you think Ronnie Ortiz-Magro could be the next Channing Tatum? Tell us if you think he can make it as an actor in the comments below.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum is baring it all — or, almost.

Nearly two months after her baby bump made its red-carpet debut, the actress has stripped down to showcase her burgeoning belly in the May issue of Glamour magazine, in which she opens up about her pregnant figure, husband Channing Tatum and how they’ll juggle parenthood with their careers.

“I thought my body was going to change so quickly with pregnancy that I’d freak out. But it was really gradual,” Dewan-Tatum explains in the fashion feature. “There’s a reason women are pregnant for nine months; by the end, you’re ready to have this baby.”

And while her waistline continues to expand as she inches closer to her due date, her hubby has proven a pillar to lean on.

“Channing has been great,” she continued. “He takes the route of no confrontation, just support, saying things like, ‘Do whatever you want! What do you want to eat? I’m going to leave it up to you.’”

Just like celebrity parents who came before them, Dewan-Tatum, 32, and Tatum, 32, will have to learn to balance their careers with raising their child. “I think, ‘How in the world am I going to do all this?’ I have no idea what I’m up against,” she said. “But I’m as mentally prepared as I can be. It’s an adventure!”

But no matter what, the couple won’t let their profession overshadow their personal lives. “Most actors and actresses are consumed by careers and getting ahead. Channing and I are ambitious, but our relationship comes first,” she explained. “We take everything day by day, saying, ‘OK, how can we make this work together?’”

Do you think the Tatums will make good parents? Sounds off in the comments.

Bruce Willis and company took top honors at the box office this weekend.

His latest action film, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, grossed $41.2 million over the Easter holiday, bringing its four-day total to $51.7 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie, which opened on Thursday, beat out last week’s box officer winner The Croods and Tyler Perry’s Temptation, which made $26.5 million and $22.3 million, respectively.

Gerard Butler’s Olympus Has Fallen and Oz the Great and Powerfulrounded out the top five.

According to THR, the G.I. Joe sequel, directed by Jon M. Chu, also enjoyed massive success outside of North America, grossing some $80.3 million. The film, also starring Dwayne Johnson and Friday Night Lights’ Adrianne Palicki, is on pace to make more than 2009’s G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra.

The other newcomer of the week, The Host, opened with a disappointing $11 million, despite distribution to some 3,200 theaters. (For comparison, Temptation played in 2,047 theaters, while G.I. Joe played in some 3,700).

What did you see at the movies this weekend?

The summer blockbuster season is still months away, but it looks like G.I. Joe: Retaliation gave moviegoers an early start this weekend.

The sequel to 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra grossed $15.5 million domestically, bringing its two-day total to $26 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film, starring Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum could also finish Easter weekend with $50 million.

Last week’s box office winner The Croods grossed another $10.7 million on Friday, while Tyler Perry’s Temptationmade $9.4 million in ticket sales.

The Host and Olympus Has Fallen round out the top three for Friday estimates.

The first G.I. Joe film grossed $54.7 million domestically in its opening weekend nearly four years ago. The movie went on to make $150 million ($302 million worldwide).

What will you be watching at the movies this Easter weekend?

Why do the stars need to stay in the absolute best shape? Because it’s their business.

In this episode of The Celeb Life, we focus on what celerities do to get super-fit for an upcoming role. From strict diet changes that would make most folks shiver in fear, to workout routines that would make a military drill instructor proud, these are the tough ways that keep Hollywood looking great.

Channing Tatum, for one, had to make some strict diet changes to go along with his workout regimen when it came time to get ready for Magic Mike. With a sequel just around the corner, you’d imagine he’s doing even more to achieve a striptease-worthy bod.

Kate Hudson stunned Glee fans with her killer abs when she appeared as a guest star on the musical TV hit. But her amazing tummy was no accident – it was the result of some seriously hard work in the gym that included heavy carido and pilates three times a week.

Some stars don’t need a big upcoming part to get motivated for fitness. When Kim Kardashian announced she was pregnant, she immediately turned to her personal trainer who helped develop specialized workout and diet plans for each individual month of her pregnancy.

All of which reminded us: there have been a lot of heroic knights who made their armor shine particularly bright.

As such, Celebuzzassembled a gallery of the hottest armor-clad hunks in recent movie history. Starting with Hoult and McGregor and jumping back through the last 20 years or so of cinema, we’ve compiled a “hot list” of leading men who make “getting medieval on that ass” seem like particularly fun way to spend an evening.

For the record, this list is by no means exhaustive – we elected not to include the timeless sexiness of Sean Connery, for example, since most of his work with a sword and shield took place during his septuagenarian years rather than back in the Bond days.

But we included Leonardo DiCaprio (Romeo + Juliet), Heath Ledger (A Knight’s Tale) and hunk du jour Channing Tatum (The Eagle) among many others, ensuring that readers find at least one fellow whose steel-clad silhouette is irresistible to them.

What do you think of our list? And who did we forget? Leave your suggestions and objections in the comments section below!

Seth MacFarlane may have given the Oscars a ratings boost this year, but the funnyman won’t be back for the 2014 edition.

In response to a fan’s question about whether or not he’d host again, the 39-year-old wrote, “No way. Lotta fun to have done it, though” on Twitter late Monday night.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Sunday’s telecast was viewed by more than 40 million viewers, an increase from last year’s Billy Crystal show and James Franco and Anne Hathaway’s Oscars disaster the year before.

In their place: MacFarlane and his tune about boobs, plus daring (and uncomfortable) jabs like the one about 9-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis being almost the right age for George Clooney.

Celebuzz has some suggestions for who should make fun of next year’s nominees.

Jamie Foxx & Channing Tatum Heat Things Up

On last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the two stars performed a musical number titled “Channing All Over Your Tatum.” Head to College Candy to watch the must-see performance.

It was date night at the Oscars on Sunday.

Amid the gorgeous gowns and dapper tuxes, love was on Hollywood’s side on the red carpet at the 2013 Academy Awards on Sunday evening.

It was a party of three for Channing Tatum, who worked the carpet with wife Jenna and their soon-to-be bundle of joy.

“She’s willing it to be a girl,” Tatum told Entertainment Tonight about their unborn baby.

As for the big-named nominees, the evening wouldn’t be complete without their true love on their arm. Argo’s Ben Affleck couldn’t take his eyes off wife Jennifer Garner as they headed inside the Dolby Theatre to celebrate the final leg of the awards season. Vying for the Best Actress statue tonight, Naomi Watts brought her ultimate good-luck charm: longtime beau Liev Schreiber.

When it comes to unconditional love, Bradley Cooper easily earns the title of “most dedicated son” as he proudly accompanied his mother Gloria.

“She’s really holding it together. She’s doing well!” Cooper said about his mother.

Meanwhile, George Clooney and Stacy Keibler shot down speculations of a breakup as they celebrated the evening in style.

And in rare appearance together, Jennifer Aniston looked red-hot as she arrived in a Valentino gown, topped off with her hot accessory: fiance Justin Theroux.

Which couple brought the love at the Oscars tonight? What do you think of the show so far? Sound off in the comments, below.

Sherri Shepherd didn’t take long to scope out the red carpet at Sunday’s Oscars.

“Channing Tatum . . . girl I almost lost my . . . do you see my doggone underwear? I think they fell off my body,” she told Celebuzz before the big show. “Oh my god, if you see a pair of Spanx just laying around, they’re mine.”

Crushes aside, the 45-year-old, along with Cameron Mathison, will co-host the Backstage Pass portion of the Oscars this year.

While Shepherd dished on her red carpet-ready dress — a lace number by Tadashi Soji — the TV personality and comedian quickly turned the conversation back to the Magic Mike hunk.

“I love my dress, I do. But can I say Channing Tatum is so fine,” she said.

Tatum’s wife, Jenna Dewan, has nothing to be worried about though, thanks to her pregnancy.

“That will stop it anytime, a pregnant wife,” Shepherd joked. “I ain’t Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes. I’m not down in that drama.”

For more of our chat with Sherri Shepherd at the Oscars, check out the video, above.

That’s a wrap, folks.

The 85th Academy Awards had plenty of highlights that delighted an audience of over one billion viewers worldwide, but it wasn’t short on missteps either.

Between Hollywood A-listers ballroom dancing and a rare performance by the sensational Barbara Streisand, Oscar definitely did not disappoint.

This year’s host Seth MacFarlane wasn’t short of insulting quips and jabs at celebrities like Mel Gibson, Chris Brown and Rihanna, the latter of whom he likened to Django Unchained, saying: ”This is the story of a man fighting to get back his woman, who’s been subjected to unthinkable violence. Or as Chris Brown and Rihanna call it, a date movie.”

Whether he was pushing buttons or just trying to push the envelope, he hit flat notes throughout the three-and-a-half hour award ceremony.

Here our picks for the best and worst moments:

Best #1: Channing Tatum and Charlize Theron ballroom dance during the opening monologue. The actors channeled Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers during MacFarlane’s rendition of “The Way You Look Tonight”… and boy did they look good together.

Worst #1: MacFarlane joked that 9-year-old nominee Quvenzhané Wallis was almost the right age for George Clooney saying, “To give you an idea of how young she is, it’ll be 16 years until she’s too old for Clooney.”

Best #2: Jennifer Hudson takes our breath away. J-Hud sang her heart out to “And I’m Telling You” and earned a standing ovation for her powerful musical tribute.

Worst #2: MacFarlane flopped again when he sang and danced to a skit called “We Saw Your Boobs,” mocking actresses for flaunting their assets during their film careers. True, definitely – tasteful and entertaining, definitely not.

Best #3: Streisand makes a rare appearance. The 70-year-old sang her hit “The Way We Were” during the In Memoriam segment and brought tears to the eyes of many of Tinseltown’s finest.

Worst #3: No one is a fan of long-winded acceptance speeches, but when Bill Westenhofer won for the special effects of Life of Pi, the theme song of Jaws played to force him offstage. The music progressively louder, so much so that even Nicole Kidman made a displeased face.

Best #4: In a word: Adele. The singer came out to perform the hit Bond theme song “Skyfall” and brought her A-game to the award show.

Worst #4: While we loved watching J-Hud belt her heart out, the rest of the musical-themed skit was a bit of a snoozefest – especially the ten-year-old Chicago number.

Best #5: Ted goes to the Oscars! Our favorite cynical furry friend made a special appearance and graced the stage in a perfectly-tailored tux with buddy Mark Wahlberg. The bear wasn’t actually standing next to the actor, but superimposed with a little TV magic.

Worst #5: Simply put, the show was way too long. With a running time of over three hours, the ceremony could’ve been condensed into way shorter a show.

Seth MacFarlane Kristin Chenoweth Loosers song… by dm_512af5eb6ea50

Best #6: FLOTUS made a special appearance!

Michelle Obama presented the award for Best Picture direct from the White House. Details about how the First Lady’s cameo were released after the ceremony, with her office confirming the Academy approached Obama about being a part of the ceremony.

“As a movie lover, she was honored to present the award and celebrate the artists who inspire us all – especially our young people – with their passion, skill and imagination,” a statement said.

Best #7: An award show tie. For the sixth time in Oscar history, two winners took home the Academy Award in an unprecedented tie victory. Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall both won for Best Sound Editing at this year’s ceremony.

Best #8: The underdog won in the end! Argo took home the final award of the evening for Best Picture and an emotional Ben Affleck thanked his wife Jennifer Garner during his speech, saying: “I don’t normally associate my wife with Iran” and added, “what I learned was it doesn’t matter if you get knocked down in life, what matters is that you’ve got to get back up.”

What were your favorite and least favorite moments of the night? Weigh in below.

It’s tiny Tatum’s first Oscars.

Magic Mike star Channing Tatum and wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum graced the red carpet at this year’s Academy Awards, with the 32-year-old future mom stunning in a black lace Rachel Roy gown that perfectly hugged her baby bump.

And her new mommy glow didn’t go unnoticed by her hubby, as he told Ryan Seacrest this is his ”greatest production yet.”

So is the happy couple revealing to the world whether it’s a boy or a girl on Hollywood’s biggest night?

Not exactly, but the mom-to-be is crossing her fingers for a mini-me.

“She’s willing it to be a girl,” Tatum told Entertainment Tonight’s Nancy O’Dell, with Dewan-Tatum admitting that she refers to the baby as “she.”

Tatum, who’s wife announced she was pregnant in December, also told  E! News that she will actually be giving birth Across the Pond while Tatum is filming his next movie.

“We’re actually going to have the baby in London while I’m shooting and then there will be no downtime whatsoever after that.”

Dewan-Tatum, who dubbed her baby “a very posh child” for attending the red carpet affair, wasn’t going to let being pregnant get in the way of making a fashion statement.

“I have a few more months so I’m walking the carpet trying to keep it together tonight.”

It’s that time of year again, movie buffs! Yep, that’s right. Another Valentine’s Day, another overtly romantic movie with a poster of the two beautiful lead actors in an embrace.

This year’s selection is an adaptation of a novel from the man who seems to have nothing but romantic bones in his body, Nicholas Sparks. Seriously, Sparks is like the romantic gift that keeps on giving.

The latest novel-turned-sappy-movie is Safe Haven, starring Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough. The pair of leads easily fit into the roster of Sparks-leads alumni including Amanda Seyfried, Mandy Moore, Channing Tatum, Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron, to name a few, but does the newest edition to the Nicholas Sparks movie collection have as much (pun intended) heart as the movies that came before it?

Critics weighed in, and according to them, the film is generally lackluster. But, in the end, it all depends on what the audience thinks. Meaning, don’t let the critics discourage you too much! Having said that, here’s a look at exactly what they had to say about the film:

Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter

“A thriller element that has not been present in earlier Sparks movies is designed to draw reluctant male viewers to see the picture, but they won’t respond with the same enthusiasm as his core audience of woozy romantics…”

Mary Pols, TIME

“What’s the point then, if she’s not a girl we’re desperately worried about? This could be a problem with Hough’s performance—she’s all sunshine but no heat—but in general, Sparks seems to taking it easier on his audiences these days. He’s making his escapism more escapist…”

Leah Rozen, Yahoo Movies

“There’s nada in “Safe Haven” that will surprise anyone who has ever watched a few Lifetime movies, which it strongly resembles, both in the tedious level of its acting and its dialogue…”

Betsey Sharkey, LA Times

“Starring Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel, this sloppy sentimental journey is long on beauty shots, short on depth and seriously intent on tugging your heartstrings. Indeed, it demands you reach for those tissues…”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“…Hough, an inexhaustibly perky actress, manages to keep smiling. Worse then that, Katie hides out in an impossibly picturesque fishing village in North Carolina, where she right away meets Alex (Josh Duhamel), a widower with two kids and a gym-toned body no one else in town possesses…”

Harsh, huh? Again, just take the reviews with a grain of salt. That said, did you see the latest romantic mush-fest that is Safe Haven? If so, do you agree with the critics? We at Celebuzz want to know (so we can decide whether or not to see it, too).

Since Kevin Costner and Robin Wright Penn brought Message in a Bottle to the screen in 2000, author Nicholas Sparks has entertained audiences with his deeply romantic and often tragic tales of love found, lost and regained.

Thirteen years later, Sparks revisits his winning formula again with Safe Haven, the story of a troubled young woman who finds love while on the run from her mysterious past.

But even after successfully creating some of the last decade’s most iconic romances, including The Notebook, the writer says that he’s sure of only one thing when it comes to creating these indelible stories.

“Everybody falls in love,” Sparks tells Celebuzz. “How do you make that original and fresh to somebody? How do you do that new? It’s been done so many times before.”

Sparks admits that he still struggles to find the right way to combine new circumstances and timeless ideas when crafting his latest tome.

“I don’t know still that I’m perfectly comfortable doing it,” he says. “Whenever you’re trying to evoke genuine emotion, it is a tough thing to do, especially when you’re trying to evoke a variety of them.”

Although his work certainly deserves credit for connecting these films with their audiences, Sparks insists that it’s the people on screen who truly make them memorable and effective.

“The elements that have made these films work are the chemistry,” Sparks says. “I’ve had actors with great chemistry. Ryan [Gosling], Rachel [McAdams], Channing Tatum – I’ve had great casts, great directors.”

Safe Haven opens in theaters nationwide Feb. 14. Watch our exclusive interview with Sparks, and let us know in the comments — what do you love most about the writer’s love stories? And which is your favorite?
