Celebuzz &#187; Matthew McConaughey

The 42-year-old actor was a total pro and didn’t even break character. “I stayed in sequence. I went for the tuck. I went for the roll. And I finished the dance,” he said.

The film is loosely based on Tatum’s life and focuses on an experienced stripper, who takes a younger performer called The Kid under his wing and schools him in the arts of partying, picking up women, and making easy money. The film is out June 29.

With Channing Tatum‘s Magic Mike coming out next month, which is about a talented dancing lad, or shall we say stripper, who takes a young guy under his wing to show him the ropes, we at Celebuzz came up with our own spicy playlist of what we considered the sexiest stripping songs.

Now if only Channing would come teach us some moves to go along with these songs:

Set to premiere June 29th, the comedy brings us hottie Channing Tatum, I Am Number 4 star Alex Pettyfer and Matthew Mcconaughey showing us their sexy moves on stage. We can’t help but wonder what songs these three studs will be shakin’ their thangs to, but we can use our imaginations!

These tunes are sure to inspire some hip thrusting and bring back memories of good times past, so let’s start off the list good ol’ 80′s:

“Cherry Pie” by the band Warrant

‘Magic Mike’ Co-Stars Matthew McConaughey & Channing Tatum Hit Up Male Strip Club

Rachel Maresca — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:05:49 +0000

Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum team up to watch men strip down!

The Magic Mike co-stars, who play male strippers in their newest flick, did a little homework by checking out a male strip club themselves for some real-life research!

Matthew, 42, spilled their secret to reporters at the premiere of his other new film, Bernie.

“[We] met early on and went by one male review strip club in New Orleans, I was there for about an hour. That was enough,” Matthew said.

This surely must have brought back some fond memories for Channing, 31, who was a former male dancer before becoming an actor. The film is said to be loosely based on his experiences as a stripper.

Magic Mike hits theaters June 29 and check out the below video to hear Channing dish about his clothes-ditching past.

Men of ‘Magic Mike’ Show Off Strip Tease Skills In New Teaser (VIDEO)

Jackie Willis — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:45:41 +0000

After teasing us with photos, we’re finally getting a glimpse of the men of Magic Mike‘s dancing and stripping skills.

Entertainment Tonight teased the teaser that shows a shirtless (!!!) Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey, and then there’s Channing’s expertise on the pole.

However, the video is missing a few key on-screen male strippers.

The teaser does not include White Collar Matthew Bomer, True Blood hottie Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer or Adam Rodriguez. This just gives us something to look forward to in the trailer.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven), the film is loosely based on Channing’s real life, and follows a young male stripper on the upstart of stripping. He’s taken under the wing of more experienced colleagues.

The film hits theaters June 29. Will you be watching this sexy film, or does it look a little cheesy? Sound off in the comments, below.

Musical Muses! Celebs Who’ve Starred In Music Videos (PHOTOS)

Taylor Williams — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:00:58 +0000

Just because you hold the title of an actor or actress doesn’t mean you have to just star in televison and movies!

Some of Hollywood’s A-List celebrities have starred in some of the biggest music videos. Seeing as this is a musical weekend with the Grammy Awards airing on Sunday, we thought it best to give you a guide of Celebuzz’s favorite music video cameos!

Which of these vids is your fave? Let us know in the comments!

Matthew McConaughey is the latest to star in a music video, reprising his Dazed and Confused role for Butch Walker and the Black Widow‘s song “Synthesizers.”

This past year Katy Perry had a slew of stars in her video for “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)”, including Glee‘s Daren Criss and Kevin McHale, Rebecca Black, and even Hanson. It was a mini movie that told a story in the course of eight minutes. Katy is just one artist who has used familar faces in her movie-like music video.

Lady Gaga is also another star who has taken the approach more than once. For her “You and I” music video, she had her new boyfriend Taylor Kinney as her muse.

Jamie Foxx’s hit song “Blame It” featured a few famous men. Samuel L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker and Ron Howard all made a guest appearances in the video.

Some stars have made more than one music video debut. Angelina Jolie was in Meatloaf‘s “Rock and Roll Dreams” in 1993 as well as the 1997 Rolling Stones video for “Anybody Seen My Baby.” Another star who’s appeared in more than one video is Jake Gyllenhaal, who makes a cameo in “Blame It,” and in Vampire Weekend’s “Giving Up The Gun.”

Matthew McConaughey: Prepped to Bare All on ‘Magic Mike’ Set? (PHOTOS)

Wes Ferguson — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:42:21 +0000

This is more like it!

A few days ago, Matthew McConaughey was snapped wearing far too many clothes for a movie about male strippers — but today he looks prepared to take it all off!

The actor stepped out on the set of Magic Mike, apparently wearing nothing but a smile — and a plush blue robe. The movie is loosely based on Channing Tatum‘s days as a male stripper, with rumors that audiences will get the full monty.

Matthew’s costar Joe Manganiello was said to be appearing in a full-frontal scene, but reps later denied the reports.

In the Steven Soderbergh directed flick, (scheduled for a 2012 release), Alex Pettyfer will play a character who gets mixed up in the world of male stripping and hustling to get by. McConaughey will play a former stripper who now owns the club where this slew of sexy men take it all off.

From what we’ve seen so far,there will be no shortage of celebrity skin!

Matthew McConaughey in a shirt? Now that’s a sight you don’t see everyday!

Defying the rules of nature, the hunky actor hid his signature abs under a tie-dye shirt as he stepped out on set earlier today. McConaughey is currently filming Magic Mike, a film loosely based on actor Channing Tatum‘s early years as a male stripper. The film is also set to star super studs Alex Pettyfer, Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer, and of course, Tatum himself.

Will this be the most abs-tastic film of all time? We definitely think so!

Beefcake Alert! Does ‘Magic Mike’ Have the Hottest Cast of All Time? (POLL)

Amanda Hasaka — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 19:39:42 +0000

When we heard that they were making a movie based on Channing Tatum‘s stripping past starring Alex Pettyfer, we were intrigued. But now that Matt Bomer, Matthew McConaughey and Joe Manganiello have all (pretty much) joined the cast, we’re ready to get in line for our tickets!

In the Steven Soderbergh directed flick, (scheduled for a 2012 release), Alex will play a character who gets mixed up in the world of male stripping and hustling to get by. McConaughey will play a former stripper who now owns the club where this slew of sexy men take it all off.

Obviously, there is an abundance of studly gentlemen who will star in this film, but can you think of a cast better than this?

The first film that came to mind for us was The Outsiders, a dramatic 80s film that features vintage hotties such as Rob Lowe and Ralph Macchio.

And let us not forget about the holy grail of hot men on film — Ocean’s Eleven. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon?! We’re still swooning 10 years later.

We’re feeling a little torn though. The Outsiders has the whole “hot brat pack” 80s thing going on, while Ocean’s Eleven is all about the silver foxes/oldies but goodies. However, we have a feeling Magic Mike could trump those considering these men will spend a majority of their time on screen wearing next to nothing (at least, we hope!)

So what do YOU guys think? Do you think that Magic Mike will set a new standard of hot men on film? (We personally would love to see a little Zac Efron in the mix). Or will you stick with the classics? Cast your vote in the poll!

Back in April, Channing opened up about the role, telling Deadline:

“This was a wild and pivotal time in my life and I couldn’t be more thrilled to go down the rabbit hole with Steven.”

Soderbergh added that, “When Channing talked to me about this, I thought it was one of the best ideas I’d ever heard for a movie,” the Oscar-winning director said. “I said I wanted in immediately. It’s sexy, funny and shocking. We’re using Saturday Night Fever as our model, so hopefully we’re on the right track.”
