Today's Pictures of the Week are some of the many photos taken of Channing Tatum and his beautiful new fiancée Jenna Dewan as they celebrate their recent engagement on vacation on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Enjoy!!!

It's more than clear in the photos that the two lovebirds are having an incredible time in paradise, and Jenna told me that they are both "over the moon" right now. They are by far one of the most loving couples I know, and I truly could not be more happy for them. I also know that they are very grateful for all of the well wishes fans have been sending them.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Project Update: 'Dear John', 'Shine On', 'Virgin on Bourbon Street', and More...

Thankfully, our newly engaged couple Chenna is getting to spend some quality time together on their very eventful vacation in Hawaii, because both Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have a very busy schedule coming up this fall and for the foreseeable future.

In the past week or so, we've had a lot of news to come out for both of their upcoming films. In this post, we FINALLY get to learn who will play opposite Channing in his highly-anticipated romantic drama 'Dear John' and when and where it will be filmed.

We also get some new details on Jenna's romantic comedy 'Virgin on Bourbon Street' and a new trailer for her New York-based indie film 'Shine On'. Enjoy!!!

Dear John

Channing's upcoming romantic drama 'Dear John', where he plays a soldier who falls in love with a conservative college girl who he plans to marry, is based on a book written by author Nicholas Sparks and will most definitely be a tear-jerker. This we know without a doubt.

We also know that Lasse Hallstrom is directing, Jamie Linden has written the script, Sarah Knowles is heading up the production design and that Ryan Kavanaugh, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey will be producing the New Line Studios film. What we have been dying to learn is who is going to play Chan's love interest, Savannah. Drum roll please...

The rumors I had been hearing were in fact true, because it's 'Mamma Mia!'s Amanda Seyfried!!! I have not seen 'Mamma Mia!' yet, but Jenna and many other people I've spoken to about it say it's a must see. I'll have to check it out this weekend to see Amanda in action.

From the official announcement in today's Variety and the South Carolina Film Commission website we learn that filming will start October 13th in Charleston, South Carolina and they will most likely be filming through December 2008.

'Dear John' is set to hit theaters some time in 2009, and as I've said time and time again, I honestly can not wait for this one!

Virgin on Bourbon Street

It's been really hard to find any information on Jenna Dewan's upcoming movie 'Virgin on Bourbon Street', which is said to be a hilarious, sexy romantic comedy in the vein of '40 Year Old Virgin' meets 'Superbad', but I finally found a short synopsis that gives us a little incite on the movie that also stars comedian Rob Schneider.

The movie is about Priscilla White (played by Jenna Dewan) who is a pure and pretty virgin who goes to college on a scholarship from 'Can't Hurry Love', a sexual abstinence before marriage group. Her college roommate Naz is a flashy, filthy, sexually active party girl. Rob Schneider plays Crazy Ed, the sleazy, slimy Chicks Go Crazy producer.

The romantic comedy is set for a 2009 release, and based on what the Michigan Film Office is saying, will be filming in their state this fall.

Shine On

Jenna Dewan's new indie drama 'Shine On' is the powerful story of Jay (Andrew Cisneros), a young Latino struggling to find his identity in The Bronx in a house crowded with family members and a neighborhood filled with loyal friends and dangerous enemies. A gifted musician, Jay hopes to leave it all and pursue his dream of composing and performing music. Once he meets Alessandra (Jenna Dewan), a beautiful young woman who lives in Manhattan, his determination to defy the expectations of his frustrated, angry father become even stronger.

Yet Jay is tied to his home through loyalty to his friends and to his brother, who has returned unexpectedly from service in the Marines. As he reaches toward a wider world, he is pulled back over and over by the cycles of anger and violence that have defined his life and neighborhood for so long. It takes love, a change of heart and a new understanding of life's elusive chance at happiness to finally help Jay make the long, uncertain leap to a fresh chance.

Although the production company has not announced an official release date yet, the film just released a trailer for 'Shine On' and fans can check it out below:

What's Next for Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan?

Channing's film 'Battle in Seattle' will have its theatrical release in various cities in the US starting on September 19, 2008.

If reports are correct, Jenna Dewan will be in Michigan filming her romantic comedy 'Virgin on Bourbon Street' in Michigan while Channing films his romantic drama 'Dear John in South Carolina this fall.

Chan's drama 'Fighting' is supposed to be released in January 2009 and his movie 'Parkour' will start filming early next year. Not to be outdone, Jenna's supernatural, action film 'Magdalena' continues to develop a script so filming can start some time in 2009.

It's OFFICIAL...Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Are ENGAGED!!!

There's been speculation forever that the longtime couple was already engaged, and it's a question I get asked constantly.

Being the private people they are, none of us are sure who leaked it to the press, but it was unofficially announced earlier today that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan got engaged this weekend.

Now that I have gotten permission from the happy couple, I can officially announce that the report was correct in part and that Chan and Jenna (aka our favorite couple Chenna) did in fact get engaged this weekend in Hawaii.

I could not be more happy for the extremely sweet and down-to-earth couple who are definitely made for each other and have been dating since 'Step Up' wrapped in 2005.

Congrats, Chan and Jenna!!! I wish you all of the happiness in the world, because you truly deserve it!!!

Learn More About Jenna Dewan's 'Magdalena' from MTV's Splash Page

In a recent CTU post we got to learn a lot about Jenna Dewan's new movie 'Magdalena', because MTV's Spash Page is having a week long series on the upcoming comic book-based film.

It's a huge role for Jenna that she's extremely excited about. In the previous post, we got a background on Jenna's heroic character and the film in general, and we learned about her sexy superhero costume.

As promised, in this post you can find the rest of the articles from MTV's Spash Page where we learn more about the cross-over and sequel potential for the film. It's exciting, because it looks like Chan isn't the only one with a possible trilogy in his future!

Fans can read the last two articles in the series and watch Jenna's video interviews below:

‘Magdalena’ Week: No Witchblade Or Other Comic Crossovers In First Movie, Says Jenna Dewan

Published by Shawn Adler on Thursday, September 4, 2008

Thanks to summer flicks like “Iron Man” and “The Incredible Hulk,” comic cross-promotion is all the rage, and it’s not just Marvel Studios who are falling over themselves to take it to the max. But one place you won’t see any comic cameos is in “Magdalena,” the upcoming adaptation starring Jenna Dewan, the actress told MTV News.

You can also CLICK HERE to watch the video.

“I think that maybe that in this first one it’s gonna be based on Patience and her arc and her story,” Dewan said. “I think if we do a second and a third that’ll definitely be an option. I’ve heard it’s possible.”

Created by Top Cow Comics, Magdalena first appeared in their series “The Darkness.” The company also owns the rights to characters such as “Witchblade,” “Tomb Raider,” “The Angelus,” among others others.

Given all that, it would seem natural to have at least some of those other characters cross-over, especially considering a) “Magdalena” producer Gale Anee Hurd also produced “The Incredible Hulk” and b) there’s a “Witchblade” movie slated for 2009.

But no, says Dewan. In fact, at best, all we might get is a mention.

“You know how when you go see a comic book movie and all the fans will know certain things when we mention somebody. When you say Sara from the ‘Witchblade’, or maybe I say ‘I fought the Darkness one night.’ Something that the fans will know,” Dewan said. “I’m not sure about appearances [though].”

As ‘Magdalena’ Week Concludes, Jenna Dewan Hints At Possible Sequel, Franchise

Published by Shawn Adler on Friday, September 5, 2008

On Tuesday, we brought you news regarding the basic plot of “Magdalena,” the new comic adaptation starring Jenna Dewan as the titular heroine. On Wednesday, we told you not get your hopes up about an ultra-revealing costume. Yesterday, we explored whether or not the film would have comic cross-overs.

If we spend this much time talking about the first movie, just imagine what we’ll do when it comes time to talk about its sequel.

You can also CLICK HERE to watch the video.

“They’re going to do more,” Dewan told MTV News of already formulating plans to turn “Magdalena” into a trilogy of films. “We’re working on that now. They intend to do at least a couple of these.”

Interestingly, perhaps, given the certainty with which Dewan talks about possible sequels, no narrative through line has yet been discussed, she indicated, meaning “Magdalena” will almost certainly come to theaters as a stand-alone story without a “Dark Knight” style ambiguous ending.

“Hopefully it’ll end on a note that’s exciting enough – I always like when I see sequels [where] when they introduce characters that cause inner conflict,” Dewan said. “[But] right now I’m so focused on making the first movie great.”

I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more about this film as they progress through the production process. Stay tuned to Channing Tatum Unwrapped for the latest news on Jenna Dewan's new film 'Magdalena'.

CTU NEWS: And the Winner of the Autographed Magazine Is...

I want to thank all of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan's Fabulous Fans that entered our most recent contest and have added Rock4Change as a friend on MySpace.

The lucky winner is...

Melanie from UCLA
(via Edgewater, New Jersey)

Melanie has won a rare, autographed April 2006 issue of Interview Magazine which features an article on Channing Tatum where he was interviewed by his 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints' co-star Shia LaBeouf. As the winner, she has also nabbed a prime Top Friends spot on Channing Tatum's official and only Myspace profile.

Didn't win this particular contest? No worries. Stay tuned to CTU, because we will continue to have lots more contests on CTU each month.

Although I'm happy to let Melanie know that she is our latest lucky winner here at CTU, I was sad when I learned earlier this week that Rock4Change.org was forced to postpone the Fall 2008 benefit concert, because ticket sales did not reach the goals that they had originally set. The concert will now occur at the Gibson Amphitheatre on a new date between the end of October and early November.

Sadly, ticket sales to date would not have enabled them to reach their important goal of fully funding the Reforestation Project in Darfur (through Aid Still Required) and the Clean Springs Campaign in Uganda (through Hands Across Nations) so our collective efforts can help save millions of lives.

They want to affect positive change on a grand scale and are beyond committed and determined to reach their goal. They know that with more press and promotion the concert will be even bigger and better, and they already have some exciting offers from potential TV partners who want to broadcast the Rock4Change.org Benefit Concert to millions of people around the world, enabling them to raise even more money and awareness for the two chosen charities.

I've had a lot of people ask, so if you are not able to attend the concert, but would like to donate to Rock4Change, you can CLICK HERE and then click on the "PAYPAL DONATE" button on the left side of the page to do so.

Channing, Jenna, and I are very committed to this cause and are planning on attending the concert a month or so from now, so I hope to see some of you there and thanks again for adding Rock4Change as a top friend on MySpace! Keep up the good work and thanks for your support!!!

In case you haven't seen them, feel free to check out the various PSA's that have been created for the event...

Jenna Dewan's New 'Magdalena' Interviews from MTV's Splash Page

One of the things that Channing Tatum's longtime girlfriend Jenna Dewan and I talked about when I saw her last was how excited she is about her newly announced role of comic book heroin Magdalena.

It's a dream project for the humble actress who fell in love with the idea of the film quickly and is very hopeful that fans will respond to it well.

To get fans familiar with 'Magdalena' way ahead of time, the film's production team is doing a lot of pre-promotion, even before the script is done. I was excited to see that MTV's Spash Page now has a week long series on Jenna's new film.

Fans can read the first two articles and watch the video interviews below:

‘Magdalena’ Week Begins: Actress Jenna Dewan Finds Religion With Supernatural Hero

Published by Shawn Adler on Tuesday, September 2, 2008

This week is “Magdalena Week” here at Splash Page. Each day we’ll be giving you an exclusive look at “Magdalena,” the upcoming big-budget adaptation of the Top Cow comic book starring Jenna Dewan and Luke Goss. Today, learn about the character and where the film will diverge from its source material.

Before Wonder Woman, or Red Sonja, before She-Ra or She-Hulk, one female comic book super hero is going to make it to the big-screen to kick butt and take names, to thwart evil and kill the wicked.

And she’s gonna do it all in Jesus’s name (Amen).

You can also CLICK HERE to watch the video.

Well, sort of, laughed recently cast Jenna Dewan, the actress set to fill the giant shoes — and monster lineage — of Patience, the holy warrior protagonist of the upcoming comic flick “Magdalena.”

Wait, who?

Wielder of the mighty Spear of Destiny, the Magdalena refers to any of a number of distant descendents of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene who fight on behalf of the church. Thanks to her bloodline, she possesses preternatural fighting abilities and (quite literally) sacred blood – think “The Da Vinci Code” crossed with “X-Men.”

In the comics, several Magdalenas throughout history are given stories. Conversations between Dewan and producer Gale Anne Hurd, however, have made it clear to the actress that the movie will more or less follow the comic origin of one Magdalena, Patience, the last in the long line of warriors and the current champion of the world.

“They’re going to follow that comic pretty closely,” Dewan said of the planned plotline.

In the comic story, Patience grows up in a nunnery before becoming a homeless runaway on the streets of NYC. When presented with her destiny, she’s initially hesitant, circumspect, rebellious. “She has this streak in her, a free spirit,” Dewan explained. All of which makes her the perfect fit for the film version of Magdalena, the 27-year-old former “Step-Up” star said.

“What’s interesting in the comic is that Patience is the only one that they mention who questions. She doesn’t just instantly go into ‘Oh, the Catholic Church is right and I know what I’m doing.’ She says I’m very strong in what I believe in, I believe people are doing bad things,” Dewan told MTV News. “I want to fight that because I feel like inside of me that’s what I want to do. But she doesn’t attach herself to any symbols or labels or anything like that.”

Avoiding labels is actually a big challenge for the filmmakers, Dewan confessed, given the heavily sacrilegious nature of the character. Solution? While the recently announced movie version of the heroine will certainly honor her heritage, it won’t necessarily focus as much on the religious aspects of the character, Dewan insisted.

“When I started this I said I didn’t want it to be a religious movie - the Catholic Church versus everyone else. I wanted it to be somebody who knows she has something inside bigger [than herself], this spiritual want to help people,” Dewan said. “That’s really what we’re focusing on - fighting the darkness for the light, rather than the Catholic Church and religion. There is that element of it but it’s more about fighting people who are evil in this world.”

‘Magdalena’ Week Continues: Jenna Dewan Takes Us Inside Her Sexy — But Not Skimpy — Superhero Costume

Published by Shawn Adler on Wednesday, September 3, 2008

Yesterday, Jenna Dewan gave us the scoop on her upcoming comic book adaptation of “Magdalena,” the story of the butt-kicking last scion of Jesus, put on Earth to fight crime and preserve the innocent.

Maybe you hadn’t heard of “Magdalena” before this. Maybe that caused you to look her up elsewhere. Maybe that caused you to find this. It’s a costume that’ll send a million mouths a’drooling. So is the trashy, vampy, very revealing costume going to make its way to the film? Settle down, boys. The answer, unfortunately, is no.

You can also CLICK HERE to watch the video.

“I think the goal of this movie – we don’t want to do ‘Catwoman.’ I don’t think I’ll be walking the street in a thong and leather chaps,” Dewan said, laughing. “That’s not gonna happen.”

It’s as if millions of fans cried out in horror, and were suddenly silenced.

But all is not lost, Dewan said. While she won’t be wearing a thong and leather chaps, the costume WILL still be quite sexy, she insisted, telling MTV News that the ultimate version will be some kind of compromise.

“We’ll be making a sort of blend. We want it to be more based in reality, more ‘Matrix’-y. Not necessarily superhero,” Dewan said. “[But] I probably will have a flavor of the comic counterpart. In my personal opinion I like movies that touch on that.”

---

Congrats again to Jenna on this awesome new role! This world can definitely use another heroine, and I can't wait to see her kicking butt and taking names. Stay tuned to Channing Tatum Unwrapped, and I'll make sure to post the rest of the MTV Splash Page interviews later this week.

CHANNING TATUM FAN ENCOUNTER: Chan and His Fan's on Vacation in Mexico

Recently, I posted a great Picture of the Week showing Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan on vacation at the LG Villa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Fans asked if I had any other photos from the trip and I had to tell them no, until now that is...

Thanks to Fabulous Channing Tatum Fans Brigette and Abby (who as luck may have it were vacationing at the same time as Chan), we have more pics.

The two fans definitely got a little more then they planned on their Cabo San Lucas Vacation two weeks ago. They not only came back with some nice tans, they also brought back some great pictures of Channing Tatum as he graciously took photos with them upon their arrival to the vacation spot.

Here's what Brigette had to say about their unplanned encounter with Chan:

On Aug 16, 2008 some friends and I arrived in San Jose del Cabo and we had a few hours to kill before we could check into our hotel so we decided to walk down to the beach and then head to the Mega Mart (like Wal Mart) to get supplies for our stay. When we walked in my friend Abby said that she just saw Channing and I didn't believe her, of course she made me go with her to where he was and sure enough it was him. We asked him if we could take a couple of pics with him and of course he said yes and began to pose while his driver took our photos. Of course we cut up and had fun, and afterwards Abby claimed that we could go home now that that was the highlight of her vacation. It was a very positive encounter and Channing is a kind soul.

Favorite Channing Tatum Picture and Why?:

Okay I know it’s not exactly a photo but it originally it was. For some reason I usually end up liking Brad’s drawings more than the original pictures …no there is a reason, because they are so awesome lol. This is my favorite picture of Chan, because for one, he has his goatee, and I always think facial hair makes him look even more gorgeous. Secondly, it shows his gorgeous smile and his tongue that always seems to be poking through lol. A large reason why I like this picture though is the glasses. They’re the first thing that my eyes are drawn to, probably because his eyes are underneath them…yes Channing’s eyes always seem to draw mine to his. Then there is his great style which he shows off with the scarf, his great hair, and adorable lines from his smile….am I missing anything? Yep, that’s why I love this picture. ☺


Favorite Channing Tatum Movie and Why?:

'SHE'S THE MAN'! When I got this movie, I watched it over and over and over for a week, eventually watched it with commentaries just to switch it up a bit. My parents were so sick of hearing it they were ready to break the dvd in half lol, but luckily they didn’t. ☺ It’s just a funny movie and has the cute lil romance factor weaved in. And of course Chan does an amazing job in it, plays the part perfectly. His shirt is off 50% of the movie, doesn’t get better than that.


Favorite Channing Tatum Scene and Why?:

This is a toughy because I don’t have a favorite scene. There’s always the trunk scene from 'Stop-Loss'…just kidding. I really like the scene from 'She's the Man' where Chan and Amanda are lying on their beds having a heart to heart conversation, I thought it was very cute.


Favorite Channing Tatum Movie Quote and Why?:

I don’t know if this is my favorite quote or not but all I know is that I say it all the time lol. In 'She's the Man' after the carnival Sebastian (Amanda) sees that Duke’s nose is bleeding and says, ‘oh my god you’re hurt’ followed by…”I mean, suck it up, be a man and rub some dirt on it.” I think it’s funny, and then the look on Chan’s face when she says, ‘okay, I’ll rub some dirt in it…’ *sigh* love it. lol


Favorite Upcoming Channing Tatum Movie and Why?:

I’m really excited for 'Dear John'. I haven’t read the book yet, though I am planning to soon. However, I have read other books by Nicholas Sparks and really liked them. Chan in a romance movie…I can’t wait!!!


Have you ever met Channing?:

Nope, haven’t met Channing. And I don’t remember my dreams but I’m sure he’s still in there lol. I hope someday I will, that would be so awesome I can’t even explain. I would be ecstatic and probably speechless, yes speechless lol


Why are you a Fabulous Channing Tatum Fan?:

It started by just being an addict to his movies, and him too of course. I knew when I watched one it would lead to a Channing Tatum movie marathon lol. I was looking for videos of 'She's the Man' one day and what ya know, found this place. CTU is amazing, anything and everything out there related to Chan Q finds. I still can’t wrap my head around how she does it. There are not many official sites out there for actors, actresses, singers, you name it that are like CTU. Of course it helps that Chan is not like other celebrities and is completely down to earth and just an amazing guy. CTU led me to meeting truly great people, something that I never thought would happen when I first stumbled upon this place. I’ve even had a chance to meet friends that I met through CTU, who were just as amazing in person ☺. I plan on staying for quite some time, hope that’s okay with you Q. lol


Why does Channing Tatum Unwrapped think that this fan belongs in the Fab Fan Spotlight?

Erin has been a great addition to the CTU family and has been heavily involved in the site since she joined. It always makes me happy to know that fans go beyond just reading the articles and bond with other fans on the site through the chat box and the forums. I thank Erin for all of her support and it's quite OK that you hang around for as long as you want!

I am currently choosing the next Fab Fan Spotlighter, so be on the lookout for an email from me requesting an interview and the next FFS might just be you!

Love Channing Tatum?
