You can now call him the sexiest dad in the world. Sources have confirmed to Us Weekly that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum welcomed their first child into the world on Thursday, with the actress giving birth to a boy in London. The stars – who met on the set of Step Up in 2006 and got married in 2009 – announced they were expecting a baby in December. Tatum will next be seen in White House Down and recently signed on for 21 Jump Street 2 . We send our best to the newly expanded couple!
Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries really kicked the proverbial hornet’s nest. By remarking, basically, that his clothing company caters only to “the cool kids” and he doesn’t want any fat girls in his stores, he caused a major uproar. Stars like Kirstie Alley and Ellen slammed A&F for sending such a message, and now a blogger named Jes (a.k.a. The Militant Baker) has upped the ante. Recreating popular topless Abercrombie ads (and wearing their clothes) in a series of photos, the Size-22 Jess says A&F should stand for “Attractive & Fat.” She published the images – which should make Jeffries cringe – on her blog, with an open letter to the company lamenting its stance on “larger people.” Jeffries told Business Insider that A&F is “exclusionary,” and for “cool and popular kids … a lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes] and they can’t belong.” Jes writes that she hopes one day all ads, even A&F’s, will feature plus-size females or “unconventional models” with “not short, not fat, professional models.” H&M’s swimsuit model in this summer’s catalog qualifies, but somehow we don’t see A&F following suit – even if, as Jes notes, their clothes do fit her. Take a long look, Mike! Check out more of Jes’ photos below:

Quite a week for the lost and found. First, a Utah man found a McDonald’s hamburger from 1999 in his coat pocket. Now a South Carolina woman whose wallet was stolen 23 years ago has gotten it back. Wallet Found 23 Years Later Jeri Cox Chastain was working at Doctors Memorial Hospital in Spartanburg, S.C., when her wallet was stolen along with her license and bank cards. That was 1990. On Wednesday, a man working in the Business Technology Center called police after finding a wallet in the ceiling of a second floor bathroom. An officer checked the wallet, and found a receipt from 1990 and the driver’s license with Chastain’s name, which at the time was Jeri Cox Maness. Police located Chastain, who said she plans to go to city hall to pick the wallet up on Friday, and she couldn’t be happier for one reason in particular: She will finally get back beloved pictures of her now-grown son.
21 Jump Street is by far one of the most successful Small Screen-to-Big Screen adaptations ever. In fact, it currently sits 7th on the list of all-time box office gross for TV adaptations, behind Star Trek , three Mission Impossible Movies , The Fugitive , and Sex and the City . Now, 21 Jump Street is getting a sequel , with a release date set for June 6, 2014. Original writer Michael Bacall is returning to pen the script, with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum coming back to star. Read through some 21 Jump Street quotes to relive the first film.
Fifteen years after Denise Richards’ and Neve Campbell’s swimming-pool make-out session made Wild Thing s a cult hit, director John McNaughton says he and the film’s screewriter Stephen Peters are working on a continuation of the story that would involve those characters children and take its inspiration from the Amanda Knox case. If you didn’t see the Lifetime docudrama, Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy , that’s the tabloid-headline-generating case in which Knox, an American student in Italy, was initially convicted then acquitted of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher during a rough sex game that involved two other men in 2007. (Italy’s highest court has since ordered a retrial.) McNaughton told Hollywood.com the following: “It’s not one of the sequels, but about their children,” he says. OK, that sounds odd, but just wait. It gets real crazy. “Do you know the Amanda Knox case? It’s something like that. Something that’s like the child of Suzie Toller [Campbell’s character], she claimed that Matt Dillon ‘s [character] had raped her a long time ago and maybe there is a child and maybe Bill Murray ‘s character had a child and they’re exchange students and things get out of hand. We’re calling it Wild Child Things .” Love the title, and, as the website pointed out, Richards and Campbell are “super available” these days. The big questions are whether Murray could be enticed into making a cameo if his seed actually figures into the plot, and whether Knox’s legal and public relations team, who have been battling hard to protect their client from all the “Foxy Knoxy” innuendo , will push back against McNaughton making the connection between his movie and the Italian melodrama. Along those same lines, Knox has been making the media rounds to promote her memoir Waiting to Be Heard , which tells her side of the story.

I’m not as jazzed as everyone else seems to be about Deadline’s report that 20th Century Fox is developing a remake of Guys and Dolls. It was a great movie, but unless it gets a serious update in the writing department, I think it’s too broad and antiquated to connect with contemporary audiences on a mass level. On the other hand, I totally agree that if the movie’s going to have a serious shot at making it, Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are about the best casting choices the studio could make. (I’m expecting to hear Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway’s names added to the mix any minute now, too. By now, you’ve been reminded of Tatum and Gordon-Levitt’s fleet-footed performance on the Oscars earlier this year, but here’s further proof that JGL is a serious song and dance man. Gordon-Levitt paid homage to Donald O’Connor’s great “Make’em Laugh” performance from the 1952 MGM musical Singin’ In The Rain when he hosted Saturday Night Live in 2009. Check him out below: Make ’em Gasp If you don’t think that was difficult, keep in mind O’Connor spent a week recuperating from carpet burns and plain old exhaustion after shooting the original and admittedly more strenuous version: Top This Top that, Tatum.

When Cate Edwards learned that her father, former presidential candidate John Edwards, was cheating on her mother, Elizabeth, she was crushed. The 31-year-old daughter of the disgraced former U.S. senator adds that he personally admitted to her that he had had an affair with Rielle Hunter . “I guess he and my mom decided that that was how it needed to be done. So yeah, I was devastated. And I was very disappointed,” Edwards said. “I mean, these are my parents. I had grown up with a lot of love in my family. And it was hard to see them go through this,” Cate said in an interview on Today . Asked if she was mad, Cate Edwards said, “Yeah, of course.” She gave a dignified response when asked about the “unpleasant things” Rielle Hunter wrote in her book, What Really Happened, John Edwards, Our Daughter and Me . “I just thought it was … a poor choice, I guess, is all I can say.” Cate spoke fondly of her mother, Elizabeth Edwards, who passed away after a brave struggle with cancer, saying, “I miss her in sort of big ways and small ways.” “The big things that go by, like my wedding. She wasn’t able to be there. But we got to talk about it. I felt incredibly lucky that I got the chance to even have that conversation with her. “I carried out some of her vision which was great, to sort of feel her presence there even though she wasn’t there. And then there are small things. I mean, I get away with bad grammar.” “I never used to get away with bad grammar.”
