![]() ![]() 'A fun diversion': Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum find laughs in 'The Lost City' ![]() Or, might it be a ploy to get back at her media mogul ex-husband (Alan Cox) by running around with a sexy exotic dancer? Or, both? The show is set to take place in the historic Ratigan Theater, which is coincidentally owned by her in-laws. ![]() Why? Because, she says, “his artistry makes me feel ecstasy.” She wants women everywhere to feel like she did the night she met Mike. So what’s that really accomplishing?Ĭhanning Tatum and Salma Hayek nearly had a mishap while rehearsing for their steamy routine in "Magic Mike's Last Dance."įaster than you can rip off a pair of tear-away pants, Mike and Max are on her private jet flying to London, where she pushes him to turn the staid costume drama "Isabela Ascendant" into a male stripper revue that she’ll pay him thousands to produce.
