Yes, he was a stripper. Yes, he was in Step Up—and Step Up 2: The Streets. But after a year like this, when he showed not just his abs and his glutes but his smarts and his inner Stanislavsky, it’s time to give Channing Tatum his due.
In 2012, men straight lost their minds over this woman—Chris Brown’s crazy neck tattoo, Brown and Drake’s nightclub riot. She drove the rest of us wild, too. And that was all before Rihanna dropped the sexiest, most outrageous album of the year.

Blame scotch nerds for the misconception that the ultimate version of any liquor—whiskey, mescal, even pisco—is the one that’s spent decades mellowing in an oak barrel. Truth is, some spirits taste delicious (and radically different) even if they never spend a second steeped in wood. Here are five liquors that have been in their prime since the moment they were born.
James Bond’s got a brand new bad guy. Meet Javier Bardem.
As if you really needed another reason to see Skyfall—we like her shaken, not stirred.
It’s said that sprinters peak in their twenty-seventh year. Usain Bolt is 26.

“No. No, I have not.” A fragile Jets fan and fierce denialist tries to make his peace with the arrival of Tebowmania in New York.
Sanchez walks into the locker room, and all of the molecules zip in his direction. As the scrum gathers, one of the Jets defensive stars, Antonio Cromartie, mock-serenades the reporters from across the room: “Hey, Mark, is it a competition between you and Tebow? Come on, Mark!”
The Jets PR staff handles today’s Sanchez-Tebow locker-room theatrics with perfect synchronicity. The two QBs do not overlap. Moments after Sanchez heads out, Tebow waltzes in. The charitable interpretation here is that the Jets are simply being helpful, sparing reporters from having to make a Sophie’s Choice about which guy to get quotes from. Less kind, but probably no less true, is that they do it to protect Sanchez from the humiliation of having to watch a far bigger crowd gather around his backup. (And there is no question that’s what would’ve happened.)
This is all deeply unfair to Sanchez, and even though it’s not Tebow’s fault, it represents a major obstacle in my quest to like him. In just three seasons as a pro, Sanchez has twice led the Jets to the AFC title game, and unlike Tebow, he has never been blown out in the postseason. Yet all the intangibles that Tebow is said to possess in spades—confidence, the capacity to lead and motivate—Sanchez is said to lack. This part, at least, isn’t unreasonable. At times, Sanchez can seem riven by self-doubt. Whereas Tebow inspires belief, something about Sanchez inspires skepticism, even though (and this is the key thing, or at least you’d think it would be) the actual results are almost always better with Sanchez.
And yet here is Sanchez exiting stage right so that Tebow can have the floor. This is probably more unfairness. Maybe Tebow was made to wait so that Sanchez could go first. But you’d be a fool to believe no one on the Jets put any thought into it.
No matter: It’s almost Tebow Time.
