Channing Tatum Announces Magic Mike Live with the Help of Shirtless Dudes and Puppies

Channing Tatum is the smartest man in Hollywood. That's not saying a lot since Hollywood is apparently full of jabroneys who wouldn't know diversity if it slapped them in the collective face, but next to them, Tatum is a bona fide genius. The former stripper and current America's sweetheart has taken his Magic Mike franchise to its next logical and brilliant step with a live Vegas show premiering next March at the Hard Rock (naturally) Hotel.

Tatum took to Facebook to exclusively announce Magic Mike Live, openly pandering to its intended audience with hot shirtless dudes, puppies, and hot shirtless dudes holding puppies.

Hey, if it ain't broke.

Tatum wants to revolutionize male entertainment and start a conversation--I guess about gender roles or whatever--but here's hoping this is an equal opportunity conversation/ogle-fest. Because half of Magic Mike's audience is gay. And the other half is thirsty. Kidding, the entire audience is thirsty. Magic Mike is the ultimate thirst trap and now it's going to be a tourist trap, too! Channing Tatum for the goddamn win.
