Channing Tatum Says Kanye And Kim Should Prepare For A Baby Showdown

If you're going to grill a pair of talented actors during an interview in which they can only answer "yes" or "no," it's hard to do better than Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx. When MTV News' Josh Horowitz sat down with the "White House Down" stars to discuss their careers, their (very) personal lives and their new film, the two answered as candidly as they could, given their two options.

Tatum and Foxx braved the treacherous waters of After Hours and "The Yes/No Show" and came out on the other side, but not without spilling some secrets along the way, including:

» Channing Tatum on the proper spelling of "G-Y-L-L-E-N-H-A-A-L." (Don't worry, that's a hard one.)

» The current location of the Academy Award nomination unfairly stolen from Jamie Foxx for his role in "Django Unchained."

» Channing's predictions for the eventual Dewan-Tatum baby versus North West showdown.

» The shock revelation about the last time Channing watched pornography.

After Hours wasn't the first time Foxx and Tatum went through a stressful situation together. In "White House Down," Tatum plays John Cale, a wannabe Secret Service agent who is forced to be the real deal when terrorists storm the presidential digs. Foxx plays the president, whom Cale must protect for the future of the country and the safety of his daughter.

Check out everything we've got on "White House Down," out Friday.

Pink Reveals Her Inner Sex Addict In ‘Thanks For Sharing’ Trailer

Bold is a word to describe not only Pink's music, but also her role in the new sex-addiction comedy,

Alecia Moore joins a who's who of skilled Hollywood vets, including Mark Ruffalo, who plays a fellow sex addict, a lingerie-clad Gwyneth Paltrow, Carol Kane, Tim Robbins, "Love and Other Drugs" actor Josh Gad and Joely Richardson.

In the brand-new trailer, fans are getting a glimpse at Moore's acting prowess. The story follows a group of sex addicts trying to balance their addiction and romantic lives. Ruffalo is dating Paltrow, who at one point tries to seduce him in sexy lingerie.

"Isn't that something that guys just say when they're caught cheating?" she wonders when he confesses he has an addiction.

Pink, on the other hand, is attending meetings, which she's billed as "a sausage fest." There's no shortage of quips from the singer in the trailer. "Damn, dude, you just got all Jack Bauer on me!" she tells her pal, played by Gad, when he tries to stop her from from meeting up with her ex.

The film, which is expected to hit theaters later this year, was directed and co-written by "The Kids Are All Right" helmer Stuart Blumberg, who talked to MTV News back in 2011 about Pink's stellar performance.

"[Pink] could not be a more ideal fit for this role," he said. "She carries with her just the right combination of heart and edginess for the part of Dede, and we're incredibly excited to share her acting talent with audiences."

Ed Sheeran Says New Music Coming In ‘January’

Ed Sheeran took to Twitter on Wednesday for an impromptu Q&A session in which he revealed plenty ... including his favorite flavor of Ben & Jerry's (Phish Food), go-to brands of toothpaste (Colgate or Aquafresh) and style of underwear (boxers, since he "needs space to breathe").

More importantly, he also answered a few questions about his music, too. When asked by a fan when we'd get to hear something off his long-in-the-works follow-up to + — you know, the one he's previously said would either be a or find him channeling his inner — Sheeran replied, rather matter-of-factly, "January."

It's not known if January is also when Sheeran plans on releasing his new album, though in recent interviews, he's said that the disc will be out "early next year" and that he plans on spending October, November and December plotting its release. A spokesperson for his label, Atlantic Records, did not respond to MTV News' request for comment on the matter by press time.

Sheeran also said that, though he's been spending plenty of time in the U.S. in recent months as the opening act on Taylor Swift's seemingly endless Red tour, he's "definitely not" planning on moving to the States on a permanent basis (there was no update, however, on whether we'd ever get to hear the Swift song he has ).

And, reflecting back on his rather rapid rise to fame, Sheeran answered a fan's question about his 2010 Loose Change EP, admitting that it represents a bleak period in his life, but ...

Will Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx Go On Tour After Viral Vid?

Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum are building their box-office clout with "White House Down," a surefire crowd-pleaser that should have moviegoers jumping out of their seats. But the actors told MTV that they're especially excited about their other collaborative effort — a musical one which kicked off with the recent unveiling of the single "(I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum," a song they debuted after the Oscars on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

"It was just fun," Foxx told MTV News' Josh Horowitz during the press day for "White House Down." "And that's what people like to see, people having fun. And we're going to reboot the song and put some real things on that joint."

Last week, the song got a video treatment with Gabourey Sidibe, Olivia Munn and Miley Cyrus.

Tatum revealed bigger plays for their musical misadventures. "We're going to start touring," he confessed. "We're going to start off in Laos."

In "White House Down," Foxx and Tatum share the screen in almost every scene, playing the U.S. President (Foxx) and an aspiring secret service agent (Tatum) who tries to protect the Commander-In-Chief from terrorists. Tatum explained that the two shared a comfortable relationship off screen as well. "We're both from the South. I liked his whole crew," he said. "And it's just nice — it feels like home. It's comfy."

Although Tatum more than showed his stuff in "Magic Mike," when asked how well he would fare in protecting Foxx if asked to do so during their interview, he insisted he could handle anything — but then again, ...

Jay-Z’s Samsung Deal Is ‘Genius,’ So Master P Wants Dibs On Verizon

Master P is one of the most successful businessmen that hip-hop has ever seen, and during his visit to "RapFix Live" on Wednesday (June 26), the No Limit Records founder gave props to Jay-Z for continuing to push the boundaries with his "new rules" and the roll-out plan for Magna Carta Holy Grail.

Hov made an unprecedented move when he revealed the release date and details about his album during game 5 of the NBA Finals in a 3-minute long commercial sponsored by Samsung. And that was only the beginning, as the Roc Nation CEO also struck a deal with the company to purchase 1 million copies of the album before it even hit stores.

"To be honest with you, I think it's genius to partner up with a technology company," Master P said of Jay's big moves. "I'm working on [my album] right now and hopefully Verizon will call me real soon."

P went with his new idea, continuing, "My next record... I'll drop it through them and do it at a football game or something," he said, laughing and saluting Hov for continuing to think outside of the box.

"We 'bout to think bigger than this, bigger than just music," he said, referencing Maino and The Mafia, who were also live on the set. "We 'bout to link up and show 'em how we connect. That's what these corporations are doing, why can't we do it? We all come from the streets and we all got a certain market somewhere, and if we all link up, it'd make everybody ...

Justin Bieber’s Failed ‘SNL’ Skit Surfaces: Watch!

Justin Bieber's in February had girls all over the world fawning over the singer's funny bone when he hosted and served as musical guest. But turns out, not every part of the show was hilarious. NBC posted an unreleased sketch called "Song for Daddy" from the show's dress rehearsal that never made it to air. The skit's writers provided commentary to explain why it didn't make it, calling it the "greatest train wreck ever"

The clip starts off with castmember Bill Hader, who plays a crusty old country-western musician and remains the focus of the sketch for its entirety. So, for the teen audience that gathered in Rockefeller Center's studio 8H wanting some Biebs, they were already pretty disappointed.

"The audience right now is filled with pre-pubescent girls," Hader says in the commentary. "This is not the crowd for this. It's just all Justin Bieber fans. ...I'm just looking at young girls looking at me wondering 'When is Justin going to do something? Is this really about this old man?' "

Justin makes his appearance soon enough, but he got off to a bad start. A wall started to fall from the set, and the wig-wearing singer looks off camera warily. Hader doesn't break character, but asks the stage manager if they should proceed. "Ah, the stage almost fell on ya, son. That would've sucked," he ad-libbed in a jokey twang. But in the NBC commentary, Hader points out that "he's really scared right there. That's true fear on Justin Bieber's face."

From there, things only went downhill. When Bill pulled ...

Gay-Marriage Ruling Sparks Crazy Dancing And Body Paint: Watch Here!

June 26, 2013 will undoubtedly go down in American history as a red-letter day — a shining star on the nation's corkboard alongside such landmark moments as the election of the first black president and the end of segregation. And thanks to social media, the moment was also one of the most well-documented in the nation's history.

The internet was buzzing long before the Supreme Court handed down its decision to strike down two laws limiting the rights of same-sex couples. And it only grew louder as the historic news broke, with same-sex couples and heterosexual supporters alike kicking off an online celebration. Luckily, we've wrapped up some of the videos that stood out among the cheers.

We start off with the Stonewall Inn, the site of the 1969 Stonewall riots that put a major uptick in the gay rights movement. Those awaiting the SCOTUS decision hung out at the bar and celebrated in the streets. Benjamin Eye caught the celebration and the media frenzy around the tavern.

Over in California, where gay people can now legally marry after Prop 8 was overturned, celebration also took over historic landmarks. Katy Tang shared her rainbow-pride neck scarf with a bust of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay politician to be voted into office in California.

And those in Cali waved their flags proudly, whether it was a pride flag, a state flag or this combination of both, highlighting the new harmony.

But not everyone was out celebrating though. Poor Jayson Flores was stuck at work. However, that didn't stop him ...
