I watched Magic Mike with my mom. And I don't get the hoopla around it, why it's such a hit. Sure, the stripping scenes were very well done, Channing Tatum was awesome and Matt Bomer was cute but... 
Patrick Wilson plays the unhappy and suicidal captain of the ship, while Liv Tyler stars as an assistant captain on a space ship in a Seventies-style version of the future, which follows the crew of a space station.

True Blood's Joe Manganiello made the Inspiration Award presentation to Slate PR executive Simon Halls and his partner White Collar's Matt Bomer, who spoke of being a gay adolescent in a small Texas town where he "did what any self-protective 14 year-old would do: sign up for the school play and the football team -- to cover my tracks."
Based on the acclaimed 1983 novel by Mark Helprin, the story that follows a thief (Colin Farrell) who breaks into a wealthy man’s (William Hurt) home, sparking a relationship with the man’s terminally ill daughter (Jessica Findlay-Brown) with reincarnation, a flying horse, and a time-shift of 100 years all playing a part of the plot.

And, to answer your question, Matt is just the most… I mean, they should teach a class on how young actors can be more like him. He is extraordinary - just the way he composes himself onset. He has such a great work ethic.
PC: You two seem kindred spirits in some ways. Did you pass onto him any sage wisdom?
TW: I wish he gave me advice when I was his age! He doesn’t need any advice from me or anyone.
PC: He’s got it all covered.
TW: He is going to have such a wonderful career - he’s just extraordinary. You know, I think that we could very well have the next Cary Grant on our hands and his name is Matt Bomer.
PC: Wow - high praise indeed. He’s a true triple-threat, too - what a great voice. Did you two duet at all onset?
TW: Oh, he never stops singing! We sang all the time together, actually - he tended to sing more modern stuff, whereas I prefer the ballads. [Laughs.]
EW: Matthew, a lot of photographers have probably sent their kids to college with the money they made selling photos of you shirtless at the beach. Were you worried about playing into that image?
McConaughey: [Deadpans] This was a new challenge. I had to be pantless.
[Tatum chokes on his food laughing.]
Tatum: I didn't look at it like that till now.
TVLINE | We don’t have to worry about you leaving White Collar any time soon, right?
No, I consider White Collar my home base. I’m so lucky to get to play a character that’s very multifaceted and the writers take risks on and never get into a staid process with. They’re always challenging themselves and, thusly, me as an actor. As long as they continue to do that, I’m happy. I love my job on White Collar. I won’t be leaving it any time soon.

TVLINE | You and Tim DeKay have some of the best chemistry on-screen and off. What’s your secret?
I compare it to two kids who just hit it off on the playground and they come over for a play date and you have to call them in five times for dinner because they don’t want to stop playing. Tim has an amazing sense of humor — he makes me laugh a lot — and he understands my sense of humor. From the first time we read together, I completely understood what he was bringing to the character of Peter Burke, and I think he understood what I was bringing to Neal. It was this yin-yang that felt really easy and not forced. For me, that was really important in terms of having a long-term dynamic.
You’ve also got a star-studded cast for The Normal Heart, including Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, Alec Baldwin, Jim Parsons, Matt Bomer...
That is another passion project. I love Larry Kramer’s advocacy and I love him as a person, and I think young people need to see that story. I came of age during AIDS and the terror of that and the sadness and the death and the overwhelming despair. I love the story of these guys coming together and saying okay, the government is not helping us, we need to do something. Larry has been writing the script for several months with me. The other day I wrote him and said, “Were you ever scared? We need to do a scene about that.” But he said, “I was never scared, I was just angry.” So, now there’s a scene about that. It’s a big privilege for me to talk to somebody who I feel is such a great, important historical figure. We’re shooting it in two halves. We’re shooting for four weeks, and then we’ll go down and Matt has to lose like 25 pounds and then we’ll resume.
In an interview with the New York Times, Parsons discusses his recent work on Broadway, which includes playing a gay activist in The Normal Heart.
In reporting Parsons' affinity for the play, author Patrick Healy revealed something that has been long speculated. "The Normal Heart resonated with him on a few levels: Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again onstage was like nourishment," he wrote.
"He’s incredible," Kurtzman said. "What he does with language is incredible. His training is amazing and he’s so magnetic, he holds the screen in any size frame, he really is a joy to watch."
Insider: It certainly helps when you talk about putting a speedo on backwards.
Matt: I wish it were a speedo! It's a small equilateral triangle with the thinnest string. It was dark and 5am, I couldn't get it together.
Insider: Tim, what do you think about seeing your friend in that light?
Tim: I can't wait! I can not wait! First in line to buy a ticket!
Matt: Oh god … [laughs]
Insider: I've heard from co-stars that you've got the best moves, Matt. True or false?
Matt: That is so false. Channing [Tatum] is one of the coolest people I've ever worked with and one of the best dancers I've ever seen. His dancing defies the laws of physics. He's 6' 1" and in great shape but moves his body in the most incredible ways. People will be blown away by his dancing in this.
Bomer, 34, came out Saturday at the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards, where he was honored with the New Generation Arts and Activism Award for his work in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
"I'd really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry," he said during his speech. "Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment."
