Channing Tatum’s Workouts Earn Him Title of Sexiest Man Alive

Pull up your chairs ladies and get ready to oogle at a big piece of man. People Magazine has officially named its 2024 Sexiest Man Alive: Channing Tatum, the actor who most recently gained fame from his scandalous role as a stripper in the 2024 blockbuster Magic Mike.

People Magazine’s Julie Jordan told TODAY Wednesday that the decision was an easy one. “He’s the triple threat this year. There was romance in The Vow, there was comedy in 21 Jump Street and that little film Magic Mike where he was a stripper,” she said. “He’s more than just a body, he’s got heart, he loves his wife and he’s ready to be a daddy.”

In an exclusive interview with People Magazine, Tatum shared that he’s ready to settle down and be a family man, making him all the more attractive to his adoring female fans. “I’m ready; I think she’s ready,” he said. “The first number that pops into my head is three, but I just want one to be healthy and then we’ll see where we go after that.”

For those unfamiliar with Tatum’s career and his famous washboard abs, the 32-year-old actor was born and raised in Cullman, Alabama to a mother who was an airline worker and a father who worked in construction. When Tatum was 6 his family moved to Mississippi where the natural athlete discovered the world of sports, including football, soccer, track, baseball and martial arts. (more…)

Dr. Oz’s 2-Day Detox Diet in PEOPLE is More Proof He’s Sold Out

PEOPLE magazine awarded Dr. Oz with the title of Healthiest Man Alive. The story also provides readers with Dr. Oz’s 2-Day Detox Diet. Do the two contradict one another? We think so. (more…)

Dr. Oz’s 2-Day Detox Diet in PEOPLE is More Proof He’s Sold Out

Dr. Oz may be “America’s Doctor,” according to Oprah, but he’s not my doctor. If my heart were breaking down and truly needed saving, I might look him up and try to be one of the 200 cardiothoracic surgeries he personally performs every year. However, I don’t know that I’d follow any other medical advice he was prescribing.

Calling him a sell-out may sound harsh, but that’s how I’m starting to feel. His TV show is wildly popular, and puts health front and center in this country like never before. He has prime real estate to give Americans sound medical advice that could actually change their lives. Instead, he fills his airwaves with diet pill jokes like raspberry ketones, forskolin, and two-day wonder cleanses. How is any of this helpful?

Our resident dietitian, Mary Hartley, RD, spoke out after Dr. Oz’s raspberry ketone episode aired. “And so, did Dr. Oz lead us astray on the raspberry ketone claim? He did if you believe he has a medical obligation to the viewer. Call me jaded, but I believe Dr. Oz’s only obligation is to his network.”

I believe he is medically obligated to the viewer, and I also agree that his obligation has been prioritized to the media.

This week, PEOPLE called him the Healthiest Man Alive, and the good doctor appears on the cover alongside Matthew McConaughey’s wedding photo. Under a photo of “Summer’s Hottest Bodies” appears the headline “Bonus: Dr. Oz’s 2-Day Diet.”

I just have to ask why? (more…)

Jillian Michaels Announced as One of People Magazine’s Most Beautiful People

Jillian Michaels is a well-known figure in the fitness industry, not only for her role as the no-excuses trainer on The Biggest Loser, but also an inspiration of health to many people seeking to lead a healthy lifestyle.

But these days, she’s receiving recognition of a different kind as one of People Magazine’s 2024 Most Beautiful People – which is a highly-anticipated collection of the world’s most beautiful celebrities which the magazine publishes every year.

With much anticipation surrounding this year’s list, it’s no surprise that Jillian was named among the lucky few. And perhaps an even higher honor is that she was recognized among the most beautiful celebrities inside and out for their roles in helping people in need.

Of the star, People Magazine wrote that “During the process of adopting a baby, the trainer connected with an agency that brought ‘deeper meaning to my life,’ she [Jillian] says. ‘Other than being a parent, I can’t imagine anything more fulfilling.'” (more…)

Today, People Magazine announced its annual list of the World’s Most Beautiful Women; the magazine hits newsstands tomorrow, April 27. Gracing the 2024 cover is new mom and Hollywood super star Beyonce, who will be joined by nearly 180 other women who define beauty.

The top ten list includes some of the biggest television, music, and movie stars of the past year. What we like about all of them, including Miranda Lambert, Charlize Theron, and Christina Hendricks, is that they all embrace fit, active, healthy lifestyles.
