The stars of Magic Mike will show the world their strippin' moves when the film hits theaters in June, and a handful of the guys are giving us a sneak peek on this week's cover of Entertainment Weekly. Leading man Channing Tatum is joined by costars Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer for a hot photo shoot, and of course, an interview. Once you're done ogling the eye candy, here are a few highlights from the interview:

• Tatum on the vibe on set: "Actors, generally, if we finish our scenes early one day, we go home. It wasn't like that on this set. Especially during the dances — we were there cheering everybody on."
• Tatum on McConaughey getting his thong ripped off by rowdy fans: "It was a collection of women being like, 'I have to tip him,' and then the weight of all the dollar bills in their hands just took [his thong] off."
• Manganiello on how True Blood prepped him: "When I came in for a meeting with the casting director, she hadn't seen True Blood. So she said, 'Are you going to be comfortable with partial nudity?' And I go, 'Have you seen my show? I'm the poster child for that.'"

Glee will be back from a long hiatus tonight, which means we'll (hopefully) finally learn the outcome of Quinn's car accident. These new pictures from the episode don't provide any hints on that front, but we do get an exciting first glimpse of Matt Bomer as Blaine's big bro, Cooper. Not only does he share Blaine's good looks, but apparently Cooper is also a big movie star who teaches the glee club a few things about acting. Take a peek at the episode now, and be sure to watch Bomer belt out "Somebody That I Used To Know" alongside Darren Criss!

George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Martin Sheen were among the A-list actors who participated in the stage reading of 8 in LA last night. The play, written by Dustin Lance Black, showcases the proceedings of the 2010 Proposition 8 federal court battle about California's gay marriage ban that was approved in 2008. The real life events were not broadcast to the public so Dustin Lance Black wrote this script to show what went on behind those closed doors. The play made its debut on Broadway last year, but last night it was all about the star power. 8 streamed live on YouTube, where it will also be available to watch at any time for the next week. Other celebrities in the performance included Kevin Bacon, Chris Colfer, Jesse Tyler Ferguson Jamie Lee Curtis, Matt Bomer, and more.

The overturning of Prop 8 is a cause that George and Brad have both spoken about many times. Clooney recently spoke about rumors about his own sexuality to The Advocate, saying, "I’m not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I’m very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I’m gay? I’ll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don’t give a sh*t."

Justin Timberlake was the man of the hour at last night's LA premiere of In Time. Justin, who opted for a fashion-forward camel suit and brown shirt ensemble, posed with his leading lady in the film, Amanda Seyfried, on the red carpet before heading in to check out the screening. JT's mom in the futuristic action movie, Olivia Wilde, was also on hand, as was cute Matthew Bomer. JT's on-again girlfriend, Jessica Biel, reportedly attended the afterparty, though she skipped the photo line. Their rekindled romance seems to be going strong, and they were spotted out to dinner with his parents on Wednesday night. Justin is branching out into a new genre with In Time, which hits theaters in one week. We recently sat down with the actor to chat about taking on the intense subject matter, and Justin said he tapped into his "personal demons" to tackle the role.

A shirtless Joe Manganiello traded the dark and swampy set of True Blood for the beachy Tampa, FL production site of Magic Mike yesterday. The hot showing came the same day his costars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, and Matthew McConaughey flaunted their six-packs filming the male-stripper tale. The toned cast has disrobed all over the country, including LA and Miami as well. Joe Manganiello is single since his sudden split from fiancée Audra Marie last month, but the breakup didn't slow down his work schedule. In addition to Magic Mike, Joe's also been cast in What to Expect When You're Expecting and shares the small screen with Matt Bomer on an episode of White Collar. Joe wrapped Magic Mike last night, and tweeted that "minds will be blown" by his small, but important, part.

Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, and Matt Bomer all went shirtless and showed off their sexy six-packs yesterday afternoon as they shot new scenes for their male-stripper movie Magic Mike in Tampa, FL. Channing, Alex, and Matt, who were clad in swim trunks, had the company of a bikini-clad Olivia Munn on the boat that served as the set for the day. Meanwhile, Matthew sunned himself solo on the sand in a cowboy hat and shorts. The upcoming film is loosely based on Channing's own past as an exotic dancer and has also shot in Miami and LA over the past couple of months. Matthew has been splitting his time between the project and his role opposite Reese Witherspoon in Mud. That movie is filming in the South, as well, but Matthew and Reese made a pit stop in their hometown of LA last week for a double date with their significant others. Reese and Jim Toth hosted a Livestrong fundraiser that Matthew and his partner Camila Alves also attended on Thursday night.

It was an action-packed afternoon on the set of White Collar in NYC today. True Blood's Joe Manganiello left his werewolf alter ego back in Bon Temps, LA, and yielded a gun for an intense looking shoot-out alongside series regular Tim Dekay. It's been an exciting few week for Joe with True Blood premiering its fourth season on Sunday and Joe's shirtless GQ spread. You can catch more of Joe this Summer on his HBO drama, but you'll have to wait until January to watch his White Collar episode. Matt Bomer managed to keep himself out of harms way while bullets were flying, though he did slip into a perfectly tailored suit for his own batch of scenes. Tiffani Thiessen had a special visitor on the set as well, taking a break with daughter Harper Smith who just turned 1 on June 15.
