Channing Tatum got sexy for a spread in Out magazine to promote his upcoming movie Magic Mike, which hits theaters in June. The film is loosely based on his days as a stripper and costars Matthew McConaughey, Matthew Bomer, and Joe Manganiello, who joined him in character on the newest cover of Entertainment Weekly. In Out, Channing chats about his performing past and reflects on his career. Here's more from Channing Tatum in Out:

• On his own stripping days: "I never enjoyed the taking-the-clothes-off part. You are on a stage with people yelling at you, and you feel you're a rock star, but you're nothing — you're just a guy taking off his clothes, looking like a fool in a stupid outfit."
• On his career: "I've been acting for eight years now, and I feel I'm just starting to understand things. As soon as you think you're the sh*t, you'll find 100 people that will point at you and laugh. I don't ever want to be that person — I want to keep finding people I can learn from. That's my entire journey in life."
• On his costar: "With Joe Manganiello naked in a movie, I think even straight guys are going to be, 'Sh*t, I need to see that. That man is a specimen.'"

Britney Spears's face is front and center on the cover of Out Magazine, but inside the issue it's all about her hot body. She wore a revealing leotard that showed off two inner thigh tattoos and her bare behind in the spread, which was photographed by Ruven Afanador. The photo shoot is just the latest in a string of sexy poses for Britney, as she gears up for the release of her new album, Femme Fatale, this month. She was also game for a fun Q & A session where she touched on sex, family, and fame. Here's more:

• On regretting making any of her songs: "No. All of my songs are f*cking amazing."
• On the best advice she's received: "My mom said when you have a bad day, eat ice cream. That’s the best advice. "
• On the perks of fame: "Being able to reach people and hopefully make them happy."
• On plastic surgery: "When it’s time to pull and tuck, I’m sure I will consider it."
