Rebel Wilson tweeted pictures with him last month, but it appears that was just a preview of her behind-the-scenes fun with Channing Tatum.
On Friday, new photos emerged of the Australian actress and Hollywood hunk Channing Tatum, geared up to shoot their MTV Movie Awards trailer.
The Magic Mike star, 32, showed off his buff biceps in a white tank and green military-style vest, reminiscent of his latest role in G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Rebel matched the Step Up star by wearing a white V-neck T-shirt and similar style camouflage vest, paired with black trousers.
One photo captures the duo from the side, squatting as they make fierce faces for the camera.
Channing appears to be a bit bronzed next to Rebel who has her blonde hair up in a pony tail.

A more planned photo shows the duo making peace signs for the camera, Channing flashing his pearly whites and Rebel making a duck face.
Finally, there's a fresh version of the picture Rebel previously tweeted along with the caption: 'I got action onset with @channingtatum today. He is pure man steak luscious x.'

Placing his left arm around her shoulder, the husband of Jenna Dewan-Tatum leaned in and smiled as he rested his cheek on the funny girl's forehead.
Being a huge fan, the Australian actress clearly reciprocated the affection, snuggling up to Channing with a huge grin on her face.
The actual MTV Movie Awards trailer was released last week, showing Rebel straddling Channing.
The Australian actress, who is hosting the event, even urges him to take his shirt off as she bounces on his lap in the hilarious action movie spoof advertising the forthcoming event.

It all starts when they burst through a hail of shell fire in a limousine, and Channing wants his companion to use a rocket launcher to dispense with their pursuers.
He says: 'Take the shot, we're running out of time. Let's go.'
But the cheeky Australian uses it as an excuse to climb on the hunk lap, telling him: 'I cant get a good angle. I've got to get to the side.'

And as he protests, it soon becomes clear it's is only an excuse for the curvy star.
She says: 'Tense those abs. Oh yeah this is good. This is a better position. They're gaining on us, take your shirt off.'
This promotional shoot was only a warm-up for the Bridesmaids actress, set to make her big debut as the host of the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on April 14.

Bell’s Palsy is a condition that causes paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face.
It results from a dysfunction of the cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve) causing an inability to control facial muscles on the affected side.
It's connected to viruses but a common cause can be plain old stress.
The Hold On favourite and her band are lined up to appear in Oklahoma on March 29, so hopefully she'll feel better by then.

You’re not supposed to upstage the bride! French and Saunders bring the laughs in comedy dresses as bridesmaids at real-life nuptials for Comic Relief



It’s a well-known fact that bridesmaids are not supposed to upstage the bride on her wedding day.
But it seems Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders didn’t get the memo or in the name of comedy and indeed charity they decided to ignore it.
Attending a real-life wedding organised by Miranda Hart in aid of Comic Relief,  the comedy duo got more than a few laughs in their massive dresses and Red Nose themed tiaras.

Standing on the steps of Westminster Registry office the women looked like butter wouldn’t melt as they prepared to help Claire Gilchrist walk up the aisle.
 

Dressed in what one would describe as typically horrible bridesmaids dresses, their pale peach colour gowns were more than unflattering. 
With frills around the collar and puff sleeves, when they turned around it was revealed the red sash at the front turned into a huge bow.
Fancy: The comedy duo wore gowns which were anything but simple with huge bows

In keeping with the event in hand they wore tiaras with red balls on them.
The duo seemed delighted to help Miranda with her impressive challenge and in the studio later that evening they couldn’t contain their excitement, as they kissed each other and Miranda on the lips.
And it seems that their turn as bridesmaids went down particularly well with the public who took to Twitter in their droves to praise the stars. 
That's better: The bride fortunately had two of her own bridesmaids with her for her big day

While another wrote: ‘I want French and Saunders at MY WEDDING. #comicrelief’

Miranda, with the help of a host of celebrity friends, successfully pulled off the wedding of all weddings as newlyweds, Ben and Claire Springett, officially tied the knot at 6.07pm in Marylebone Town Hall among a throng of friends, family and famous faces.

Each entrant was asked to submit a short video detailing why they should win.
 

Asked why she makes a good role model, Miss Harris said: 'My selflessness,  independence, strength, the fact Ellen DeGeneres chose me!'
In her video submission the Texas University student explains that she grew up with a single mother and three brothers and she hasn't seen her father for years.

'I honestly don’t remember the last time I talked  to my father, It’s not necessarily a bad thing. To me that’s helped my family stay so close,' she says through tears.
'My mom is in the military  she’s very selfless in the sacrifices she made for her children,' she continues.
'She’s been such a positive inspiration to me... If I could give her anything it would definitely be financial stability.'
Last July she founded the SMILE project - standing for Students Making Impacts in Lives Everywhere.
Over the past nine months she has organized food, clothing and winter coat drives.

'I wrote into the Ellen Show to tell Ellen about how much she’s inspired me to step out there and start a campaign that will positively impact other people,' she explains.
Ms DeGeneres told her: 'You represent everything we were looking for. To be your age and to be more concerned about helping other people.
'That's exactly what we were looking for, beauty inside and out.'
Asked how it felt to be the next CoverGirl Miss Harris said: 'Amazing… it’s unbelievable. It means the world to me.'
She will take part an exclusive photo shoot with Ms DeGeneres, who became a CoverGirl in 2009, next month.
