New Moon screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg desparately wants superhunk Channing Tatum to star as child-army leader Riley in the Eclipse movie that David Slade will direct. This was revealed in the E! article we reported on a couple of days ago about Rosenberg’s thoughts on what the rating of Breaking Dawn should be, but we continue to receive emails about it–so it’s obviously struck a nerve with you guys.
What do you think–would Channing Tatum be a good fit for Riley’s character? He’s set to play Duke in the blockbuster G.I. Joe movie due in August, and after looking at this pic [NSFWish] of him, I think he would fit in just fine with the rest of the TwiHunks.

Jackson Rathbone has a new interview with the tattoo rag Inked where he chats a bit about his own tattoo, plus a bit about the wild times earlier in his life–
INKED: Let’s talk tattoos. How many do you have?
JACKSON RATHBONE: I only have one right now, but I definitely plan on getting more. My friends and I were kind of the bad kids in school, the troublemakers. We went to Interlochen Arts Academy, this really great boarding school in Michigan, and there were six of us who were always acting out against authority. The school administration was like, “Stay away from those boys-they’re ‘Lost Boys,’” so that’s what everyone called us. When I was 18, I got a tattoo that says, “I’m lost.”
What kind of shenanigans did you guys get into?
Remember the prohibition era? It was kind of like that.
Did you have a speakeasy in your dorm room?
Let’s just say we had a lot of alcohol on the premises that we weren’t supposed to have. We kept whiskey in shampoo bottles and vodka in conditioner bottles. A few of my friends were actually expelled.
Check out the rest at Inked Mag.
