Exclusive: 'Melrose Place' welcomes Mrs. Channing Tatum

Jenna-Dewan_lIt’s not G.I. Joe himself but it’s close.

Melrose Place has booked Channing Tatum’s real-life bride, dancer-turned-actress Jenna Dewan, for a multi-episode arc. The Step Up star will play a young movie studio exec who takes a liking to wannabe Tarantino, Jonah (Michael Rady), in at least two episodes.

Melrose gets rebooted on The CW beginning Sept. 8. In the meantime, enjoy this related (and rather amusing) video.

    …Is that video a joke???

    Two things Aus first can’t wait to see her on MP. Second don’t insult her she has a carrier not just Mrs. Tatum.

    Love the inside info keep dealing.

    Misfit.

      Did you mean ‘career’? you make it sound like she has a disease or something by saying ‘carrier’. And besides Step Up, all she’s done is a TV movie and some behind the scences choreography work, so referencing her as Channing Tatum’s wife (since he was the main character in a summer blockbuster) isn’t so bad. (I’d take that for sure!)

      Do you mean career? You make it sound like she has a disease or something by saying ‘carrier’. AND anyway, besides ‘Step Up’ all she’s done is a TV movie and some behind the scenes choreography work, so being referenced as Channing Tatum’s (who is in one of this summer’s big blockbusters) wife is not so bad. (I’d sure as heck take it!)

      • Misfit

        Yeah this is when auto correction hurts. I must have fat fingered and the auto correction changed it to ‘carrier’ instead of career.

        As for what she has done so far well I guess when you do something good at work you like to be introduced as Mrs. (your spouse) name.

    *sigh* Why am I not excited about Melrose Place?

  • RLS

    You should be, gigi. Saw the pilot, and it is freaking awesome. Deliciously trashy and absurd, just like the original! Can’t wait for this. I think it’s gonna be a smash.

  • Julia

    MP seems mildly appealing to me only because of Michael Rady, Laura Leighton and Katie Cassidy. Isn’t that Max Greenfield from Veronica Mars in the video?

  • april-ann

    She is hard looking with a touch of vixen, should fit right in at MP.

  • lilisullivan

    Why is the guy from Veronica Mars in your video?

  • Mary Jennings

    Can you give us the scoop on what we can expect from Cold Case and Numb3rs this season? I have yet to hear anything on both of these great shows!!!

  • Samantha Delynne

    She would be great for the updated version of Melrose Place.
