Channing vs. Jenna: Their EPIC Lip Sync Battle, Remembered...
As previously reported, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have separated.
This means the stars will likely file for divorce in the near future and battle it out, at least a little bit, in court.
This is a truly stunning development when it comes to a couple all fans thought were in it for the longest haul possible, partly based on their epic battle of a different kind.
Indeed, Tatum and Dewan starred in what many consider to have been the greatest episode of Lip Sync Battle in Paramount Network history.
It took place two years ago and it featured Dewan channeling Channing"s Magic Mike XXL routine while dressed like a male stripper and gyrating around to Ginuwine"s "Pony."
Jenna later referred to this as one of the most "terrifying" moments of her life, although you"d never know it based on her performance.
Especially not when she gave her then-husband a lap dance!
But Dewan"s amazing routine was overshadowed by what Tatum did next.
Not only did he lip sync to Beyonce"s "Run The World (Girls)," but he dressed up like Beyonce in order to do so.
As you can see above and below, the outfit was epic:
But that STILL wasn"t all.
In the most unexpected moment in Lip Sync Battle history, Beyonce herself eventually joined Tatum on stage.
For real! We"re not kidding! It was amazing!
How did Channing and Jenna go from this to simply not having time for each other anymore?
We really don"t know. It makes us sad.
But the following video makes us happy.
So sit back and watch it now!
