Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Stun the World, Announce Separation
Love is officially dead.
We are most definitely living in the darkest timeline.
Everything will believed to be right has turned out to be so very very wrong.
Yes, we said and thought all these things when Donald Trump was elected President.
But we’re now saying and thinking them because Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have announced they are ending their marriage.
Yes, that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, the same couple who once said they have amazing primal sex and whose tribute to each other on the occasion of an anniversary in 2016 made us laugh and cry.
What the heck could have happened?!
We don’t know just yet.
But the actor and actress, who met on the set of iconic dance movie Step Up over a decade ago, released a joint statement on Monday night that reads as follows:
“Hey world! So… We have something we would like to share.
“First off, it feels odd that we have to share this kind of thing with everyone, but it’s a consequence of the lives we’ve chosen to lead, which we also happen to be deeply grateful for.
“We’re living in an incredible moment in time, but it’s also a time where truth can easily get distorted into ‘alternative facts.’
“So we want to share the truth so you know that if you didn’t read it here then it’s most certainly fiction.”
Indeed, this is undoubtedly the most cheerful break-up announcement in recent memory.
The Twitter message continues/concludes as follows:
We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together.
Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now.
There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision – just two best-friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible.
We are still a family and will always be loving dedicated parents to Everly. We won’t be commenting beyond this, and we thank you all in advance for respecting our family’s privacy.
Sending lots of love to everyone.
Wow, right?!?!?
The stars are each 37 years old and share a daughter; she turns five in May.
They got married in 2009 and talk did start to circulate late last year that there may be trouble in attractive paradise after Dewan attended the American Music Awards solo.
But still.
Channing had previously scoffed at rumors of marital strife.
“It’s all bullsh-t,” Tatum previously The Hollywood Reporter, adding:
“These people just [make it up]. Some of our family members don’t see [it’s not true], and they read a stupid thing and don’t understand it’s a tabloid.”
Well, this time it is not a tabloid.
This time we have heard the news straight from Tatum’s gorgeous mouth itself.
We’re stunned. We’re shook. Our true love confidence level is at an all-time low.
At the very least, we’ll always have Anna Faris and Chris Pratt, right?
Wait…. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Back in February, Dewan did scoff at the notion that her relationship was totally perfect.
But she sounded very normal and grounded in explaining what the romance was like, telling Health magazine:
“I think there are such things as great fits. It is a great fit as long as you are growing together, and I think up until this point we’ve really grown together.
“Even if one starts to grow, the other catches up and vice versa. But I think a couple needs to be conscious and to want to do the work and be willing to look at the parts of you that need work.
“Both of us have been pretty aware and willing to do that. We’ve always had the same values. But we’re not perfect! Are you kidding?
“We fight like other couples, we disagree about things, we have days where we don’t really like each other.”
Oh well.
We wish each half of this former union nothing but the best.
We have a feeling neither will have trouble finding a new lover.

Elton John and Miley Cyrus Stun With "Tiny Dancer" Duet!
Grammys viewers are still outraged that Lorde wasn"t invited to perform solo and basking in the afterglow of Kesha"s powerful "Praying" performance.
But the Grammys are a celebration of music, and singers don"t have to be winners or even especially relevant to have their time in the spotlight.
Which is why we were all treated to absolute legend Elton John singing "Tiny Dancer" … in a stunning duet with none other than Miley Cyrus. Take a look in the video below!
Before the performance even began, they were introduced by Anna Kendrick.
Anna even acknowledges that she"s introducing them because she is famously tiny.
If you"re tall, pretty much everyone under 6 feet looks the same height — a height called "short." But Anna Kendrick is 5-foot-2. She"s conspicuously small. And therefore the perfect celeb to introduce this duet.
You might think that you don"t know one Elton John song from another, but we have a feeling that most people will recognize "Tiny Dancer" from somewhere or another.
As we said, Elton John is an absolute legend, and he"s been in this game for a long time.
Elton John begins to play the piano and sing, as he is want to do.
It"s good to remember that the world was nearly robbed of his talent, as it was less than a year ago that Elton John was still recovering from a potentially deadly infection. Money can buy you first-rate health care, but it doesn"t make you immune to illness.
Even so, Sir Elton is going to retire from music and spend more time with his family. But first, he"ll do a farewell tour.
You"ll notice the white rose sitting on Elton John"s piano. That"s not just artistic whimsy — it"s his nod to the #TimesUp movement.
Other artists wore white flowers on the red carpet.
It isn"t long into Elton John"s performance when Miley steps in.
Miley is wearing a gorgeous dress.
Her voice is as lovely as ever, and while we"d never want to overshadow an artist"s talent by talking about their outfit, this is one of those situations when we need to talk about how Miley is choosing to portray herself.
Just as Sir Elton"s colorful, glittery suit is part of his brand, the way that Miley presents herself is relevant to her performance.
For years, Miley talked nonstop about how much she loves marijuana. "Coincidentally," that was also the period in her life when Miley decided to appropriate black culture.
Labeling herself a "hippie," Miley was almost a mascot for white privilege, using black people as props in her wild and outlandish performances and singing constantly about how much she loves a controlled substance that has been used as an excuse to ruin the lives of countless black people.
Recently, however, Miley decided to reinvent herself into the New Old Miley. Just look at her.
That"s right. Miley quit weed because she dreamed that she would die, even though it might be literally impossible for her to actually overdose on marijuana.
(We"re pretty sure that more people die each year from drinking water than from smoking pot)
Miley also doesn"t show her breasts anymore. While this is all her choice to make, it seems to some people that she sampled what she perceived to be black culture, tried to use it for her brand for a few years, and then got bored and decided to just be a "southern gal" for a while.
We know that Miley didn"t do any of this maliciously, but a lot of people don"t love the way that she spent years being obnoxious in multiple ways, only to seemingly revert to how she was almost immediately post-Disney.
(There"s a middle ground!)
That said, though, this performance is absolutely lovely and powerful.
You might not think that Sir Elton"s voice would work so well with Miley"s. They have, well, some very different accents.
But their duet is beautiful and tasteful and really does justice to the song.
And since Elton John is retiring from music, he absolutely deserved this spot at the Grammy awards.

Jinger Duggar Sports Tight Pants, Continues to Stun Fans
Now that she’s married, Jinger has started wearing pants.
As scandals go that would normally fall somewhere between “she doesn’t cut her sandwishes diagonally,” and “she hangs the toilet paper so that it faces the wall.”
But Jinger is a Duggar, which means that prior to getting married, she was only permitted to wear skirts.
Her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, doesn’t share Jim Bob Duggar’s view that women’s jeans are stitched by the devil himself in the garment district of hell, so he bought his wife a pair of Levi’s shortly after their wedding.
Apparently it was like giving a house elf an article of clothing in the Harry Potter series, because Jinger is now a free woman.
Not only is she wearing pants these days, Jinger is wearing shorts!
Her legwear seems to be getting tighter with time, and as you can see in the pic above, she’s not shy about showijg off her new fashion sense on social media.
The photo probably had her father rounding up a pitchfork posse, but thus far, it seems fans are loving it.
“Such a cute couple! Jinger needs to get into the fashion business!” wrote one fan.
“Jill probably needed to be escorted to the fainting couch when she saw this outfit,” joked another.
Interestingly, Jinger has yet to comment on her decision to begin sporting less formal attire.
And she has yet to sport her pants on the family’s reality show, which is proably no coincidence.
Creepily, Jinger’s legs at currently in the middle of a power struggle between her husband and her father.
Jinger wears pants because Vuolo says she can, and while Jim Bob can’t contest the decision, he reportedly doesn’t like it.
Sources say he’s strongly encouraged Jinger to not wear pants in his presence or on television.
You’d think JB would have something bigger to worry about than what sort of clothing his adult daughter is wearing.
Maybe he should spend more time concerned about his child molester son who’s a free man with children of his own.
Just sayin’,
Watch Counting On online for more out-of-whack priorities.
