So, about those 'Magic Mike' costumes...We're so happy to see that the stars of "Magic Mike" are having as much fun with the film's concept as the rest of us, particularly when it comes to their costumes - or lack thereof (we hope!). Word has it that Matthew McConaughey will be wearing a pair of pants that will give his backside plenty of um, breathing room, and while he wouldn't confirm to New York magazine's Vulture that the pants are indeed a**less, he did say that he created them. "I did design some special pants," the 42-year-old actor said, and his co-star Channing Tatum - who provides the basis for the male stripper movie, as he himself used to "dance" once upon a time - backs him up.

The Throwback: 'In Living Color' honored as 'groundbreaking'"In the early days, TV was in black and white," Whoopi Goldberg said as she presented the Groundbreaking Award to the cast of "In Living Color" at the TV Land Awards earlier this month. "But let's be honest," she went on. "It was really more white than black. But in 1990, a new show changed the face of television, not to mention comedy." Created by actor/writer Keenen Ivory Wayans, the sketch comedy series "In Living Color" ran on Fox from 1990-1994, and "brought a new multiculturalism to the primetime variety genre, which basically means there was nothing like it on television anywhere," continued Goldberg.
