Saints and Sinners Strip Club Rumor Isn't Not Funny

Why does everybody keep hatin' on C-Tates with these stripper lies? Apparently, Sharon Osbourne and the cast of her daytime gossip show, The Talk, burned Tatum Skinz on Friday, telling their audience of housewives, unemployed stoners, and kids with chickenpox that "Magic Mike star, Channing Tatum, could be making stripper restaurants a reality." Oh hells no.

To make matters worse, this percolatin' LIE coincided with the restaurant's job interviews at Royal Blend Coffee House. According to the Saints and Sinners Facebook page, there will be another call for non-stripper job applicants soon, and they're in desperate need of line cooks and fryers who have experience using vats of silky hot oils for cooking purposes only.

C-Tates' crew reached the shirtless dance-off level of smackdowns Friday afternoon, addressing their sexy sumptuousness via Facebook: "To clear up the rumors, we are not a strip club. We are a historical Storyville Themed Restaurant/Bar located on Bourbon Street." Again, Channing Tatum's Saints and Sinners is a historical landmark, not a strip club.
