Every weekend deserves a dose of beefcake and here you have the cast of Chippendales at the Rio in Las Vegas. The essence of Jersey Shore seems to go on forever, and Vinny Gaudagnino is enjoying every minute of his fame. Not only is he hosting the Chippendales show for five weeks, but he has a new reality series: Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D & Vinny where 20 girls compete for Vinny and Pauly’s attention.

We ran across this delightful photo of Chippendale’s dancers in the early 80’s at the Dangerous Minds website, and it reminded us that more than a few Hollywood men have graced those male stripper stages. (We frequented the West LA Chippendale’s back in the day because they were one of the few clubs open after hours until 4 AM.) The dancers were never really enticing –and this photo shows why. Of course, everyone knows Channing Tatum started out as a male stripper, but did you know that Chris Pratt and Mark Consuelos stripped onstage too? Also, Joey Lawrence, Ian Ziering, Mike “the situation” Sorrentino, and Tyson Beckford, too. Hopefully they had better haircuts than the guys above.
