The 'Revenge' Star

ABC’s addictive, soapy, sexy series “Revenge” returns tonight at 10/9c, and we're excited to see what our favorite villain Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) has in store for Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp) and the other residents of The Hamptons!

In honor of tonight's sure-to-be scandalous episode, here are five things you didn't know about Madeleine Stowe, the Latina star of ABC's "Revenge!"

1). She's Latina! While her father is British, Stowe tells UsMagazine.com that she's also "half Costa-Rican."

2). She's A Golden Globe Nominee: Although she's been acting for more than 30 years, Stowe received her first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series last year for her work as "The Queen of the Hamptons" (Victoria Grayson) on "Revenge."

3). She Gives Back: "I've been doing work with an organization that serves 900,000 people [called Artists for Peace and Justice]," Stowe told The Huffington Post in January. "We've built the first free secondary school in Haiti and we're going to have 3,000 pupils there. It's the vision of a doctor who is a complete bad-ass Catholic priest [The Rev. Richard "Rick" Frechette]. I'm very devoted to them and it's the part of my life that fulfills me," she said.

4). She Once Posed As A Reporter: According to WetPaint.com, before she became famous, Stowe pretended to be a reporter just so she could meet John Travolta. (Stowe starred opposite Travolta years later in the film "The General's Daughter" (1999).

5). Her Breakthrough Role: Stowe's breakthrough role was in the buddy comedy, "Stakeout" opposite Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez. After that, Stowe went on to star in "The Last Of the Mohicans" (1992), and "Short Cuts" (1993).

6). She's Not A Girly-Girl: Stowe recently told UsMagazine.com: "I hate girlie talk. If I hear someone whine about men, it'll drive me out into the open." She added: "I prefer the company of men to women."

Magic Mike Trailer: Channing Tatum Is a Stripper
With Big Dreams

If you fell in love with Channing Tatum's sweet dance moves in Step Up, then you're going to love the trailer for Magic Mike. Not only does Tatum showcase his skills once again, but this time he also takes his clothes off. Tatum plays the titular "Magic" Mike, a stripper with hoards of fans and enough $1 bills to make it rain on a regular basis. Though he's good-natured about his line of work, Mike dreams of getting out of the exotic-dancing game and into . . . making furniture.

Yes, the premise is silly, but that's part of the appeal of the Steven Soderbergh film: it doesn't take itself too seriously. Instead of seeing a Chippendales-style line of pretty boys (Alex Pettyfer, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer also star), the preview focuses more on Mike's romance with his friend's sister (Cody Horn). My only issue is that this carefree, Summer party movie feels a bit like a step back for Tatum, who's already had two No. 1 movies this year. Then again, a little mindless, shirtless fun never hurt anyone.

The film hits theaters on June 29, but watch the preview when you
