Jenna Dewan gets steamy in a new Lifetime movie.
, Dewan plays a fitness instructor who moves into a small town to open a pole dancing business -- which doubles as a prostitution ring. “I’m obsessed with them,” she told ET’s Deidre Behar at the Variety Power of Women event in Los Angeles on Wednesday. “I think they are the two most perfect humans. They have the most perfect family.”
Ripa and Consuelos' son, Michael, is in the film, and that gave Dewan a chance to quiz the 25-year-old on his life -- so she could take note for raising her two children. “He’s so good. He’s so funny,” she said about working with Michael. “And in between breaks, I’d go ‘OK, so what was it like? What happened when you were five?’ I was just quizzing him 'cause I was like, ‘You are the best human. How did this go so right?' I wanna imitate it. It was great.”
As for seeing Dewan and Michael in any steamy scenes together in the film, she says you'll just have to wait and see. And while Dewan does have a professional dance background,“Intimidating and hard,” she said about her training for the film. “I learned it in two, three days. We do this thing where you dance your whole life, you go, 'Oh yeah, sure, I can learn that.’ It was so hard.” Dewan offered one more tease of the film, which she said challenged her.
“It is definitely racy,” she shared. “It calls to me as a woman and as an actress to really be challenged in certain ways. Certain judgments that you would have naturally, you're like, ‘Oh, I didn’t think of it that way.’ And its funny. Actually it has a funny, comedic, sassy energy.”

Kelly Ripa gets candid about long-standing Regis Philbin rumors in her first bookKelly Ripa says publishing her first book, Live Wire, is about 'correcting the record' — and she does so on topics including her complicated relationship with former co-host Regis Philbin, aging on camera and keeping the spark alive in her long-running marriage to Mark Consuelos. 'As women we are trained to not be disruptive in any way,' the Live with Kelly and Ryan host, 51, tells Yahoo Entertainment about her book of short stories. 'If a person says something and it's not true or inaccurate, we are trained to just take the high road, to never set the record straight no matter how detrimental it is to our own sanity, reputation, work life.' So Ripa approached her storytelling with 'the importance of correcting the record' in the more serious parts of the book. She says she 'felt that I owed it to myself ... to have an accurate representation of what actually occurred... What I just wanted to put out there was the truth.' While Ripa calls it 'a great privilege' to have worked alongside the TV icon Regis Philbin, who died in 2020, 'it was not an easy working relationship.' So in the book, 'I take the audience on a journey as to what it was like to be there, and how unfair it was for Regis first and foremost because ... it was his show and nobody should have a workmate forced upon them.' She continues, 'Most of this book took me maybe eight months to write — and the other year and a half was focused on those two chapters [about Regis] because it was hard,' she admits. 'That's why I don't let my words really speak for me. I let transcripted conversations speak for themselves because I don't wanna put words into people's mouths. I don't want things that weren't on record to be in the book. I want it to be read the way it was stated.'
