We lit a candle in thanks over Monday's news that Joe Manganiello had signed on the dotted line and would be stripping down once again as Big Dick Richie in the Magic Mike sequel.

Now it appears that our ritual sacrifices may have been in vain! Joe has personally debunked rumors that he's officially on board the sequel! Ay dios mio!

Check out his tweets to Perez Hilton last night!

@PerezHilton I'm not confirmed, there is no script or director... A bs press source called Enstars made this up... & Those aren't my quotes

Note to the producers behind the Magic Mike sequel: FIGURE. IT. OUT.

A Joe Manganiello that's willing to take it all off and shake it is not a Joe Manganiello to be wasted!!

Think it'll all come together, Instincters??
