Get Uncovered With SI Swimsuit Cover Model Ashley Graham Earlier this week, Joe Jonas" group DNCE debuted the new video for "Toothbrush," a jam about leaving that all-important self-care item at a lover"s house. Since its release, the video has been hailed as a win for body positivity and representation, thanks to a starring role for plus-size model Ashley Graham. And fans definitely agree.
In hazy light, Jonas and Graham cuddle, caress, make out, have a pillow fight, and generally give the impression that they"re getting it on. Miraculously, the song makes you think more about s*x than bad breath, despite its title and refrain.
Jonas told Glamour that casting the gorgeous Graham, who also appeared on a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover this year, was a no-brainer. "To be honest, we really only had one girl in mind," Jonas said. "I just find Ashley Graham so beautiful." Same, Joe.
And while YouTube can often be a platform for nasty misogynists to congregate case in point: the dislikes bestowed upon the new Ghostbusters trailer the comments section for "Toothbrush" has been wonderful, as fans explain how happy they are to see a woman with a body like Graham"s in this context.
Twitter users have also been (virtually) applauding.Hopefully the public"s embrace means more music videos will follow the lead set by "Toothbrush" and include a range of different body types.
Sara Ramirez singing "The Story" at the Grey"s Anatomy concert to benefit the Actors Fund
The actress and fan favorite said farewell to the Shondaland medical drama Thursday after 10 seasons.
ABC"s Grey"s Anatomy and primetime TV is losing a key character.
Star Sara Ramirez announced Thursday that she was exiting the Shondaland medical drama following a 10-season run as Dr. Callie Torres to take "some welcome time off." Her exit leaves both the Shondaland medical soap as well as primetime TV without one of its most influential characters, as Ramirez"s Callie has become an example of how to expertly portray both bisexuality and same-s*x relationships via the character"s romance with Arizona (Jessica Capshaw).
While Callie and Arizona split up in more recent seasons, the season 12 finale (which will stand as Ramirez"s final episode) seemed to leave the door open for the actress to return to reprise her role. (Executive producer Shonda Rhimes also noted that Ramirez would "always have a home at Shondaland.)
While Callie has certainly had her ups and downs (divorce, car crashes, losing loved ones), she"s been a pioneer for LGBT viewers across the globe, with Ramirez also serving as a champion for equality.
Here, THR takes a look at six of Ramirez"s most influential scenes as the beloved Callie Torres.
Callie and Arizona"s first kiss.
The kiss that launched "Calzona."
Callie and Arizona get married.
I"m not crying, you are.
Being so good that Erica Hahn "saw leaves"
While Callie may not have reacted well, there isn"t a member of the LGBT community who hasn"t experienced this same moment in their own lives.
The first time Arizona and Callie said I love you.
Simple. Perfect. Complete and total acceptance. This is how we"re remembering Callie and Arizona.
When Callie came out of her coma and Ramirez slayed Brandi Carlile"s "The Story."
OK, so the musical may not have been one of Grey"s Anatomy"s best episodes, but nobody can deny Ramirez"s pipes and her gutting performance here.
When Callie stands up to her father: "You can"t pray away the gay."
Preach.
These are just a few of our favorite scenes with Ramirez as Callie Torres. What are your favorite moments? Sound off in the comments, below.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Golden State Warriors - Game 2 - Full Highlights | 2016 NBA Playoffs
Getting the Golden State Warriors" full attention is the mother of all mixed blessings.
For betterandworse, the Oklahoma City Thunder have done it.
OKC"s truly impressive 108-102 Game 1 victorymarked by attentive defense, resiliency, shrewd lineup decisions and a Russell Westbrook explosionforced the Warriors to briefly consider their own mortality. That"s not something that happens often, but the prospect of an 0-2 series hole galvanized the Dubs, resulted in swift, thorough, terrible-to-behold retribution.
Golden State buried the Thunder in Game 2 by a final score of 118-91, running its record after losses to an unfathomable 12-0this season.
And there"s the root of what should be some seriously conflicted Oklahoma City emotions heading into Sunday"s Game 3 at home: The Warriors, with a 100 percent success rate, respond to defeats with overwhelming victories. And more broadly, the more severe the failure, the more focused and complete the subsequent triumph.
Let"s unpack this.
The Thunder have a lot to be happy about.
Their Game 1 effort proved the defense that defined an easy elimination of the San Antonio Spurs was real. Oklahoma City forced Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson into rushed second-half shots, switched liberally, produced turnovers and ultimately held the best offense in the league to 14 fourth-quarter points.
Though Game 2 played out differently, the Thunder must still be encouraged by the fact that they"re in good position despite not getting simultaneous strong performances from Westbrook and Kevin Durant. The former was terrific Monday but struggled Wednesday. The latter scored efficiently in Game 2 but turned the ball over far too often.
Westbrook and Durant are going to play well in the same game (for thewhole game) eventually; Golden State is like everyone else in this specific regard: It can"t keep both superstars under wraps for an entire series.
More granularly, Westbrook did well to stifle Curry in Game 1, hounding him off the ball (with help), denying touches and goading the MVP into too many one-on-one attacks.
These are all positives, and the most encouraging thing about Oklahoma City"s performance in the series" first game was its understated reaction to success.
"What"s to celebrate?" Durant rhetorically asked, per Ben Golliver of SI.com. "We didn"t win the championship. We"re playing in the Western Conference Finals against a great team...It was a good win for us, but we"re not going to be jumping up and down, chest-bumping on the court. We"ve got a lot more basketball to play."
See that? Perspective.
Similarly, there was no panic after Game 2.
"Move on," Durant said, per Royce Young of ESPN.com. "We just move past it and figure out what we have to do better. No crazy emotions."
The Thunder got their split in Oakland. Home-court advantage, for now, is theirs.
But they should be wary of awakening the Warriors with that series-opening win. All those good things they did to take a 1-0 lead pushed the Warriors to a point of focus (perhaps even desperation) they"ve rarely reached. Golden State got serious in Game 2, leveraged all of its talent, limited its spurts of inattention and tuned key strategic elements.
Steve Kerr always talks about appropriate fear, which makes the Warriors inappropriately good.
"Being down 1-0, we had that fear," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said, per Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle. We knew we needed a win badly, and we responded well. Now, weve got to go there and win a game."
The Warriors rendered Andre Roberson unplayable by doubling down on Draymond Green, leaving him to play free safety. Enes Kanter, after a solid second half in Game 1, was so relentlessly targeted in Game 2 that he may now occupy the same unusable category as Roberson. Gradually, Golden State is stripping away Oklahoma City"s options.
Salvation might have to come in the form of an all-out Westbrook inferno, but is it realistic to ask for his trademark maniacal aggression on offensewhile also expecting the perfect defensive focus necessary to keep Curry from shaking loose? Little in Westbrook"s history suggests he can do both for long stretches.
And Curry"s 15 points in under two minutes of Game 2"s third quarter proved the MVP needs only the briefest lapse to decide a contest.
The biggest concern for the Thunder incorporates all of the preceding worries and rolls them into one: Golden State made its adjustments after Game 1. It found ways to exploit the Thunder"s switches and devote more of its own defensive attention to Durant and Westbrook.
Oklahoma City must now make adjustments to counterthose adjustments, and that"s something no opponent has managed to do against these Warriors. Just ask the Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers, who pushed Golden State to make major strategic changes last year and then had absolutely no answer afterward.
Few teams even reach the point of forcing the Warriors to change. There"s a small victory in that for the Thunder, and this team"s ability to make Golden State work is yet another sign it may be the Warriors" most formidable opponent in the last two years.
Paradoxically, that"s the scariest aspect of all.
The Warriors can"t help but recognize the Thunder as the most serious obstacle they"ve faced, and as a result, they"re fully engaged in a way they rarely are. Golden State won 73 games with sporadic focus, and Oklahoma City did enough to sharpen that focus, to dial it all the way in.
The Thunder proved in Oakland they could beat the Warriors, that they could threaten them. But if this season showed anything, it"s this: You really,reallydon"t want to face the Dubs when they feel threatened.
WATCH KANYE WEST GO CRAZY ON ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW!!!
Kanye West is being sued over the Yeezus single "New Slaves." Hungarian composer Gabor Presser is claiming that he is owed money for a sample that was used at the end of the track, TMZ reports. Presser says that Kanye reached out for permission to use the sampleand that he agreed, but only on the condition that a formal deal would be arranged. According to documents obtained by TMZ, Kanye sent Presser a $10,000 advance, but the check was never cashed. Now, Presser is asking for at least $2.5 million.
This isn"t the first time Kanye has been sued over a Yeezus sample. Back in 2013,Ponderosa Twins Plus One singer Ricky Spicer said he wasn"t properly compensated for the sample used in "Bound 2." Earlier this year, Kanye and TIDAL were both sued by disgruntled fans who claimed they were deceived into signing up for the service. Kanye West"s album, The Life of Pablo,was initially pegged as a TIDAL exclusive, drawing subscribers, but was soon after released to outlets like Apple Music and Spotify.
