Miss May 2014: Dani Mathers

LOS ANGELES (KABC) --

Playboy model Dani Mathers faced backlash after she secretly took a photo of a n***d woman in a Los Angeles gym locker room and posted it to SnapChat.

The 2015 Playboy Playmate of the Year posted the picture to SnapChat with the caption, "If I can"t unsee this then you can"t either."

The posted triggered an instant uproar, calling out Mathers for body shaming the woman.

Mathers, 29, reportedly took the n**e woman"s picture without her knowledge at an L.A. Fitness in Los Angeles.

L.A. Fitness would not comment on the matter when reached out to by ABC7.

The Los Angeles Police Department told ABC7 on Thursday they had no record of the incident being reported.

In another SnapChat post, Mathers apologized for the picture.

"I just wanted to acknowledge a photo I accidentally posted here on SnapChat earlier today and let you know guys know that was absolutely wrong and not what I meant to do," Mathers said.

Mathers claimed she meant to send the picture to just one friend, but accidentally posted it for all her followers on SnapChat to see.

She has since deleted the picture, and set most of her social media accounts to private.

Kristen Wiig Proves Once Again She"s a Comedy Genius With a Fake Fallon Interview


Kristen Wiig Hilariously Impersonates Bachelorette JoJo & Reveals Fantasy Suite Secrets

Remember Garth and Kat? On Saturday Night Live"s Weekend Update, Garth and Kat were a recurring musical duo played by Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig who insisted they wrote songsbut actually made them up on the spot. The impressive, and funny, thing about the sketch was that they were kind of convincing in singing improvised lyrics and melodies in unison. If you watch those sketches closely, Armisen is typically the one leading the songs, making Wiig scramble to try to guess what he"s saying fast enough to say it in unison. Hers is the hardest part of the bit. Imagine how fast she needs to think to make this even half convincing and funny?

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

That"s what made her the finest Saturday Night Live star of the 2000s. And though she"s moved on to bigger and better things, like major Hollywood pictures, she still brings out that incredible improv-trained timing all the time. Like when she makes an appearance on The Tonight Show. Last year, she showed up to talk to Jimmy Fallon in character as Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. A few months ago, she was Peyton Manning.

Of course, she doesn"t know a thing about Game of Thrones or football, so Fallon prompts her with interview questions which she makes up on the spot.

Last nightwhile supporting her new Ghostbusters movieshe arrived for an interview with Fallon in character as JoJo from The Bachelorette. Notice how quick she makes up stupid names for the hunks on the show. How she coyly gives bullshit, hilarious answers the softball questions. Then, she sings a song. The whole thing lasts 10 minutes. Wiig is a genius.

Beyonc, Chance the Rapper and Rihanna list ordinary actions that have gotten black Americans killed


FUNNY: Stephen Curry dances with Chance the Rapper | ESPYS 2016

Alicia Keys and the We Are Here movement gathered a crew of celebrities including Pharrell, Queen Latifah and Kevin Hart for a video released today that recites everyday activities that 23 victims of police shootings were doing before their deaths.

Journalist Jamilah King wrote the article that inspired the video collaboration with Mic, "23 Everyday Actions Punishable by Death if You"re Black in America," following the fatal police shooting of Philando Castile on July 6.

"I did this to prove a point: There is a tax on black life in America, and we are better than this," King wrote.

The video shows haunting black and white footage of each entertainer, followed by a still image of those who have lost their lives. Beyonc speaks about Philando Castile riding in his girlfriend"s car. Pink references Eric Garner selling cigarettes. Talib Kweli refers to Oscar Grant III riding a commuter train. To see a full list of artists in protest, you can visit We Are Here.

"We demand radical transformation to heal the long history of systemic racism so that all Americans have the equal right to live and pursue happiness," Keys says toward the end of the video, calling on viewers to sign a petition urging President Obama and Congress to enact change.

"It"s moving to see that celebrities have taken charge of telling this story," King wrote in response to the collaboration. "What we"re seeing now are black entertainers singers, actors, athletes and artists who are deeply in tune with what"s happening in the United States speaking out, taking action."

The new, mini NES Classic Edition includes games not on Wii U Virtual Console


NEW Nintendo NES Classic Edition System?!

Nintendos re-releasing its very first console, the Nintendo Entertainment System, in pint-sized form.The NES Classic Edition hits retail Nov. 11 for $59.99, packing in 30 retro favorites some of which arent currently available on Wii U, Nintendos most current system.

Wii U Virtual Console NES games typically cost $4.99 each. If you were to buy all the games included in the NES Classic Edition, it would cost you almost $150, so the NES Classic Edition could save you up to $89.71.

Weve got a rundown of the NES games you can replay on your HD television exclusively with the help of the adorable Classic Edition; none of them are currently sold on Wii U Virtual Console. Some of these may be offered on Wii or Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, however; well note that if so. While Wii Virtual Console games can be bought on Wii U, they"re typically slower, less crisp and only accessible through the system"s Wii menu.

  • Bubble Bobble (available on Wii)
  • Double Dragon 2: The Revenge (available on Wii and 3DS)
  • Final Fantasy (available on Wii)
  • Ice Climber (available on Wii and 3DS)
  • Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (available on Wii and 3DS)
  • Tecmo Bowl (available on Wii and 3DS)

The Nintendo eShop updates weekly, meaning many of these games may come to Wii U Virtual Console before the NES Classic Edition"s November launch. For now, though, the tiny console sounds like a good deal.

Clarification: These games aren"t currently available on the Wii U Virtual Console stateside, but may be sold on that of other regions.
