Fans question Ashley Graham Maxim cover
Plus-size model Ashley Graham is Maxim's cover girl for the first time in her career, but some fans are convinced her photos were edited to make her seem slimmer.

While both the curvaceous Graham and photographer Gilles Bensimon shared the magazine cover image on their respective Instagram accounts this week, the latter artist was the first to confront Photoshop claims as they came.

In response to a fan who said the cover is too edited, Bensimon claimed the image needed "(almost no photoshop) sorry to disappoint you."

"I shoot this image of Ashley, and we don't slimmer her at all!!! Sorry because you sound so convinced," the 72-year-old French photographer wrote to another online critic.

The image shows Graham practically naked save for a white dress shirt she holds in front of her body. The plus-size model stands in a pose which makes her shape less clear, prompting speculation from fans.

Graham, who told Maxim she is looking to build her own empire similar to Jessica Alba, Tyra Banks and other female celebrities-turned-moguls, also shared images from the magazine shoot. She uploaded not only the cover image, but also one where her breasts are covered by nothing but a married man's hands.

Another post shows Graham posing in a bathing suit from her Swimsuits For All collection, "to be launched in May," the model added.

"I wanted to try everything, I wanted to see what worked. I wasn't afraid. Now, I'm like, 'What were we thinking with these chicken outfits?' But now it's just like well, we tried it, and at least we know we liked it or we didn't."

Wentworth Miller slams viral meme, discusses 'lowest point' during depression
Wentworth Miller was the subject of a viral meme recently and took to social media in order to confront it head on.

The meme posted by online community LAD Bible on Facebook features the actor from 2010 when he was battling depression and had gained a significant amount of weight after starring in the hit television drama, Prison Break.

"When you break out of prison and find out about McDonald's monopoly..." the post reads comparing Miller's slim figure from the show to his heavier self. Some fans saw the photo as an act of fat-shamming while Miller turned things around by attacking the meme and using the opportunity to discuss his past struggles with food, depression and suicide.

"Today I found myself the subject of an Internet meme. Not for the first time. This one, however, stands out from the rest," the Legends of Tomorrow star wrote on Facebook Monday alongside the meme. "I've struggled with depression since childhood. It's a battle that's cost me time, opportunities, relationships, and a thousand sleepless nights. In 2010, at the lowest point in my adult life, I was looking everywhere for relief/comfort/distraction. And I turned to food. It could have been anything. Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. But eating became the one thing I could look forward to."

After revealing how the unflattering photo was taken by paparazzi, Miller described how he survived the unwanted attention and how he battled his depression. "I survived. ... Now, when I see that image of me in my red t-shirt, a rare smile on my face, I am reminded of my struggle," he cotinued. "My endurance and my perseverance in the face of all kinds of demons. Some within. Some without. Like a dandelion up through the pavement, I persist."

"The first time I saw this meme pop up in my social media feed, I have to admit, it hurt to breathe. But as with everything in life, I get to assign meaning. And the meaning I assign to this/my image is Strength. Healing. Forgiveness," he concluded before urging his fans that are struggling with the same issues or who know someone who is to reach out for help.

Back in January, Fox announced that Prison Break would return in 2016 and reunite stars Miller and his co-star Dominic Purcell.

Which rockstar danced with his 90-year old mom at N.Y. concert?

Bruce Springsteen left the stage at his Madison Square Garden concert Monday night to dance with his 90-year-old mom, Adele.

Springsteen and the E Street Band were making up a show that had been canceled earlier due to a winter storm.

During the song "Ramrod," Springsteen left the stage for a quick dance with his mother as the crowd cheered. They ended with a coordinated booty shake.

Adele Springsteen often attends her son's concerts in the vicinity of their New Jersey hometown. She has danced with him onstage in the past. She joined him in July 2013 in London for "Dancing in the Dark."
