Target Your Abs, Arms, Legs, and Butt With Ashley Graham's 5-Day Fitness Challenge
Five days, five workouts, all less than 10 minutes long: all we can say is thank you, Ashley Graham, for an A+ fitness challenge! The supermodel released a 10-minutes-a-day plan as a part of her YouTube series, "Thank Bod," which is all about getting strong and creating an accessible fitness routine, no matter where you are in your journey. And Graham, who's seven months postpartum, isn't just sharing the workouts - she's doing each one with us, filming from her garage at her family home in Nebraska.
Ahead, check out each of the five at-home workouts, created by Graham's trainer Kira Stokes, NASM. The circuits target abs, arms, lower body, and full body, and don't require any dumbbells, kettlebells, or machines. (Booty bands are optional in the last workout if you want a little more resistance.) The workouts are great, Graham's personality and humor are on full display, and we're sweating just watching. Throw on your workout clothes and let's get to work!

We admire how supportive Alexander Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are for each other. The former baseball player showed some love to his fiancé yesterday by trying out J Lo's Pa'Ti dance challenge that's trending on Instagram and TikTok.

"This is how excited I am about game 7!!! How'd I do, @jlo ? #PaTiChallenge," Rodriguez captioned a TikTok video reposted to his Instagram of himself and elder daughter Natasha doing JLo's dance challenge. "I love when you dance 🤗😘😂," Lopez replied. Throughout the video Natasha is trying to focus on getting the moves right, while Rodriguez - in typical dad behaviour - continuously makes goofy faces.

Unsolved Mysteries: 47 Years Later, Lester Eubanks Is Still on the Run
Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries reboot is returning for volume two on Oct. 19, and episode three sheds light on the case of Lester Eubanks, one of America's most wanted fugitives. In December 1973, the Ohio Department of Corrections took Eubanks - who was serving a life sentence for the 1965 murder and attempted rape of 14-year-old Mary Ellen Deener - and other inmates to a local mall to do some Christmas shopping as a reward for good behavior. Eubanks used the opportunity to escape and has been on the run since.
In September 1994, after police featured Eubanks's case on America's Most Wanted, authorities got a tip that he had been living in Los Angeles with his cousin's widow, Kay Banks. Detectives then paid Banks a visit, and she confessed that Eubanks had initially been living in Michigan before he eventually made his way to the Los Angeles area, where he went by the name Victor Young and worked in the city of Gardena. However, Eubanks ended up moving out a while later when Banks lied and told him that the FBI had called her asking about his whereabouts.
So, where is Eubanks now? Nobody knows. It's believed that Eubanks was in contact with his father, Mose, who lived in Mansfield, OH, during the summer of 2003, but authorities were never able to confirm that. He has friends and family across the United States, including in Michigan, Florida, Texas, Alabama, California, and Washington.
Eubanks was included in the 2018 US Marshals 15 Most Wanted List, and in November 2019, authorities seemed to have a break in the case when a man came forward claiming he believed his late mother had been raped by Eubanks, leading to his birth. The man, who chose to remain anonymous, provided his DNA in hopes of helping to bring Eubanks to justice. However, FBI policies prohibit the use of a relative's DNA in a search of the organization's DNA database, prompting legal hurdles for using the man's DNA to catch Eubanks. To this day, Eubanks's whereabouts are still unknown, and the US Marshals are offering a $25,000 reward for any information that leads to his arrest.

Unsolved Mysteries: What Happened to JoAnn Romain? Here Are 4 Theories
Image Source: Netflix
The fifth episode of the second volume of Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries reboot dives deep into the disturbing death of 55-year-old JoAnn Romain. JoAnn disappeared in 2010 after her car was found outside of St. Paul Catholic Church in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI. Authorities quickly jumped to the conclusion that JoAnn had died by suicide after she walked into a freezing lake nearby and drowned herself. However, her body was not recovered during the initial search.
Over two months later, JoAnn's body was discovered in the Detroit River, 35 miles from where she had disappeared. Her clothing, jewelry, and shoes were all still intact and her car keys were found inside her coat pocket, but her rosary and cell phone were both missing. She also had two bruises on her left arm, which could've been the result of an assault, as the purse found in her car was torn.
So, what happened to JoAnn? It's been a decade since her passing, but her case still remains unsolved. Ahead, read four theories about who could have been behind her death.
Theory 1: JoAnn Romain Died by Suicide
Police claim JoAnn's death was a suicide by drowning, but it's very unlikely that her body would have left the shallow water along the shore and traveled to the Detroit River because there was no current. Authorities also had divers searching the water for several days, and they never found any evidence indicating that JoAnn had drowned. Not to mention, JoAnn fueled her car prior to attending church, and as investigative reporter Scott Lewis put it: "Who fills their gas tank on their way to commit suicide?"
Theory 2: David Romain Killed His Ex-Wife, JoAnn
JoAnn's daughter, Michelle, listed her father, David, as a potential suspect. He and JoAnn were married for 25 years, but they separated shortly before her death because JoAnn got fed up with arguing all the time and wanted to live a "peaceful, happy life." According to Michelle, David was really angry that JoAnn left him, which could have been a possible motive for him to kill her.
Theory 3: Someone Connected to John Matouk Murdered JoAnn Romain
Michelle posited that her uncle, John - JoAnn's brother - might have had a role in JoAnn's death. Even though she doesn't believe he personally did anything to hurt his sister, John owed a lot of money to several people, so Michelle suggested that her mom's demise could have been revenge as JoAnn and John were close. John has maintained that he had nothing to do with JoAnn's death. However, he said it's possible that someone he knew could have murdered his sister.
Theory 4: Tim Matouk Murdered JoAnn Romain
Michelle's primary suspect is JoAnn's estranged cousin, Tim, who was a police officer at the time. Michelle accused Grosse Pointe Police of covering up for him after a witness claimed he saw JoAnn with Tim and another man by the lake on the night she disappeared.
"My mom had stated her extreme fear and concern for him before this occurred," Michelle told CBS News Detroit in 2018. "She also had indicated that she was reluctant to go to the local police because they were friends with this estranged family member that was a police officer, and they would not do anything to help her."
Grosse Pointe Police filed a motion for the lawsuit's dismissal, and in August 2019, a federal appeals court unanimously ruled in favor of the city and its police department.
Season 2 of The Vow Is Coming in 2021, and Here's What It'll Be About
HBO's The Vow is returning for a second season, but you'll have to wait until 2021 to get the next installment. On Oct. 16, filmmakers Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer confirmed the news after Noujaim previously teased the possibility to Variety, saying, "We reached out to everybody involved - many people, on all sides of the story - and we are continuing to film."
The second season will be titled The Vow Part Two and will center around NXIVM founder Keith Raniere's federal trial. Raniere was arrested back in March 2018 on several charges, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and forced labor conspiracy, and in June 2019, he was convicted. He is set to be sentenced this fall. Several other members associated with NXIVM - including Allison Mack, cofounder Nancy Salzman, and financial backer Clare Bronfman - have also been indicted. Mack pled guilty to racketeering charges in April 2019 and is still awaiting sentencing.
According to HBO, part two of The Vow will follow the "legal and emotional journeys of the group's founders, supporters and defectors" and it promises to uncover "new evidence and stunning revelations." The season one finale of The Vow premieres this Sunday on HBO.
India Oxenberg Is in Love and Engaged to Chef Patrick D'Ignazio After Leaving NXIVM
Viewers got a glimpse into the disturbing world of NXIVM through HBO's The Vow, and now, Starz is giving us another look with its latest docuseries, Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult. The four-part show premieres on Oct. 18 and will chronicle former member India Oxenberg's harrowing journey. India - who is the daughter of Hollywood actress Catherine Oxenberg and a descendant of European royalty - became involved with NXIVM in 2011, but after years of mistreatment, she left following founder Keith Raniere's arrest.
Since then, India appears to be living a low-key life and she even got engaged in October 2019 to chef Patrick D'Ignazio. Not much is known about their relationship, but judging from her Instagram, they seem to really enjoy traveling together. See more photos of India and Patrick ahead.

People Think Meghan Markle Is Wearing Princess Diana's Watch in New Portrait With Prince Harry
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are all smiles in their first official portrait since stepping back from their royal duties earlier this year. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear as the perfect balance of relaxed and professional in their newly released snapshot, and fans quickly started speculating that the photo includes a special nod to Princess Diana. Look closely and you'll see Meghan wearing a Cartier Tank Française watch and a Cartier Love bracelet. Could that be Princess Diana's watch? People sure seem to think so.
It turns out, Meghan and the late royal actually share a love of this timepiece. Long before Meghan and Harry tied the knot, the duchess talked about purchasing a two-tone Cartier Tank Française watch for herself as a splurge when Suits was picked up for a third season. "I had it engraved on the back, 'To M.M. From M.M.' and I plan to give it to my daughter one day," she told Hello! in 2015. "That's what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them."
Meghan might be wearing her own watch in the portrait, or she could have been gifted Diana's. Her recent virtual appearances suggest she does own the exact piece, as the yellow-gold watch is in full view. It wouldn't be too surprising if Meghan received the accessory after marrying Harry, since she owns other jewelry from his mother's collection. The black and white portrait will leave you guessing, but we like to think it's a tribute to Diana, regardless.
Check out more images of Diana wearing her Cartier Tank Française watch, below.

The Bachelorette: We'd Like to Talk to Whoever Grossly Age-Shamed Clare in the Season Trailer
Season 16 of The Bachelorette has officially begun, and it's already providing Bachelor Nation with plenty of drama. We were anticipating shenanigans, thanks to the reports of Clare Crawley dropping out a mere 12 days into filming and Tayshia Adams stepping in to replace her as the lead, but a teaser for the upcoming weeks shows that Clare's time as the Bachelorette doesn't go down as gently into the night as one would have assumed.
The teaser is full of brief snippets of Clare and contestant Dale Moss's romance going into full bloom along with shots of the other suitors starting to realize that their chance at love with the 39-year-old hairstylist is going down the drain. But the juiciest moment - other than Chris Harrison delivering the most damning line to Clare, saying, "Congratulations, you've just blown up The Bachelorette" - happens around the 1:19 mark. Clare is seen visibly upset, and even though we don't see the kerfuffle that leads to her anger or who it's with, we do see her heatedly calling someone, "Sick! Sick! Sick!" Then, addressing the camera, she says, "I don't care what I've done. To sit there and say 'You're the oldest Bachelorette' guess what? I'm the oldest Bachelorette that's 39, that's standing here, that's single, because I didn't settle for men like that!"
Go ahead, girl, speak your truth! And we all know that age is nothing but a number (when we're talking about consenting adults), but it's obvious that whoever was mentioning Clare's age wasn't doing so as a compliment. At least, she definitely didn't take it that way. A few more scenes go by until we see the clip that's most likely connected to Clare's outrage, a man in a blue suit yelling, "I expected way more from the oldest Bachelorette." It doesn't take a lot of context clues to put those two reactions together.
Now, the big question we have is who was the guy bold enough to age-shame the woman he supposedly came on TV to find love with? We already know all the guys it couldn't be, so we're working with a finite list of possibilities. If we're going to judge by first impressions, we'd have to put our money on one particular suitor: Yosef Aborady.
The 30-year-old medical-device salesman from Daphne, Alabama already got a bit of a rocky start in the premiere of the season and reports say that his exit will be even more heated. Of course, it's all speculation so it could be any of the guys we've already grown to like, but we have a feeling we're right about this one. There's still plenty of Bachelorette to go before we find out the truth, though, so buckle up, folks, it's going to be a wild ride!

Kelly Rowland Wants Women to Stop "Shrinking" and Start Embracing Their Sexuality in Music
"Coffee and sex in the mornin'/ Breakfast in bed, got me moanin'," Kelly Rowland's sensual single "Coffee" begins. It's a morning sex anthem, an easygoing single packed with innuendos, a celebration of pleasure. Above all, it's empowering, and it's all too rare.
Rowland's track - which she released in April - dismisses the patriarchal idea that women should keep their physical desires private. A step further, her Instagram Live segment Coffee With Kelly created a space where women could talk honestly about sex. Her efforts are hopeful, and with "Coffee" garnering positive reception, I thought maybe society had progressed. Then, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion dropped "WAP," and I realized we are still far behind.
Rowland and I recently sat down to chat about her new JustFab collection, and I asked about the double standard female musicians face when singing about sex. Rowland's a veteran of the industry, responsible for some of the greatest tracks of the last three decades - many of which paint physical desires in a positive, empowering light. Her new track "Crazy" can be added to this list. How does Rowland feel when critics try to temper - or even actively fight against - women's sexuality in music, like we saw with "WAP"? To put it simply, if you come at her with this criticism, "I'm going to be rude about it."
Songs shrouded in subliminal messaging can skate under-the-radar, but more explicit lyrics from women lead to pearl-clutching and angry tweets. The president can say, "Grab them by the p*ssy," but god forbid women feel emboldened by their own bodies. Rowland doesn't have the patience for that hypocrisy. "I just feel like that time has come and now it's gone," she said, referring to the attempted censure of women, not only in music but in life. "You can see how it's trying to reflect itself, even in office. You know what I mean? Not wanting to get too political, but I just feel like now is a time where we shut them up."

"You have to call them out and let them see that we're not having a conversation as women. It has to be men," she continued. "Call they asses out because the truth is you can say whatever you want and express yourself however you want sexually."
"Women are in a place where we should not shrink for nobody. We don't shrink ourselves. We don't shrink each other."
For Rowland, the goal is taking back control. That's a narrative all-too-familiar to women. Taking control of our paychecks, our reproductive rights, our music, yes, even our sex. But often, it's behind closed doors or at solitary keyboards where this policing gets started - where women aren't invited into the very conversation that's about them. "There's always going to be this point of control in which somebody is going to try to target and say, 'Well, if she's doing too much here, then we have to shut her up here,'" Rowland explained.
But Rowland isn't one to dim herself for the comfort of others. "Women are in a place where we should not shrink for nobody, nobody. We don't shrink ourselves. We don't shrink each other," she shared. "When we put people in a position of responsibility, let's shrink their asses. Shrink them, shrink their opinion, shrink their thoughts - shrink those to where they become nothing, because that's just not fair. You should be whoever you want to be and express yourself however you feel. Period."
Kelly Rowland Wants Women to Stop "Shrinking" and Start Embracing Their Sexuality in Music
"Coffee and sex in the mornin'/ Breakfast in bed, got me moanin'," Kelly Rowland's sensual single "Coffee" begins. It's a morning sex anthem, an easygoing single packed with innuendos, a celebration of pleasure. Above all, it's empowering, and it's all too rare.
Rowland's track - which she released in April - dismisses the patriarchal idea that women should keep their physical desires private. A step further, her Instagram Live segment Coffee With Kelly created a space where women could talk honestly about sex. Her efforts are hopeful, and with "Coffee" garnering positive reception, I thought maybe society had progressed. Then, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion dropped "WAP," and I realized we are still far behind.
Rowland and I recently sat down to chat about her new JustFab collection, and I asked about the double standard female musicians face when singing about sex. Rowland's a veteran of the industry, responsible for some of the greatest tracks of the last three decades - many of which paint physical desires in a positive, empowering light. Her new track "Crazy" can be added to this list. How does Rowland feel when critics try to temper - or even actively fight against - women's sexuality in music, like we saw with "WAP"? To put it simply, if you come at her with this criticism, "I'm going to be rude about it."
Songs shrouded in subliminal messaging can skate under-the-radar, but more explicit lyrics from women lead to pearl-clutching and angry tweets. The president can say, "Grab them by the p*ssy," but god forbid women feel emboldened by their own bodies. Rowland doesn't have the patience for that hypocrisy. "I just feel like that time has come and now it's gone," she said, referring to the attempted censure of women, not only in music but in life. "You can see how it's trying to reflect itself, even in office. You know what I mean? Not wanting to get too political, but I just feel like now is a time where we shut them up."
