Hilary Duff's Naked Magazine Cover Is Not Here to Empower Us

On the show today... In a very rare interview about her personal life, Michelle Williams has confirmed she is pregnant with her third child and finally revealed her second child's name, but there's a reason why she's kept her personal life out of the spotlight for so long. Plus, Grey's Anatomy star Jesse Williams has gone viral after a video of his full-frontal nudity in his new Broadway show Take Me Out started circulating on Twitter. But before you start searching for the images, you need to know the full story behind how they were released. And Hilary Duff is on the cover of the latest issue of Women's Health, naked on both the cover and in the accompanying photospread. In the magazine profile, the actress explains why she chose to do the cover, how she prepared for it, her past struggles with eating disorders, and the pressure of her new TV role. The photos have been promoted as a stance on empowerment, but the harsh reality is that this magazine cover is not here to help us.
