Grey's Anatomy's Hot New Doc: Did Your First Impression Leave You Wanting Seconds?
No of us can say that the grown-ish vet didn't make a memorable first impression. In Season 21's penultimate episode, his on-screen counterpart ran into Simone at Joe's Bar right after her break-up with Lucas. Noting that she was dressed up — she'd been going to Jo and Link's wedding — the newbie remarked that he'd been told that Seattle was a jeans-and-T-shirt kinda town. When she explained that she'd had other plans, he replied, 'Then I'm sorry, but I'm not.'

We were charmed. But was she? 'You're doing the most right now,' Simone cracked.
'I don't think you hate it,' he replied, flashing a $1M smile. (See above.) Right he was, too, because the next thing we knew, the two of them were getting hot and also heavy. Not until Lucas had apologized to Simone and assured her that they could work through their issues did she — or we — spot Jackson among Grey Sloan's new crop of first-years.
'At least you know I'm good,' he joked.
As far as we can see, it's so far, so good for Jackson's as-yet-unnamed character. The actor has charm to spare, chemistry with leading lady Alexis Floyd and has given his alter ego a cocksure swagger that neatly straddles the line between confident and obnoxious. What's your take? Rate your first impression of Mc… Hmm. What should we call him? McHottie hasn't been used since Season 3, so maybe we could recycle it.

Tracce Ellis Ross jokingly calls out Barack Obama for 'failing her as a friend'
Durng her latest appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', Tracee Ellis Ross humorously scolded Barack Obama for not warning her about a doomed relationship. Tracee Ellis Ross didn't let a breakup slide—she called out her good friend, Barack Obama In a delightfully candid moment on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 14, 2025, Tracee Ellis Ross recounted a bite of self-awareness served with equal parts humor and friendship. Following a recent breakup, the actress—known for her introspective wit—ran into none other than former President Barack Obama. His remark? 'I could have told you that.' Ross's response? Quick and unapologetic: 'Well, you failed as a friend! Like, it was your job to say that before.' Friendship meets accountability Ross's playful rebuke reveals how she values honesty—even from friends as esteemed as the Obamas. She explained that she appreciates friends who 'nip it in the bud' when they see red flags in her relationships. That kind of truth-telling, she implies, is a real measure of friendship. Still their go-to for love advice? Rather than holding a grudge, Ross admitted that she still turns to Barack Obama for dating insight. In fact, she's even more aware now of one unclaimed advantage: she's never asked Michelle Obama to play matchmaker—something she laughs might be 'dumb,' but is now considering. Keeping It respectful—even in friendship Despite their closeness, Ross shared that she's maintained a kind of formal deference toward Michelle Obama—you know, 'Mrs. Obama.' This is a habit from how she was raised, and she's stuck with it, even after Michelle suggested she drop the formality. Dating dynamics and boundaries Ross's reflections add even more texture when seen alongside her past comments on love. On Michelle Obama's podcast IMO, Ross revealed her attraction to younger men—whom she finds more emotionally open. She explained that many men her age, raised in traditional structures, bring outdated ideas and dynamics into relationships that she's simply not interested in. A reality check—and an awesome bad date story As if to underscore the messiness of modern dating, Ross also shared a comically disastrous recent date: the guy plopped his phone up against his drink and spent the date watching a basketball game. Ross asked him, 'Who's playing?' He lifted a finger, as if to say, 'Don't let me miss it.' She quietly texted friends: 'This did not go well.' Yet, the guy still texts her—proof that not all bad dates are final. Solve the daily Crossword

Jake Paul vs. Gervonta 'Tank' Davis reportedly set for big-money Netflix exhibition match
Netflix may soon be hosting another major boxing event. The sports streaming service, which boasts 300 million subscribers and will televise the Sept. 13 battle of pound-for-pound greats between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Terence Crawford, began its boxing journey with Jake Paul's controversial fight with Mike Tyson this past November in Arlington, Texas, and now looks to play host to another contentious but money-spinning Paul showdown. Ring Magazine reported Wednesday that Paul will face Gervonta "Tank" Davis in a Netflix exhibition boxing match at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, on Nov. 15 — one year to the day from his bout with Tyson. The report follows a now-deleted post from the official Netflix Turkey account with the same details. Uncrowned has learned that the reported venue is currently booked for Nate Bargatze's "Big Dumb Eyes" tour on Nov. 15. Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) was in talks to face the former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua next, but the bout has reportedly collapsed due to network issues. The internet star turned boxer defeated his second former world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., in June by unanimous decision in California to earn his first world ranking. It was widely believed that Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) would rematch Lamont Roach on Aug. 16 after the pair fought to a controversial draw this past March, following Davis' infamous kneel-down controversy. The two-division champion, however, was forced to trade a fight date for a court date after being arrested for a misdemeanor battery-domestic violence charge in July, after his ex-girlfriend accused him of striking her on the back of her head and slapping her at an alleged altercation on June 15. The charge was dropped this past week after the alleged victim refused to prosecute. Roach told Boxing Scene — the media outlet owned by his co-promoter ProBoxTV — that he was "moving on" from a rematch with "Tank" on Friday, as he believed Davis' camp wasn't interested in an immediate rematch. Paul vs. Davis could be compelling viewing, as although Davis is vastly more experienced than Paul, he will likely enter the ring at a 50-pound-plus size disadvantage.
