Billy Bush: Crying, Concerned Over His Future

Billy Bush has said he’s very sorry over remarks he made in a video that surfaced late last week.

Within hours of footage going viral that depicted him and Donald Trump making lewd, inappropriate comments about women, the Today Show co-host issued an apology.

Considering the gross way he egged on Trump when it came to sexual advances and sexual assault, it was really all Bush could say at the time.

“Obviously I’m embarrassed and ashamed,” Bush said in the Mea Culpa.

“It’s no excuse, but this happened eleven years ago – I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I’m very sorry.”

According to a new report, however, Bush may soon be really, truly, very sorry… on a professional level.

The anchor of the third hour of Today has been suspended by producers (Carson Daly will take over this week, starting on Tuesday morning) and insiders say Bush may never return to the program again.

Apparently he isn’t very well-liked or respected by colleagues, which comes as little surprise.

In the infamous video, Bush spots Days of Our Lives actress Arianne Zucker and remarks to Trump, who is scheduled to film a cameo opposite the start:

“Sheesh, your girl’s hot as sh-t. In the purple.”

Like a loser frat boy, he then added:

“Yes! The Donald has scored.”

How did Bush react behind the scenes when these words went viral, thanks to The Washington Post releasing a video of him and Trump talking, unaware that their microphones were on?

“Billy was devastated and crying when the leaked tape of him with Donald Trump in 2005 was first leaked to The Washington Post,” a source tells Us Weekly of the Today cohost’s delicate emotional state.

“He was crying that his career was over.”

It may very well be over.

Yes, this incident took place 11 years ago.

But The New York Post reports that “Billy was bragging about the tape to other NBC staff while in Rio” over the summer, adding:

“If he knew about the tape, and remembered the full extent of such an explosive conversation with a presidential candidate and didn’t disclose that to NBC News, that is a very, very serious problem.”

The newspaper says there’s a “morality clause” in Bush’s contract, meaning he could very easily (and legally) be fired.

Donald Trump: Caught Making VERY Lewd Comments

Not long after the video made its way online, Bush deleted his Twitter account and issued the apology we posted above.

But it isn’t enough for many people.

A petition is going around that calls for Bush to be fired.

And, really, how can he not be?

Does anyone tune in to the third hour of Today to see Billy Bush? Would ratings suffer if he were replaced by Daly on a permanent basis? Or Mario Lopez?

Or anyone who doesn’t think it’s hilarious when a billionaire talks about grabbing the pussy of women at his whim because he’s a “star” who can “do anything?”

Said Savannah Guthrie to open yesterday’s Today broadcast:

“We want to note one other thing. Pending further review of the matter, NBC News has suspended Billy Bush as the host of Today’s third hour for his role in that conversation with Donald Trump.”

If viewers are so down on Bush… and if Matt Lauer, Tamron Hall and Al Roker really dislike him as much as some reports claim they do… then the father of three may be crying many more tears over the following few days.

We think he’ll be out of a job.

10 Reasons Britney Spears Was Crying After the VMAs

Britney finally returned to the VMA stage on August 28, 2016. 

Her previous performance in 2007 was met with much criticism, as the star practically stumbled all around at the time.

Here is how Twitter responded to Britney"s performance and why she was likely soaked in tears afterward:

1. Beyonce, Get Off MY Stage

Britney was given a tough act to follow by performing after Beyonce. Talk about throwing someone to the wolves. Poor Britney.

Britney didnt want to go to a Beyonce concert. She wanted Beyonce to go to her one.

5. Ouff

Even Debra Messing weighed in on the performance.

6. An Ulterior Motive By MTV?

Zac Efron Mourns The Death Of His "Best Friend," Internet Can"t Stop Crying

Someone needs to find Zac Efron and hold him in their arms.

The Baywatch star let fans know on August 25th that he dog, Puppy had passed away.

“Through thick and thin you’ve always been my best friend. I’ll see you at the finish line, RIP Puppy Efron,” he wrote on Instagram next to a darling photo of Puppy licking his owner.

Efron also shared lyrics from Chance The Rapper’s song, “Finish Line/Drown:”

Felt hog tied ever since my dog died

He lived to 84, damn, that’s a long ride

I know he up there he just sit and he wait/

I’ll be racing up the stairs I’mma get to the gate singing

Efron announcement coincides with National Dog Day, which makes the Australian shepherd’s death even more poignant.

According to Us Weekly, Efron got Puppy on Christmas Day 2011, but only told fans about him in April 2012.

If it wasn’t possible to love Efron more, allow us to tell you about the time he ran out of his house to rescue a dog.

“I rescued a dog,” Efron told Buzzfeed once.

“He was a puppy and he got away. I just ran out in the yard to go save him, like in the street, in my underwear — I just woke up — and snagged him and was like, ‘No, don’t run away.’

“And I looked up and my neighbor and his whole family were like, ‘Morning!’ I was like, ‘Hey! This is awkward. You have a lot of kids."”

A few weeks ago, John Stamos also posted a beautiful tribute to his late dog.

“She was always there, especially in the dark times,” Stamos wrote of his gorgeous pup, Linka.

“Never judging. By my side. Only loyal.”

If you need me, I’ll be bawling my eyes out.

Donald Trump to Crying Baby: You"re Fired!!!

Donald Trump has already insulted Mexican people.

And women.

And Muslims.

And even the parents of a U.S. soldier who was killed in battle.

But we figured adorable, innocent, tiny human beings were off-limits.

We figured wrong.

During a speech in Ashburn, Virginia on Tuesday, August 2, Trump was talking about China and how it hordes America"s debt over us and how close he is to that country…

… when a baby started to cry in the audience.

At first, The Donald appeared to reply with kindness and understanding. And some creepiness.

He said he loved babies and that this one was "young and beautiful" and the mother could relax and sit down, it was all good.

But then Trump kept talking and the baby cried again and he took a different approach.

He told the baby and its mother to leave.

He couldn"t even believe that the woman did not understand his initial sarcasm.

Some people just don"t get it, he mumbled out loud.

The mother actually thought he didn"t mind that a baby was crying during his speech. Pishaw! Trump was flabbergasted.

Which at least means he now understands how sane people feel when they hear anyone on the planet think Donald Trump should be President of the United States.

Ready to see Trump actually put a baby in the corner?

Watch below to see how he reacts to this very rude and immature interruption:

Bobby Brown Breaks Down Crying Over Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina

Bobby Brown has had a, um, turbulent life.

Yeah, I think it"s fair to say that.

He"s been arrested a number of times, was accused of domestic abuse and had serious issues with addiction.

But the most tragic events of his life were undoubtedly the untimely loss of both his longtime love Whitney Houston and later the daughter they shared, Bobbi Kristina.

Brown is now opening up about his feelings on 20/20 in a candid interview with Robin Roberts.

In the clip below, an announcer dramatically teases, "For the first time, he opens up with what you haven"t yet heard… emotional, deeply private."

Brown addresses the bizarre coincidental manner in which both women died: drowning in a bathtub with drugs in their systems.

"The same thing that happened to my daughter is what happened to Whitney," Brown tells Roberts.

He also discusses the first time he "saw her do drugs," although we"re unsure if he"s talking about Houston or his daughter (guess we"ll have to watch to find out).

By the end of the clip, Brown has broken down into tears, an image you don"t see from the former bad boy often.

"My baby"s gone," he cries, getting emotional about Bobbi Kristina.

Brown penned a new memoir, Every Little Step, in which he discusses the death of his daughter.

In it, he speculates on a new theory about Bobbi Kristina"s death.

He wonders whether a car accident she was involved in days before she died may have contributed to her falling unconscious in the tub.

“We asked the doctors whether she could have suffered some type of brain trauma or hemorrhage that didn’t present itself until four days later, resulting in the bathtub incident," he writes. 

“But the doctors couldn’t really give us definitive answers.”

The 20/20 special with Bobby Brown airs Tuesday, June 7 on ABC.

 

Kailyn Lowry BREAKS DOWN Crying to Javi Marroquin on FaceTime!

When a spouse goes on a months-long military deployment overseas, it takes a toll on all parties.

Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin have been feeling the effects ever since he left on a tour with the U.S. Air Force in January.

While the couple have been at the center of divorce rumors over the past several weeks, a clip from the new Teen Mom 2 (likely filmed weeks ago) shows them interacting over FaceTime.

Kailyn is hanging out at home with her kids Isaac and Lincoln when Javi calls.

Lincoln says hello to his dad and shows him his ring pop and new haircut.

Kailyn then thanks Javi for sending flowers and treating her and her friends to dinner the night before.

“Well, I wanted to get flowers for everybody just because, you know, your friends also play a huge roll in our marriage, and how you deal with…"

"You?” Kail says with a laugh. “Just kidding!”

“…Me being gone,” Javi finishes. “So I just wanted to show them that I was appreciative of them too.”

But midway through the call, Javi becomes solemn, and Kail asks what"s wrong.

"This place is just draining," he admits. "You"re like in a f**king prison."

"What can we do to help you have better days? Is there anything that we can do?"

"There"s nothing, it"s just sad," replies Javi. "It"s just sad, it"s the same thing every day."

Kailyn lets him know it"s difficult to have conversations and says she doesn"t know what she can do to help him except reassure him that they will get through it.

"Just don"t let it f**k with your head," she tells him. "I feel like it"s messing with your head, you can"t let that happen."

"I can"t go anywhere," he laments. "I don"t have anything here. I have my room. I eat and I sleep to wake up again."

An exasperated Kailyn finally breaks down crying, covering her face with her hand.

Much has happened on social media since this interaction.

The couple unfollowed each other on Twitter after Javi seemingly bragged about sending a naughty pic to a female friend.

After that, Kailyn was spotted without her wedding ring at the MTV Movie Awards and reportedly hung out with her ex Jordan Wenner.

We also don"t know how Javi reacted to Kailyn"s turn in a video short, in which she flirts with two guys and winds up sleeping with one of them.

Taylor Swift: Crying After Flubbed Grammys Performance?

As expected, Taylor Swift had a big night at the 2016 Grammy Awards last night.

Taylor took home the night"s top prize with her win for Album of the Year, and she even snuck in a shot at Kanye West during her acceptance speech. 

Of course, the Grammys are all about the performances, and Taylor wowed the crowd with a rendition of her latest single, "Out of the Woods."

Unfortunately, the 26-year-old perfectionist wasn"t thrilled with her own vocals, and a crowd shot seems to have caught her commiserating with her squad after she left the stage.

Amateur lip-readers of the Internet claim that Taylor can be seen saying, "I missed that note" to the person sitting behind her.

Whatever the case, Ms. Swift is clearly upset about something, and she appears to be wiping away a tear at the beginning of the clip.

She"s certainly not angry about the rumors that Selena Gomez is hooking up with her brother, as SelGo lays her head in Taylor"s shoulder in an apparent attempt to console the Squad Leader. 

In any event, we"re sure Taylor"s 70 bajillion fans thought the performance was flawless. 

We guess when you reach that level of popularity, you"ve gotta criticize yourself, or no one will.
