Not so fast, POTUS!
Billy Bush has confirmed that Donald Trump really did say "grab them by the p*ssy" in that now infamous Access Hollywood tape released during the campaign, after the President tried to say he didn't utter the phrase, and the audio must have been manipulated in some way.
"Of course he said it. And we laughed along, without a single doubt that this was hypothetical hot air from America’s highest-rated bloviator," Bush wrote in a New York Times op-ed.
"This country is currently trying to reconcile itself to years of power abuse and sexual misconduct. Its leader is wantonly poking the bear. To these women: I will never know the fear you felt or the frustration of being summarily dismissed and called a liar, but I do know a lot about the anguish of being inexorably linked to Donald Trump. You have my respect and admiration. You are culture warriors at the forefront of necessary change," he added.
Now, the Commander-in-Chief is trying to deny his denials!
"The president hasn't changed his position. The president addressed this, this was litigated and certainly answered during the election by the overwhelming support for the President and the fact he's sitting here in the Oval Office today,' White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said during a press conference.
What's shocking is that Billy Bush got fired over this, and Trump went on to win the election!

Only the K clan want to build this kinda hype!
Kim Kardashian has been slowly unveiling the annual family Christmas card, and it seems as if she's planning to release it image-by-image like an advent calendar. So far, she's shared a pic of daughter North dressed in a white tank top and jeans starring up at her, nephew Reign standing shirtless with his hair in his face, and son Saint surrounded by boxes and an undecorated tree.
We still have so many questions, though! Will Kylie and Khloe's baby daddies Travis Scott and Tristan Thompson make the cut? Will we see the reality star sisters' baby bumps finally? What about Rob? Will he come out of hiding to mark the special occasion with daughter Dream?
We doubt that Kris Jenner is going to unveil her daughters' pregnancies in a way that makes her no money, but we guess we'll have to wait and see!

Yep; that's what a pregnant supermodel looks like -- a glowing beauty! Miranda Kerr visited the Santa Monica Sephora store for a meet-and-great to promote her Kora line of natural beauty products. And, well, speaking of natural beauty!
The former Victoria's Secret model, 34, and hubby Snapchat billionaire Evan Spiegel, 27, are expecting their first child together -- Miranda's second along with Flynn, 6, with ex Orlando Bloom. Kerr and Spiegel were married at their Brentwood home in May and Miranda is reportedly about five months along with her due date being in early April.

We're not quite sure where Justin Bieber gets his good looks and swaggy style ... Well he DID have a swagga coach.
But Saturday in Beverly Hills he had a little style help from his pal Kanye West in the form of some brand new Frozen Yellow Yeezy 250 V2s. The most sought-after shoe (this week, anyway) is visible even from a block away with its neon yellow/zebra striped colorway.
We spotted Biebs in the new kicks after he finished a workout with his dad at a Beverly Hills gym. Jeremy wore his usual ripped denim cut-offs and beanie as he happily jumped behind the wheel of Justin's white Mercedes G-Wagon. Awww, some father-son time just before the holidays. Sweet!

Balls were jingling! At the annual iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in LA, some of the biggest names in music serenaded the crowd into the holiday spirit, despite the super-warm temperatures Cali!
Kesha, Demi Lovato, Sam Smith and more took to the stage for one of our favorite events of the year -- and TSwiz was there, too, folks. In fact, we caught her mom getting left behind by a chauffeured SUV -- dude had to throw it in reverse to go back and pick her up! Wonder if Taylor Swift was in there yelling at the driver!
Master of ceremonies Ryan Seacrest was being chauffeured as well, but in a golf cart. He had to work -- no time to relax for Ryan! The hardest-working-man-in-showbiz was recently accused of sexual harassment by a former employee but the accusation hasn't brought him down ... particularly when reports emerged that his accuser had tried to sue for millions before she came forward with her story. Hmmm ...
Meanwhile, we caught up with Kesha after the big event, hopping a plan out of LA, when we were able to congratulate her on her Emmy nomination ... I mean her Grammy nom -- watch!

They give new meaning to the term friendly exes, and that's saying something considering what's gone on!
Ben Affleck and Jen Garner bundled up for a morning stroll around their Brentwood neighborhood today, and we still can't believe the mother-of-three is so cool with her former spouse, given that he had an affair and left her for mistress Lindsay Shookus. The two recently spent Thanskgiving together with their kids, and rumor has it that caused a bit of a problem in the Batman star's new relationship.
What's the issue, you ask? Apparently, the SNL producer is getting the feeling that she's always going to play second fiddle to her beau's actress ex.
"[Ben would] dump her immediately [for Jen.] She thought Ben was over Jennifer, because he truly convinced her that was the case. Now she’s telling friends that she knows ‘his heart isn’t with me,’†a source dished to In Touch about Shookus.
"Jen was so unbelievably supportive of Ben with his sobriety struggles. That has only made Ben love her more. He has told friends that the biggest heartbreak of his life was losing Jen as his wife," the source added.
Perhaps Jen could extend her good influence on him even more and get him to quit smoking? The Oscar winner has been vaping in the last month or two in an attempt to quit the cancer sticks, but we caught him puffing away yesterday afternoon after a therapy session. What a nasty habit!

She shouldn't have touched this one.
Pamela Anderson is getting a lot of backlash over her comments about Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment scandal, which she made during an appearance on Megyn Kelly Today, but she stands by what she said!
A lot of people think she was "victim blaming" by insinuating that his accusers should never met with him privately in the first place.
"When I came to Hollywood, of course I had a lot of offers to do private auditions and things that made absolutely no sense. [It’s] just common sense: Don’t go into a hotel room alone. If someone answers the door in a bathrobe, leave. These [are] things that are common sense. … It was common knowledge that certain producers or certain people in Hollywood are people to avoid, privately. You know what you’re getting into if you’re going into a hotel room alone," she said during the sit-down.
Instead, the actress said the women should have brought along their assistants for protection. “I just think there’s easy ways to remedy that. That’s not a good excuse," she added.
She heard the criticism, and responded to it in a lengthy Instagram post. Here's what she wrote:
Re- My interview on #todayshow #megynkelly. Somebody had to say this. Please don’t worry. Refer people to my blog and long standing commitment to defending the vulnerable. We have the power to be safe and free by using common sense. My message is consistent throughout- I'm a deep thinker / I have a unique perspective. and consequence is part of my life. This is great. I am also an advocate for men. I just don't agree with it all. Backlash is good. - I like this. My position is not 'problematic' because I doesn't fall in line with the common herd or trend. I'm trying to tell women as a survivor of childhood abuse myself - It is important to be proactive as an adult who knows better - in defending themselves. Don't get in cars with strangers #rideresponsibly- Don't go to Hotel rooms alone for an audition. Women are powerful and smart and we can use all our charms in more positive ways. I think it’s very smart to be proactive. And I stand by what I say. My mother taught me - protect yourself. Especially with my ‘image’’ - she and I were worried it could give people wrong Impression. I am not an easy girl and have not had as many partners people might think. I believe in love and commitment and common sense. This is why I'm usually married. It is how I feel safe and protected in a sexual relationship. .A monogamous lover is the best and most brave lover there is. I only want intimate sexual experiences - where I can be free to give my wildest fantasies to someone who loves me and never have used sex as a weapon. It's just too easy. #bestrong #staysafe #noblame @todayshow #solutions #nodrama."
We think everyone is overreacting, she was allowed to give her opinion!

She seems like an old pro!
Prince Harry and fiancee Meghan Markle made their first joint royal appearance today at the Terrence Higgins Trust World AIDS Day charity fair in Nottingham, and the soon-to-be Duchess was a total natural as she worked the crowd and chatted with people that had waited hours to get their first glimpse of her.
The former Suits actress is already making a name for herself as a global fashion icon, and she looked effortlessly stunning in a navy Mackage coat, a tan Joseph midi skirt, Kurt Geiger boots and a Wolford turtleneck. How cute is it that she and her man color coordinated their outfits?!
Proving that they're modernizing the monarchy, the couple held hands and were very affectionate, which we never see from William and Kate.
