She can't stop -- and she won't stop -- showing off her gorgeous gams!
On Sunday Miley Cyrus grabbed juice in Malibu for herself and fiance Liam Hemsworth while he waited in the car. Not only was Miley dressed totally normal, but she wasn't wearing an ounce of makeup -- and she looked great!
We're not QUITE sure what's going on with the two as far as wedding plans, but they're clearly very happy together, and she's been wearing her engagement ring. We're thinking these two lovebirds are going to elope somewhere tropical this winter, but it's just a hunch...

Billy Bush has been suspended from the Today show. As you know, earlier this week a tape of Bush chatting with Donald Trump on a hot mic leaked, and the two exchanged a number of degrading and derogatory remarks about women.
In a note sent to show staffers, Us Weekly reports that Noah Oppenheim, the executive in charge of the NBC morning show, wrote, "I know we've all been deeply troubled by the revelations of the past 48 hours. Let me be clear — there is simply no excuse for Billy's language and behavior on that tape. NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter."
Bush was scheduled to resume his position as co-anchor on Monday morning, and a number of sources claimed he was set to issue another apology and talk about the incident in more detail. While Bush's remarks weren't nearly as offensive as Trump's, the fact that he played along with the star and seemingly encouraged the behavior is pretty bad.
"Sheesh, your girl's hot as sh*t," Bush said before the two met Days of Our Lives actress Arianne Zucker. "Yes! The Donald has scored." Bush asked Zucker to give the real estate mogul a hug, after Trump joked about popping Tic Tacs in case he was going to kiss her. "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful [women]—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet," Trump famously said. "Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."
"Obviously I'm embarrassed and ashamed," Bush said Friday night. "It's no excuse, but this happened 11 years ago — I was younger, less mature and acted foolishly in playing along. I'm very sorry."

Ugh, where do we even begin?
Tonight's presidential debate was held in at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and ABC News’ Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper served as co-moderators. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump didn't shake hands at the beginning and they butted heads a number of times, about the leaked tapes in which Trump makes a number of disgusting comments about women, foreign policy and the fact that Trump didn't pay taxes for a number of years.
While there were some ugly moments, the debate ended on a slightly nicer note. Participant Karl Becker asked what the two candidates admired about each other, and it drew some laughs from the crowd.
“Well, I certainly will [answer the question], because I think that’s a very fair and important question,†Clinton said. “Look I respect his children. His children are incredibly able and devoted and I think that says a lot about Donald. I don’t agree with nearly anything else he says or does, but I do respect that. And I think that is something that as a mother and a grandmother is very important to me.â€
“I consider her statement about my children to be a very nice compliment,†Trump replied. “I don’t know if it was meant to be a compliment, but I’m very proud of my children, and they’ve done a wonderful job and they’ve been wonderful, wonderful kids, so I consider that a compliment. I will say this about Hillary: She doesn’t quit. She doesn’t give up. I respect that. I tell it like it is. She’s a fighter, I disagree with much of what she’s fighting for, I do disagree with her judgment in many cases, but she does fight hard and she doesn’t quit and she doesn’t give up and I consider that to be a very good trait.â€
Meanwhile, celebs took to social media to share their thoughts, and they covered everything from the tapes to the fact that Trump was creepily hovering behind Clinton for most of the night:
In other news, Melania Trump reportedly refused to do a joint TV appearance with her husband after the tape leaked. A number of media outlets were trying to coordinate an interview with the two, and though negotiations for the interview were moving ahead without Melania, as soon as former Access Hollywood host Nancy O'Dell weighed in, they were quickly quashed. After bragging about how he tried to "f***" O'Dell, Trump famously went on to say that his "star" status (LOL) gave him the right to grab women "by the p****."
"Politics aside, I'm saddened that these comments still exist in our society at all," she said in a statement. "When I heard the comments yesterday, it was disappointing to hear such objectification of women ... As a woman who has worked very hard to establish her career, and as a mom, I feel I must speak out with the hope that as a society, we will always strive to be better."
For her part, Melania released a statement on Saturday. "The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me," she said. "This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world." Trump's daughter Ivanka has yet to speak about the remarks...

Yet again, Alec Baldwin knocked it out of the park with his impression of Donald Trump...
The Saturday Night Live sketch opened with a Vice Presidential Debate before "breaking news" flashed on the screen, and Donald Trump appeared to comment on the leaked audio recordings in which he says being a "star" allows him to grab women "by the p****." Trump said that he would like to "apple-a-gize," and when asked if he was trying to "apologize," Trump said, "No, I would never do that. What I am doing is apple-a-gizing to all the people who were deeply offended by my statements, but more importantly, to the people who were turned on by them. I hear it's really 50-50."
Trump was then asked what he would say to all the female voters. "I would say, women, if you give me a chance, I promise I can do a whole lot more than just grab it," he said. "I can also bop it, twist it and pull it." And oh, there's more -- just watch the video above!
A handful of celebrities have ripped into Trump following his latest scandal, and now some very prominent Republicans are withdrawing their support too.
Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger took to his Twitter to slam the presidential candidate, writing:
As proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else - American. My full statement: pic.twitter.com/biRvY8S3aZ
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice wrote on Facebook:
"Enough! Donald Trump should not be President. He should withdraw. As a Republican, I hope to support someone who has the dignity and stature to run for the highest office in the greatest democracy on earth."
John McCain, who was the republican presidential candidate in 2008, added on his website:
"In addition to my well known differences with Donald Trump on public policy issues, I have raised questions about his character after his comments on Prisoners of War, the Khan Gold Star family, Judge Curiel and earlier inappropriate comments about women. As I said yesterday, there are no excuses for Donald Trump’s offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by this kind of inappropriate behavior. He alone bears the burden of his conduct and alone should suffer the consequences. Donald Trump’s behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy."
While McCain and his wife "will not vote for Donald Trump," they aren't voting for Clinton either. "We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President," he added.

Scott Disick and son Mason went to the playground together in Los Angeles on Saturday, and it looks like the two yet again had a blast while mom Kourtney Kardashian stayed at home.
We've only seen Kourt out and about once since sister Kim's terrifying robbery, and it was on Tuesday, the day after she flew back from Paris and went straight to her family in Los Angeles. Kim flew back on Thursday, and Scott and Mason enjoyed a father/son date in Calabasas, lunching at King's Fish House while Kourt went to support her sister. Since then the rest of the family (well, except Kylie...) have been holed up at the family compound with Kim.
Beyonce Knowles went all out on the final night of her Formation World Tour at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
About ten minutes into the concert, Queen Bey stopped the show and told the audience that it was "a special night." Seconds later, Serena Williams rose on to the stage, seated on a throne, and the two recreated one a scenes from the "Sorry" music video, which included bodysuits and twerking. We love that these two are such good pals!
Of course, the crowd went even crazier when Bey brought out husband Jay Z to perform their 2013 duet "Drunk in Love," and the two shared a sweet kiss. Jay messed up the lyrics at one point, but his wifey didn't seem to mind. She also brought Kendrick Lamar onstage for "Freedom," and Bey closed out the show with fan favorite "Halo" and some fireworks. Sounds like a damn good time to us!

She may not be doing many movies these days, but she's still a pretty woman!
On Saturday Julia Roberts and hubby Danny Moder went to their kids' game in Malibu, and they were the definition of dedicated soccer parents! Julia cheered from the sidelines and handed out snacks after the game, and Danny busted out his pro grade camera setup (he IS a cinematographer, you know), and snapped photos of the kids.
Despite rumors earlier this year that the duo were on the rocks, it seems like their marriage is back on track. Back in the spring The National Enquirer reported that the actress has been looking for a divorce lawyer, and Moder has already moved out of the home he shares with her and their three kids.
Glad they're going for happily ever after, rather than the Brangelina route!

Another leaked audio clip of Donald Trump surfaced this week, and yet again, he's making crude comments about women.
The recording is from 2005, and in it we hear Trump chatting with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush about women, and specifically, how being a "star" like Trump gives men the right to grab women "by the p****." The tape was recorded several months after he married his third wife, Melania. Such class!
On TV personality Nancy O'Dell, Trump says:
“I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f*** her. She was married. And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’ I moved on her like a b*tch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married,. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.â€
Access Hollywood host Natalie Morales confirmed to viewers that the recording was about O'Dell last night, and explained that producers discovered the audio recording when they were shorting through old tapes after reports that he made other lewd and demeaning comments about women.
But Trump wasn't done yet. Before meeting up with actress Arianne Zucker on set for the interview they were filming, Bush exclaimed, "Your girl’s hot as sH8t, in the purple." First Trump replied with a few woahs, and then he said:
“I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything.â€
Naturally, a number of celebs have taken to social media to express their outrage, including Robert DeNiro who posted this video to YouTube:
Chelsea Handler: “Trump should be forced to have gender reassignment surgery, just for fun. He can find out what it’s like to be on the other side of him.â€
Bill Maher: "#TrumpPence #MakeSexualAssaultGreatAgain! #TrumpTape."
Cher: “LADIES👑WE R NOT DISPOSABLE BLOW UP DOLLS,4RICH MENS PLEASURE.I HAD SCARY EXPERIENCE W/RICH IMPORTANT FILM PROD & I WAS CHERâ€¼ï¸ I WANTED JOB."
Emmy Rossum: "Donald Trump thinks "when you're a star" you "can do anything" to women? Well you can't make me vote for you, you misogynistic entitled pig."
Lena Dunham: "Whether you feel it consciously or not, hearing these words out of a candidate's mouth is a threat."
Patton Oswalt: "Jee-zus. I knew Trump was a sexist creep, but I didn't know he was also a mediocre one. Is he D+ at EVERYTHING he attempts? Yuck."
In other news, unreleased footage form Robert DeNiro's “Get Out The Vote†commercial surfaced online, and the actor basically ripped Trump a new one. “He’s so blatantly stupid,†de Niro said. “He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con, a bullshit artist. A mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, doesn’t do his homework, doesn’t care, thinks he’s gaming society, doesn’t pay his taxes.â€
“I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize," Trump said in a video apology. "I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am."
“This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago,†Trump added. “Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.â€
