Ryan Lochte chatted with NBC’s Matt Lauer in New York City on Saturday, in a bid to clean up the media firestorm he created earlier this week. Lochte made headlines when the news got out that he told authorities he and several teammates from the U.S. Swim Team were robbed at gunpoint at a gas station in Rio.

In his first sit-down TV interview since the scandal, Lochte admitted that he left out some key details from his initial because he was “still intoxicated” at the time. “That’s why I’m in this mess,” the 32-year-old Olympian explained.

As new reports popped up, the media and the public began to question Lochte’s story, and on Tuesday, Rio police said they “found no evidence” to support Lochte’s claims. In fact, police stated that that the athletes were confronted by security guards and asked to pay for the damage they left at a local gas station.

“I over-exaggerated that story,” Lochte added, noting that the part in his story where an armed robber held a gun to his forehead “didn’t happen.”

When asked why he made it all up, Lochte replied:

“I don’t know why. It was hours after the incident happened [when I spoke to NBC’s Billy Bush, and] I was still intoxicated. I’m not making that an excuse. I shouldn’t have said that. I over-exaggerated that part. The gun was drawn, but it wasn’t at my forehead. … I’m not making me being intoxicated, like, an excuse. I’m not doing that at all. It was my fault, and I shouldn’t have said that. It’s how you want to make it look like. Whether you call it a robbery, whether you call it extortion, or us paying just for the damages, like, we don’t know. All we know is that there was a gun pointed in our direction, and we were demanded to give the money.”

Lauer gave Lochte some grief for blaming “mean streets of Rio” rather than his own “dumb behavior,” to which Lochte said, “And that’s why I’m taking full responsibility for it. I’m just really sorry and I hope [the people of Rio] can accept my apology,” he added. “I don’t want little kids to look at me for what I just did, for that one night. I don’t want that.”

Matt Damon, Reese Witherspoon and Chloe Moretz were among the many celebrities at Coldplay's concert at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena on Saturday night, and based on the smiles we're seeing, it looks like everyone had a blast!

Frontman Chris Martin went back and forth between the guitar and the piano as he sang, and the group kicked off the concert with the title track from their latest album, “Head Full of Dreams,” and then performed tunes from their previous six records. Any Gwyneth Paltrow sightings? If she was there, we must have missed her, but last week she did post an Instagram shot of Chris with the former couple's son Moses, and the two were working on music in the backyard of Chris' Malibu home.

Not only were 55,000 people in LA able to see the two-hour show, but it was broadcast on live streaming in the Philippines through the sponsorship of telecom network Globe and concert promoter MMI. How cool!

Justin Timberlake shared a short and heartfelt message mourning the death of his former ‘NSync manager, Lou Pearlman, who died in prison on Friday.

“I hope he found some peace,” JT tweeted tweeted on Sunday. “God bless and RIP, Lou Pearlman." Timberlake’s former bandmate Lance Bass added, “Word is that #LouPearlman has passed away. He might not have been a stand-up businessman, but I wouldn’t be doing what I love today w/out his influence. RIP Lou.”

The record producer was serving a 25-year prison sentence for his involvement in a Ponzi scheme that scammed 1,700 investors out of a half a billion dollars. Pearlman, who was 62 at the time of his death, was also the subject of an expose in the October 2007 issue of Vanity Fair, which had allegations of sexual harassment and molestation from a handful of former and aspiring singers.

Pearlman, who also worked with bands like Backstreet Boys, LFO and O-Town, denied the claims in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2014.

Miley Cyrus might have just canceled her Bora Bora honeymoon trip with fiance Liam Hemsworth, but the two are clearly still going strong!

On Friday the lovebirds went to Bui Sushi in Malibu, and Liam had his arm draped around his lady love when the two returned to their car. "Nothing seemed off," a photographer on the scene tells X17online exclusively. "Miley and Liam were acting as lovey dovey as ever."

For a second there we were worried, but seeing as Miley has a tendency to switch things up, it seems like the couple are just looking for a better spot. Not sure what's more relaxing and gorgeous than Bora Bora, though...

“They had the entire trip planned, but Miley just decided she didn’t want to go there anymore,” an insider previously told Us Weekly. “They have yet to pick a new locale.” Not only that, but the wedding is still up in the air! The couple were reportedly planning on having small ceremony on the beach in ­Australia, but now the couple are eyeing a fall wedding in an unknown destination. We're sure they'll figure it out!

Kim Kardashian is currently relaxing in Mexico with some gal pals, and while her kids are also there, you'd never know it from her R-rated Snapchats!

First the 35-year-old reality starlet posted a photo of herself all greased up in a nude swimsuit, and while she has a giant stain on her boob, her body looks incredible! Then she posted two videos of herself jiggling her assets to Nicki Minaj's "Down in the DM," and it's basically a full-on twerkathon. After that, she organized a birthday bash for close friend Hrush Achemyan, and in the clips, Kim revealed that it was a belated celebration.

“We couldn’t make it to her THOT-landa party last month, so they’re celebrating in Mexico,” she explained. The ladies enjoyed a mariachi band at dinner, and they wrapped up the evening with a piñata modeled after Kim's ass -- and her hot new Kimojis. “Oh my god — the best piñata ever!,” Kim gushed. “Was this not made for me or what? A Kimoji booty piñata!”

Butt of course...

Rob Kardashian is really committed to his relationship with Blac Chyna -- so much so that he got a neck tattoo honoring his lady love.

Chyna shared a Snapchat which showed off the 29-year-old's neck ink, that appears to spell "Anjila" which is his lady love's real name (which is Angela) in Arabic. It's also possible that he has "Aniyla," which is apparently what the couple is planning on naming their unborn daughter, so says TMZ.

That's a super big tattoo and that's a pretty intense thing to do to your neck when your relationship is on-again/off-again, but clearly Angela wanted a stamp on her main man.

If things don't work out with them -- and let's get real, they won't -- it's going to be annoying few trips to Dr. Tatoff to get that thing removed. Their baby? That's hard to give back ...

Earlier this week the couple did a Facebook Live chat to promote their upcoming E! show and when a fan asked the duo if they would keep up with the Kardashians' tradition of K names, Chyna said, "Stay tuned. I'm not trying to give no more details on the baby."

"But probably not," Rob then said.

Rob & Chyna premieres on September 11.

Whose butts are those?! Well Julianne Hough and Nina Dobrev's of course! The actresses decided to flaunt their bottoms in honor of this full moon it seems!

The besties are currently on a group trip to a lake with some pals and looking they are having a blast -- so much so that they decided to take off their off their pants!

Hough, Dobrev, and actress Milissa Sears dropped their bikini bottoms and took a photo of their pert butts and posted the snap to Instagam. The former Dancing with the Stars pro wrote, "Full moons! 🌝🌝🌝."

We can't image her Mormon relatives loved that one!

The blonde beauty was also featured in a photo posted by the Vampire Diaries star of the two of them hugging in a picturesque spot. Too fun!

The ladies also appeared to be joined by Hough's fiancé Brooks Laich, her brother Derek Hough, and Milissa's husband, actor Teddy Sears.

Reunited at last... 🤗 #SpoonFriendsAreTheBestFriends 📸: @brookslaich

Amber Heard is donating her $7 million settlement equally between two charities, the ACLU and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

Heard said in a statement, “As described in the restraining order and divorce settlement, money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves."

“As reported in the media, the amount received in the divorce was $7 million, and $7 million is being donated,” she continued. “This is over and above any funds that I have given away in the past and will continue to give away in the future.”

The 30-year-old went on, “I know these organizations will put the funds to good use and look forward to continuing to support them in the future. Hopefully this experience results in a positive change in the lives of people who need it the most.”

The ACLU thanked Heard for her donation: “We are incredibly grateful that Ms. Heard has so very generously shown her support for the important and necessary advocacy for victims of domestic violence. We could not be more thankful for Ms. Heard’s support — she can be confident that this gift will help other women live safely and freely.”

On Tuesday, August 16, after their divorce case was finally settled. The exes issues a joint statement, “Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm. Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future.”

While many people believe that Heard donating the $7 million to charities vindicates her -- we don't.

Donating $7 million to charity proves nothing (other than the fact that both parties want this over with) -- these people have the best lawyers in the world, who know how to spin what needs to be spun.

Look carefully at their joint statement: "Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity.” It does not say anything about the ENTIRE proceeds of the divorce to charity. These statements are carefully worded for a reason.

Earlier this week, Amber issued a statement saying that she was "vindicated in the court of public opinion" -- and then quickly retracted the statement and apologized to Depp. That's likely all about lawyers and money. Depp has the money -- she does not. It's very likely if Heard violates the stipulations of their settlement (aka bad mouthing) -- she will not get the money.

We think it's very likely that Depp gave Heard a private settlement that we ain't ever gonna hear about. Depp is reportedly worth $400 million. Think about it -- $7 million is nothing. Of course we don't know the truth -- but we do know how to poke holes in what look like lies.
