Several years after his infamous lewd conversation with Donald Trump for Access Hollywood, Billy Bush was caught on tape making a sexual comment about Kendall Jenner during a recent taping of Extra.
The Daily Beast reported Friday that it had obtained audio from an Oct. 31 Extra taping where Bush jokes with staffers about Jenner’s Toy Story-inspired Halloween costume. After asking someone for the name of her character, to which he was informed that she was dressed as Jessie the cowgirl, he says: “Kendall goes as Jessie and, believe me, there were a lot of woodies.”
The comment didn’t make it into the segment that aired on Halloween. While the Extra host did comment on Jenner’s costume in the final segment, he only went as far as to say, “it’s going to be hard to see Toy Story the same way ever again.”

The death of Cheslie Kryst has spurred an outpouring of emotions around the world, as well as sparked a conversation about mental health awareness.
Now, Kryst’s mother is publicly sharing that her daughter privately battled depression — an inner struggle that she did not disclose with even her family and friends.
“I have never known a pain as deep as this. I am forever changed,” Kryst’s mother, April Simpkins, said in a statement.
“Today, what our family and friends privately knew was the cause of death of my sweet baby girl, Cheslie, was officially confirmed,” Simpkins’ statement continued. “While it may be hard to believe, it’s true. Cheslie led both a public and a private life. In her private life, she was dealing with high-functioning depression which she hid from everyone — including me, her closest confidant — until very shortly before her death.”
An autopsy this week officially confirmed Kryst’s cause of death.

“Empire Star” Terrence Howard may be quitting acting for good.
In an interview with Extra on the set of the Fox drama, Howard told correspondent and current Miss USA Cheslie Kryst that he’s “done with acting” after “Empire” wraps production.
“Oh, I’m done with acting. I’m done pretending,” Howard told Kryst in response to a question about his next moves post-“Empire.”
When asked whether he would instead focus on philanthropic efforts, he replied, “No, not philanthropy; I’m just focusing on bringing truth to the world.”
Reps for Howard did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment Thursday.
Fox will air the sixth and final season of “Empire” on Sept. 24. But even after Howard is done playing Lucious, he still has two other projects in the works, according to his IMDb page — “Cut Throat City,” an action-drama feature directed by RZA, and an action-comedy film called “Selfie,...

Cheslie Kryst, Nia Franklin and Kaliegh Garris are trailblazers in every sense of the word. For the first time in history, three black women are the titleholders of the three major pageants titles: Miss America, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA. Let that sink in. Cheslie, Nia and Kaliegh's recent achievement is even wilder considering it's been 36 years since Vanessa Williams became the first-ever black contestant to win the Miss America pageant in 1983. And, while the pageant world has made leaps and bounds in terms of progress, it's about time that there is equal representation for all! And these three young women could not be more proud to be a role model for young boys and girls...

Fifty-one worthy queens vied for a single crown on Thursday, making the 2019 Miss USA pageant a little like Game of Thrones‘ Battle of Winterfell — only with less dragons. That we know of.
Nick and Vanessa Lachey returned to host this year’s festivities, which went down in Reno Tahoe’s Grand Sierra Resort and Casino’s Grand Theatre. (New game: Take a shot every time you see the word “grand”!) Though Nick Lachey’s pageant history is limited to hosting, Vanessa Lachey is actually a former Miss Teen USA (1998).
Judging this year’s crop of queens were businesswoman Nicole Feld (of Feld Entertainment,...
