She simply did not go forward because she refused to sign the contract every other contestant signed. This was just one of numerous lies by her."
Beauty pageant winner Kayleigh Bush used to admire Miss America, but now she's ripping the organization for being unable to define what a woman is ... along with disagreements over trans women, which led to her being stripped of her crown.
We got Kayleigh on Capitol Hill and our photog asked her about her beef with Miss America ... and she explained how some controversial language in her Miss America contract led to a falling out.
Kayleigh was crowned Miss North Florida in September 2024, but two months later, she was stripped of her crown ... because she refused to sign a contract with Miss America that she says went against her beliefs ... namely, that women also include biological males who undergo transgender reassignment surgery.

We've seen activity for the first time in the Bitcoin account listed in the first ransom note which was sent to us here at TMZ, and also to 2 TV stations in Tucson. For various reasons, we are not going to reveal the amount, but the activity happened in the last 25 minutes.
Potentially big development in the Nancy Guthrie abduction ... our law enforcement sources say whoever kidnapped her from her Arizona home is also from the Tucson area.
Multiple sources involved in the investigation tell TMZ ... the operating theory is that the ransom notes were written by the kidnapper, and those notes provide clues on where the abductor lives.
TMZ has focused for several days on the alleged kidnapper's choice of media outlets to receive the letters. The first letter was sent to 2 Tucson TV stations and TMZ. The second letter was sent to only one of the Tucson stations.
Our law enforcement sources believe the person who wrote the ransom note was very familiar with the local stations ... so much so that it leads them to believe the Tucson area is the abductor's home.

Watch the clip, 'cause Teddy makes one thing clear: he’s not anti-BB. He gives the performance its flowers. But -- and it’s a big but -- he says when it comes to events like the Super Bowl, ratings matter.

The first stop was the Rainbow Bar & Grill, where party girl Natalie was already familiar with the manager and staff, and the pair handed out the bar's signature “Woohoo” shots, cheers-ing to the wild night ahead.
The night continued at Saddle Ranch, where the manager welcomed the group with unlimited chicken (original and buffalo) and famous pink gummy shots, followed by Venus riding the mechanical bull and nearly making it through the full ride before being thrown off in an epic fall.

Elizabeth Warren doesn't need to track her step count or run a stopwatch on her 40-yard dash to know she's the fastest Senator ... and she may very well be right, because our photog had a tough time keeping up with her.

Liz was on her way to the Senate for a speech about ICE funding when we chopped it up with her about a ton of topics ... including footwear.
