You Might Want to Rethink

4:25 PM PST -- Billy Bush just told Variety, "Obviously I’m embarrassed and ashamed. It’s no excuse, but this happened eleven years ago — I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I’m very sorry."

Donald Trump talked to Billy Bush about trying to bang chicks back in 2005, but Trump says the conversation was clearly private, one-on-one locker room banter that was recorded by an "Access Hollywood" crew.

The Washington Post somehow obtained "Access Hollywood" footage from 2005, where Trump talked in graphic terms about how easy it was for celebs like himself to seduce women, even saying, "Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything."

The Post says Trump was recently married to Melania at the time the conversation was recorded on a bus near the "Days of Our Lives" set.

Justin Bieber is a man of many looks ... but his latest might be his most epic.

The Biebs was out in Amsterdam Friday sporting a wig, glasses and a classic porn 'stache with matching goatee. The only problem -- JB did a poor job covering up his signature tats -- but to be honest, they're a perfect fit with the look.

Further proof ... things get weird in Amsterdam.

Kim Kardashian has found God -- at a discount -- because after the robbery wealth will no longer be the driver of her brand.

Sources close to Kim tell us ... she actually agrees with critics who say she put a target on her back by flaunting her wealth and jewelry on social media. A number of people have been critical of Kim for posing with her $4.5 million diamond ring in the apartment shortly before the hit.

We're told Kim is taking a month off work and when she returns she's pulling back in a big way on social media. She won't be displaying her personal wealth ... and she'll even be less ostentatious with the promotion of her fashion line.

Kim has been rocked to her core after being tied up with a gun to her head. She's saying privately ... "Material things mean nothing. It's not all about the money," adding, "It's not worth it."

Carly Chaikin fears her hit show is giving hackers ideas about how to wreak havoc ... and her own iCloud is exhibit A.

We got the "Mr. Robot" actress at LAX, where she told us the show tries to make it clear to real-world hackers there are consequences for that line of work. And then she gave us the scoop on some related personal drama.

Check out the video -- Carly is, hands down, the most chill celeb we've ever talked to about possibly getting hacked.

Must be an occupational hazard.

The Dallas PD has solved the mysterious Aqib Talib shooting -- determining the NFL star shot himself during an incident back in June ... this according to a local news report.

As we previously reported, Talib was shot in the leg on June 5th -- and told police he was hit while standing in a park.

However, Talib was at V Live strip club earlier in the evening where a gunfight broke out -- and there were reports he shot himself during that incident.

Now, WFAA TV's Rebecca Lopez is citing sources who say "Dallas PD has completed the Aqib Talib case. They've determined the Broncos cornerback was not shot by someone but shot himself."

If it's determined he lied to police, Talib could be charged with a crime.

We reached out to the Dallas PD for comment -- and public information officer Tramese Andrews told us, "I have not been made aware of any new information regarding that incident and cannot confirm any information regarding your request."

Samsung's new Galaxy smartphone is the bomb to at least one consumer who says the thing scorched his groin while he was sleeping.

Michael Taylor is suing Samsung over its new Galaxy Note 7, which blew up and caught fire on his bed in the dead of night ... according to the docs. Taylor says the hotline burned his crotch, legs and sheets.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, he says he had no idea the phone had a defective battery susceptible to overheating and exploding. About a month after he bought it, he was charging the phone overnight and says he woke up to find it "shooting flames" ... which caused 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns.

Samsung had issued a recall earlier in September -- before the alleged fire -- but Michael says the phone should never have been sold to him in the first place.

Cam Newton raged WAYYY too hard in the Bev Hills mansion he rented after the Super Bowl -- throwing crazy parties and causing nearly $100k in damage ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Here's Floyd Mayweather showing off $1 MILLION in cash ... which he often likes to do on social media.

The timing is interesting -- considering Kim Kardashian was targeted and robbed at gunpoint after showing off her expensive jewels on social media.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's TV career together is looking short and NOT sweet -- season 2 of their show is now hanging by a thread.

Production sources on "Rob & Chyna" tell TMZ ... E! execs haven't ordered a 2nd season yet, and a big part of the problem is they can't get the couple to shoot together. As we've reported, Rob's become a hermit again and we're told that's giving the bosses cold feet. Understandably, they're worried they won't get a full season out of him.

Obviously, a sophomore season could get huge ratings with so much drama, plus a baby and possibly a wedding around the corner ... if Rob's on board, and we're told that's a BIG if right now. Not to mention the season airing now is doing very well.

Our sources say honchos think Chyna's TV gold, and would consider working with her solo on a different show -- but if her fiancé remains MIA ... "Rob & Chyna" will die on the vine.

The woman who claims Chris Brown pulled a gun on her got a hysterical assist from Breezy in her quest to win a beauty pageant.

Baylee Curran was a contestant in the Miss Greater Inland Empire Pageant -- it's a prelim for Miss California -- and when it came time for the evening gown competition last weekend, she got a sweet and serendipitous surprise.

The DJ had a great sense of humor because he threw on CB's "Don't Wake Me Up." Watch the video ... you gotta laugh.

The pageant director tells TMZ the song choice was purely a coincidence. People in the audience say it didn't appear Baylee noticed, but she was upset about something else.

We're told she didn't even place in the competition, so she stormed out early. Still a better exit than the one she made at Chris' house.

Kim Kardashian's bodyguard says cops could've busted him if he roughed up the guy who kissed Kim's butt ... and he thinks that's BS.

Pascal Duvier -- who heads Kim's security detail -- addressed the assault, saying under the law he could have faced assault and battery charges for beating the crap out of Vitalii Sediuk ... like many people thought he would. Seriously, have you seen the size of Pascal?

Check out the clip -- he held down Sediuk for a few seconds, but then let him go.

Fifth Harmony's Ally Brooke felt a different kinda girl power when a crazed fan almost brought her to the ground Wednesday as the group arrived in Monterrey, Mexico.

It's pretty scary ... the person in the yellow shirt appears to go in for a selfie with the singer, but grabs a hold of Ally's shirt.

UFC fighter Jeremy Stephens vows REVENGE against Conor McGregor for trashing him at the UFC 205 media event -- telling TMZ Sports he'll "mop the floor" with the Irish superstar.

Conor dissed the hell out of Stephens during the event -- when he turned to the UFC veteran and shouted, "Who the fuck is that guy?!"

The clip went viral -- but now, Stephens is firing back in a scathing statement in which he refers to Conor as "McClown" -- and blasts him as a "bully" who can't hold his own against real fighters.

"Media and UFC like to fuel this guy's fictional character to always bully and disrespect other fighters like it's funny," Stephens says.

"I can't accept that and will mop the floor with him."

He adds, "I've been humbling bullies and disrespectful guys like him since grade school."

There's a lot more in the full statement (see below) -- Stephens clearly hopes to settle the score with Conor inside the Octagon.

By the way, Stephens ain't no bitch -- he's been fighting in the UFC since 2007 and is currently the #7 ranked featherweight.

Kim Kardashian got an up-close encounter from the same guy who attacked Gigi Hadid last week ... but this time he was kissing ass instead of grabbing it.

Vitalii Sediuk ran up on Kim's rear Wednesday in Paris ... slipping past security and planting a kiss right on her left cheek. Her security pounced and took him down immediately. It's unclear if he was arrested.

Kim was impressed with her team's reaction. As she put it ... "My security's a G."

Vitalii pulled the same crap 2 years ago in Paris -- also at Fashion Week -- but that attack was way more aggressive.

Justin Bieber gave some lucky fans a DNA sample when he uncorked a sneeze during his concert in Finland.

Justin was doing his hit, "What Do You Mean?" ... when the countdown started on his snot rocket launch. Y'know how it is when you just can't hold back. Check out the video, which shows a juicy projectile going straight from JB's schnoz to the not-at-all cheap seats.

Brody Jenner is going to war with a ritzy OC hotel after he totally flipped out on 2 staffers who had entered his room to kick him off the property.

TMZ obtained this video of Brody's rage Sunday morning in the lobby of the Laguna Cliffs Marriott -- he's ripping into 2 security guards, and threatening to press charges against them. Sources close to Brody tell us it all started with a misunderstanding ... when he wanted to be let into his manager's room to grab some personal items.

When the hotel said that wasn't allowed, Brody got angry. We're told he was actually pissed about the situation, and at his manager. However, the hotel staffer thought Brody was going off on them ... and sent security to kick him out.

We're told Brody says they entered without knocking, and that was the last straw for him.

Law enforcement tells us Orange County Sheriff's deputies were called to the hotel around 7 AM to keep the peace. Deputies spoke to Brody, and eventually ... he calmly left the hotel.
