Billy Bush’s Wife NOT “Furious” About Leaked Donald Trump Tape, Despite Report

Billy Bush Wife Donald Trump Tape

Billy Bush’s wife is NOT furious about the leaked tape of her husband having a lewd conversation with Donald Trump, nor is it causing problems in their marriage, despite an inaccurate report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this claim. We’re told it’s not true.

Bush recently left his job as a “Today” show co-anchor as a result of unearthed footage from behind-the-scenes of a 2005 “Access Hollywood” segment showing him and Trump engaging in “locker room talk.” And now, according to the New York Post, the video has caused major issues between Bush and his wife of 18 years, Sydney Davis. A so-called “source” tell the newspaper that she’s not only angry about what he said, “but because he was stupid enough to put himself in that position.”

The outlet’s questionable insider adds, “It wasn’t just the vile talk, it’s because he insisted the woman hug him and Trump. It was creepy. She was so furious that she refused to speak with him for a while — and she’s still furious.” The paper’s ill-informed source further alleges Bush and Davis are “having marriage problems.”

The publication then goes on claim Bush boasted about the tape to his NBC colleagues back while covering the Rio Olympics in August, months prior to it leaking. “Billy has brought this on himself,” adds the supposed “insider,” who further alleges that NBC executives searched their archives as a result of the newsman supposedly telling co-workers about the tape.

But Gossip Cop checked in with a reliable source close to the situation, who assures us Bush’s wife is “not mad or furious,” and the tape hasn’t caused them “marriage problems.” The TV personality acknowledged he acted immaturely more than a decade ago and apologized for his actions, and his wife understands. Additionally, the newspaper’s tale about Bush bragging about the footage in Rio is completely fictitious. It never happened, and it’s an apocryphal tale that’s wrongly been picked up and spread. Quite simply, individuals at NBC who were looking for Trump footage mined the “Access Hollywood” archives and found the embarrassing video. Bush, most assuredly, did not mention it.

Eddie Vedder World Series Video: Watch “Take Me Out To The Ball Game”

Eddie Vedder World Series Cubs Video

(FOX)

Eddie Vedder sang “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” during Game Five of the World Series at Wrigley Field on Sunday night. Watch the video below!

The “Pearl Jam” frontman performed his version of the classic baseball tune during the seventh inning stretch of the latest matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians. It’s been a longtime tradition for a special celebrity guest to sing “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” from the announcer’s booth at Wrigley Field. The custom began back when legendary baseball announcer Harry Caray would lead the stadium in a sing-a-long from his booth. As Gossip Cop reported, Bill Murray and Vince Vaughn performed “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” during Game Three and Game Four of the World Series earlier this week.

Vedder, an Illinois native and longtime Cubs fan, has performed the baseball song several times before at the Chicago stadium, most recently in 2015. The rocker is such a big fan of the Cubs, he even celebrated with the team earlier this month after they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. Watch Vedder’s World Series rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” in the video below!

Kate Middleton, Prince William NOT “Fighting,” Despite Report

Kate Middleton and Prince William are NOT “fighting” nor are they “living separate lives,” despite a wholly manufactured report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this claim that further alleges the royal couple’s supposed marital problems are being caused by Queen Elizabeth. We’re told it’s “inaccurate.”

According to the serial fabricators at Celeb Dirty Laundry, Prince William and Middleton are “living separate lives” and are only putting on “a pretense of having a happy marriage” for the public. The repeatedly discredited site, which has no sources or proof, blames the Queen for saddling the young royals with a “heavy workload” that’s taking its “toll on their marriage.” The webloid even alleges Queen Elizabeth is “putting more than they can handle on their plates.” All this feeling of being “overworked and under appreciated,” contends the outlet, is leading to “some major friction in their marriage.”

Despite its premise, however, CDL doesn’t offer any concrete evidence of Middleton and Prince William “fighting.” Not once in its entire article does the webloid quote a source to back up its claim or even prove they’re “living separate lives.” All the site does is make baseless allegations, without any proof whatsoever.

The webloid has a rich history of making up stories about the royals. Three months ago, Gossip Cop busted the outlet when it falsely alleged Middleton and Prince William’s France vacation was to work on marriage problems. Nor was there any validity to the site’s report that wrongly claimed Middleton got a boob job. Much like those untrue articles and others, a royal insider tells Gossip Cop the latest tale about Prince William and Middleton “living separate lives” and “fighting” because of Queen Elizabeth is “inaccurate.”

Vince Vaughn World Series Video: Watch “Take Me Out To The Ball Game!”

Vince Vaughn World Series

(FOX)

Vince Vaughn led Chicago Cubs fans in a spirited rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” during Game Four of the World Series on Saturday. Watch the video below!

At Wrigley Field, it’s long been tradition to sing “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” during the 7th inning stretch. The group sing-along dates back to the days of announcer Harry Caray, who used to lead the stadium in song. Now every game features a special guest, usually someone famous, leading the performance from the announcer’s booth.

Vaughn has had the honor of doing it a few times in the past, and earlier Saturday, it was revealed the actor would get to return to the press box during tonight’s World Series game against the Cleveland Indians. While the Cubs are down 2-1 in the series, this is the team’s first time playing in the championship since 1945, making this likely a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Vaughn.

The movie star grew up in the Chicago area, and even got married in nearby Lake Forest. Vaughn has owned a number of real estate properties in the city over the years, and memorably took part in the Polar Plunge at Lake Michigan last year while wearing a Chicago Blackhawks jersey. At Wrigley, he now follows fellow Chicagoan Bill Murray, who sang “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” at Friday’s Game Three. How does Vaughn compare? Check out the video below!

EXCLUSIVE! Sexism, Homophobia, Bigotry — We Unearthed Old Tapes Of The Apprentice And Found More Of The Real Donald Trump!

Going back through seasons of old footage of The Apprentice, Donald Trump repeatedly said sexist, homophobic things while condoning and apologizing for sexual harassment and even going so far as to threaten contestants who wouldn’t vote for him for President.

And considering how reality TV super-producer Mark Burnett likely won’t release any unaired footage of Trump being inappropriate and downright un-presidential on The Apprentice, who better than us to look back at the old aired episodes of the reality show to discorver Trump as a person — in his own words.

There’s no question he has done more than his fair share of horribly inappropriate things — but after you read this, it will get worse. Then again, maybe this is exactly what you’d expect out of the man who has run an embarrassing scorched-earth campaign for the last year and a half.

So bare with us — we found many examples of The Donald going way over the top, as in this case, back on episode 7 of season 4 when he openly, aggressively asked contestant Clay Lee about his sexuality and took an inappropriate, tacky turn for the worst:

TRUMP: “Are you a homosexual, Clay?”

CLAY: “I am, yes Mr. Trump, I am.”

TRUMP: “Is that true?”

CLAY: “Yes, it is.”

TRUMP: “Okay. Markus [another contestant], did you know that Clay was gay?”

MARKUS: “Yes, I did. When we first–“

TRUMP: “Did everybody know this? I didn’t know it. You don’t find Alla [a female contestant] very attractive, then?”

CLAY: “No.”

TRUMP: “And you don’t find Felisha [another female contestant] very attractive?”

CLAY: “I mean, she’s a beautiful woman. They’re beautiful woman, but they’re not my thing.”

TRUMP: “Okay, all right. That’s why they have menus in restaurants, you know. I like steak, somebody else likes spaghetti. That’s why they have menus in restaurants. It’s a great world.”

That’s… uh… Donald, we won’t even go into how unbelievably tacky it is to compare sexuality to spaghetti, which is a horrible and insensitive thing to say. Come on!!!

It gets far more offensive, though — as you might suspect.

In season ten of the show, in an episode airing on November 4, 2010, Trump questioned, badgered, and aggressively insinuated that contestant David Johnson might be gay (he was not):

TRUMP: “David are you gay?”

DAVID: “Not at all sir.”

TRUMP: “You never know and who cares, right David? I know guys who were married for twenty years, they left with a guy. I mean they liked a guy. Right David? But, that’s not you?”

DAVID: “Not me sir.”

TRUMP: “Are you sure you don’t want to come out? I know guys who were married for twenty years, they left with a guy. I mean they liked a guy. Right David? But, that’s not you?”

DAVID: “Not me sir.”

TRUMP: “Are you sure you don’t want to come out?”

DAVID: “I am a 100% sure I’m not coming out.”

Seriously, Donald?!

How offensive — and relentless — can you be asking somebody something so personal, whether or not they are gay?! Inappropriate!!

He did it with celebrities, too, like the season of Celebrity Apprentice where The Donald openly questioned whether Clay Aiken could get along with “rough” bikers in a season 12 episode that aired on April 8, 2012:

PAUL [biker lead]: “You know what? I got to say, Clay is always a hitter.”

TRUMP: “That’s a big shocker to you?”

PAUL: “I’m telling you. The guy is so well-rounded.”

TRUMP: “How would Clay get along with your rough guys? I see some of the guys you work with. They’re seriously rough, right? These are rough guys and they love being on a bike and they’ll go from New York to California.”

PAUL: “I don’t think he’d want to.”

TRUMP: “Would he survive in that world?”

CLAY: “I put up with you okay.”

PAUL: “Yeah, he does put up with me.”

TRUMP: “I think he might, right?”

IVANKA: “If he was project manager in your shop would he get anything done?”

PAUL: “No. No.”

IVANKA: “That would be a good task.”

CLAY: “Try me.”

TRUMP: “That’s a little different. He might do better than you think. Who knows, right?”

Hmm… more of the same from The Donald, assuming gay people somehow can’t compete in the world! Plain ignorance!!

More disturbing in terms of his own presidential aspirations, though, is The Donald’s complete insistence on being worshipped in the boardroom of The Apprentice.

For example, take this exchange from season 11, episode seven (that aired April 24, 2011), where he said that anybody who wouldn’t vote for him for President is “stupid”:

TRUMP: “Who would not vote for me? Who would not vote for me? That’s good.”

IVANKA: “A hot hint, don’t raise your hand.”

TRUMP: “I would say anybody that raised their hand would immediately be fired because they’re stupid.”

Only complete babies can’t handle criticism and differing opinions!!

Speaking of criticism and differing opinions, here’s a horrifying thought: President Trump out seeking retribution with access to nuclear weapons!

Video: President Obama DESTROYS Trump During Mean Tweets Sketch!

Don’t take our word for it that The Donald would seek revenge for the smallest slight, though — let him tell it!

In a season 5 episode airing on May 15, 2006, The Donald said in the boardroom:

TRUMP: “Nobody takes things more personally than me. When somebody says something about me I hate them for the rest of my life. It’s probably wrong. I hate people. Do you understand that? … I hate them. You know that better than anybody Ivanka. I take everything personally. I knock them for that. I take never recover from it. Don’t worry about it.”

Yeah, unless you’re a psychopath (or a sociopath), that is NOT an attractive candidate to have in a President — especially one that could realistically start a major war over a bad tweet!!

We all know very well about Trump’s alleged repeated acts of sexual misconduct and sexual assault, and so it’s absolutely no surprise that in the boardroom of The Apprentice, his real character would slip and he would display a horrifying opinion about women and sex.

Take, for example, a conversation he had with a couple contestants during a season 10 boardroom (air date: October 14, 2010) where Trump said point blank that good-looking men don’t harass women while speaking with contestants David Johnson, Anand Vesudev, and Steuart Martens about one allegedly harassing female models:

TRUMP: “Why didn’t you put your hat in the ring?”

DAVID: “Because he wants to harass women.”

STEUART: “Well, I knew how much we were going to have on our plate during the course of the day.”

TRUMP: “Now, you said what, he wanted to harass women?”

DAIVD: “Yeah, there’s women in this area, so he wants to find them. He didn’t want to do anything else but go shopping with women so he could help pick out bras and clothing for them.”

ANAND: “That’s completely incorrect. Wade immediately came to both of us because he apparently thinks that we’re the two stylish ones on the group, which I don’t think has anything to do with harassing women, you know, picking out bras. I mean, that’s a very harsh accusation.”

TRUMP: “Well, when you say harassing women, you’re saying he likes women. You don’t mean harass. The word harassing, this guy doesn’t have to harass women, he’s a good-looking guy.”

DAVID: “Did you see me harass one person?”

ANAND: “There was not a single person harassed.”

TRUMP: “Okay. He’s not harassing women.”

“Good-looking guys” don’t “have to” harass women.

Is this guy EVER going to get it?? No wonder he makes the comments he does — and then denies they are anything more than “locker room talk”!!!

Video: Trump Whines About Hillary Clinton Seeing Adele In Concert!

Speaking of “good-looking guys,” Trump believes he is one (big shocker there).

Here’s what he said to a couple contestants — and his daughter Ivanka — about wearing a skin-tight men’s bathing suit on a season six episode of The Apprentice that aired on January 14, 2007:

TRUMP: “Who’s idea was it to do a tight suit like that?”

NICOLE: “Ultimately, Carey had chosen. He was kind of in charge of the men’s bathing suits.”

TRUMP: “I have a great body. I really do. I have a great, great body. I could wear that suit Carey, and you can wear that suit, but nobody else at this table could wear that suit. Do you understand that?”

NICOLE: “Mr. Trump, come on.”

HEIDI: “May be able to but would they? That’s …”

IVANA: “Carey, you did wear the suit.”

TRUMP: “Carey, you felt good in that suit, right?”

CAREY: “It was …”

TRUMP: “You looked good in the suit but guys don’t look as good as you Carey.”

CAREY: “Here’s what we did. Once we knew that Trina Turk had gay consumers …”

IVANKA: “The problem is this task isn’t about necessarily catering to the consumer. It’s catering to the buyer who is going to be purchasing for the consumer.”

TRUMP: “I was with the buyers watching and they didn’t want that suit.”

The Donald has seen his own body in the mirror, right?! He has to know that any skin-tight bathing suit is NOT going to look flattering on him — at least not by the horribly superficial definitions of beauty that he himself has created.

Right??

Speaking of beauty, if there is one person who looks good in The Donald’s mind — besides, well, The Donald himself — it’s Ivanka.

Ohhhhh, Ivanka.

In an April 14, 2013 episode of season 13 of The Apprentice, Trump drops this little nugget in on the boardroom:

“Ivanka, you look great tonight, too. That’s a good looking daughter. Do we agree?”

Right… because it’s not creepy enough to worship your daughter’s looks, he has to go a step further and get everyone else to ogle her, too.

Wow.

Of course, ALL of this goes all the way back to his original first episode of the show — in other words, The Donald has ALWAYS been this way, and he will never change.

In case you don’t remember back that far — nearly thirteen years ago — it was January 8, 2004 when episode one of season one of The Apprentice aired, and Trump said this:

TRUMP: “Who’s going to work for me at the end? Now some of you think that attending a top business school gives you an advantage. Others think that street smarts and hands-on experience are the best way to get ahead. Additionally, women have a tougher time in the workplace, or so they say. Let’s find out. We’re going to be setting up two teams of eight each, and I’ve decided it’s going to be men against women.”

That’s right — he openly questioned at the very start of his very first show whether women actually had a tougher time than men in the workplace. That was the lead-in to his entire series.

He’s always questioned women. He’s always been in the dark about gay men.

He’s always been ignorant to the plight of, well, literally everybody except for himself.

And you expect him to suddenly change and become a professional, redeemable person now that he’s running for President???

Dream on.

Patrick Stump National Anthem World Series Video: Watch “Star-Spangled Banner” Performance!

Patrick Stump National Anthem Video

(Fox)

Patrick Stump sang the National Anthem at Game Three of the 2016 World Series between the Cubs and the Indians on Friday. Watch below!

As Gossip Cop has reported, the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians are facing off in a historic match-up as neither team has been in the World Series in decades. For the Cubs, tonight marks the first World Series played at the iconic Wrigley Field since 1945.

And Stump, the lead singer of Fall Out Boy, is no doubt honored to be a part of it. The performer was born in Evanston, Illinois and grew up in Glenview, both northern suburbs of Chicago. Fall Out Boy has long been considered a Chicago band, with the group’s music peppered with references to the city.

It was only announced earlier Friday that Stump would get to sing the “Star-Spangled Banner,” and that afternoon, band mate and fellow Chicago area native Pete Wentz held a “#PeteWentzTalksCubs” chat on Twitter. Asked his favorite player, the bassist amusingly replied, “patrick stump probably… maybe fowler after him ;).”

Wentz was also asked if he and Patrick, with the rest of Fall Out Boy, “ever get too competitive over sports.” The answer: “i think me and andy have been competitive with each other but only in a brotherly kind of way….,” he said, referring to Andy Hurley, the Fall Out Boy drummer. As for Stump, he actually hasn’t tweeted since February, so no comment from him. Watch full video of his National Anthem performance below!
