Kelly Clarkson can’t “Breakaway” from her good looks!

Here’s a 20-year-old version of the original American Idol at a Hollywood event back in 2002 (left) and 14 years later ... the three-time Grammy winner and mother of two -- earlier this week (right).

“A moment like this.”

The question is ...

2:45 PM PST -- Senator and former Presidential hopeful John McCain just announced he's withdrawn his support for Trump.

Donald Trump isn't backing down from his bid for Prez ... even though he's taking major heat from the heavy hitters in the Republican Party asking him to call it quits.

Trump spoke with The Washington Post Saturday, saying, "I'd never withdraw. I've never withdrawn in my life." He continues, "No, I'm not quitting. I have tremendous support."

Trump told The Wall Street Journal there is "zero chance I quit."

Nancy O'Dell has broken her silence on the sexually aggressive comments made by Donald Trump that targeted her and others.

The Entertainment Tonight host posted a statement to the show's site Saturday, saying, "When I heard the comments yesterday, it was disappointing to hear such objectification of women ... no female, no person, should be the subject of such crass comments, whether or not cameras are rolling."

As TMZ reported, O'Dell became the subject of a newly leaked video from 2005 where Trump and Billy Bush can be heard in a sexually graphic conversation ... with Trump mentioning he tried to have sex with her, but she wasn't having it.

O'Dell ends with, "As a woman who has worked very hard to establish her career, and as a mom, I feel I must speak out with the hope that as a society we will always strive to be better."

Melania Trump has come out and denounced Donald's words from the leaked video ... calling the clip "unacceptable and offensive."

Melania released her statement Saturday, almost 24 hours after the 2005 video surfaced. Melania says, "The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me. This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader."

The could-be First Lady concludes, "I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world."

Ron White got a rude awakening after a man allegedly kicked the crap out of his tour bus in the wee hours of the morning ... prompting the comedian to rush out in his long johns wielding a golf club.

Cops in Greenville, SC tell TMZ ... it all went down around 2:30 AM Friday when a driver sideswiped White's parked tour bus with his truck. Cops came and determined Bradley Palmer was at fault ... which really pissed him off.

We're told cops knocked on White's bus to hand him the collision report ... but he was asleep and no one answered. That shoulda been the end of it ... but get this -- shortly after, cops say they got a second call ... about Ron chasing Palmer with a golf club.

Ron says he woke up to someone loudly kicking his bus. He dashed out of the bus without putting clothes on ... and gave chase with the iron.

Donald Trump's running mate Governor Mike Pence has broken his silence on the leaked tape.

In a statement released Saturday, Pence says, "As a husband and father, I was offended by the words and actions described by Donald Trump ... I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them."

However, it's not all bad from Pence ... who continues, "I am grateful that he has expressed remorse and apologized to the American people. We pray for his family and look forward to the opportunity he has to show what is in his heart when he goes before the nation tomorrow night."

Pence's release comes on the heels of Trump's video apology where he states the 2005 audio of his graphic depiction of women does not reflect who he is today.

Brad Pitt will not be prosecuted for the incident on his private jet ... in fact, we've learned there was never an investigation in the first place because FBI sources say there's no case.

TMZ broke the story ... after the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services started its investigation into allegations Brad struck his 15-year-old son on a private jet, the LAPD was notified and turned the matter over to the FBI, which has jurisdiction.

Well-placed law enforcement sources tell us the FBI never opened an investigation, and say the matter should never have even been referred to the agency.

The Bureau's official position is that they are still fact-gathering, though they are not calling it an investigation. Behind the scenes, we're told the case will go nowhere.

As we reported, Maddox suffered no injuries and some witnesses on the jet say Brad's contact with the boy was inadvertent.

Sources connected with Angelina Jolie put it out there that she did not want Brad prosecuted, but the reality is ... that was never going to happen anyway.

DCFS has interviewed family members but, as far as we know, the dept. has taken no action with respect to custody. As we reported, for now Angelina has full physical custody of the couple's 6 kids.

Donald Trump just released a recorded apology stating he's a changed man since the newly surfaced video shot in 2005 ... and his graphic statements about women in no way reflect his beliefs.

In the apology, a serious looking Trump says, "I've said and done things I regret ... and the words released today in this more than a decade old video are one of them." Trump continues, "I said it, I was wrong ... and I apologize."

Trump also takes aim at the Clintons, saying, "Bill Clinton has abused women, and Hillary Clinton has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims."

Maria Menounos thinks Billy Bush, her former "Access Hollywood" co-host, should tough it out and keep his "Today" show gig.

We got Maria at Catch in WeHo Friday night when our photog asked about the Donald Trump video in which Billy at times gives Donald an "attaboy."

Beyonce closed out her Formation World Tour Friday night with a couple big guests ... Serena Williams and hubby Jay Z.

Queen Bey was at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for her swan song. Serena did a cameo for "Lemonade" ... rising from the stage to reprise that thing she did for the "Sorry" music vid.

As for Jay ... he came out for "Drunk in Love" ... and he grabbed a little ass.

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian were borderline hostile to the Kardashian fam Friday night by almost mocking what may have led to Kim's night of terror.

Chyna showed off some serious bling, including a big fat diamond ring, with Rob doing commentary on Snapchat.

As we reported, Kim is backing off social media when it comes to displaying opulence in her life.

Oscar De La Hoya says battling cocaine addiction is the toughest fight there is -- but he's confident heavyweight champ Tyson Fury can beat his blow problem ... as long as he gets help.

Paris and Debbie got close after Michael died, but the teenager cut off contact for a few years ... until recently.

Now she's become a core part of Debbie's support system.
