Newly crowned Miss USA Kára McCullough has clarified the controversial comment she made about health care during Sunday’s live competition in Las Vegas.
The District of Columbia contestant drew social media ire after she called health care a “privilege” during the question-and-answer portion of the competition. However, she reversed her answer during an appearance on Good Morning America Tuesday — instead deeming it a “right.”
“I am privileged to have health care and I do believe that it should be a right,” McCullough, 25, told co-host Michael Strahan. “I hope and pray moving forward that health care is a right for all worldwide.

Here at Et, we're obsessed with a lot of things -- and for the week of May 8 to May 14, this is what we're most excited about:
Why We're Obsessed With 'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword'
It's fairly simple why we're obsessed with Guy Ritchie's medieval action epic, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword -- its cast, which includes hunks Charlie Hunnam as the titular hero alongside Jude Law as his Uncle Vortigern and David Beckham in a cameo role as a disgruntled knight. The highly anticipated movie will take on the classic myth about Excalibur, following Arthur's journey from the streets to the throne. As for the famous sword used on set, Et caught up with Hunnam last year, where he revealed whether or not he got to keep the blade, "You know what? I didn't," he said. "And I was promised a sword!" Although it may seem like Hunnam is the perfect...

Yes, the pay gap is real — even in Hollywood, when so much currency hinges on awards love.
On Wednesday night’s episode of “Chelsea,” host Chelsea Handler was joined by Hilary Swank, Connie Britton, Ava DuVernay and Miss USA Deshauna Barber for a “women’s dinner party” to chat about, amongst other things, what it’s like to be a woman in the entertainment world. “Selma” director DuVernay shared some of her own experiences as a woman in the directing field — including a tidbit about how “making the jump” for female directors can be so, so different for male directors — before Swank chimed in with her own stories.
