Here's the full list:

Kanye West

Scott Baio

Sydney Sweeney

Dr. Phil McGraw

Kid Rock

Stacey Dash

Joe Rogan

Azealia Banks

Jon Voight

God I hate him.

I can't wait for the all-star rendition* of "YMCA" that will close this year's Kennedy Centers telecast.

*Led by Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and a newly pardoned Sean Diddy Combs.

If Lee Greenwood isn't on the list, I would be surprised. all of the " recipients will have been personally selected by Trump, since the staff had no knowledge of the announcement. Also, it is inevitable that the Kennedy Center will be re-named the Trump Center after Congress votes it in.

[quote]President Trump's announcement on Truth Social that the 48th annual Kennedy Center Honors recipients would be announced tomorrow caught Kennedy Center staff off guard, according to a person familiar with the situation who requested anonymity because they fear professional repercussions for speaking out. They told NPR the staff is often "out of the loop" and "worried they won't have enough time to sell tickets and sponsorships."

What about Mel Gibson? He was a racist lunatic before it was fashionable to be a racist lunatic

[quote]A new bill recently introduced in Congress is called the "Make Entertainment Great Again Act," but it focuses narrowly on one particular venue: the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

[quote]Presented by Republican Rep. Bob Onder of Missouri on July 23, the bill would rename the modernist, cream-colored building the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts. A national symbol of the arts, the Kennedy Center has hosted thousands of performances on its seven stages since it opened in 1971. Renaming the venue after President Trump has been under discussion since February, when the president took over the organization's board of trustees.

This exciting announcement is like the run-up to the Oscars! I forgot Epstein all of a sudden!

Why not change the name of Washington DC to Trump FA (fat ass) at this point?.......

When I moved to Washington, I was poor. Driving by the Kennedy Center and the monuments gave me real comfort. Now the exterior is hideously lit, and it’s as depressing to see as the White House or Congress. They took something beautiful that was in no way political and smeared their shit all over it.

Don’t forget me.

And that fat asshole fucked with my roses

EPSTEIN FILES!

Newly minted ICE agent Dean Cain will be checking birth certificates at the door.

If a legit person who deserves the recognition somehow ends up on the list will they attend the ceremony?

Boycott all events up to and including the awards ceremony.

[quote]Newly minted ICE agent Dean Cain will be checking birth certificates at the door.

Dean should be one of the winners given his incredible acting career.

[quote]a person familiar with the situation who requested anonymity because they fear professional repercussions

This person familiar with the situation is a craven coward.

No Dean Cain? Did he get too fat?

No doubt Jim Caviezel will be a recipient.

Big Trump supporter. Goes to visit Trump at Bedminster or Mar A Lago often.

Also a Q-Anon conspiracy believer.

Has funny-man / impressionist Mr. Rich Little been named to the list? Or are they saving the Mark Twain prize for him?

Big Balls will be getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his bravery in the face of horrible D.C. crime lords (this is not a joke…), so anything is possible at this point.

Seriously, will he give one to Liza?

Don't forget Satan.

Stallone.

Besides his lame Trump/Kennedy center bit, there's the fact that they're called the Kennedy Center Honors, not Kennedy Center Awards.

I'm expecting his selections to make a mockery of it like he has been doing with everything else.

And the award for best former call girl goes to...Melania!

“former” R28?

We've got to assume that everyone they announce tomorrow has aready agreed not to refuse the "honor" - right?

MAGAts will claim that a Caviezel award would be just as legitimate as the one for Queen Latifah.

[quote]Seriously, will he give one to Liza?

Liza already hit the fucking roof over what's happening to the Kennedy Center. She released a political statement for the first time in her career. She wouldn't go.

[quote]Earlier this week, my dearest friend in the world, @MichaelFeinsteinsings, sounded a clarion call about what may only be defined as a bigoted attack on the arts. As an ally of the LGBTQ+ community, a human rights advocate, the daughter of two iconic, amazing artists, a career of my own that without contributions from LGBTQ+ geniuses, would have rendered me a singer with few songs, a dancer with few collaborators, mostly naked ON STAGE, acting without scripts and I could go on! My lifetime friend @elizabethtaylor once said… “without gay people there is no entertainment industry.” Long before Elizabeth said it, My Mama and Papa taught me, from my earliest memory to embrace everyone. This year I made new friends when I received a beautiful honor from @rupaulsdragrace and produced @dragthemusical . Guess what kids? Those beautiful, valued, artistic experiences made a few enemies too. Michael’s message of truth shatters my heart into so many pieces. I’m damn mad about what’s going on. Please read “Fear of Queer? by Michael Feinstein” carefully. Become active in solution. Together, we will stop censorship and hate.

[quote]God, I love each and every one of you. I also thank the LGBTQ+ community for always supporting me, my family and my career.

9quote]Always,
Liza

When you piss Liza off, you know it's bad

[quote]When I moved to Washington, I was poor. Driving by the Kennedy Center and the monuments gave me real comfort.

I hear ya; I was from a rural area and here I was in The Big City and it filled me with awe. The KC is especially beautiful when lit up with rainbow colors. Now I drive by it & it just makes me sad, though I know one day it will be lit up again.

The Washington Post is reporting that the names of George Strait, Kiss & Michael Crawford are being mentioned.

WHET The Kennedy Curse? It has been five years since its last occurrence.

Just saying ....

R35, while I'm surprised that Michael Crawford doesn't have one already, I'm surprised that Trump would choose a non-American.

Who decides who the nominees are?

It has happened—where there was a major impact on Amer. culture.

See Led Zeppelin. I don’t think Hello Dolly meets that test ;)

If Michael Crawford is stupid enough to accept, finding performers will be a challenge. They have other singers performing, not the honorees. Any Broadway singer will know to turn this down.

Crawford makes sense since Trump loves those tacky Lloyd Webber/Boublil and Schönberg musicals.

I was wondering if the Englishman isn't Lloyd Webber himself until I remembered that he was honored in 2006.

Here was me thinking Michael Crawford was dead.

I suspect the format will change under Trump, R40.

Trump will play DJ, as at Marlargo.

Sharon Osbourne

R40, Laura Osnes, Nicole Schwerzinger and Zachary Levi are available.

yeah...

Branson, MO is going to have to be closed that night.

David Mamet no doubt.

I wish I had a nickel for every time I've said, "Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse..."

Today was one of those days.

Trump will be a recipient.

I hope no one goes.

Ted Nugent

Sydney Sweeney

Jon Voight

He and Melontits never attended the annual event during his first stolen administration.

I have wanted Liza Minnelli and Johnny to receive a Kennedy Center Honor for as long as they've been around. However, now I would prefer that Liza and Johnny are not touched by the slime and dirt of Trump and instead be left off that piece of shit list. Very sad.

Boycott. Don't watch. the show.

I can see Ann Miller accepting the honor from Trump.

[quote] Boycott. Don't watch. the show.

Beyond that, it is a fundraiser. I would argue that it might actually lose money from the established patrons not showing up this year.

(or the likes of Chick-fil-a and Home Depot make massive donations so Cankles McTacoTits isn't embarrassed)

Besides Fox News personalities, I can’t imagine anyone of note attending this shit show.

[quote]GREAT Nominees for the TRUMP/KENNEDY CENTER, whoops, I mean, KENNEDY CENTER, AWARDS.

And there we go. That's Trump in his truthsocial tweet telling us that he will rename the Kennedy Center.

[quote]Beyond that, it is a fundraiser.

R56. I don't believe that for one second. Trump doesn't do nothing for nothing. With Trump involved, he will be pocketing any money raised, or the funds will find their way into a Super Pac so that Trump will have access to the money.

Remember, Trump and his family stole from a children's cancer charity, and the punishment was that Trump in his family are unable to have anything to do with any charities in the state of New York. Now in Washington, DC, Trump will somehow find a way to steal the money.

Fundraiser, my ass.

[quote] Besides Fox News personalities, I can’t imagine anyone of note attending this shit show.

Thousands of people go to Mar-A-Lardo every month. They will flock to DC to gloat over having conquered the libtard bastion of woeness.

You're spot on R60. The gloating and mocking will be out of control.

R34 " The KC is especially beautiful when lit up with rainbow colors. Now I drive by it & it just makes me sad, though I know one day it will be lit up again. "

Yeah, with swastikas.

[quote] The Kennedy Center Honors Gala is a highly prestigious event celebrating lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts. It also serves a vital role as the Kennedy Center's largest fundraising event, supporting its year-round artistic and educational programs across the nation.

[quote] Given the significant fundraising aspect, access to tickets for the Kennedy Center Honors prioritizes donors who contribute a minimum of $10,000 annually, giving them the first opportunity to purchase tickets.

[quote] Donors contributing between $700 and $9,999 annually are then given the opportunity to purchase any remaining tickets or be placed on a priority waitlist.

Big platinum blonde hair, big lips, big tits and big gaudy tacky Mar-a-Lago gowns will be the fashion statement of the night.

That was then, this is now. Not the same.

i.e. That slutty MAGA Republican women's look that they all wear when most of them are far too old to dress like that R64.

The Maralago crowd is trash. They are not important people.

Maybe the Trumpettes will attend!

Face it kids, it’s going to be hell in America for the next 3.5 years.

And likely well beyond, R69.

[quote]Beyond that, it is a fundraiser. I would argue that it might actually lose money from the established patrons not showing up this year.

Given it's Trump, the whole thing will turn into some kind of shakedown. Don't show up at the "Kennedy Center Honors Kid Rock"? We'll that's 99% tariff for you! No approval for that deal you need approved or maybe ICE will start showing up at your restaurants.

So of course Tim Cook, Zuck and the like will show up & donate bigly

The Barron , he has 2 goes clothes shopping- so I'll will be unnable 2 atend

Too bad Brendad Ickson is squatting in her condo and can't attend the red carpet.

I agree with a previous poster. David Mamet will be on the list.

She really would be in her element R73.

And, notwithstanding his latter day politics, Mamet probably will be among the more meritorious choices we’re gonna get in this era.

True^

I heard Janet Jackson is a shoo-in to be a winner this year.

Who might those honorees be? The Kennedy Center teased the announcement in a social media post Wednesday. “Coming soon,” the post read, “A country music icon, an Englishman, a New York City Rock band, a dance Queen and a multibillion dollar Actor walk into the Kennedy Center Opera House….”

Tammy?

Lee G is a lock

Trump will make it all about himself. Probably will present the medals on stage and turn it into a political event. Fox News will declare it an unprecedented success and Congress will then rename the facilities the Trump Center for the Performing Arts. Look for Dulles International Airport to be renamed for Trump also.

The Trump States of America!

Do we eventually get to strip his and “Melanie’s” names off buildings like they did his condos ?

I know Mamet has disappointingly turned into a Trump fan, but I think that choice would be too high brow for Trump.

This is McDonald's-eating Trump. This is "Cats is the greatest musical evah!" Trump.

It will be people like Michael Crawford, at best.

Live at 11:15 a.m. Eastern

WaPo says three of them are George Strait, Kiss and Michael Crawford

Are the members of Kiss MAGA?

They're rock stars from 50 years ago so probably.

Gene Simmons probably is. It will only be him and Paul Stanley, imo.

KISS before Emmylou Harris! My sides.

I'd be surprised if Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman aren't on the list, Hillman is an open, longtime Trump supporter and I believe McGuinn went Repub some time ago (albeit more moderate). The Byrds are more than overdue and worthy for a KCH, I'd hate to see them get it under the Orange Menace but better late than never.

Jewish rock stars from when Trump was young and hawt! It all adds up

Would Tammy show up for Trump?

Has Charo been deported?

James Woods, of course.

The Center previewed with this tweet:

Maybe the actor is Cruise. Not a terrible choice, nor is George Strait who was probably on the short list for a "normal" Honor anyway.

Between Cruise or Gibson, I'd bet in Gibson.

I'm surprised the "tweet" has a bust of JFK & not Trump.

Tom Cruise might be a douche, but he's not a Trumpster douche. He has donated $$$ to Democrats

That description is so Trump world. "Multi-billion dollar actor"

They should hold the after party in Anacostia, to meet and greet friends and fans.

That’s not the point, though is it? He’s the biggest $maker. That is all.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, ooooooooohh I just scrolled down DL front page, saw the thread title about Trump calling out the National Guard, et al for D.C., and I GET it now!

He KNOWS there will be big protests the day of his New Nazi Kenned, er, TRUMP Center Awards, and wants that shit shut down before it starts.

Makes sense, don't it?

It may be a part of it R104, but all the shit he’s been stirring is to deflect from the Epstein situation .

Live stream

He’s late! Lardass

He’s always late.

This music.. the covered pictures waiting for the reveal.. all so Trump. Gag.

Delayed due to a diaper change.

[quote] He’s late!

His cankles are acting up this morning.

The blithering idiot is true to form.

He goes on and on and on...

The line about Teddy Roosevelt having to be the baby at every christening, the bride at every wedding & the corpse at every funeral applies tenfold to Trump.

Sylvester Stallone, as many here guessed.

Stallone, of course...

That’s low class even for Trump…

Gibson would have been preferable to Stallone, imo. What a shitshow.

Someone shut the old fool up.

Is it going to be all men?

Has he said “We’re going to honor them very strongly”?

Maybe we'll be treated to a dramatic reading of Sly's famous "Cradle da Balls" soliloquy.

All white men r120. You bet.

Gloria Gaynor? Aw, hell no. I’ll be crushed if she accepted.

Nope, got a woman in there.

[quote]All white men

This didn't age well.

Kennedy Right of Center Honors

Is this the first one-hit wonder to be inducted?

Wow, a black female. Mixing it up.

KISS!

Is Gloria Gaynor MAGA?

Well, seems as if Ace and Peter Criss WILL be getting their due alongside Gene and Paul. I can almost go along with the choice for this reason alone. The other two always get ignored.

"We're reversing the decline of this cherished institution". Ha!

It’s not the Village People?

"I know a lot about grass."

Michael Crawford. Huh.

He has one TV show, one film and one musical of note.

And the most recent of which, the musical, is 39 years old.

"I know a lot about grass because I own a lot of golf courses".

"We've ended the woke political programming"

"The finest grasses, I know a lot about grass because I own a lot of golf courses" - typical Trump line.

And this shit doesn't end.

"(Stallone is) one of the biggest names on the Hollywood walk of fame. The only one that is a bigger name on the Hollywood walk of fame is a guy named Donald Trump. I'm on the Hollywood walk of fame, too, if you can believe that one."

He's such an ass.

[quote] Is this the first one-hit wonder to be inducted?

Not a one-hitter. In fact, her Never Can Say Goodbye is, in my opinion, far superior to I Will Survive..

He needs to STFU and die already, the stupid old fool.

If I live to be a 100 years old, I will never understand this monstrous man's appeal.

I bet these lovely people agree with me.

He's laying it all out very clearly. First D.C. then the rest of the country. Dictatorship.

and people eat this shit up.

I'll give him this: he's the most self-aggrandizing president in history.

What does this endless screed on crime have to do with the Kennedy Center Honors?

30 minutes and counting... it never ends.

This is why the media love him—he provides an endless stream of content their lazy asses can just push out as “news.”

Even some MAGAts must be sick of this.

Great list. Now release the Epstein one.

Comparing Apprentice ratings to Academy Awards ratings... JFC...

[quote]Trump will make it all about himself. Probably will present the medals on stage and turn it into a political event

Indeed:

It will be interesting to see how many past honorees will show up.

What kiss ass "journalist" asked that "question" about upcoming shows exceeding expectations?

Grampy rambling on about road toppings and medians. He's really stuck on medians, like he was with low flow shower heads.

Gloria Gaynor is overly religious and has refused to answer whether homosexuality is a sin. I don’t know why anyone would be surprised that she’s inducted.

She courts the gay community for a paycheck.

An overly religious person who is homophobic. Quelle surprise.

It should be Liza and Johnny over EVERYONE.

Who is Johnny?

Sickening.

[quote] Gloria Gaynor is overly religious and has refused to answer whether homosexuality is a sin. I don’t know why anyone would be surprised that she’s inducted.

She is not more or less gay-ambivalent than Barbra, Cher or Bette. She's an 81 year old Black woman raised in the Black church, and yet she enthusiastically sings gay anthems - "I Will Survive" and "I Am What I Am " - to her adoring gay fans at Pride events all over the world. She could find other ways to make money if she were anti-gay.

[quote]It will be interesting to see how many past honorees will show up.

It will be interesting to see how many *current* honorees will show up!

There will be a special tribute to Laura Brannigan by Taylor Dayne.

The good news is that Trump's inevitable rantings will be edited out of CBS's broadcast.

Gene Simmons will show up if you pay his cab fare and toss a buck in his tip bucket.

That grifting cocksucker will do ANYTHING for ANY amount of money. He's the one who monetized the fuck out of KISS, and made sure he got the bulk of the royalties.

[quote]The good news is that Trump's inevitable rantings will be edited out of CBS's broadcast.

Don't bet on it.

Fascinating. All those snubs during his first term created this. Now he has destroyed the honors forever. It will never be looked upon the same.

If Gene Simmons thought he could make money playing the accordian, KISS would have been a polka band.

[quote]The good news is that Trump's inevitable rantings will be edited out of CBS's broadcast.

And his inevitable dismal ratings will be blamed on Nielsen's "fake stats" because "More people watched me host the Trump-Kennedy Honors than watched the Super Bowl. I was the best celebrity on that stage. Even Sly said so. Billions watched me. Rigged Nielsen is going to pay big when I sue them!"

"Damn, the bastard stole my act!"

[quote] Remember, Trump and his family stole from a children's cancer charity, and the punishment was that Trump in his family are unable to have anything to do with any charities in the state of New York.

R59 There’s this big, beautiful thing called an off-shore shell company.

Who will honor whom?

My guess is

Kiss: Sharon Osbourne or Kid Rock

Michael Crawford: Sarah Brightman or Nicole Scherzinger

Gloria Gaynor: Clive Davis or Jessica Simpson

Sly: Gary Sinise or Mel Gibson

George Strait: Lee Greenwood or Blake Shelton

No.

TACO will personally honor them all (except Gaynor).

I wouldn't be surprised if background imagery for the singing of I Will Survive was added & it will be Trump surviving the assassination attempt.

Will Lindseybelle prance out on stage when Orange plays I Will Survive?

It's her second favorite song, after It's Raining Men.

Very real possibility, r175

R173 is on the junk.

Donald, and ONLY DONALD, will present the awards. The fat fuck won't leave the stage all night.

Donald not only will host he will list every imagined wrong done to him since 2016, diss Hillary along with Biden and Kamala...

People, you're in for a longggggggggg night with that fat fuck!

Wondering if the whorish looking Mar-a-lago big titted tramps will all be there.....

I think that's a given R180.

Here's a new member of Trump's shit list.

^ I finally feel compelled to root for Tom Cruise for once

Is that really Tom Cruise in that picture R182?

Looks like he’s morphing into Dustin Hoffman
