It’s billed as the hottest ticket in Washington — but the celebrities aren’t biting, according to a new report.
President Donald Trump’s $60 million birthday event, a UFC cage fight on the White House South Lawn set for June 14, has the capital’s power players competing for seats, Vanity Fair reports. Donors, lobbyists, and members of Congress have flooded the White House with requests, the outlet reported, with ringside seats reportedly going to those willing to pay more than $1 million in sponsorships.
But Hollywood appears to be going the other way.
UFC boss Dana White told Time magazine he’d invited a roster of A-listers, including Adam Sandler, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jared Leto, Mario Lopez, and Tom Brady. According to Vanity Fair, few if any, will actually attend, as representatives for The Rock, Sandler, Leto, and Lopez all said they won’t be there.
The reluctance fits a pattern around Trump’s 250th anniversary plans, the magazine noted.
A National Mall concert series fell apart this week after most of its lineup — including a Milli Vanilli singer and Bret Michaels — pulled out, with several citing Trump’s partisanship. Trump responded by proposing to replace it with a MAGA rally.
The event falls on Trump’s 80th birthday, with a guest list curated by Trump himself, as the war in Iran continues.
