Harrison Ford? Denzel Washington? Lorne Michaels? Neil DeGrasse Tyson?<\/p>\n<p>Nooooooo. Who needs THEM? They\u2019ve been replaced with MUCH bigger stars, the kind of stars no one\u2019s ever seen!<\/p>\n<p>Guests include the honorees rock group KISS, Gloria Gaynor, George Strait, Michael Crawford, and Sylvester Stallone.<\/p>\n<p>That group is D List enough, but new Ken Cen chief Tricky Dick Grenell has some nice surprises for us.<\/p>\n<p>Top of the list is Kelsey Grammer, who is desperate for his own Honor next year. It looks like the former \u201cCheers\u201d and \u201cFrasier\u201d star has brought one of his daughters. Also on hand: Frank Stallone, Sly\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n<p>Also getting paparazzed: Dr. Oz, someone named Mike Farris, and KISS leader Gene Simmons\u2019 wife, Shannon Tweed. The latter is not smiling in the pictures and seems to be straining her leash.<\/p>\n<p>Also part of the D team: actor Neal McDonough (he\u2019s the one who says he got fired from a TV show because he didn\u2019t want to kiss an actress), and low rent Vegas musician Criss Angel \u2014 not be confused with former KISS member Peter Criss, who\u2019s shrunk a bit since leaving the group. <\/p>\n<p>Did I mention David Ellison, son of Trump lackey Billionaire Larry Ellison, new owner of CBS Paramount?<\/p>\n<p>And of course Pam Bondi, and purveyor of War, Pete Hegseth.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Conti, who\u2019s made a fortune from the \u201cRocky\u201d theme, is there. I guess he\u2019s performing the song with the orchestra. <\/p>\n<p>Where are Trump ambassadors Jon Voight and Mel Gibson? <\/p>\n<p>keep refreshing!<\/p>\n<p>Now arriving on the Kennedy Center red carpet: the Chairman of the Kennedy Center, the 45th and 47th President of the United States, and the host for tonight\u2019s 48th Kennedy Center Honors, Donald J. Trump, accompanied by the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9ZndDC0ahx\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/9ZndDC0ahx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Kennedy Center (@kencen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kencen\/status\/1997810260631777661?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December 7, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s time for the red carpet for the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors.
