Trump Says NOW He Doesn’t Want Any Big Stars at His Inauguration –Guess Who Said No? (& One A-Lister Who Said YES!)

Donald Trump is reportedly having a hard time finding any top-tier talent for his inauguration. So, like the boy who didn’t get any presents for Christmas, Emperor Cheeto tweeted defensively Thursday night,

“The so-called ‘A’ list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!“

This came at the same time the Radio City Rockettes were announced as performers but, not all of the Rockettes are excited to perform for the Orange Menace. Rockette Phoebe Pearl wrote on Instagram,

“Finding out that it has been decided for us that Rockettes will be performing at the Presidential inauguration makes me feel embarrassed and disappointed“

She said that Trump’s language about women and assault allegations is

“everything we’re against” and “appalling.“

The Rockettes’ owner said in a statement it was an honor to perform at the inauguration. The Rockettes were sent an email by their union that they were not allowed to boycott the event. According to Broadwayworld.com,

“Everyone is entitled to her own political beliefs, but there is no room for this in the workplace. If you are not full time, you do not have to sign up to do this work. If you are full time, you are obligated.“

“It was announced that at Trump’s inauguration, the National Anthem will be performed by Jackie Evancho, who finished in second place on ‘America’s Got Talent’… though she somehow won ‘America’s Got Talent’ electoral college.” –SNL, Weekend Update

The two acts confirmed at this point are 16-year-old America’s Got Talent 2010 runner-up Jackie Evancho (who has a trans sister, btw) and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. (What no Kid Rock or Kanye?) Garth Brooks, KISS and Andrea Bocelli all said no.

Gay superstar Elton John had a suggestion when it was rumored he might perform,

“Why not ask Ted fucking Nugent? Or one of those fucking country stars? They’ll do it for you.”

The Beach Boys Mike Love is a big supporter and they now say they might haul out their 50 year-old hits. Surfin’ U.S.A.!

Last night, I tweeted out humorist Andy Borowitz‘s perfect line…

“An undocumented foreign performer should sing Trump’s inauguration since it’s a job no American wants to do.“

But Trump nemesis, impersonator and A-list actor Alec Baldwin has volunteered to bring the (White) house down with Highway To Hell. Like it or not, we’re all on it.
