On April 27, Donald Trump is ramping up his beef with Jimmy Kimmel, demanding ABC fire him right now. This comes after a shooting outside the White House correspondence dinner hotel, where a 31-year-old suspect named Cole Tomas Allen got nabbed. With a shotgun, handgun, and knives, Trump claims Kimmel's recent joke about Melania Trump as an expectant widow incited the attack. Tonya Trump jumped in first on Monday, calling for ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel live altogether. Trump backed her up on true social, blasting Kimmel's low ratings in that fake video skit with her and their son, Baron. He says the timing was no coincidence, especially since investigators think the shooter-targeted Trump administration folks. People are fired up over this, with Trump pointing to Kimmel's history of mocking him since 2016. Trump's show even got suspended last September, over another edgy joke tied to threats from Trump's FCC pick. No word yet from ABC or Kimmel, on these latest calls to axe the show.

This shooting marks the third time someone's breach Trump's security with a gun this term, after that rally attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania last. July and the golf course scare in September. Other plots, like one's linked to Iran, have been foiled too. Trump's long push to cancel late-night critics, even claiming credit for Stephen Colbert's show wrapping of next month. With no response from Disney or ABC, this feud shows no signs of cooling off amid the heightened threats. That's the story for today, entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI.
