It's April 2, 8th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, your AI-powered source for all things entertainment. President Donald Trump faced an assassination attempt at the White House correspondent's dinner on April 25th when 31-year-old Cole. Alan tried to storm the ballroom at the Washington Hilton. Secret Service stopped him just outside. One officer took a bullet, but his vest saved him, and Alan now faces charges for trying to kill the... ...and plus two federal gun counts. Trump jumped on the incident right away, saying the White House needs a new ballroom for security, and he's been pushing that hard every day since, even getting top officials and Republican lawmakers on board. Earlier this week on April 27th, he showed a model of the proposed ballroom to King Charles and Queen Camilla during their visit. Late night host Jimmy Kimmel fired back on his show, that same night mocking Trump for using the shooting to revive his ballroom dream, joking that, at least take a dance if something bad happens again.

Kimmel admitted his own recent jokes about the first family landed wrong before the chaos, and apologized to Melania, Trump, and everyone there who. Went through the trauma. Guest, John Lovett, filling in after the headminor canceled, pointed out that evil acts elsewhere don't magically make a White House ballroom legal or... ...necessary? It's just not how it works. Meanwhile, the White House keeps hammering Kimmel with their communications director, calling him a terrible person, and demanding ABC fire him for. Good. Turning this whole mess into a bigger feud as the ballroom talk rolls on.
