It's April 22nd. Welcome to entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI and packed with headlines. President Donald Trump is heading to the White House correspondence dinner on Saturday, April 25th, marking his first time there as president. After boycotting it since taking office, he's prepping a rose for the journalist with help from joke riders, and this year breaks tradition with a mentalist headlining instead of a comedian firing back at him. Trump skipped the event every year from 2017 on, becoming the first sitting president in over 30 years to do so. He attended once before as a celebrity in 2011, when Barack Obama and Seth Meyers roasted him hard over his political rumors and birther. Talk, a moment, some say lit the spark for his run. Large Trump, his daughter-in-law, hyped it up on a podcast this week, calling it a full circle payback and warning reporters to brace for his unfiltered jabs. She said he's got killer material from truth social, and in person, with guest cheering him on to torch the room.

The association switched to mentalist Oz Pearlman after past comedian pickster drama, like firing one earlier this year over old Trump critiques. Trump announced he'd go right after that news, posting about honoring the nation's birthday and making it the biggest ever. With the dinner just days away, all eyes are on how Trump flips the script on the press score. Turning tension into a stage for some sharp-witted revenge.
