Republicans propose bill to rename the Kennedy Center to the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts
Republican Representative Bob Onder has proposed a bill to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., after President Donald Trump. The proposed legislation, titled the 'Make Entertainment Great Again Act,' cites President Trump as a significant cultural icon and patron of the arts. This bill follows a separate amendment, introduced by Republican Representative Mike Simpson, to rename the Kennedy Center's Opera House after First Lady Melania Trump, which passed the House Appropriations Committee 33-25. President Trump recently replaced members of the Kennedy Center's board and became its chairman, stating his intention to ensure the institution was 'not going to be woke.' John F. Kennedy's grandson, Jack Schlossberg, has criticized these renaming efforts, suggesting President Trump is 'obsessed with being bigger than JFK.'

Julia Roberts' nepo baby niece Emma compares offseason in the Hamptons to Stephen King's The Shining
has compared offseason in the Hamptons to Stephen King's classic horror novel The Shining. The 34-year-old Scream Queens alumna — whose secret hobby was recently revealed — opened up about the years she has spent at the popular seaside town for her latest cover story for Modern Luxury. The star has often been spotted in the Hamptons, whether that be at a star-studded event or enjoying lowkey outings. Emma — who is the niece of Julia Roberts — recalled 'coming out here all the time' to visit her mom Kelly Cunningham who now lives in the Hamptons full time. 'Fifteen years ago, in the winter, it was like The Shining sometimes out here,' the actress told the outlet. 'And now it's like summer all year, which is so beautiful to see . . . I've fallen more and more in love with it as the years have gone on — especially after having my son. I see the Hamptons in a whole different light through his eyes, which is so magical.' During her summers in the Hamptons, Emma brings along a few good books to read while accompanied by her son Rhodes. She shares the four-year-old with ex, the actor Garrett Hedlund, whom she dated from 2019 until their split in 2022. Roberts is now engaged to the actor Cody John. 'I love Sagg Main Beach. It's kind of my routine in the summer — I'll take my son to camp and bring my book with me to the beach and just sit by myself for an hour,' she said. 'There's nothing like it.' Roberts sounded enthused about the people and 'community' in the Hamptons during her conversation. 'It just feels more like a community way of life out here — which, to me, is always more inspiring. It makes me want to read more, makes me want to cook more,' she admitted. Emma has been an avid reader for many years, and even launched her own book club Belletrist in 2017 with her pal Karah Preiss. Earlier this month, she made an appearance at the Avaline x Stella McCartney gathering in East Hampton. The mom-of-one dressed for the occasion in a white halter-styled minidress, as well as a pair of white shoes with chunky soles. Her reddish locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. And last month in June, Emma put on a stylish display in Montauk, which borders the Hamptons. She donned a black, sleeveless dress with a fashionable belt around the waistline while stopping by the Michael Kors x Montauk Yacht Club event. Aside from enjoying the summer weather in the Hamptons, the beauty has a number of projects up her sleeve, including the upcoming romantic comedy Marriage Material which is also starring comedian Matt Rife, per Variety. The movie is produced by BuzzFeed Studios, and the studio president Richard Alan Reid stated back in May: 'Marriage Material is a fresh, fiercely funny romantic comedy with an undeniable heart. 'Emma and Matt are a comedy duo that audiences worldwide will enjoy,' Reid continued. 'We're delighted to be partnered with Capstone Studios, and believe that with its bold humor, irresistible charm, and modern twist on love, Marriage Material is poised to become a global crowd-pleaser.' Last year, she also appeared in the 12th season of American Horror Story alongside Kim Kardashian. 'Getting to work with Kim was so much fun because we passed each other growing up in Calabasas together,' Emma told Modern Luxury. The pair are now working on the upcoming Netflix series titled Calabasas, which the two stars are executive producers on, per Deadline. 'That led us to another project we have in development, a TV show called Calabasas, based on the memoir If You Lived Here You'd Be Famous by Now,' Roberts said. 'We're turning that into a show with Netflix, so that will be really fun.' In an interview with Elle from February, Emma discussed the importance of having balancing when it comes to working in the entertainment industry. 'I think it's really important to have a life outside of work — to read things and have experiences that aren't work related. I think this actually makes the work better when you pick it back up again.' The star added, 'I really try to give my personal life as much love as my work life. 'As someone in the industry, I think it's easy to self-isolate for the sake of a job, but losing touch with the real world is where you get yourself in trouble,' she said. And while enjoying being a mom to son Rhodes — who turns five in December — Emma also talked about her self-care. 'Self-care for me is about unplugging from electronics,' she said. 'I love to do bath and bed routines with my son and then take some time for myself. That usually involves a face mask and a book.'
