White House Correspondents’ Association President Weijia Jiang announced Saturday that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner would be canceled and rescheduled following a shooting at the event that prompted President Donald Trump to be evacuated.

“Law enforcement has requested that we leave the premises consistent with protocol. [President Donald Trump] wanted to emphasize that nobody was hurt. He and the first lady, the Cabinet, everybody’s safe,” Jiang said.

The crowd cheered at the news of the Cabinet’s safety as Jiang confirmed Trump would be giving a press briefing from the White House after the events of the night, despite wanting to continue the dinner.

“That is not a joke,” Jiang said as the crowd laughed. “And he insists that we will reschedule this event in the next 30 days, and that he wanted to do it tonight. He wanted to continue despite the news, but has to follow security protocol.”

She continued, “I said earlier tonight that journalism is a public service because when there is an emergency, we run to the crisis, not away from it. And on a night when we are thinking about the freedoms in the First Amendment, we must also think about how fragile they are. I saw all of you reporting, and that‘s what we do. Thank God everybody is safe. And thank you for coming together tonight. We will do this again. Thank you.”

Jiang’s comments came after a Truth Social post from Trump about his press conference.

“Law Enforcement has requested that we leave the premises, consistent with protocol, which we will do, immediately. I will be giving a press conference in 30 minutes from the White House Press Briefing Room. The First Lady, plus the Vice President, and all Cabinet members, are in perfect condition. We will be speaking to you in a half an hour. I have spoken with all the representatives in charge of the event, and we will be rescheduling within 30 days,” Trump wrote.

Trump, first lady Melania Trump and the rest of the president’s Cabinet were rushed from the head table after reports of gunfire at the Washington Hilton. The site of the Washington Hilton was also the location of the assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Trump announced last month that he accepted the invitation to attend this year’s dinner, explaining that the country’s 250th anniversary influenced his decision.

Trump’s attendance marked the first time he has been present at the event as president in either term. Trump previously attended the dinner as a private citizen in 2011, when he was famously roasted by then-President Barack Obama.

Trump faced two assassination attempts in 2024, including one in Pennsylvania when an assailant’s bullet grazed his ear.

Anne Hathaway unveiled one of her most dramatic fashion moments yet.

Hathaway delivered a dramatic, high-fashion moment as she posed on the red carpet for her new film “Mother Mary.” The 43-year-old actress wore an intricately designed black gown that blended sheer sensuality with sculptural detail to the London premiere on April 23.

The look featured a striking, web-like bodice crafted from black corded embellishments that formed an ornate, almost gothic pattern across her chest and shoulders. The sheer construction revealed subtle skin beneath, while the neckline plunged into a soft V.

Hathaway’s intense look added to the range of fashion she’s shown during the press tour for “Mother Mary.” At the New York City premiere on April 13, Hathaway embraced a futuristic, sculptural aesthetic on the red carpet, turning heads in a sheer gown that played with light and movement.

The “Devil Wears Prada” star wore a sleeveless, high-neck design crafted from translucent, silvery fabric that caught the light with a subtle iridescent sheen. The semi-sheer construction offered a glimpse of the underlying structure, adding depth and dimension to her look.

Becoming a Mother Mary was a new endeavor for Hathaway, who considered herself to be a choir singer.

“It was a completely new way of singing, and it baffled me for the longest time,” Hathaway said during a Q&A presented by A24 and Spotify.

“It took about two years before I finally cracked it,” she said of the character she built for the film. “So much of it was just studying what other singers did and trying to figure out, frankly, why they sounded so cool.”

Hathaway revealed she studied Beyoncé’s “American Requiem,” a song off her eighth studio album.

“Her technique in that song is so mesmerizing and astonishing — and real,” Hathaway explained. “Just listening to her phraseology, her musicianship, understanding the history of her voice that had led her to be able to make that sound that is so still, that’s so present, I studied that, and I appreciated that Beyoncé can do the runs.”

The “Princess Diaries” star also said she spoke with Charli XCX, who wrote music for the film, about what the life of a pop star was like.

“The person that I spoke to was Charli … I wanted to talk to her about the music, she wrote such amazing music that I was going to perform,” she told People magazine. “But I also just had a lot of questions for her about what her life was like, what the experience of being a pop star was.”

WNBA star Angel Reese appeared on Michelle Obama’s podcast earlier this week and opened up about feeling mistreated by fans and the media with the former first lady.

At one point during the interview, Reese admitted she would rather take a fine than speak to reporters after games.

“The media has not always been great for me. And I’ll take a fine. I’ll catch a fine, especially in a WNBA. I’ll have a fine before I have to go to media and feel like my back is against the wall,” Reese said, while Obama repeatedly expressed agreement.

WNBA players are required by their collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which was just ratified weeks ago so players can get higher salaries, to be available to the media after games.

Failure to adhere to these rules can lead to fines, such as a $10,000 fine for skipping required sessions.

Obama’s brother and former college basketball player Craig Robinson, who co-hosts the podcast, told Reese during the interview that the sports media tries to “manufacture some stuff.”

“Sports is like reality TV. The media wants to manufacture some stuff. And I just want you to know that I noticed how you’ve handled yourself, and it has been absolutely with aplomb,” Robinson said.

Reese later said she likes to turn her phone off when she arrives home after Obama asked her how she stays sane.

“I love being able just to come home and turn my phone off and just relax,” Reese said. “I think the maturity of just understanding like social media isn’t real. … Years prior, I would comment back at things and let things continue to bother me.”

Reese claimed she can’t even “go to the grocery store” anymore.

Obama previously commented on the attention surrounding Reese and her longtime rival Caitlin Clark in a podcast appearance last year.

During an August appearance on the podcast “All the Smoke with Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson,” Obama spoke during a group discussion about the impact of the Clark-Reese drama on the WNBA’s popularity, the impact on the players’ well-being and “hate” involved.

“I think the tough thing is the social media element to it. But that’s true across the board. I mean, we’ve talked about this on our show; it just takes a normal occurrence. These young kids today, what they have to go through, what they have to be able to withstand, because social media is such a huge part of the world,” Obama said. 

“There’s the hate. But now the hate is in your room, on your phone with you all the time. And you can’t, for whatever reason, tell these kids to turn it off, because they’re making their living that way. I mean, now they are expected to stay engaged. 

“So, I think that makes it feel even worse. But I think, as you point out, that’s happening in sports across gender. It’s just harder not to withstand other people’s horrible, horrible opinions.” 

Obama, like her brother, previously compared ESPN to reality TV during an episode of her brother’s podcast “IMO” in July.

“It’s all a sociological study. They think that sports is better reality TV, I’m like, ‘It’s the same thing.’ If I listen to ESPN for an hour, it’s like watching the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ you know?” Obama said. “It’s the same drama, and they’re yelling at each other and they don’t get along, you know?”
