Since taking office, President Donald Trump has made something of a tradition of bucking tradition, including when it comes to which events he’s chosen to attend or host. Most recently, Trump announced that he and First Lady Melania Trump won’t be attending the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in Washington, D.C. — and that’s just the latest. Here’s a running list of other events traditionally attended by presidents that Trump has opted out of.

1. The Kennedy Center Honors

President-elect Donald Trump arrived in Washington, D.C. Thursday to take part in pre-inaugural events just one day before he will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America.

Frank Sinatra – Goodfellas

This Express piece quotes an Empire Magazine interview with Martin Scorsese’s long-time editor Thelma Schoonmaker in which she relates how the original plan was to have Frank Sinatra’s original recording of My Way play over the end credits of modern gangster classic Goodfellas instead of the Sid Vicious cover that was eventually used.

“Sinatra would never let Marty use his music,” explains Schoonmaker, “which is too bad because Marty may...

1:36:43 Sounds like Martha put her own ice in her drink this time, and not chewed it down. She's also dispensed of her tight "Sunday chapel dress" for looser fits. At only 3 outfits, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is surely Elizabeth Taylor's fewest costume changes ever on screen.

“I cannot say enough about how Bob Iger and Alan Horn have understood this thing that is now part of the Disney company. And they’re not trying to Disney-fy it, they’re not doing anything other than, I think, an incredibly smart thing, which is letting Kathleen Kennedy — who is a remarkable person and producer — run and lead Lucasfilm to a place where I think it wants to go. They let us make the movie we wanted to make,” director J.J. Abrams said earlier this month during a one-hour talk (watch below in full), also confirming he has final cut on Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

While that final cut, clocking in at two hours and 16 minutes, is still just under two months away, today brings a new preview. Disney have now released the final trailer for the film, initially premiering on Monday Night Football, along with tickets available worldwide — that is,...

With under two months until the release of a little film titled Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Disney is now gearing up for their marketing onslaught after things have been relatively quiet from their side. In case you missed the debut yesterday, we have high-resolution of both the official theatrical poster and banner image (just click each of the images to download).

Many have wondered about the absence of Luke Skywalker, which sounds like a great surprise to be left for the viewing experience. Also worthy of note is Michael Arndt getting co-writing credit on the screenplay, even though Lawrence Kasdan and J.J. Abrams took over. There’s also Daisy Ridley’s Rey front and center, while Adam Driver‘s Kylo Ren gets top billing after the returning main trio, if you’d like a hint for which of the ensemble will likely get the most screen time.

Check everything out below,...

Along with the just released official poster for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," the film's official site has posted new details about tickets for the film which will go on sale tomorrow immediately after the new trailer premieres.
