Former NBA star Dennis Rodman says he will travel to Singapore “for the historical summit” between President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, even though Trump says he wasn’t invited. Rodman announced his plans via tweet Friday and thanked the cryptocurrency company PotCoin for sponsoring the trip. Rodman, who is among the few Westerners who have met the North Korean leader, said he would “give whatever support is needed” to his “friends” Trump and Kim.
White House officials have repeatedly said that Rodman would play no official role in the diplomatic negotiations.
“I like him,” Trump said of Rodman.
Josh Groban, Sara Bareilles rely on each other for Tony gig
Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles say they’re glad they’re hosting Sunday’s Tony Awards together, in part because of their banter.
The Broadway veterans say they have been sharing dad jokes and puns while preparing for the telecast, but most of those won’t make it on the air.
Instead they promise a fun show that includes one top secret moment that Groban says will be “incredible.”
Hosting the awards ceremony honoring Broadway’s finest shows and performances is a new experience for both of the entertainers, who happen to be friends.
The show will be broadcast live Sunday on CBS at 7 p.m. CDT.
