DISAPPEARING ACT--MENTALIST OZ PERLMAN WON'T APPEAR ON KIMMEL

Mentalist Oz Pearlman won’t appear on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ tonight after WHCD shooting, Melania Trump ‘widow’ quip--Pearlman’s apparent decision to back out comes two days after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, where the entertainer was set to perform magic tricks for the commander-in-chief and attendees — and hours after President Trump and first lady Melania Trump both called for Kimmel’s firing over a “hateful” monologue. Jimmy Kimmel, 58, mocked the dinner during a sketch on his show last week, where he delivered a fake speech in which he said: “Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.” MORE AT Mentalist Oz Pearlman won't appear on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after WHCD shooting, Melania Trump 'widow' quip

AT LAST--CHARGED WITH TRYING TO ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT TRUMP--COLE ALLEN

Breaking--WASHINGTON — The suspected White House Correspondents Dinner shooter Cole Allen appeared in court Monday where prosecutors announced they were charging him with trying to assassinate President Trump.

The 31-year-old accused madman spoke loudly and confidently answering a judge’s questions in federal court in Washington DC as he was hit with the charges of attempted assassination of a president, transportation of a firearm across state lines to commit a felony and discharging a gun.  Allen — who walked into the courtroom with a somber look and wearing a blue jail jumpsuit — answered the judge when asked his name, loudly proclaiming: “Cole Tomas Allen.” MORE AT WHCD shooting suspect Cole Allen charged with trying assassinate President Trump
