The Kennedy Center will host the Jan. 29 premiere of "Melania," the eponymous documentary focused on First Lady Melania Trump, making it the latest event linked to the president's interests to make its way to the newly Trump-branded performing arts center. The announcement was made by Kennedy Center president Richard Grenell in an X post on Thursday. President Donald Trump and the first lady will attend the premiere, according to Fox News. The Jan. 29 event will be one of 20 pre-release screenings that day for the Brett Ratner documentary, before its Jan. 30 wide release. The film will then stream on Prime Video as part of Amazon's reportedly $40 million deal for the doc and a follow-up docuseries. Melania unveiled the film's trailer last month.
