UFC is hosting a special event at the White House on Donald Trump’s birthday, and multiple outlets report on which attendees are expected to be present. The coverage notes that the guest list includes VIPs and military-related guests, reflecting the event’s high-profile nature and government setting. At the same time, the reports say several major celebrities who have been associated with invitations are not attending, with the reasons described as non-acceptance rather than any specific public incident.

While the sources align on the overall structure of the attendance—VIPs and military guests participating, and some prominent A-list figures declining—the details provided focus more on who is expected versus who is not, rather than on broader controversy or logistical explanations. Both outlets present the information as a status update on attendance and expectations for the event, emphasizing that participation is mixed and not limited to celebrities. The reports do not indicate that the event’s scheduling or venue changes, focusing instead on the composition of those attending at the White House.
