George Clooney, Gladys Knight, U2 Get Kennedy Middle Honors from Biden

The celebs have been out and shining vibrant in D.C. this weekend … this as President Biden bestowed lifetime awards on a handful of them who have been honored on the White Home.

George Clooney, Gladys Knight, Bono and the remainder of U2 have been readily available Sunday in our nation’s capital to obtain their Kennedy Middle Honors for contributions to the humanities over the course of their lives … and so they all dressed to impress for the swanky get-together.

Different honorees included composer Tania Leon and Christian singer Amy Grant — all of them lined up for tons of photographs and took within the applause as JB sang their praises. At one level, he even singled out Gladys particularly and made a bit pun a few basic tune of hers.

As for the remainder of the bunch … POTUS known as all of them “actually distinctive” in the course of the reception — noting Clooney’s exception on-camera roles through the years, to not point out his philanthropy. And as for U2 … effectively, let’s simply say Joe’s a fan, going as far as to name them poets of our time.

BTW, it wasn’t simply these celebs who have been in the home … Julia Roberts was there, as was Don Cheadle, Richard Sort, Matt Damon, Sean Penn and others. So, yeah … BIG turnout.

There’s bits of video trickling out from the precise ceremony — however the entire thing was correctly recorded and goes to air in full later this month. It could even embrace performances from a number of the musical acts … time will inform.
