Desperate for A-List talent at the innauguration, they're now offering ambassadorships.

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is struggling so hard to book A-list performers for his inaugural festivities that it offered ambassadorships to at least two talent bookers if they could deliver marquee names, the bookers told TheWrap.

The bookers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said they were approached by members of Trump’s Presidential Inaugural Committee in recent weeks with offers of cash or even plush diplomatic posts in exchange for locking in singers.

The first insider said he was “shocked” at the proposal: “Never in a million years have I heard something so crazy,” he said. “That was the moment I almost dropped the phone.”

I think they'll be lucky to scrape the bottom of the C-List. Nobody wants to be linked to that buffoon.

Trump would be resigning inside of two minutes of my commencing thus.

I really have a crappy singing voice.

Both of my sons, as soon as they learned to talk, one of the first things each one said was, "Please mommy, don't sing. It hurts my ears."

I have an entirely forgettable voice. He won't have to listen to it if I am in Paris.

After all, he sang the theme song for Walker, Texas Ranger ("The eyes of the Donald are upon you...&quot . He could even end his performance with a few roundhouse kicks, in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion.
