Donald Trump\u2019s original plans for Tom Cruise to receive a Kennedy Center Honor didn\u2019t go as the president hoped.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A spokesman for Cruise did not respond to celebrity.land\u2019s request for comment. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump on Wednesday unveiled the five honorees: disco legend Gloria Gaynor, country singer George Strait, the rock band Kiss, \u201cRocky\u201d actor Sylvester Stallone and actor-singer Michael Crawford.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
