For his final act as hipster president, Barack Obama is hosting an all-star party at the White House, and trolling Donald Trump in the process. As the president-elect struggles to find literally anyone willing to appear at his inauguration, a whole bunch of A-listers will gather at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Friday night to celebrate the end of the current president’s term — and possibly the final days of Earth’s existence.

According to The Washington Post, Barack and Michelle are throwing a “grown up party” for some of their closet and coolest friends, including Beyoncé, Jay Z, Stevie Wonder, Bradley Cooper, and JJ Abrams. Chance the Rapper confirmed his attendance on Twitter, and Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Eddie Vedder, and David Letterman are also rumored to be guests.

It’s unclear what exactly Barack and Michelle mean by a “grown up party,” though hopefully it involves Biden doing keg stands and Beyoncé letting loose an army of stink bugs in the residence.

    Haha. The Fox-Newsian way of trying to find something to paint Obama in a bad light.

    But all these good and progressive things Obama tried to accompl..... BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DROOOOOONES (...and his black!)!

    But have fun with Trump who will set the the US and the fight of climate change back X years. I bet he has cooler parties too?

    Do they usually show some of the performances from these parties? If Eddie performs?

    I don't think his supporters are too worried about a D.C. party. More concerned about jobs, terrorism, healthcare, immigration....

    All they are concerned with is $$ and a white only populist movement. Just look at his cabinet selections - scary shit

    They should be worried about that. They don't have a plan for any of those issues mentioned.

    This. My first thought was I can't believe Ed signed it.

    Dude is clearly reselling it. Big incentive to be out that late when you can put it on eBay for a grand.

    How does someone even know eddie is in Washington DC at the white house on a random saturday night? And then is able to produce a tambo?

    I don't think I would like being famous... just give me the cash lol

    It'd be hard not to gain a bleak perspective on humanity signing that tambourine: "Really? You're really here at 430am in the hopes I'd scribble my name on this tambourine you used your child to get for you?"
