WILSON, ROSS & SCORSESE NAMED KENNEDY CENTER HONOUREES
BEACH BOYS star BRIAN WILSON, DIANA ROSS, funnyman STEVE MARTIN and moviemaker MARTIN SCORSESE are to receive Kennedy Center Honors for their influence on U.S. culture.
The highest honour for an American performer or artist, the honours will be presented during a gala at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. in December (07).
President George W. Bush will present the 2007 honourees with their accolades.
Last year’s (06) Kennedy Center Honors gala was overshadowed by Jessica Simpson, who forgot the words to a Dolly Parton tribute. Parton, Lord Lloyd Webber and Steven Spielberg were among those honoured.
