Theo Von was just spotted at this Miami restaurant. Comic had some unlikely companions
Before joining President Donald Trump on his trip to Qatar Thursday to perform for U.S. troops, the comic du jour was in Miami hanging with some famous locals.
That would be POTUS' daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner.
The first daughter shared a picture of the three of them seated at a meal at Casadonna, David Grutman's upscale eatery in the old Miami Women's Club space in Edgewater. We reached out the eatery's reps about when the meal occurred and did not immediately hear back.
'Miami looked good on you,' wrote the mother of three, who lives in nearby Indian Creek Village. 'Come back and visit us soon!'
Vonn reposted the X, joking, 'Y'alls posture is so good. Wth!! Are y'all in spine club or something ??!! I'm built like a damn raccoon. Thanks for the hospitality. Had a blast.'
Had no idea the onetime 'Road Rules' star was pals with the Kushners? Join the club.
We may have to look to Ivanka's half brother, Barron, for the initial introduction to the Louisiana native, 45.
The president said that last year his youngest son recommended he do Von's podcast called 'This Past Weekend' to gain a younger audience in the so called manosphere.
'Dad, you've got to do an interview with a guy named Theo Von,' Trump said in his own remarks Thursday. 'I said, 'Who the hell is Theo Von?''
The one on one episode aired last year while Trump was on the campaign trail, receiving close to 17 million views.

Lewis Capaldi Recalls Terrifying ‘Mental Episode' That Left Him ‘Convulsing' Backstage Mid-Concert
Lewis Capaldi has come a long way since he started working on his mental health a couple of years ago, with the Scottish singer-songwriter revealing that he once had a 'mental episode' that left him 'convulsing' backstage at a show. While guesting on the Tuesday (July 15) episode of Theo Von's This Past Weekend podcast, Capaldi reflected on the tough moments in his career that forced him to confront the fact that he needed help. The musician made headlines in 2023 when he struggled to get through his Glastonbury set that year, but shortly before that happened, he says he had an incident at a concert in Chicago that was 'even worse.' More from Billboard Lewis Capaldi Performs 'Survive,' Says Glastonbury Return Was 'Best Day of My Life' on 'Tonight Show' Djo Scores First Airplay Chart No. 1 With 'Basic Being Basic' Druski Announces Coulda Fest Tour Featuring BigXthaPlug, Young M.A & Soulja Boy: See the Dates 'I couldn't come back on stage and finish the song,' Capaldi told Von of performing in the Windy City. 'I was like, backstage, convulsing and having this crazy panic attack, mental episode. It was really, really bad. It was the first time people at my shows had seen it.' The musician has been open about dealing with mental health issues as well as Tourette's, a disorder that causes difficult-to-control movements and sounds known as tics. In April 2023, Capaldi revealed that his struggles with Tourette's were becoming so severe, he was considering stepping back from music. After his onstage breakdown at Glastonbury two months later, Capaldi did just that. Immediately after stepping off stage at the festival — where fans had helped him get through his set by loudly singing the words for him — the artist knew it would be his last show until he got some help, he told Von. 'When it happened and when it was happening, it was, like, the lowest moment of my life, and it was horrible,' he recalled on the podcast of Glastonbury 2023. 'I had this moment where I was on stage like two, three songs in. I was like, 'This is the last time I'm going to play a gig for a long time. I need to try and get through the rest of the show, but when I come off, I'm done.'' Capaldi is now back and better than ever before after spending the past two years reconnecting with himself, with the star telling Von that therapy and exercise have helped him immensely. This past June, he made a triumphant return to Glastonbury with a surprise set, shortly after which he announced that he'd be donating 734,000 hours of free virtual therapy with BetterHelp inspired by his own mental health journey. While speaking to Von, he gushed that this year's Glastonbury performance was a 'bit of a comeback moment.' 'It was lovely,' he added. 'It was a really special moment.'

After the Paramount merger, could UFC stage a July 4th fight at the White House?
Hours after Paramount and UFC announced a billion-dollar rights deal, Dana White said he had yet to hear from his friend, President Donald Trump, on his thoughts about the fight company's new streaming home. That was fine with White. The UFC CEO was set to travel to Washington on Aug. 28 to meet with Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, to catch up and discuss logistics on the proposed Fourth of July fight card next year at the White House. Trump said last month he wanted to stage a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence. 'It's absolutely going to happen,' White told The Associated Press. 'Think about that, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the UFC will be on the White House south lawn live on CBS.' The idea of cage fights at the White House would have seemed improbable when the Fertitta brothers purchased UFC for $2 million in 2001 and put White in charge of the fledging fight promotion. White helped steer the company into a $4 billion sale in 2016 and broadcast rights deals with Fox and ESPN before landing owner TKO Group's richest one yet — a seven-year deal with Paramount starting in 2026 worth an average of $1.1 billion a year, with all cards on its streaming platform Paramount+ and select numbered events also set to simulcast on CBS. ESPN, Amazon and Netflix and other traditional sports broadcast players seemed more in play for UFC rights — White had previously hinted fights could air across different platforms — but Paramount was a serious contender from the start of the negotiating window. The Paramount and UFC deal came just days after Skydance and Paramount officially closed their $8 billion merger — kicking off the reign of a new entertainment giant after a contentious endeavor to get the transaction over the finish line. White said he was impressed with the vision Skydance CEO David Ellison had for the the global MMA leader early in contract talks and how those plans should blossom now that Ellison is chairman and CEO of Paramount. 'When you talk about Paramount, you talk about David Ellison, they're brilliant businessmen, very aggressive, risk takers,' White said. 'They're right up my alley. These are the kind of guys that I like to be in business with.' The $1.1 billion deals marks a notable jump from the roughly $550 million that ESPN paid each year for UFC coverage today. But UFC's new home on Paramount will simplify offerings for fans — with all content set to be available on Paramount+ (which currently costs between $7.99 and $12.99 a month), rather than various pay-per-view fees. Paramount also said it intends to explore UFC rights outside the U.S. 'as they become available in the future.' UFC matchmakers were set to meet this week to shape what White said would be a loaded debut Paramount card. The UFC boss noted it was still too early to discuss a potential main event for the White House fight night. 'This is a 1-of-1 event,' White said. There are still some moving parts to UFC broadcasts and other television programming it has its hands in as the company moves into the Paramount era. White said there are still moving parts to the deal and that includes potentially finding new homes for 'The Ultimate Fighter,' 'Road To UFC,' and 'Dana White's Contender Series.' It's not necessarily a given the traditional 10 p.m. start time for what were the pay-per-view events would stand, especially on nights cards will also air on CBS. 'We haven't figured that out yet but we will,' White said. And what about the sometimes-contentious issue of fighter pay? Some established fighters have clauses in their contracts that they earn more money the higher the buyrate on their cards. Again, most of those issues are to-be-determined as UFC and Paramount settle in to the new deal — with $1.1 billion headed the fight company's way. 'It will affect fighter pay, big time,' White said. 'From deal-to-deal, fighter pay has grown, too. Every time we win, everybody wins.' Boxer Jake Paul wrote on social media the dying PPV model — which was overpriced for fights as UFC saw a decline in buys because of missing star power in many main events — should give the fighters an increased idea of their worth. 'Every fighter in the UFC now has a clear picture of what the revenue is…no more PPV excuses,' Paul wrote. 'Get your worth boys and girls.' White also scoffed at the idea that the traditional PPV model is dead. There are still UFC cards on pay-per-view the rest of the year through the end of the ESPN contract and White and Saudi Arabia have teamed to launch a new boxing venture that starts next year and could use a PPV home. White, though, is part of the promotional team for the Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford fight in September in Las Vegas that airs on Netflix. 'It's definitely not run it's course,' White said. 'There were guys out there who were interested in pay-per-view and there were guys out there that weren't. Wherever we ended up, that's what we're going to roll with.' White said UFC archival footage 'kills it' in repeat views and those classic bouts also needed a new home once the ESPN deal expires. Just when it seems there's little left for UFC to conquer, White says, there's always more. Why stop at becoming the biggest fight game in the world? Why not rewrite the pecking order in popularity and riches and go for No. 1 in all sports? 'You have the NFL, the NBA, the UFC, and soccer globally,' White said. 'We're coming. We're coming for all of them.'
