J.D. Vance was met by a chorus of boos as he took his seat at Washington’s Kennedy Center on Thursday night … following President Donald Trump’s move to appoint himself as chairman of the famous institution.

Check out the video … Vance is seen stepping into his box with the second lady, Usha Vance. They are welcomed by one boo … and then another … and then several more as the room realizes his presence. One person is even heard yelling, “Kill the lights!” to get him out of view.

Vance appears unfazed by the hate — which lasted about 30 seconds according to the video — taking a sip of his drink before waving to the crowd with a big grin.

The VP and his wife joined other patrons to watch the National Symphony Orchestra — which has been performing at the Kennedy Center since it opened in 1971 — featuring soloist Leonidas Kavakos.

In February, Trump stunningly announced he would take control of the iconic performing arts center amid concerns over its programming — including drag shows — claiming that he wants to “make sure that it’s good and it’s not going to be woke.”

He previously admitted he had never been to a single show at the Kennedy Center because there was nothing that interested him.

Trump was formally elected chairman of the board on Feb. 12 — replacing former Chair David M. Rubensteinafter. He also terminated its longtime president, Deborah F. Rutter, and purged Biden-appointed board members … swapping them with his own picks, including Usha Vance.

Celebrities have been pushing back … with actress Issa Rae canceling her sold-out show “An Evening with Issa Rae” in February and producer Jeffrey Seller pulling Broadway’s smash hit “Hamilton” from its slated 2026 run at the venue. Shonda Rhimes also resigned from the Kennedy Center Board.

Before this snackin’ kid in her red tutu turned into a movie star, she was just rockin’ her army green tee, runnin’ the streets of the concrete jungle and jumpstarting her acting career when she was just 9 years old.

Later this year, she will be starring in the horror film “Fear Street: Prom Queen,” and if you’ve watched “A Bad Moms Christmas” with Mila Kunis, you probably saw this brunette kiddo.

St. Patrick’s Day may be just around the corner, but this sweetie in green is in a no-pinch zone!

“Come on Barbie let’s go party!”

Jamien Sherwood celebrated his new New York Jets contract in the most linebacker way possible … by engorging on an enormous cut of steak!

TMZ Sports has learned … just two days after the 25-year-old agreed to sign a new $45 million deal with the Jets — he and some pals hit up the world-renowned Benjamin Prime in NYC to rejoice.

We’re told the footballer and his group all feasted on some signature porterhouses — which Sherwood enjoyed with a medium temp.

As for the mood — those at the restaurant say Sherwood and his friends were very friendly and approachable.

This, of course, is the second time a New York superstar has hit up the famed eatery to celebrate a momentous contract … you’ll recall, back in December, Juan Soto also chowed down on some meat and champagne at the restaurant after signing his $756 million Mets pact.

There’s a good chance both make it back, too … as after putting pen to paper — the guys are now locked into contracts with their respective New York franchises for the foreseeable future.
