Here is an article:

Time magazine rolled out the red carpet Tuesday night for its annual black-tie gala honoring those it deems to be the 100 most interesting people in the world — and politics, naturally, held center stage.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, who appeared on Time’s list for the first time — along with rival Ted Cruz and Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders — was the only White House contender to accept an invite.

Donald and Melania Trump were given one of the best tables in the house, Table 7, where Time’s Chief Content Officer Norm Pearlstine was seated. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was also placed at that table but was a no-show. The Donald did not hear most of the night’s speeches and entertainment as he had to hustle from the Jazz at Lincoln Center venue at Frederick P. Rose Hall to Trump Tower to make a 9 p.m. address after polls closed in the five states holding primaries.

Trump was late arriving but once seated he quickly became the center of attention. He was getting primary updates from CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter and talk show host Charlie Rose — who shared table time with him — as the primary results poured in. “A clean sweep. We won all five,” Trump said before he had to hurry off for his own post primaries press conference.

“I want to stay here so bad,” he said, as he made an early exit.

It meant he missed the traditional toast as well as the song that featured performer Nicki Minaj said she was dedicating “to Donald Trump and (non-attendee) Joe Biden.”

Pundits were sure to keep an eye on Trump to see if he chatted at all with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus over at Table 6 — with whom he has often battled.

Sitting with Priebus was CBS newser Charlie Rose , pediatrician Mona Hanna-Attisha, an early whistleblower in the Flint, Mich., water crisis, and Gael García Bernal, the Golden Globe winner for his role as a conductor in “Mozart in the Jungle.”

Space at the dinner was also given to space — as in astronaut Scott Kelly, who just dropped in after a US-record 342 consecutive days on the International Space Station. Scott said it is “bittersweet” being back on Earth.

Kelly could swap some pilot talk at Table 9 with Time CEO Joe Ripp. Time disclosed last week that Ripp, a licensed pilot, is forced to fly with a co-pilot for safety’s sake.

Also at the table was Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the star of HBO’s “Veep.”

An arm’s-length away at Table 8 was Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, who also had a space connection — her studio was the brand manager of the latest “Star Wars” flick. Kennedy was breaking bread with Time Managing Editor Nancy Gibbs, US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power and Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation.

At Table 10, Caitlyn Jenner was set to hobnob with actress Melissa McCarthy and Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, who designed the dress singer Nicki Minaj was wearing for her performance at the Tuesday night gala.

Mark Kelly, the former astronaut and twin brother of Scott, didn’t have as good a seat as his sibling — but he did get to sit next to his wife, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and at the same table as Alphabet Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt and internet entrepreneur Evan Williams.

Things were quite serious at Table 11, where Dr. Denis Mukwege, a nominee for the Noble Peace Prize for his work treating women who were victims of gang rape in the brutal civil war in the Congo, was seated with “NBC Nightly News” host Lester Holt.

Guests at Table 16 should watch what they say — crusading Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara was at the table, no doubt swapping yarns with table-mate Sergio Moro, the crusading anti-corruption judge in Brazil.

Billionaire David Koch, who prefers to stay low key as a behind-the-scenes political power-broker, got his wish to be low key: He was relegated to the relative Siberia seating of the event, Table 22, where he had to share a bread basket with Media Ink’s Keith Kelly.

A near record 69 past and present honorees were on hand, a spokeswoman said.
