When Hollywood and the White House Collide

The White House Correspondents' Dinner, which took place Saturday night in DC, always makes for an interesting red carpet. The event is a strange mix of politicians, New York's media power players, and celebrities from the A list on down to the D list. We're talking President Obama and Kim Kardashian in the same room ("Why is she famous anyway?" Obama joked during his speech). And that makes for some very interesting fashion. Take a look. And watch President Obama's hilarious speech first. He's so good.
