Love Reese's earrings!

Zooey's getting too old to pull off her cutie-pie shtick. She needs to throw some age-appropriate sophistication in with her hip and natural vibe.

Dogs are an absolute good.

Frufra said...

Oh, and I love Charlize's look - sophisticated and comfortable. You could actually eat dinner in that dress!

alyssastinks said...

Non-American here, what is the White House Correspondents dinner and why are there so many celebrities and Kardashians there?

Laura said...

im american and i am wondering that same thing

Glitter said...

Why in the bloody hell is that Jenner woman there? Her daughter, too. That event lost a lot of luster with some of those invitees.

Unknown said...

Lindsey cleans up quite well. She looked beautiful!

Glitter said...

And since when did this even warrant a red carpet? Sheesh.

cheesegrater15 said...

Zooey, please. Save that pose for Taylor Swift.

Blohan's tanner must be cooked in.

Love that Kimmel and Obama were making cracks about Kim Kuntrashian. That's how it started with Parisite.

Anonymous said...

I'm with the others who wonder why there are so many stars there now. And I'm American.

I've never noticed Rosario's boobs before in my life until now.

Maja With a J said...

Not a flattering look on Rosario Dawson. She is a gorgeous woman, but that dress looks like it's two sizes too small for her.

Momster said...

Charlize is a goddess.

Aw shucks, Zooey.

Ginnifer can pull off napkins from her dress while she eats.

Love Dakota, but she dresses like a much older woman. I'm not saying she has to put hte boobs out ala Rosario, but I'd love to see her in some brighter, partier dresses.

nettalovesrobin said...

Rosario got new tits?! Also i dont know what the dinner is for either.

Frufra said...

@ Maja and netta - word. Both thoughts crossed my mind too. Lord, she's got the bolt-ons on full display!

SusanB said...

We watched the speeches last night on Cspan. When Kimmel talked about the K's, we laughed but kind of cringed since they were sitting right there and he was sort of brutal.

Agree about the celebrities being there - how about taking some ordinary citizens as the newspeople's guests? If I were invited, I'd remember it the rest of my life - it's just another photo op to a lot of these people who couldn't name their own rep or senator if they tried.

Pink_Palace said...

Somehow Rosario and Lindsey's dresses got mixed up at the last minute. OMG, her face is so aged but dare I say she looks the best she has looked in years!! And Rosario - why???????

Rebecca said...

I like Lindsey's dress, but she still looks like a trainwreck. Sad.

Henriette said...

@alyssastinks
The White House Correspondents Dinner is just that, a get-together for the journalists who cover the White House. There are journalists who ONLY cover the White House, and you can see those journalists asking the president or his press adviser questions.

As a courtesy, the president is always invited to the dinner.

RenoBlondee said...

Y'all are too hard on Zooey. That's just her. She looks great.

pretzel logic said...

I think Uggie has more class than all of these famewhores put together.

yodelay said...

So dissappointed in Rosario! She looked great the way she was.

Beth said...

Holy boobage, Rosario!

MISCH said...

Uggie is adorable.
Charlize is beautiful
Ditto on the K-clan & Lindsay why are they there ?

Sean said...

Rosario has always had enormous breasts. I can't believe people didn't notice those before.

That said, Charlise wins. Wow

RenoBlondee said...

I do not like Charlize's gown. At all.

Nessie said...

OMG Uggie is so cute!!!

Nicola said...

Yeah, I remember watching the scene in Clerks 2 when Rosario is dancing on roof, holding onto my own boobs because all that jumping around looked painful! She's definitely naturally blessed :p

ChasingHeaven said...

KRIS JENNER. SERIOUSLY?! KRIS JENNER??? UGH.

Opie said...

Where is the Blohan acting obnoxious stories? Dish!

ForSure said...

The WHCD used to be a very dry, boring affair that almost no one paid attention to. I think it was during the Clinton Presidency that someone got the idea to ask a comedian to host it, then CSPAN asked to broadcast it. Once the comedians stuck as 'hosts' it became hip, and the Clinton connection to Hollywood brought a few 'stars' in. With more media exposure and social media, it's became like the DC answer to the Oscars and everyone wanted to go, and the ballroom was expanded, etc, etc, etc.

The White House does not control the guest list (although they can of course invite some guests), the Correspondents Assoc. does and it was Greta Van Sustern who invited Lohan. Not sure who invited the Kartrashians. I'm sure the Fox actors were brought along by Fox News Channel, ABC probably brought a few of their actors, and so on.

It's affectionately called Nerd Prom, but I think it's gone beyond that. The 'nerds' are completely overshadowed by the celebs now.

Anonymous said...

I don't think Lindsay looks beautiful, I think she looks like a cheap whore. And we all know she's more expensive than that. This does not seem like the kind of event where braless side boob is appropriate.

The Kardassians? I just can't look at them.

Just a bunch of overly entitled people sucking on their entitlement. Bah.

seaward said...

Rosario's boobs have not always been that big. She was braless throughout Death Proof, and they were nowhere near this size then.

The last couple of pictures of Lindsay's face I've seen...what is going on? It looks like she got cheek implants, but I can't figure out if it's that or something else she did that just makes it look that way.

Scarlett said...

Fox News invited Logan and Kardashian because, well, they are a trashy news station so they stick with inviting their own kind. Sophia should have had a floor length gown on. Short is inappropriate for this event.

EmEyeKay said...

@seaward, that's what I was thinking about - Rosario's boobs in Death Proof. They did NOT look like they do now. Maybe it's an extreme pushup bra? I think Rosario is smoking hot, but not in this picture. Really hope she didn't get a boob job.

Lindsay can get dressed up and have prettier hair, etc., but the porn star mouth kinda ruins it. She reminds me of a blow up sex doll.

The dresses aren't doing it for me (except Lindsay's, how ironic).

anita_mark said...

That's just kind of embarrassing (the whole bringing celebrities to this). And inviting the Kardashians just validates their perceived importance. Le sigh.

Scarlett said...

Lohan not Logan. Damn phone!

Sherry said...

Thanks FS. As aother American reader I wasn't clear on why all the celebs were there either. Seems to be heavily weighted with female celebs but not a lot of men or is those just the pictures we get to see?

Whoa Rosario! Massive boobage. Maybe she's anglinging for a rich politcian.

Absolutely no reason for the Kartrashians to be at any important events. Am I the only one who thinks, given the chance, Pimp Mama would throw Kim under a train. To be the most famous one in the family?

Henriette said...

Fox News has been inviting guests who grate on the president because they are very right wing. I think last year it was Donald Trump.

Redd Penny said...

The WHCD has been going on since the 20s. The White House Correspondents Association runs it, gives some awards away to reporters, etc. It should be like a Lions Club dinner - and essentially was until the 80s. Someone brought Fawn Hall (Ollie North's secretary) one year; the next year someone else brought Donna Rice (Gary Hart's fling), and it went on from there.

The celebrities are often split between the politically-inclined like Clooney or Costner and the hot names in the rags at the moment, with an occasional Oscar-winner thrown in. It's very recent for it to look like the Emmys there.

Lindsay's dress was beautiful. Tweeters seemed to think she was overwhelmed and perhaps over-served. She missed her 1pm flight on Friday to D.C., but took the red-eye. Smart to give her plenty of time to arrive.

The President has come since the 20s, and the usual entertainment is a comedian but not always. The year Michael Kelly and David Bloom were killed in Iraq - both formally D.C. reporters - they had Ray Charles instead. In 2007 the dinner was right after the VA Tech shootings and the roast-y parts were toned down. Sometimes the comedians sharpen their rapiers a little too sharp for an 'inside baseball' dinner at the Hilton, and sometimes they are bested by the Presidents themselves.

There was a charity brunch beforehand, and of course after-parties. At the MSNBC party Rachel Maddow was tending bar.

So, yeah, D.C. is Hollywood for ugly people who like to bring the pretty people to party with them. And maybe some mindless ones to make themselves feel smarter. As FS said, the nerd prom.

Redd Penny said...

*formerly, sorry.

Not A Ninny said...

Since when did the WHCD become such a boob parade? And no, I'm not talking about the Fox News contingent.

Well, FS and Redd Penny, you know your shit.

Rosario Dawson was that buxom from her earliest days in the biz. That look required nothing more than a good push-up and slutty-cut dress.

Which is sort of the point. This is an event for serious, professional journalists, many of whom are women! How did it become a vamp parade for Hollywood T&A?

poovey-tunt said...

Sofia might be a bit underdressed - who knows what the non-celeb ladies were wearing - but I think she looks great. Going for something a bit toned down, without, you know, trying to look like a nun (although that'd be fun to see her try to pull off) suits her.

warmislandsun said...

Anna Paquin is perfectly radiant - just beautiful.

auntliddy said...

What u said. I wld love to go!!!!

auntliddy said...

She all but says that in her "book."

auntliddy said...

Mama kris looks awful, esp with hair pulled back. If she didnt try to fight her age. , but age gracefully she wld look so much better. Lilo is dead woman wakling. Anna paquin- would it kill her to use some blush? Rosarios crooked boobs are disconcerting to look at. I still dont get how these celebs belong there. Greta bought Lilo, which points up what an ass shes become since on fox, which of course is Assclown Central.

Anotheramy said...

I have also heard that some corespondents complete with each other to bring the most inappropriate guest, explaining the Kartrashians and LiLo.

MiVidaCoca said...

As Lindsays face deflates she, as someone put it in earlier comments cleans up well. Unfortunate angle on the Kardashian photo, Kim looks like shes pregnant! Nothing about that vapid cunt or that twat of a mother is effortless, everything is so well rehearsed, desperate for approval and acknoledgement it makes me sick..

Agent**It said...

Uggie for President !

CarolMR said...

Why has the WHCD been taken over by so many celebs? Aren't there enough annual awards shows to give them the exposure they crave?

Sherry said...

Oh sweetie....Please tell me you didn't pay for that book. What did Pimp Mama say?

Sherry said...

Hells YEAH!

mooshki said...

Rosario did have great boobs, why would she do this to them? (That is not just a bra, no way, no day.) Maybe she needed a lift and decided to stuff 'em as long as she was under? Very disappointing.

Lindsay still has the face of a 40/50 year old. And her skin always looks dirty. But at least her hair looks good - she would look horrific with the old fried blonde.

Reese did a good job of finding a dress to distract from her belly.

No matter what Kim K. does, she always looks a bit trashy. And she has seriously over-threaded her hairline; it looks unnatural now.

Dakota is beautiful - she's lucky she didn't lose her looks as so many cute kids do.

If Ginnifer had a sleek skirt instead of that frothy mess, she would've looked exquisite.

cheesegrater15 said...

Fox "News" invited Blohan and the Kuntrashians as a passive-aggressive "fuck you" to the President.

Wasn't there a year that nobody from MSNBC was invited when Bush was in office?

Giulia said...

Lindsay looks like a Disney villain in that dress.

Rosario... What on earth was she thinking?

Sofia V., you're not 16 any more.

Uggie looks great.

hamster party said...

Greta van Susteren invited the trash (Lohan & Kardashians) because Susteren and her husband are scientologists looking to recruit!!

lutefisk said...

I think Rosario must have new implants that haven't settled in yet. I love Sofia's dress. It is gorgeous.

Popcorn Sutton said...

I don't think Lindsay looks good here, at all. Her dress needs to be steamed and her makeup is a mess. Too dark in some spots, too light in others. I will say that she did make it to the event so that is an accomplishment in itself.

lazyday603 said...

When did "Age Appropriate" drop into the language & how long will it be before it goes away?

anita_mark said...

Check out the photos of LiLo on Dlisted. Her dress looks cheap. Rosario's breasts do look fake. They are too round and high. Maybe if she was 20 but she's not.

parissucksliterally said...

Mama Kris needs a BRA and some sleeves to cover her fleshy old lady arms.

Kim wore velvet - more appropriate for winter, but she's a moron with no taste.

Lohan's dress is okay, but I think it is hilarious that her lawyer was there to babysit her.

UGGIE was the best looking dude there.

Lauren Anna said...

No one looks good here. I can't believe some people are saying Lindsay looks good, her dress looks like a prom dress from the 90's!!

The dog is the only one who is worth looking at here!

Geebz said...

Agree completely w/RenoBlondie!

Geebz said...

Charlize's dress is dreadful and ill-fitting.

McSpanky said...

Wrong, wrong, this is so wrong. Oh Fourth Estate what new abomination have you birthed? Will the last institution to abandon its standards please close the democracy. Going now to stab self with pica pole.

Bit dams said...

Sofia Vergara is SO thin! That's new, right?

canadachick said...

Rosaria looks pregnant

makeupbynumbers said...

Lindsay Lohan looks like she got her dress off the clearance rack at David's Bridal.

Sarah J. MacManus said...

I wish these Hollywood goons would stay out of my politics.

It's one thing if known activists show up (George Clooney), but we really don't need D-list reality pukes. Washington is messed up enough.

CarolMR said...

Vicki Cupper, no, there was never a year that MSNBC was not invited under President Bush's two terms. The White House Correspondents Association is an association of journalists who invite all journalists who cover the WH to their WHC Dinner. In fact, the White House Correspondents Assoc. was created so that politicians couldn't pick and choose which journalists cover the WH. Plese do a little research before you make such biased statemetns.

J-Mo said...

Rosario has always had a big bust but those are NOT natural.
I hope Zooey didn't tilt her head in all the photos. I haven't seen her show yet and want to like her but I saw a commercial of clips and it doesn't look promising, looks like she can be rather annoying but I hope it was the editing of the promo.
I think Charlize's dress is really boring! good idea, poor execution.
Lindsay looks dipped in fake.
