The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner has swelled from a Saturday night affair to some multiday sequence of events with Hollywood stars and celebrities of all sorts mingling with media executives, political powerhouses and reporters.
President Obama and initially girl Michelle just display up for your dinner, which gets so much consideration since the stars appear and nationwide news outlets whip up publicity - this they know ways to do - as they compete for the large names.
In the line of duty, I sent tweets from events, shamelessly took celeb photographs and misplaced 10 lbs so I could get inside a small black cocktail dress final worn in 1999.
Most vivid image: The dinner is over however the occupants of one of the best-placed tables - George Clooney, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Steven Spielberg, and Time’s Richard Stengel - are not going. Clooney - who makes use of his superstardom to attempt to jolt the world to perform a lot more to quit the killings in Sudan - is locked in animated conversation with Panetta.
They are ignoring the cellular phone camera-wielding gawkers who have shaped a semi-circle around them - viewing as if they were at a zoo.
A real munch: That would be Diane Keaton, definitely gracious.
Some stars that are employed to becoming greatly managed in regards to coping with the press appear a bit shocked to understand that in the dinner, they've voluntarily subjected their selves to getting approached by journalists and superstar hounds they've no control more than.
