The White House Correspondent's Dinner (PHOTOS)

The TIME/CNN/People/Fortune White House Correspondents' cocktail party dinner went down last night in Washington, DC at the Washington Hilton (I was in the area yesterday, and traffic was a grid-lock...Thanks Barry and Shelly!). Many important people were in town for the annual event, and of those people were the likes of Sean Penn, Scarlett Johansson, LaLa and Carmelo Anthony, Mila Kunis, Rosario Dawson, Will.I.Am, Paula Adbdul, Donald and Melania Trump (YES, them!), Bristol Palin, (HUH???), and MORE!

The event was hosted by Seth Meyers and hekicked off the dinner by saying, "It may be a tough room. But as someone who follows politics, I think it’s really exciting to go into a room where people are incredibly well-informed. You can probably make jokes about the minutiae of politics that wouldn’t work on Saturday Night Live.”

Tons of flx from the event under the break....
