That’s how Jimmy Kimmel kicked off his hilarious 25-minute speech at last night’s White House Correspondents Dinner, an annual event that brings reporters together with celebrities and features a humor-based segment by both an emcee and the President himself.
You can follow this link to watch Obama lay into Mitt Romney, Donald Trump and even himself – and then you can check out the following video to see Kimmel go off on Sofia Vergara’s cleavage; Obama’s ears; the Kardashians; the Secret Service scandal and much more.
Meghan McCain is bashing Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren on Twitter for inviting Lindsay Lohan to this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
Not just for the sake of hating on Lohan, a la Rosie O’Donnell.
“Let me get this straight,” Meghan McCain, 27, tweeted. “Greta Van Susteren is bringing Lindsay Lohan to the WHC Dinner but has a moral offense to Louie C.K?”
In March, Van Susteren called for a boycott of the Radio/TV Correspondence Dinner over comedian C.K.’s past controversial statements about women.
“The headliner of this year’s Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner is “comedian” Louis C.K. Comedian? I don’t think so. Pig? yes,” she wrote.
“He uses filthy language about women. Yes, the C word…and yes, even to describe a woman candidate for Vice President of the United States. It isn’t just Governor Palin he denigrates. He denigrates all women and looks to the crowd to laugh.”
Apparently Megs isn’t offended … except by Greta. The daughter of U.S. Sen. John McCain may not be crazy about Lindsay attending, but she’s still going.
The Republican blogger, columnist and author Tweeted that she’s “headed to DC for the nerd prom.” Just hope they don’t seat her with Greta or LiLo.
Dear Adam Brock, do not ever refer to yourself again as “white chocolate.”
But do keep singing like you did in Hollywood last night. You have serious season 11 potential!
This 27-year old from Pennsylvania now resides in Houston, PA and works as the creative arts director at the Central Assembly of God Church there. He has a wife, a nine-month old daughter and a large black woman trapped inside his vocal chords. Wait… what?!?
Indeed, Brock has said that on multiple occasions and we guess we can see what he means, based on this rendition of “Georgia on My Mind.” We’d go with Joe Cocker more than Aretha Franklin, but still.
Brock is off to Vegas to perform with other contestants last night who advanced to the next round. Among them: Joshua Ledet, Reed Grimm, Jen Hirsch and Shannon Magrane.
Kristen Stewart is already the center of the film universe with Breaking Dawn premiering this weekend, but Snow White and the Huntsman, with the Twilight star as the title character, is shaping up to be an epic film event in an own right.
Three new posters have debuted, featuring Stewart as the fairest (and the fiercest) of them all, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, the famed Huntsman, and the incredible Charlize Theron as the evilest of Evil Queens. Click to enlarge each below:
This is not to be confused with the other Snow White film due out next year starring Julia Roberts and Lily Collins (see the more family friendly Mirror, Mirror trailer). Huntsman promises to bring the action, mystery and suspense.
Talk is cheap. Or, at least, not as illuminating as actual photos.
Soon after Kristen Stewart and co-stars spoke to Comic-Con fans about their roles in next year’s Snow White and the Huntsman, Universal has released a few promotional shots of various cast members taking in various iconic fairy tale characters.
It looks like Stewart is leaving Bella Swan far behind, for example:
Check out a photo of Theron as The Evil Queen NOW and let us know: Will you go see Snow White and the Huntsman?
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are moving on. Not from each other. But from The Twilight Saga.
Pattinson will star in Bel Ami later this year, the first trailer for which was released this week.
Stewart, meanwhile, will update a classic fairy tale in Show White and the Huntsman, a possible trilogy that brought the cast together for a panel at Comic-Con this weekend.
How would the actress describe her version of this well-known character?
“She’s got this amazing ability to channel fear, things that people are typically very afraid of, into this really focused, really charged, driving energy,” Stewart said. “She’s also like the people’s leader and… truly doesn’t let her heart cloud her mind. [She] doesn’t let her mind get in the way of doing things she feels strongly about. Also, I get to have a sword and stuff.”
Charlize Theron meanwhile, plays the Evil Queen and made us laugh with her description:
“She’s dark. She’s a serial killer. I’m pretty much preparing to play a serial killer. I’m trying to ground it and make it something real. Watch out, Kristen.”
Show White and the Huntsman comes out on June 1, 2012.
If this were Kim Kardashian, we’d blast her for exploiting a cute situation to score easy, patriotic points. We totally admit it.
But, come on, it’s Linda Hamilton! Sarah Connor! Chuck Bartowski’s mom! The veteran actress isn’t exactly in need of endorsements or attention these days.
Therefore, let’s agree the following video is nothing but a kind gesture. In it, Hamilton asks Sergeant Ray Lewis – the man who was turned down by Betty White – to the Marine Corps Ball. We’ll let you know if he accepts.
Are you sitting down? You need to sit down. And take a deep breath. Because Lady Gaga met Karl Lagerfeld. And it was on television.
They appeared on French talk show Le Grand Journal together, and…and…and…it’s basically like watching two fascinating aliens on Earth on camera. Or something equally as mind exploding and amazing. Karl whips out his WHITE GOLD iPad (which, by the way, is beautiful) to take a picture of a bra-clad Gaga. She also happens to be wearing gold Chanel earrings. Seeing them interact is fully and totally bizarre. And wonderful.
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are moving on. Not from each other. But from The Twilight Saga.
