In what's become a tradition that folks look forward to every year, President Barack Obama let his hair down and told a few jokes to a room full of people who dedicate most of their time to following his every move. See Barack entertain Kerry Washington, Omar Epps, Marlon Wayans and tons of reporters inside.
Last night the 2011 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner was held at the Washington Hilton in Washington, DC.
President Obama was the star of the show as he used last night to challenge his challengers. He said:
“I know he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than ‘The Donald,’ (who was actually in the audience).
“And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like: Did we fake the moon landing?
“What really happened in Roswell?
“And where are Biggie and Tupac?”
And he also has a few words for actor Matt Damon who had recently said he was “disappointed” in the president's policies. the president said.
“Well, Matt, I just saw ‘The Adjustment Bureau’ so right back at you, buddy!”
Who knew Obama had jokes?
Check out Obama in action here:
The first lady wore a chocolate brown gown that showed off her workout regimen. I see Michelle really plans on getting American kids in shape.
And on the red carpet,
La La and Melo dazzled on the red carpet at the White House Correspondents dinner.
La La wore this stunning red Dolce and Gabbana gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Melo wore a Beckenstein Bespoke Custom Tailored Suit.
Rosario Dawson look stunning in her red gown.
She will star in Alicia Keys' new movie FIVE for Lifetime.
And actress Kerry Washington never fails to excite photogrpahers on the red carpet. Her silky Asian-inspired gown was a highlight of the evening.
"The Voice" judge Cee-Lo Green was in the house.
And he was joined by fellow R&B crooner John Legend.
John brought along his longtime girlfriend Christine Teigen.
I thought Will.I.Am was dressed in a very reserved manner for a change.....until I saw the shoes.
Gayle King got pretty in pink for the occasion.
She also posed with La La.
And music honchos Russell Simmons and Lyor Cohen chatted inside the dinner.
Mr. Marlon Wayans looked dapper.
And so did Omar Epps.
And Rashida Jones looked very regal in blue.
