The annual White House Correspondents Dinner, to which a ragtag bunch of celebrities and pseudo-celebrities have been increasingly invited over the years, is being held tonight, with Justin Bieber, Gabourey Sidibe, Scarlett Johansson, and of course (?) Patricia Arquette amongst this year's celeb guests.
The gang will rub elbows with politicos and other celebs in an event that usually features a host making fun of the president and other VIPs. This year's host is Jay Leno, so expect plenty of controversy. Okay, maybe not controversy; perhaps some lame pokes. Or maybe a remark designed to undercut Conan O'Brien's 60 Minutes interview tomorrow.
