The White House Correspondents' Association Dinner — the see-and-be-seen celebration and presidential roast — is a little more than a week away, and the glitzy guest list, as has become custom, is being leaked in drips and drabs.
The annual tradition, which began in 1920, has become very much a Hollywood event, with celebrities invading the clubby D.C. media scene.
This year's affair is no different. Seth Meyers, “Saturday Night Live” head writer and anchor of “Weekend Update,” will serve as host.
And according to the Washington Post, Politico, Atlantic and other sources, here are some of the expected celebrity guests, and their table hosts (if known) expected on April 30 at the Washington Hilton:
