Scarlett Johansson at 2010 White House Correspondents Association Dinner
Presidential sweet?
Sun, 02/05/2010 - 08:22 by Harry BowDavid Cameron gets Gary Barlow, Gordon Brown gets Gillian Duffy (if she hadn't lost her voting slip), and Barack Obama gets Scarlett Johansson, Alec Baldwin, Jessica Alba, the Jonas Brothers and Steven Spielberg.
We're not too sure what this is all about, but apparently America's Head of State gave a brief speech to some of his more glamorous supporters (and Donatella Versace) over dinner, addressing issues such as the Gulf oil spill.
Talking of spillages (tenuous link coming up), Scarlett Johansson's cups were runneth over, although Jessica Simpson had tucked hers away for the occasion, as had Kim Kardashian.
Swan-chewing-a-wasp Jessica Alba was looking as annoying as usual, while the other two from Sex and the City had managed to detach veiny and vainy from their side for the night, a vast improvement.
Alec Baldwin's still the dude - while he was hanging out with the president, his brother is out in a parking lot begging for change.

Eeewww, Koshmar! There is a line and you just crossed it there.
They aren't dangerous like the Rev with his warped and lusty sermons. They are the pop music equivalent of Twilight. i.e. designed to make teenagers pledge abstinence. Personally I would like to corrupt all three of them (at the same time) just for the hell of it.
Rev, you are blinded by lust. Calm yourself.
Or Michael Barrymore stuck up the back of Peter Andre
Oh. Thanks Ernie. A bit like John Barrowman, only smaller and more of them?
To clarify that point, they are a distillation of true saccharine musical evil who deserve to be mown down by articulated lorries full of disney toys.
I keep hearing the name 'The Jonas Brothers' but I don't actually know anything about them. Apart from they're maybe religious, therefore probably dangerous. Just like you Rev.
The Jonas Brothers do what Mickey Mouse tells them to. Otherwise they get fucked up.
Never doubt the wisdom of the Worm.....the fact that you are unable to comprehend her complex and intense socio-political commentary does not mean that you should be hostile towards her.
I am saving up the money to fly to Australia by stealing from the collection plate every sunday. We shall soon be together !
I've lived in the States and Australia. Now I'm back in England and it's still fucking raining. Nuff said.
Think? You really think the Jonas Brothers are capable of independent thought?
Fuck. Loving this thread. My little, northern mam came out with a classic after another member of my family started spewing forth racist shit. She said ' I can't believe he's saying that, you have to take people as you find them, you can't just go around saying awful things about people you don't even know, just because they're a different colour....Mind you, I do hate them lesbians'. (I doubt she's ever even seen a lesbian)
Another member of my family signed a petition about immigration at the front door 'to make the bloke go away' and found herself on the BNP register. Oh how we laughed. Not. She was mortified and went and removed it. Next time 'the bloke' knocked she chased him down the street. (I nearly stood as an independent candidate last year when I received a badly spelt leaflet from some bimbo working in a carpet shop telling me all about her lovely BNP intentions. She was about 21, thick as a bucket of custard and openly racist. And she was getting votes. It's just terrifying)
I wonder what the Jonas Brothers think about all of this?
Oh no, politics and religion!
I don't usually approve of racism, but Grandpas are allowed, simply because it's too stupid to even be considered offensive. Just after the Tsunami, my Gramps was watching a news report on it, and came out with
"See, that's the good thing 'bout them ruddy chinks, they can pick themselves up after a disaster. Not like them freeloading Ethiopians."
I'm not sure what programme he thought he was watching, but we should probably set him up with Dancing Worm.
Ha ha, reminds me of my Granddad- every time he comes out with racist claptrap I point out that perhaps, just perhaps, his own Jewish ancestors were not indigenous to the British Isles.
Ah no, UKIP and the BNP don't canvass round here - they post leaflets at 3am, so they don't have to meet your eye with their visceral hatred. Apart from the canvassing, I think I might have caused a bit of a family rift by asking my Irish, resolutely UKIP-voting, original migrant worker uncle whether he was planning to head back to Cork to live after the election. How to stop a conversation dead.
Anyway, I guess this site isn't the place for all this, but if I'd had one tenth of your positive feedback today then it would've all been worthwhile. And you're right - we could be in Australia, so let's be grateful for small mercies.
Oh Meryl, you have my sympathies- the UK is rammed with stupid bigots and I applaud your stoicism. I would be terrible at canvassing as I would just be rude to the idiots. I'm assuming here that you haven't been canvassing for UKIP (aka the BNP in blazers) , but given your intelligent, measured posts and ability to spell, I think that my assumptions are right. As much as I love the Reverend and his special brand of moralising, I think he has a few lapses in judgment. Maybe DW should direct her moronic ire towards the idiots in her own neck of the woods first- what other country but Australia has a PM that is stupid enough to be 'inadvertently' following porn sites with his official Twitter account? Although, no doubt, Berlusconi would follow them knowingly.
Having just been canvassing and experienced a similar grade of bigoted, ill-informed gobbledegook as Dancing Worm comes out with, I have to agree with you. But she's endearingly moronic, the Reverend is in love with her, and we can all heave a sigh of relief that she won't be voting here on Thursday.
Dancing worm, you are a bloody idiot. Have you ever even visited the States? Or do you gain all your 'knowledge' from the TV? I lived and worked in Texas for a couple of years and it was fucking brilliant. Yes there are rednecks, and the Tea-Party brigade and the right wing Republicans are ill-informed twats but I also met some of the most liberal, intelligent and clued-up people I have ever encountered there- yes, in fucking Texas. I was bloody amazed too. And the country does not offer the stark choice of 'Disneyland' or 'Stinktown' as you so eloquently put it- it has some of the most fascinating cities and landscape that I have ever encountered (and yes, I have visited your beloved Australia, my brother lives there, and it is also full of rednecks and the only country in which I have ever experienced blatant racism from the police. Nice.).
The States has a ton of problems, particularly health care, welfare (or the 'Doll' as you so fabulously describe it- actually they do have a form of the Dole, but it does need reforming) et al, but please don't tar a whole nation with your ill-informed views and dreadful spelling. Oh and it doesn't cost $700 to visit the doctor with 'flu ( the flue is up the chimney).
Kevin Phillips Bong. You polled no votes at all. Not a sausage. Bugger all. Are you at all disappointed with this performance?
Just another way Obama can get more Publicity by using the Celebrities to get it. America is a third world country now there is POOR and RICH that is all and this makes it third world. Not the 1st world country it claims to be. I used to grow up thinking how great it must be to live there but with all the poverty and such now I thank god I live in Australia. Have you cleaned up the Health Care System over there yet Nooooo it still costs 700 dollors to see a doctor if you have the flue. With no Doll no free Health Care and guns left right and cenre I think your country stinks and its the last place I would want to live. You can either live in Disneyland or stinktown and most of them live in stinktown, hey lets go buy us a gun at K-mart then we will have something to prove.
Why do people invite the Jonas Brothers to things? I disapprove of people encouraging them. Hmph.
