It's one of the most anticipated events of the year for Hollywood's elite -- and no, we're not talking about the Oscars. The annual White House Correspondents' dinner this coming Saturday plays like a who's-who list for people who enjoy parties, partisan or otherwise. This year, Jimmy Kimmel is hosting Washington D.C.'s glitziest event, which will have movie stars, TV stars and music stars coming out in dizzying numbers.
