The 2013 White House Correspondents Association Dinner will be held tonight, Saturday, April 27th at the Washington Hilton Hotel and live coverage of the red carpet arrivals is scheduled to begin at 6pm ET. The event, hosted by Conan O’Brien, is the one time of year when the Washington and Hollywood elite join together to make fun of the much less powerful political media, so you won’t want to miss a second of the action at this year’s “Nerd Prom.”

WHCD 2013: Obama, Celebrities Gather For Association's Annual Dinner

WASHINGTON — The annual gathering not far from the White House brings together journalists, government officials, politicians and media personalities for what's usually an evening of light-hearted banter and celebrity gawking.

Presidents are made fun of and they poke at themselves, too.

But President Barack Obama's scheduled appearance Saturday night at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner was coming at a somber time, nearly two weeks after the deadly Boston Marathon bombing and 10 days after a devastating fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas.

In 1995, in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, President Bill Clinton dispensed with the traditional presidential humor to remember victims and praise journalists for their coverage of the explosion.

Coincidentally, this year's dinner entertainer, comedian and late-night TV talk-show host Conan O'Brien, also headlined that 1995 gala.

Lot of people coming in. Seems there are a lot of stars because I see plenty of women posing for the cameras. Don't even know who they are.

but they do...and then have a masturbation party every year and celebrate their putridness. Just saw Mrs. Greenspan, Eric "Pissant" Cantor and "Stretch" Gregory in the same frame. Had to turn it off.
