Screen stars partied with the rich, the powerful and the President of the United States at the 100th White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Besides his wife Michelle looking glamorous at his side, Obama had no shortage of female company at one of the most star-studded events in the national calendar.Jessica Simpson, Charmed actress Rose McGowan, 12 Years a Slave Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o and Modern Family star Sofia Vergara were among the beautiful and famous who hobnobbed with the capital's elite at the Washington Hilton last night.The black-tie night is a traditional chance for the President to let down his guard and poke fun at his own regime.But it has also become a night of celebrity-spotting, home to the biggest names in film and fashion all out to impress before the cameras.Congressmen and cabinet members rubbed elbows with Hollywood stars including 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen.Joel McHale, star of the NBC comedy Community, followed Obama with a routine that had New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's weight as its biggest target.Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron was a guest, as was actress Diane Lane. Television stars included Olivia Munn of The Newsroom and Juliana Margulies of The Good Wife.Julia Louis-Dreyfus was there with the cast from her hit HBO comedy Veep, parodying a dysfunctional vice president's office.A video played earlier in the evening showed her in character, asking a real-life Joe Biden: 'Are you going to the Snorespondents' dinner tonight?'The video skit included health-conscious first lady Michelle Obama sneaking some ice cream in the White House kitchen, House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi getting a tattoo and House Speaker John Boehner skipping the dinner to watch a panda video in his office.The skit ended with a joke on the Hollywood-Washington romance, as Louis-Dreyfus explains slowly to Biden: 'I'm not really a V.P. but you are. I'm an actress from Hollywood.'From the bungled rollout of 'Obamacare' to New Jersey gridlock to the hue of John Boehner's tan, all was fair game for Obama when he took center stage as comedian in chief.His smiling face appearing on huge screens above the hundreds of guests, he chuckled: 'We rolled out healthcare.gov. That could have gone better.'In 2008 my slogan was "Yes we can." In 2013 my slogan was "control-alt-delete".'On the plus side, the president said, 'they did turn the launch of healthcare.gov into one of the year's biggest movies.' On the screen flashed the poster for Frozen.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
