EVENT FAB: Kerry Washington, John Legend, Gabrielle Douglas & More DINE With The President And First Lady At The White House Correspondents' Dinner Posted: 28 Apr 2013 06:02 AM PDT Kerry Washington, John Legend, Gabrielle Union were among the stars who laughed and joked with President Obama and Conan O'Brien at this year's annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner. See pics inside....   Last night was the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner where Washington meets Hollywood and A-list movies stars wine and dine with politicians. ABC's "Scandal" star Kerry Washington was among the super stars who attended. Kerry wore a stylish Wes Gordon dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, Vhernier jewelry, a Jil Milan bag, and a Movado watch. She tweeted from her fitting earlier in the day, "Just had my fitting with @Stephendatailor – my awesome go to tailor in DC! – getting EXCITED about tonight. #whcd.” "Scandal" creator Shonda Rhimes, who made TIMES 100 Most Influential list, recently penned an open letter about becoming a mother through adoption.  R&B crooner John Legend, who's producing a new HBO series "Down Lo", attended the dinner. He arrived with his gorgeous fiance, "SI" model Chrissy Teigen. "SNL" alum and "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan brought out his pregnant fiance Megan Wollover. Tracy seems really excited about the upcoming birth as he kissed and posed with Megan's baby bump. TV personality Gayle King posed with her daughter Kirby Bumpus. Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas made a perfect landing. She posed with "Bridesmaids" star Rebel Wilson. MSNBC personalities Al Roker and Chris Matthews shook hands, made faces and talked politics.   NY Giants baller Victor Cruz posed with fiancé Elaina Watley.  E! News correspondent Alicia Quarles looked amazing. Funnyman Conan O'Brien had the audience in stitches with jokes like,  "I have a question, and I think some of you also have this question. It's been several months since you were reelected, sir, so I'm curious, why are you still sending everyone five emails a day asking for more money? You won! Do you have a gambling problem we don't know about?" "Did you put it all on Gonzaga?"(A reference to the president's NCAA March Madness college basketball bracket) "You did, didn't you? He did!" And President Obama wasn't a slouch in the jokes department either.  He entered the room to the turn of DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win" and told the audience, "I still make rookie mistakes..'Like, I’m out in California, we’re at a fundraiser, we’re having a nice time and I happened to mention that Kamala Harris is the best looking attorney general in the country. As you might imagine, I got trouble when I got back home. Who knew Eric Holder was so sensitive?" And while joking that, "I'm not the strapping young Socialist that I used to be", he took a page from out of the FLOTUS playbook and added "bangs" for a fresher look.   Watch some of Obama's best jokes here: Watch Conan O'Brien's monologue:   Photos via Getty Images

HOMELESS??!! Fantasia GIVES UP Her McMansion, TURNS Million Dollar HOME Over To The BANK Posted: 28 Apr 2013 05:23 AM PDT After failing to land a buyer, Fantasia reportedly turned her North Carolina mansion to her primary lender...the bank. Details inside....   It's a good thing Fantasia is crisscrossing around the country to promote her Side Effect Of You disc because its being reported that she DOES NOT have a home to return to.   Longtime Fanny fans may recall that she'd been have a hard time keeping up with her mortgage payments on her North Carolina home for many many years...and now she's finally thrown in the towel.  After she avoided foreclosure (at the last minute) in 2009, she put the mini-mansion (feature on VH1 reality show "Fantasia For Real") on the market for $800K, a figure $500K less than what she paid for it.  Still....there were no takers. Now, recently disclosed court documents revealed that in February, Fantasia decided to skip the foreclosure process and simply turned over the keys to the bank.  On the bright side, all of the pain associated with that process was likely poured into her current hit single "Lose To Win" which has put her back on the charts. Though Fantasia didn't walk away with a dime for the home she lived it for so many years, it looks like hit records are the side effects of foreclosure.
