White House Corresponden'ts Dinner

I always find these hilarious. Obama does an amazing job at playing to the crowd, obviously. The best part was that he came out to Hulk Hogan's "I'm a Real American" theme song. Playing against those that always claim he wasn't really born in the U.S. and that he shouldn't be president. Then he shows some old video footage of him growing up that is pretty funny. It's just from the Lion King where animals are all around and eating african mango and whatever.

The first video has that in it, while the second video is just as long with Seth Myers giving a long hilarious speech as well. These dinners aren't for politics particularly. They are made to take a break and have a few laughs. They usually deliver, and this one is no different.



You Start To Feel Really Old When...

Nothing makes me feel older than when I see actors/actresses graduate from playing roles as high schoolers when I was younger to taking on roles as parents. I remember when Encino Man came out, and Brendan Fraser played a caveman that was in high school. Yeah it was a Pauley Shore movie. What did you expect?

Now I see that he is being cast in a role on a TV series in which he will be playing a FATHER. Not to mention that he isn't really the headline of the show either. Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical, which I have never seen, nor want to, will be his "daughter". She is set to play a pregnant, homeless teen, in a series entitled "Gimme Shelter," an indie drama that will also star Brendan Fraser as her father. Get your key charm as soon as you can for this clear hit.
