After months of discussion and anticipation, the White House Correspondents' Dinner is tonight—an event that everyone expects to be quite different than the loose and almost freewheeling roast of power we've seen in past decades.
This year, instead of a comedian, mentalist Oz Pearlman will address the crowd of politicos and journalists. He promises Vanity Fair he will "create one moment that I hope will be career-defining, that will blow everyone away." And if he can't manage that, there's always the fashion to keep us entertained.
While on the topic of power (when are we not?), the world is transfixed by this new photo of Queen Elizabeth II, released to honor what would have been her 100th birthday. Also under our gaze: Influential art dealer Larry Gagosian launches his latest act, and Noah Wyle, Chappell Roan, and other stars wish their fans would just act normal. |
