Check out the Trashwire Blog for full-size versions and additional pics. The annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington D.C. can be one of the most bizarre and surreal events of the year. Where else are you going to be able to chat with Henry Kissinger and Heidi Montag in the same room? This year’s event marked the fourth time Trashwire has covered the pre-party scene and, as usual, it didn’t disappoint.

‘Walk Hard’ joins ‘Spinal Tap’ in music comedy classics
Dewey Cox is a superstar whose tumultuous personal life inspired many songs though out his long career. He is also the fictional star of Walk Hard, the mock biopic, produced by Judd Apatow and starring John C. Reilly as Cox.
