George Clooney to attend White House Correspondents' Association Dinner

pattygirl wrote:I believe someone asked what channel the Dinner would be on. It is on both CNN and MSNBC. It starts at 9:30 pm, Eastern Time. Don't know how that helps non US friends. Trying to decide if it'll be worth recording it. Don't imagine George is going to be doing anything but eating and chatting with tablemates. If he's the butt of a joke or two, we'll hear about it soon enough and we know they'll be pictures.

Thanks for the helpful info, pattygirl!

TMZ has a brief clip of George heading to his flight for DC this afternoon. Strangely no Stacy in sight. Couldn't figure out how to paste the video, so if someone else can I would appreciate it. Its in the clip of Lindsay Lohan missing her flight.

Maybe she is filming the tv show and will join him tomorrow.

I think they are supposed to be at the dinner tonight according to earlier posts.

check it! .... mmmm ... it would be nonsense and stupid to publicize a dinner date only 24 hours before , smiling to each other, and then not occur together at WHCD ... Stacy also tweeted about the dress supposed to wear for this event ... Rather, it would be easier they not come from the same place .... but Stacy will be there, surely .....

on a different note, how hot does George look!!!!!!!

I thought I read somewhere that there's another dinner at the St Regis tonight held by Time magazine, I think, ahead of the main event..........

Might be wrong........

Either she is working and will join him for tomorrow night or maybe she was already on the plane waiting for him maybe she got to the airport before him and the paps missed her. We will know by tomorrow.

Yes there is an event tonight and it was claimed they were both going to be there.

Coverage of the Correspondent's Dinner begins at 6:30 EST on the C-Span channel, if you have cable tv. I think they cover the celebrity arrivals prior to the dinner.

Just a data bit there...

From Washington Post
I am not sure if somebody posted this. Why celebs are invited to correspondence dinner
sorry having problems loading video

Stacy probably has to work on that tv show thingy that she is doing so she will get a flight later. I doubt her role (little / supporting as it may be) would only take a day to film. She may not attend the Google-Hollywood reporter event as she may not yet be in town.

Maybe that was the purpose of the dinner at Craig's (pap hotshot) the other night? To try and deflect the rumours starting up when he attend one event solo. Or on the other hand, her not attending the Hollywood reporter event could be a PR play as wouldn't it give them a bit more attention in the room of famewhores and other celebs attending the dinner if he goes to one event solo and gets the press talking about a possible split then they show together the next night?? Just how my cynic little brain works.

I was just on getty and saw that Richard Kind is at the google event.

Not feeling frisky! George Clooney avoids airport pat down as he heads through LAX security

It seems George Clooney was not feeling frisky at the airport this morning.
For the Hollywood heartthrob was seen stripping down to his bare feet so he could avoid a pat down at LAX Airport in Los Angeles.
Instead the macho star ended up walking through the security scanner with his hands up at the bustling airport.

Hands up: George Clooney stripped down to his bare feet as he went through security at LAX Airport today
George was flying out as he is a guest at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, DC tomorrow night.
Luckily for the 50-year-old however, the queue he was in was one person lighter, as Lindsay Lohan was booked to fly on the same flight, but ended up missing it after a night of partying.
Of course the Ides of March star was much more concerned with getting to the airport promptly, as he is sitting at the Time magazine's table.

Rearly baggy: The heartthrob's legion of female fans will be disappointed his jeans were not more fitted around his posterior

Ready to go: George adopted the required position as he prepared to go in
The ladies man was not afraid to let his hair down the night before his journey either however.
For the former ER favourite was spotted enjoying a romantic evening with his current squeeze, 32-year-old former WWE grappler Stacy Keibler.
Like the consummate professional he is, he made sure he was back home in time so he could get a good night's shut eye, no doubt after being tucked in by his much younger sweetheart.

Suits you sir: He seemed to be carrying his Correspondents' Dinner outfit as hand luggage

Not such a late night: He went for dinner with Stacy Keibler but she made sure she tucked him in early

Super photos! I'm just thinking Ryan Bingham would be in a special line for super duper VIP platinum frequent flyers. I like George's jeans. Why? Because I'm thinkin' I could squeeze myself in with him.

Still can't believe the Lohan is going to this. Yikes.

From last year. A longer version

Well no shots of George at the airport when the plane touched down. JJ has shots of Rob Pattinson in the airport after the flight. Maybe George used Rob by way of "chumming the waters" with the awaiting paps like he use to with Brad and he was able to quietly slip out of the airport without much fuss.

Now that video I would love to see.

This is why I like GC.....he can talk to anyone....

Sat next to George Clooney on flight last night, 5 great hrs of politics, & I'm a military conserv Rep, why can't our leaders do the same!
7:58 AM - 28 Apr 12 via web ·

George looks great, handsome as always. Thanks for the photos and all the updates.

"Sat next to George Clooney on flight last night, 5 great hrs of politics, & I'm a military conserv Rep, why can't our leaders do the same."

That's what I like about George he seems to know how to get alone with everyone and verbally communicate with anyone.

Looks like George got a free x-ray at the airport. LOL

I think it's nice that he will be in pictures for fans to post on twitter, just wonder why he's so adverse to his girlfriend doing it.

Because his private life is "private"?

He loses his pants! George buys the right size pants, you do it for me that I can watch your ass

Steak & shrimp on tap for Martha Stewart, George Clooney

By Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY

And here's what Martha Stewart -- who's attending as the guest of USA TODAY -- as well as George Clooney, Lindsay Lohan, Zooey Deschanel, and Diane Keaton will be eating at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C.

So what's on the menu? According to the National Journal, we're looking at a salad of black lentils with lump crabmeat and greens; an entree of steak and shrimp; and a dessert of chocolate truffle mousse.

For those not in the loop, this is the annual dinner when journalists covering the White House mingle with celebrities and listen to the president give what is usually, if last year was an indication, a very entertaining speech. This year, the comedic stylings are courtesy of Jimmy Kimmel.

Right and I'm having twitches from not being able to admire it.

Well, at least it's refreshing seeing him in different color jeans and tee shirt.

Does anyone else kinda love the nape of his neck and those adorable little cowlicks?

I think it's adorable and that you see his scalp

Did anyone see George and Stacy ?

The dinner has begun and I've not seen them at all.

Oh ok I thought maybe I missed them. Getty and Wire image are putting up photos but still none.

No one has seen them...tweeters are wondering where he is...

Here's the live stream coverage if anyone wants to watch for a couple of hours.
