Miley Cyrus’ embarrassing photo shoot

Plus: John Mayer and Jen Aniston; White House Correspondents’ dinner

[excerpt]

Rosario Dawson, who has been working hard with Voto Latino, attended the dinner, as did Tracey Ullman, who was probably the only attendee sporting handcuff-shaped earrings.

And lo and behold, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were in attendance too. They had been invited by msnbc.com, but backed out when their lengthy demands couldn’t be met under the auspices of a “scheduling conflict.” The conflict apparently disappeared though. Fortune magazine shelled out and brought the couple east to the dinner. They did have an awkward run-in during the Capitol File after party at the Newseum, though.

About 45 minutes before their arrival, arch enemy Lauren Conrad entered the party and was in the VIP area when Montag and Pratt arrived. The scene was awkward at best, and Pratt was overheard saying that he was glad to be there after “being stuck at a three-hour dinner.” (Note to Pratt: It is poor form to describe a dinner presided over by the president and vice president as one at which you were stuck.)
