Washington D.C. and Hollywood collided last night for the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner where President Bush noted, “interesting crowd,” “Just think – Pamela Anderson and Mitt Romney in the same room. Isn’t that a sign of the apocalypse?”

Craig Ferguson, host of CBS “Late Late Show,” who became a U.S. citizen in February, hosted the event.

The guest list for the dinner included plenty of VIPs from outside the Beltway: Actors Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, John Cusack, Pamela Anderson and Claire Danes, singers Ashlee Simpson and the Jonas Brothers and author Salman Rushdie were among the invitees. Washington’s power elite was still well represented, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff in attendance.
