A slew of stars turned out for Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, D.C. The dinner is traditionally attended by politicians, members of the media and celebrities.

President Barack Obama poked fun of himself during his speech, joking at one point: "I'm not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that I used to be."

Stars including Kevin Spacey ("House of Cards"), Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("Veep"), Claire Danes ("Homeland"), Sofia Vergara ("Modern Family), Kerry Washington ("Scandal") and Korean entertainer Psy all showed up to the event.

A TV commercial starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been taken off the air in Israel after viewers complained about its portrayal of overweight women.

In the advertisement for satellite TV provider Yes, the actress rubs the belly of a plump co-worker and congratulates her on expecting a baby, only to realize the woman isn't pregnant.

The former Seinfeld star continues to make awkward remarks about her heavyset colleague, and even exclaims in front of the other staff, "I would like to apologies to Betty for thinking that she was pregnant. Obviously she hasn't dated anyone in forever!"

Sunday night was one of the of the biggest events in Hollywood - the 2013 Golden Globes Awards. Red, white and black were some of the more popular choices on the red carpet, with stars such as Zooey Deschanel, Jennifer Garner, Claire Danes, Marion Cotillard and Jennifer Lawrence opting for crimson gowns.

Hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey wore black and white, and Eva Longoria looked very leggy in a black gown with a slit up the thigh. Salma Hayek also stunned in a strapless black dress that showed off her curvy figure. Rachel Weisz wore black with a sheer polka dot skirt and her best accessor...

The red carpet was full of bright colors at the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards last night, but yellow was the most popular. "Modern Family" star Julie Bowen, winner of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, looked oustanding in a strapless canary yellow gown.

"Homeland" winner Claire Danes, who is several months pregnant, also opted for a strapless yellow dress that was (obviously) more loose fitting than Julie's.

"Game Change" winner Julianne Moore picked a more conservative yellow gown with long sleeves, a higher neckline and a billowing skirt.

HBO has quickly renewed their latest hit comedies “Girls” and “Veep” for a second season. What’s in store for the 20-somethings of “Girls” and vice president Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus)? There’s still a fruitful first season to get through.

“Girls” creator/star Lena Dunham said you’ll see many more embarrassing sexual mistakes for her character Hannah and all the girls. “They’re trying their hardest and they make mistakes, but they are working towards something,” Dunham said. “It’s a two steps forward one step back situation. They do need to grow up. That’s what the show is about. I...

Do you enjoy ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’? Do you own the entire DVD collection of ‘The West Wing’? Can you recite phrases like “the master of his domain” and “maybe a dingo at your baby”? Then ‘Veep’ may be the show for you.

It’s got a bonafide TV star in the seemingly ageless Julia Louis-Dreyfus, it’s got White House sophistication, and perhaps most important of all, it’s got lots of hilariously awkward moments.

In the first three episodes available for preview, ‘Veep’ is clearly on the path to finding its groove, a balance of chaotic, political mumbo-jumbo coated with profanity, cringe-induc...

Many celebrities attended Tuesday night's Vanity Fair cocktail party for the Tribeca Film Festival at the State Courthouse in Manhattan's Financial District. But two stars stuck out for their interesting fashion sense.

Dakota Fanning wore a cute vibrant pink frock, but what set her apart was her hairstyle. She pinned a yellow headpiece on the crown of her head, and it seemed out of place.

Leelee Sobieski wore a school marm white dress with a billowing skirt reminiscent of the 1950s. She slicked back her hair and tucked it underneath her neck.

Check out more photos of Dakota, Leelee and o...

Anna Chlumsky attended a screening of the new HBO series "Veep" in New York City yesterday, and she looked amazing in a little black dress. She swept her hair to the side, reminding us of screen siren Veronica Lake.

Seinfeld star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is urging President Barack Obama to prohibit plans to construct a major new oil pipeline across the U.S.

The actress has recorded a video asking Obama to reject the permit needed to build the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada through the heart of the U.S. to the Gulf of Mexico.

Louis-Dreyfus fears oil carried in the pipe would "put air, water, climate and millions of our fellow citizens at risk" if it were to leak.

In the clip, she says, "As we speak, some very greedy guys are trying to make some very big bucks build...

"Seinfeld" star Michael Richards has been targeted in a new lawsuit over allegations he randomly attacked a photographer in a street.

In papers filed on Friday, photographer Brendon O'Neal claims the actor lashed out at him in Los Angeles last month, punching him in the face and knocking him to the ground before he "proceeded to kick (O'Neal) numerous times, directing the blows to (O'Neal's) arms, hands, and camera."

The photographer is seeking unspecified damages for "great mental, physical, and nervous pain and suffering" and medical expenses, according to TMZ.com

It’s a transitional year for the Emmys, meaning this is one of the more exciting races in recent memories. The flood of new nominees (brought on by a stellar development slate) means that we can no longer rely on the predictable Emmy voting to determine winners. Instead, this is a year where we can see many newcomers emerging and starting a whole new slate of predictable nominees.

Yes, that was a little cynical, but it’s the sad truth of the Emmys – habits are hard to break for the voters. Luckily, this year the virgin nominees have afforded them an extensive choice for brand new habits.
