One the most entertaining nights of the year in Washington D.C., the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, took place Saturday. ‘SNL’ star Seth Meyers hosted, but our nation’s chief executive stole the show.
This year, President Obama took the mic for some comedy aimed squarely at one of the dinner guests in the room: Donald Trump.
The president didn’t waste time suggesting that Trump go waste some time, investigating famous conspiracies — neatly equating those who doubt his birthplace to those who research Roswell aliens and gripping national mysteries like ‘Where are Biggie and Tupac?’
The crowd howled when the president then explained, with a straight face, the ludicrously overwrought decisions Trump made during a steak-themed ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ episode, and how such issues kept Obama up at night. His message was clear: The notion that hosting ‘Apprentice’ is comparable to running the country is pretty hilarious.
Happy Friday! Today, we’ve got some pretty funny quotes for you from celebrities. We’ve got Tori Spelling’s son comparing her to Lady Gaga, Courtney Cox-Arquette lusting over Robert Pattinson and Tracy Morgan making light of the whole Mel Gibson controversy. Enjoy!

What was your favorite quote this week? Mine was Tori Spelling’s son tweeting that she looks like Gaga. Ummm, NO, she doesn’t. She may be anorexic looking and blond, but that’s where the similarities stop. I just hate it when parents think their kids are so funny that they have to share every detail with the world.
