Hot and Not at the 2016 White House Correspondents Dinner

The White House Correspondents Dinner, jokingly referred to as "Nerd Prom," brings in guests from all over for a night to honor the press' coverage of the administration. This is quite possibly the only night that you will see a swimsuit model accept an invitation to dinner from a journalist who writes press releases in a cubicle. The press and media outlets not only have attendees from within their own organizations but also invite big name celebrities and politicians, as well. Over the years, it has become one of the hottest tickets in town, and by town, I mean our nation's capital ... but anyways, with the biggest names in attendance, a lot of effort is put in to make sure you are set to impress on the big night. Sometimes they're hot, and sometimes they're not.

The Attire: HOT

Vivica Fox

Vivica stunned in a beaded gown by Jenny Packham.

Katie Lowes

The "Scandal" star looked elegant in this curve-hugging gown from Talbot Runhof.

Kendall Jenner

Kendall was the only member of her family to attend but certainly represented them well.

Tom Hiddleston

Not only does he look extremely dapper, but he has no problem acknowledging the real star with him on the red carpet.

Candace Cameron-Bure

"The View" host and "Fuller House" star looked flawless in floral for the big night.

The Attire: Not

Raven-Symone

Dear "That's So Raven", that's SO not hot! It's a good thing Candace was there to carry "The View" team because she definitely didn't get any help from Raven.

Helen Mirren

Although we have to respect the purple tribute to Prince, we don't have to feel bad enough to like this gown. The fit does nothing for her and the lace looks cheap and immature. Such a shame for someone who usually looks so elegant.

AnnaLynne McCord

We get that you're in the nation's capital, and you're really feelin' the red, white and blue while you're there, but I think there was another way you could've gone instead of with this graffiti-starred dress.

Nikki Bell

I can't help but feel as though, after being shown this dress, I am going to be asked what I see by a psychologist.

Connie Britton

This gown left the "Nashville" star looking frumpy and incomplete.

The Speeches: Hot

President Obama

The crowd responded positively as Obama let loose and showed off his sense of humor at his final WHCD during his Presidency. What better way to finish than with a classic mic drop. #ObamaOut

The Speeches: Not

Larry Wilmore

The comedian got very little love from the crowd throughout his more controversial than humorous speech. What he did get was a middle finger and a few boos. Not even the First Lady could fake her smile until the end.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
