Not only did Heidi Montag repeat an outfit at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, she offered more fodder for the boring war with Lauren Conrad to continue. "After hearing about Conrad’s earlier rants, Capitol File magazine thought it best to create a separate VIP area for Pratt and Montag when they arrived at the Newseum afterparty. But the bitterness apparently remained. After potty-mouthed celebrity DJ Pete Wentz (of Fall Out Boy) gave multiple shout-outs to the couple, Conrad called it quits and headed out." Then again, Wentz also "kept it classy by shouting, 'I just want to thank my girlfriend's vagina!'" So, yeah.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt did end up attending the White House Correspondents Dinner, even after turning down MSNBC's invite, an invite they denied ever extending. (They were the invited guests of Fortune.) Except Heidi committed the ultimate faux pas. No, she didn't flip-flop on her John McCain endorsement — she wore the same outfit she sported for an event just a week earlier.

Lloyd Grove wasn't the only gossip causing stares at Fox News' White House Correspondents Dinner. That honor goes to the Boston Globe Mark Shanahan, who, the Boston Herald gleefully points out, was 800 thread count sheets to the wind.

While ABC News is bringing Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Ashlee Simpson, and Pete Wentz as its guests to the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday, MSNBC thought it was bringing Us Weekly conspirator Heidi Montag. That was until Montag's boyfriend and manager Spencer Pratt demanded a pair of first class plane tickets for their travel. MSNBC refused, though they claim to have never invited Montag; "We are not having, nor did we invite, any celebrities to sit at our table." One Montag source says, "It wasn't 'A-listy' enough." Huh. Because in addition to ABC's roster, Donatella Versace, Rupert Everett, Pam Anderson, Jeff Koons, Kerry Washington, Karl Rove, Mark Penn, Hayden Panettierre, John Cusack, Claire Danes, Rob Lowe, Marcia Cross, Tracey Ullman all didn't think the event was below them.

ALIENS FOR HUMANS Recent American citizen Craig Ferguson will host the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Considering his new immigration status, his speech probably won’t be as harsh as Stephen Colbert’s from two years ago. Too bad, because the resulting fall out was kind of funny. [Examiner]
