Every year I find myself wondering why celebrities Hollywood want to fly east to sit in the Hotel Ballroom here is famous for its lack of style. But then I find myself in conversations with celebrities, many of whom here are clearly very specific issues, the global political landscape.

The most surprising conversation at dinner I had was a few years back when I was introduced to Kim Kardashian, she became intrigued by the Armenian heritage of my family name. She began to teach me about the Armenian genocide even beyond what I ever to meeting Hollywood starlet. It was a good thing she was steering the conversation, told me all about the related problem because her darling never seen her reality TV show and didn't know what we talk about. Who woulda thunk?

In 2005, my dinner date was "daily show," wrote Stephen Colbert; The previous year continued to run into it to random places campaign (chasing down Howard Dean behind the scenes-Carroll high school in the United States, in the corridors of the history department at the University of South Carolina).

During dinner, Colbert apologized, lost for a bit. When he returned he told me that he was on the phone with his agent, they were just finalized the deal for his own show. It was a great moment for him, and his success can be fun, but I must admit I wondered to myself if he could keep the Colbert character "half an hour". Shows you how (not) know what a comedy; The show took off, and he was a comedian performing next year's dinner.

I love the person who finishes making the photographer of these events. Quarterback this year, SAK was near my table ???? Brady, people would climb the Colin Powell to get to it. Asked how many young women who were lured to the table if he takes their picture Gen. Powell with Tom Brady.

I had a few "four stars" as my official photographer. This picture of the maarv 2008 is General Peter Chiarelli photography picture of me with Morgan Fairchild.

For me, one of the most known WHCD moments was Ozzy Osbourne stole the show during the dinner of 2002, jumping out of his chair, raising his arms given thunderous applause when Bush mentioned his name. Bush read the names of some of the inputs on the Sabbath bloody Sabbath Ozzy — "," blood "in the world", etc. — Said, "Ozzy, MOM loves your stuff." classic.

I was seated next to the lectern at the table of 2007 when the stunt Bush 43, Steve bridges, it is surprising to the President for his routine.

Red carpet is a strange mix of dinner for celebrities and politics you can imagine — Eric Cantor, Alec Baldwin, Kim Kardashian, Scott Brown, chrochbi for the cameras. And that's when the two worlds intersect, gold.

Last year, he will be given a Donald Trump Marlon Wayans — IT this year, because the lifestyle just managed to convince President Obama to reveal his birth certificate. Mused aloud that he had Wayans to my healthy hair of Trump, alas, for a comedic that never came to be. But it's even better when Pol Pot plays the game celebrity itself. In 2010, RNC Chairman Michael Steele was then by the time he reached the red carpet, raving about having just had Chris Tucker and his "buddy". Tucker was less: "who is Michael Steele?"

My favorite moments in 1937 dinner of the White House are unlikely combinations of people you see in one place — often talk to each other. I will never forget walking after judge Antonin Scalia on the after-party one year while he had what looks like an in-depth conversation with Pamela Anderson. You don't see this every day.

My favorite moment Western White House in 1937 came in 2006, when one of my guests was a member of a United States army officer who is expensive — only spent 15 months in Iraq. Stephen Colbert the comic riffed at some point last bchshatanoaa were retired generals criticisms leveled at then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. "I have a theory about how these retired generals causes all this commotion," declared Colbert. "Don't let them resign!"

I still hear my friend of belly-laugh — crkorim it was contagious.
