Stars Join Barack Obama for Jokes

Hollywood A-listers spend the evening with President Barack Obama at one of Washington's biggest -- and funniest -- nights!

In keeping with tradition, President Obama poked fun at himself at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday night, in front of an audience of top celebs including Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Samuel L. Jackson, Sting and more.

Obama referenced the flood of media coverage on his first 100 days in office and had a prediction for his next milestone. "I believe my next hundred days will be so successful that I will be able to complete them in 72 days," the Associated Press quoted him as saying, to huge laughs. "And on my 73rd day, I will rest."

First Lady Michelle Obama also attended the dinner, wearing an elegant pink dress designed by Michael Kors. Comic actress Wanda Sykes, the dinner's entertainer, teased the First Lady for her meeting with the queen in which she patted Queen Elizabeth II on the back "like she just slid into home plate -- way to go, queen!"
