"This past weekend, The White House Correspondents' Dinner was the linchpin in a series of star-studded events bringing together politics, media, Hollywood and, especially in 2012, tech. Here's a look inside this year's extravaganza. \n\n\nPhotos from the Whitehouse Correspondents' Dinner Weekend\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMayor of Nerdprom\nFoursquare's Dennis Crowley and his girlfriend, stylist and fashion writer Chelsa Skees, lead the WHCD tech invasion at the Vanity Fair after-party. (Via @dens Instagram feed.)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLadies\nPulitzer-Prize winning media mogul Arianna Huffington chats with Senior White House Advisor Valerie Jarrett at the pre-WHCD Garden Brunch. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo Catch a Kardashian\nDoesn't it look like Kim Kardashian is fleeing in terror? Maybe she heard that Jimmy Kimmel and President Obama would zing her in their speeches. Writer/Instagrammer Glynnis MacNicol captured her and her ginormous eyes before the dinner. (Photo via @GlynnMacN)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGleeful Muse\nLook how happy Daily Muse co-founder and CEO, Kathryn Minshew is to be palling around with Glee's, Darren Criss (in a \"Rock The Vote\" button to boot. Doing his civic part!). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTracy Flick 2012\nReese Witherspoon's alter ego from 1999's Election would probably not have approved of frivolous Washington parties. (Elle Woods probably would have, though.) Here's Witherspoon with Votizen co-founder Jason Putorti. (Via @Putorti)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModern Family Values\nPeople seemed most excited to see Modern Family stars like Jesse Tyler Ferguson (here with Talking Points Memo deputy publisher, Callie Schweitzer). (Photo via @cschweitz)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Post with the Most\nThe Washington Post Chairman, Donald Graham schmoozes with his party guests. They include Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Newt Gingrich, and his wife, Callista.

It's actually Votizen's, Jason Putorti.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews You Can Use\nNBC News correspondents, Andrea Mitchell and Pete Williams, work the room. FYI, Williams was not her date. She's married to former Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThree Branches of Government: Reporting, Comedy, And Blogging\nHere is your media, consumed: Michael Hastings (middle) reports out big pieces in Afghanistan and Iraq; Slate's, Dave Weigel (left) curates, analyzes and waxes on it at his blog; and Kevin Bleyer (right) makes jokes about it on The Daily Show (and in presidential roasts).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
