LAURA BUSH IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW AT CORRESPONDENTS DINNER
-------------------------------------------------------------------
US First Lady LAURA BUSH stole the show at the annual White
House
Correspondents Dinner on Saturday (30APR05) when she poked fun
at her husband and his family, leaving celebrity guests like JANE
FONDA and RICHARD GERE in hysterics.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH's wife confessed she was a real
desperate housewife because her man was always too tired for
romance.
She quipped, "Here's our typical evening: nine o'clock and Mr
Excitement here is sound asleep and I'm watching DESPERATE
HOUSEWIVES.
"I mean it, those women on that show think they're desperate;
they oughtta be with George."
That wasn't Bush's only reference to popular culture - she
likened her mother-in-law BARBARA BUSH to THE GODFATHER's
DON
CORLEONE.
Meanwhile, joining Gere and Fonda at the Washington Hilton
Hotel bash were celebrity model ELLE MACPHERSON, actors
DENNIS
HOPPER and BILLY BALDWIN, actresses KELLY PRESTON and
GOLDIE HAWN
and a frail MARY TYLER MOORE.
High security meant all those attending the event, including
the stars had to pass through extensive checkpoints, where they
were asked to remove their shoes and jackets. (KL/WN)
