WOW! And it won’t be about saving dolphins and other such stuff like her previous visit to Washington, D.C., the home of the venerable White House. This time, Hayden Panettiere is among the chosen celebrities invited for the White House Press Correspondents Association Dinner. The annual dinner started in 1920 and is now a highlight of the US President’s social calendar. US Vice President Dick Cheney has already confirmed he will be at the April 26 bash, however, it is not yet known whether President George W. Bush will attend.

Other than Hayden Panettiere, Pamela Anderson, Ben Affleck ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress Marcia Cross, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton (what the???) and ‘The Hills’ star Lauren Conrad were also invited. Scottish comic Craig Ferguson will host the evening. Previous guests have included singer Sheryl Crow, model Petra Nemcova and British comedian Eddie Izzard. Hmm, I’m seeing a pattern here. It seems that the invited celebrities are the ones who are fighting for socially relevant causes (except for Perez, ughh!). Go save your dolphins Hayden! =)
