@Frosted Cake ... Yes, they are the celebrities and the reason.  Media doesn't care about the focus on them.  Sad truth, but ...  We celebrate them in our areas and they get the chance to be a part of history.  They will remember it for the rest of their lives.  Plus ... they got to mingle with "stars".

       I agree, @Preds.   And the fact remains that the media promotes what viewers watch, or what readers read.    If none of us paid attention, they'd change the focus.    I'm no PR expert, but they do say all the mentions on the internet are beneficial, whether supportive or critical ("no such thing as 'bad ink'")...  and here we are mentioning them, talking about them, adding more to their "trending" on the internet.

I got sick and tired of both Will and Jada a loooong time ago. IMO she's a has-been.

@Love my grandkids  I would "heart" your post to agree, but she can't be a has been if she's a never-was.

        @Mom2Dogs, I found this online:

        "The dinner is paid for by tickets bought by the people attending the dinner, most are actually purchased by corporations and given to their employees and guests.  The dinner is also a fund raiser for scholarships for journalism students."

I thought the "comedian" who followed the President crossed the line with his "comedy" and wasn't funny at all!  He made a lot of people uncomfortable--you could tell by their faces.

I didn't enjoy much of his comedy last night but this event is known for its edginess.   His late night show is better.

Well, I knew what happens at this particular dinner, so you know what? I didn't watch. I thought most people knew what it was.
