“The DC shindig is just days away, but the guest list for this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner is still in flux. On the dropping-off list is Quantico‘s Priyanka Chopra and The Good Wife‘s Alan Cumming. Both have had to miss out on being USA Today‘s guests at the 90th annual dinner due to production scheduling issues,” writes Deadline’s Dominic Patten.
Men In Black star Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith however, have been confirmed as guests of ABC News bosses, who have also invited Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes and her leading stars Kerry, Tony Goldwyn, and Scott Foley to attend, reported Deadline.
Smith will also be reunited with his Independence Day co-stars Jeff Goldblum and Vivica A Fox, as the actors have been invited to join the Fox News party.
