Eliminated American Idol finalist, Colton Dixon, attended the White House Correspondents Dinner as a guest of the Christian Broadcasting Network.
Colton was so excited, he tweeted photos of himself with a slew of celebrities including Diane Sawyer (above), Jimmy Kimmel, Mary J. Blige and Kate Hudson.
After the dinner, Colton tweeted, “Time for after parties. I’ve met so many fans so far! It’s so cool to meet you guys! Makes me excited for your:-) #idoltour”
Jimmy Kimmel hosted the event. You can watch his and President Obama’s speeches at The Hollywood Reporter. Take any political discussion there, OK? Let’s keep this post focused on Colton….
Glee star, Darren Criss was also in attendance, but alas, he tweeted no photos of himself with celebrities. Ha.
