Jay-Z and Beyonce were not at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night (and neither was Lindsay Lohan so simmer down, Tom Brokaw), but that doesn't mean there's nothing fun to report. Come for the jokes. Stay for the jokes, people. President Obama and host Conan O'Brien brought lots of chuckles last night with their joke lineups, one the best being the hilarity of Obama's fashion bangs. LOL!

Here are the funniest jokes you missed if you didn't tune in last night (and seriously, who did?). 

Have you seen this stupid graphic on the "Mommy Business Trip" yet? If you haven't, please go and have a look -- and then we'll discuss. It's basically a cartoon strip of all the "wild" times we mommies have when we travel for those blogger conferences. Mainlining cheeze doodles from the minibar, FTW! Right.

Honestly, I just had to laugh. Because if these guys had any idea what really goes down at these mommy blogger conferences? Holy hell, they'd shut us down in a heartbeat.

You guys, I've seen some cringeworthy newscaster moments (remember the "Boom goes the dynamite" guy?), but Sunday evening's blooper from an NBC station in Bismarck, North Dakota just might take the cake. Rookie news anchor A.J. Clemente hadn't had a lot of air time before, but thanks to YouTube, he's definitely destined for Internet fame now.

Not that he's likely enjoying this attention, of course. The poor guy messed up his broadcast so badly, he's now been fired ... and the worst part is, his live F-bomb (and subsequent horrified stuttering) happened on his very first newscast. Ohhhhhhh, the humanity!

(Warning: R-rated language ahead!)

Time has announced its 2013 list of the 100 most influential people. And guess who's on the list? A lot of women -- women who are having a profound impact on motherhood as we know it. Not all of these women are mothers, either. But we feel their influence. Here are just 12 we think are especially meaningful for moms.

There's really only one word to describe the demeanor in my living room during the Glee school shooting episode last night: uncomfortable. At one point I caught my husband staring with his mouth wide open. And we have -- fortunately -- been untouched by the mass shootings that have occurred in America in recent years. So I could only imagine what was going on in Newtown, Connecticut last night.

The Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy is less than four months old. And before the "Shooting Star" episode began, the folks in Newtown had no warning.

A homeless man in Illinois may have just been given the perfect opportunity to get back on his feet by winning the lottery -- literally. Pastor Greg Davis of United Pentecostal Church in Dekalb witnessed an obviously homeless man grinning over his winning ticket.

Davis, who had stopped at a gas station in Bloomington on Thursday night, said, “I was standing behind a man who was obviously homeless for a couple of different reasons you could tell he was certainly down on his luck.”

Prosecutors announced Monday that they will seek the death penalty for James Holmes, the man charged with killing 12 and wounding dozens of others in last summer’s Colorado movie theater shooting spree. Arapahoe County DA George Brauchler said, “It’s my determination and my intention that in this case for James Eagan Holmes justice is death.”

The move was not unexpected, as the prosecution rejected a plea offer from Holmes’ lawyers last week. The offer would have exchanged life in prison without the possibility for parole for a guilty plea.

In 2008, California passed Proposition 8, which defined marriage as an institution between one man and one woman in the state’s constitution. Close to 53 percent of Californians supported the measure, which is the same percentage of Americans that voted for Obama for his historic win.

Since California is a solidly blue state, it’s pretty safe to assume that if they voted overwhelmingly to keep marriage between a man and a woman, the majority of Americans as a whole probably didn’t support gay marriage.
