Now THAT is a dress!

This might not be the Oscars, but Kate Walsh is totes looking awards show ready!

Decked out in a glam black and white Carolina Herrera gown for the White House Correspondents' Dinner, we love when the stars bring their fashion A-game.

This over-the-top print could easily swallow other women, but with her striking red hair and gorgeous body, Kate owns that dress.

Risk worth taking, Kate!

It's not easy being fashion-forward AND dressing for politics!

But Kerry Washington did it well!

The actress keeps killin' it on the red carpet, and we expected no less for the White House Correspondents' Dinner!

In a simple yet elegant Wes Gordon black and white dress and Louboutin heels, Kerry looks classic but still like a fashionista.

We adore the fit up top, and even though the print edges on tablecloth, Kerry totes made it work!

And to top it all off, she is so rockin' those Michelle Obama bangs!

Carrie Underwood is a champion for those who cannot fight for themselves: the animals!

We previously mentioned that a bill had been passed by the Tennessee legislature that would force whistleblowers to release undercover video of animal abuse to the police within 48 hours of capturing it.

The problem is that animal rights activists say that 48 hours isn't enough time to show an ongoing pattern of abuse.

Because the bill was passed, it's now up to Governor Bill Haslam to sign it into law or veto it.

We previously told y'all about the beef Carrie Underwood had with a proposed bill that would make undercover animal investigations potentially illegal.

Which made one local politician, Andy Holt, very unhappy. Here's what he said:

“I would say that Carrie Underwood will stick to singing, I’ll stick to lawmaking.”

Aww hell no!

You know our country girl ain't gonna take too kindly to that! And we were right!

Here's what Carrie tweeted back:

We previously mentioned that there has been a lot going on in the world of politics regarding ag gag bills.

These are laws that would make it illegal to undercover document animal abuse and not turn it over to police within 48 hours.

The problem with the law is that 48 hours doesn't give an undercover whistleblower enough time to gather sufficient evidence to show a pattern of constant abuse.

Well Tennessee lawmakers have recently passed a similar bill and Carrie Underwood is very disappointed!

Seriously… does 90% really mean nothing to them??

After the overwhelming masses supported a modest gun bill to ensure stricter background checks for the purchase of firearms, the Senate cowered and DENIED the bill.

Blasted for their fear of the NRA, every single one of those Senators who voted 'no' has been called out for their "cowardice" by Gabby Giffords and countless others.

When President Obama said it was a shameful day in Washington, he wasn't kidding!

Everyone — well, 90% of everyone in America — is FURIOUS right now.

Check out how the stars are responding …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

There was a bill about to be voted on by the Assembly Agriculture Committee that was pulled three hours before voting.

It was a bill that would have limited undercover farm animal abuse investigations!

The bill would have made it so that anyone collecting evidence of abuse would have to turn it in to the cops within 48 hours.

The problem with that is it's not enough time to collect enough evidence to show a pattern of illegal activity, according to animal advocates.

The author of the bill said:
