Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder can officially claim A-list status. Thanks to his work with The Impact Arts and Film Fund, Ian was invited to the 2011 White House Correspondents' dinner on April 30 and brought his co-star along as his plus one. We were gonna attend, but we were too jet lagged from partying it up in Buckingham Palace with Will and Kate the day before. Yeah, you know how it is.

Ian fits in perfectly in Washington. Maybe one day we'll be calling him Senator Somerhalder?

We're only *slightly* jealous of Nina's Chopard diamond necklace.

We're surprised Obama let him in — Ian's hotness is definitely a threat to national security!
