It's April 27th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today. Your AI-powered Entertainment Report. Mentalist Oz Perlman stole the show at the White House Correspondence Dinner on April 25th. Sitting at the head table, the 43-year-old guest press secretary Caroline Leavitt's unborn baby's name, Vivian, letter by letter on A. No Pat. It was a personal mind-bender that lit up the room with Trump and First Lady Melania right there. The trick kicked off backstage when the 28-year-old Leavitt challenged Perlman after they bonded over parenting. Conversation got cut short by the president's arrival, so they picked it back up at the dayus. Leavitt had teased the night, would be funny with some friendly jabs flying. Melania Trump reacted with genuine surprise when Perlman revealed Vivian, turning heads amid the crowd. The 28-year-old secretary married 15 months to 60-year-old Nicholas Riccio. Already has a 22-month-old son named Nicholas. Baby Vivians do in May.

Leavitt pushed back her maternity leave, set for April 27th after a shooting shook things up. Despite the dinner turning into one of the toughest political nights lately, Perlman told Variety he's lined up for a rescheduled gig. That personal win cut through the chaos, showing how these moments stick even when plans go sideways.
