While we didn’t get too many Sanjaya spottings over the weekend, it seems like a few actual celebrities mixed it up at this weekend’s White House Correspondents Dinner. Sheryl Crow and Laurie David, producer of An Inconvenient Truth, chatted with Karl Rove between cocktails and dessert. Crow and “Inconvenient Truth” producer David walked over to the presidential adviser’s table, where David suggested that Rove “take a new look at global warming.” David says Rove…
Good morning, Washington. We hope you had as pleasant a weekend as we had, running around in that gorgeous warm sunlight and forgetting you ever complained about the weather in this city in the first place. Not even the threat of rain later this week, nor the mess of traffic on Saturday night that resulted from what was reportedly the least fun White House Correspondents’ Dinner ever, could ruin our overall improved moods. Seasonal affective…
Attending Saturday’s White House Correspondents dinner continues to get less and less appealing. First, it was announced that Rich Little, a comedian whose popularity peaked in the 1970s, would host. Compared to Stephen Colbert’s able hosting last year, we weren’t terribly excited about seeing Little’s famous Richard Nixon impression. Now it turns out that American Idol’s latest cast-off, the adorable yet dubiously talented Sanjaya Malakar, will be there too. In an apparent coup by People…

If you do, or just enjoy hearing them, you may want to attend the Roast of Anthony Williams on October 18th at the Marriott Wardman Park. The event is part of a Southeastern University gala, and for the low price of $250, will feature jokesters like Adrian Fenty, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Councilmembers David Catania and Jack Evans, GWU President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and Broadway actor and D.C. native…
Like it or not, the details of the personal lives of the rich and famous intrigue us. We like to know what exists behind that public facade, what quirks make the celebrity, pol, athlete or rock-star just a little more human. And just as we once found out that mayoral candidate Linda Cropp owns an iPod and stocks it with audio books and that D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams enjoys bird watching, today the Examiner brings…
Courtesy of our friends over at FishBowlDC, we’re getting word that Stephen Colbert is going to be the MC for this year’s White House Correspondents Association Dinner. With a fake news style taken straight from Bill O’Reilly, Colbert has been amusing audiences as of late with his Colbert Report (silent on the t’s, of course — “It’s French, bitch,” exclaims Colbert).
