Celebrity side dish: Celebrities frolic at White House Correspondents Dinner
Sunday, May 10th 2009,
Hollywood came back in force to DC for the White House Correspondents Dinner. Many showbiz Democrats passed on the dinner when President Bush was the guest of honor. “I skipped it the last four years,” Dana Delaney told our Gatecrasher colleague Laura Schreffler at Friday’s Creative Coalition/Capitol File screening of Barry Levinson’s “PoliWood.” Ludicris, partying with Kevin Bacon and Kerry Washington at Friday’s People/Time party, promised that, with Barack on the mike, “This year, people won’t be nodding off!” While the New York Times boycotted the dinner (it doesn’t want its reporters looking chummy with the pols they cover), other news organizations gloried in the administration officials and celebs they’d wrangled for their tables. ABC touted top White House aides Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, along with Jon Bon Jovi and Kate Walsh. CBS scored Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. CNN claimed Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and Tyra Banks.
Fortune nabbed Glenn Close and George Lucas while Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw did Time. Bloomberg landed coveted pirate-survivor Richard Phillips. Strangely, “Gossip Girls” hunk Chace Crawford chose to sup with Fox News’ O’Reilly/Hannity gang.
