Washington D.C. is a company town filled with political celebs, but at least one weekend a year, Hollywood types descend en masse on the buttoned up town. That's The White House Correspondents' Dinner, where politicians and reporters get to roast each other with inside jokes, on Saturday evening it was a full-on red carpet affair.
The night is "more Hollywood than Washington" said Colin Powell at the Washington Hilton, after almost getting trampled by a Jonas brother.
A few minutes later, Powell shook hands and chatted with Oval Office adviser David Axelrod, when Chevy Chase mosied into view. Powell interrupted stopped his conversation to playfully punch Chase. The retired general made his way through the throngs to exchange pleasantries with Donald Rumsfeld. Not far away, Greta Van Susteren spoke with (get this) Kim Kardashian!!! Really!!!
Jeremy Renner, the hero of "The Hurt Locker," walked unnoticed, and in the other direction, Matthew Morrison, from "Glee" joined some actors from the cast of HBO' s "The Pacific." "Top Chef" judge Padma Lakshmi made her way behind Chace Crawford.
Dana Delany sat down alone and Patricia Arquette, told the Washington Post that she felt like "alien from another planet". "I expected it to be more obvious," she said, "Who was a Democrat, who was a Republican, who was a senator, who is in the press. But they all look the same."
