Hollywood meets Washington (and Obama) Saturday

Saturday night is the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner here in Washington, also known as the Press Prom, where various news and information organizations try to outdo each other by inviting the biggest name celebrities they can get, most of whom have no connection to covering or commenting on the news, to sit at their tables. But, hey, it's fun.
10443841H22379859 Among those expected in town this weekend are Tim Daly, co president of the Creative Coalition and an advocate for the arts, Kate Walsh (his Private Practice co-star), Kevin Bacon, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Chace Crawford, Eva Longoria Parker (that's Eva at left)…see what I mean?
Rescue Me's Denis Leary, author of the book Why We Suck:A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid, and his wife Ann also will attend, I learned from Denis when we talked earlier this week for an upcoming interview.  He told me it is his wife's secret wish to dance with the president and Obama is the one man about whom he'd say, "Yes, sure, fine, take pictures."  Denis' wish? "Grab a secret smoke with him."
And yes, the president and first lady are expected, as are all the important players in the administration.
Speaking of important players, Oprah tweeted from this week's Time magazine dinner for its 100 Most Influential People. "SO FUN TIME 100. My first time. So many interesting, smart peeps. including Twitter guys," she tweeted. Oprah is now taken with Twitter. It's fun to follow her. I like that she only tweets about the interesting stuff. Get on board with her here.
