The Atlantic Wire released some of the table assignments for the dinner, including Steve and Anna’s! There’s a rumor floating around town that Rashida Jones, who co-starred with Steve in NY-LON (2004), will attend with Jon Favreau.
Newsweek: Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Colin Powell, Tina Brown, Bary Diller, Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, Saturday Night Live’s Jason Sudeikis, Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, Rep. Aaron Schock. (At the 2009 dinner, people thought sparks were flying between Favreau and actress Rashida Jones. Just something to keep in mind.)
Well, hell’s bells, I’m excited! Steve and Anna will be in the District on April 30 to attend the WHCA Annual Dinner with President Obama at the Washington DC Hilton. Saturday Night Live’s Seth Meyers will headline the event. What an honor!
“Tina Brown and Newsweek’s tables, Colin and Alma Powell will rub elbows with Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer of “True Blood,” Jason Sudeikis of “Saturday Night Live,” President Obama’s speechwriter Jon Favreau, Michael Kors and six-packed congressman Aaron Schock. Diane von Furstenberg will also sit with Newsweek to keep Barry Diller company.”
Vanity Fair is sponsoring one of the after parties at the French ambassador’s residence. Other after-parties include Capitol File’s event at the Ronald Reagan Building and MSNBC’s party at the Embassy of Italy.
Thanks to Emmalee S for the awesome tip!
Politics aside, that is some heady company. Anna and Steve…I hope you have a wonderful time.
As I write this I am watching Steve play the part of the young architect in Quills. A beautiful man then, a beautiful man now.
