Hollywood on the Potomac

Published March 16, 2008 4:00am ET



We’re almost getting spoiled with all this Hollywood love. … The latest sightings and news around town:

» The movie “State of Play” spent some time Friday and Saturday filming at George Washington University (and Jeff Daniels made an appearance) before heading to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on Saturday (where they made it rain!). Russell Crowe and Rachel McAdams joined them for continued HUD filming on Sunday. Look for “State” this week at Ben’s Chili Bowl and the Watergate Hotel.

» That was the Cleveland Cavaliers (in town to lose to the Washington Wizards on Thursday) crashing at the Four Seasons.

» Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee pulled into Washington Dulles airport on his way to his performance at Saturday’s ShamrockFest 2008, held at RFK Stadium’s Festival Grounds. Not far behind Lee at the airport was Fat Joe, in town to play at the club Love on Saturday night. Rocker Sheryl Crow picked the more convenient airport — Reagan National — when she arrived Sunday at 2 p.m. Crow came from New Orleans and was on her way to Baltimore, where she performed at Pazo, for a concert benefitting the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults.

» Grammy nominee Raheem DeVaughn and Lil’ Mo celebrated Grammy Career Day on Friday with local high school students at the University of the District of Columbia. When asked why he hasn’t shelved his name for a stage name, DeVaughn replied, “I am blessed cuz my name just rolls off the tongue so nicely.”
