Almost always a scene for sightings, Cafe Milano‘s celeb-spotting was on overload Sunday afternoon as Hollywood and political stars packed in for the Newsweek/Daily Beast with Credit Suisse Bipartisan Inaugural Brunch event hosted by Tina Brown, Harvey Weinstein, Eva Longoria, Mark McKinnon and Pamela Thomas-Graham. According to Brown, it was “where Democrats, Republicans and their food tasters all sit down together!”
“I dream of a time when the spirit of this brunch carries across our capital city… I mean, frankly, why not?! If a star football player can have a mythical girlfriend, why can’t I have a mythical Congress?!” she quipped.
Attendees included upcoming Secretary of State Sen. John Kerry; Presidential political consultants David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett; media analyst Howard Kurtz; former Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen, Rep. John Dingell and his wife Deborah Dingell; former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; former Sen. Chris Dodd, Washington Post’s Bob Woodward, Ambassador Nancy Brinker, Gen. Colin Powell; Arianna Huffington; Charlie Rose; Miss America 2013 Mallory Hagan; Star Jones; Rosario Dawson; Alfre Woodard; and Kerry Washington.

“This was a bruising campaign… We were all very loyal to our parties and we were all very loyal to our candidates, but now its time for us to be loyal to America…”
