While other starlets her age only wear suits to their DUI court dates, Kerry Washington is always in sharp business attire testifying before Congress for one cause or another.

She showed up on Tuesday to testify at a House Appropriations hearing on Funding for the Arts.

Way to go, Kerry. Thank you for being a kick-ass positive role model.

Chloe Sevigny showed up at the Cannes premiere of Zodiac looking — dare I say it? — pretty. And normal. They must put something in the water in France. Someone should take Britney Spears over there.

Co-star Jake Gyllenhaal was there, along with Kerry Washington, who’s not in the film but decided to show up anyway, because she had a cool dress.

Miss Kerry Washington showed up to testify before the U.S. House Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on NEA (Nat’l Endowment for the Arts) and NEH (Nat’l Endowment for the Humanities) Funding. Good for Kerry! It’s nice to see a young, beautiful celeb spending her free time doing something like this. If Lindsay Lohan ever showed up to testify before Congress it would probably be on some sort of criminal charge. Hey, can Congress impeach Lindsay Lohan? We should look into that. Everyone, write your senator.

Halle Berry’s boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, is way, way hot. Also: what was Pat Sajak doing there? Anybody? I even checked IMDB to see if he’d made a cameo or something in the film. I guess he just decided to show up to the premiere.
