Rendell joins Hollywood stars invited to "Press Prom"

What do Samuel L. Jackson, Mike Myers, Whoopi Goldberg and Ed Rendell have in common? They are all invited guests of NBC News at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner this year.

The annual black tie glam fest has been dubbed the Press Prom because media outlets vie for the hottest celebs to join them at their tables.

Among the marquee Hollywood invitees (according to The Washington Post): CBS News (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner), Time Magazine (Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw), Fortune magazine (Glenn Close and George Lucas).

Others who may join Gov. Rendell at the NBC table are Mariska Hartigay, Colin Firth, Jason Batelman, William H. Macy and Warren Buffet.

It was not yet known if Rendell had accepted NBC's overture. The event is scheduled for May 9 at the Hilton Washington.
