Hollywood hit DC hard when comedy website Funny or Die joined forces with Kimball Stroud for a  star-studded pre-party before the annual White House Correspondents'  Association dinner, produced by  Impact Arts + Film Fund.  TV's original 'mad man' Jon Hamm posed for pictures  with fans and then snuck behind the VIP ropes to enjoy a quieter drink  and was seen texting from his seat. Also circulating to chat with with party-goers was two time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White who is excited  to attend the official dinner this weekend.
