If you have money and/or connections, Washington DC is the place to be today. There are so many people gathered for the presidential inauguration, CNN is shooting from a satellite in space! But sadly some celebrities are stuck in Park City, Utah, forced to navigate gifting suites instead of cheering our new 44th president. We might have forgotten about the Sundance Film Festival altogether if it wasn’t for a few of our favorite musicians making the scene. Death Cab For Cutie’s Ben Gibbard makes his acting debut in Brief Interviews With Hideous Men directed by The Office‘s John Krasinski, based on the David Foster Wallace story. His fiancée Zooey Deschanel (the She half of She & Him) co-stars in 500 Days Of Summer. Guitar documentary It Might Get Loud features guitar connoisseur Jack White. And Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek were on hand to promote Doors doc When You’re Strange. They all posed for photos. Mariah Carey was there too, but you’re on you’re own with that.

    Acting debut? Um….. ever heard of a little TV show called the O.C. Ben made his acting debut on there as an indie rocker who sold his soul.

  17. This probably isn’t fair, but the first thing I thought of after seeing the photo was Disney’s Ichabod Crane:

    Zooey is going to trade in her great name for Gibbard, Zooey Gibbard. It’s like that scene from THe Wedding Singer… “Julia Gulia”.

    p.s. he looks like an idiot.

    i’m probably not the first to point out, but does anyone else think Zooey Deschanel looks a lot like Katy Perry? Well, a prettier version atleast…

  24. i just found out about the whole ben and zooey thing. its weird.
    i mean, i do like zooey dont get me wrong. i just think its like.. “im an actress whos gonna do the whole singer thing!” then, “im gonna do the whole singer turns indie folk-rocker thing! and to make it better, ill marry the king of all indie-ness, ben gibbard!! im so oh-so-indie!”
    thats only my opinion, though folks. maybe its genuine love. who knows?
