David Gregory Cuts The Rug To Biz Markie

Nice to know that even with the serious tone that Tim Russert infused Meet The Press, David Gregory still acts like he is in his 30s (even though with the gray hairs he looks a couple decades older). And it is testament to Biz Marlie's skills as DJ that he can liberate the staid pelvis of the host of that venerable Washington Sunday morning talking head program. From Style:

"Star offspring were also in attendance at Sunday's The Root Ball thrown by the Washington Post Web site and dedicated to African-American issues. Samuel L. Jackson brought along daughter Zoe, who campaigned for Obama. 'When we tell young people that they can grow up to be president or anything they want, it's actually a true statement now,' Jackson said before joining Spike Lee, Chris Tucker, and Oprah in the VIP room. The Root's was one of the few balls that actually involved some serious dancing—no surprise with Biz Markie on the decks. Meet the Press host David Gregory got down while other guests lined up to do photo shoots with a surprisingly lifelike cutout of the Prez-Elect."


Also at The Root party: Oprah (Stelter writes: "In his welcome remarks, the editor-in-chief of The Root Web site, Henry Louis Gates Jr., said that Ms. Winfrey is 'probably responsible for two million votes' for Mr. Obama."), a dancing Eugene Robinson, Larry King, Gayle King, Diane Von Furstenberg and Natalie Portman.
