The FishbowlDC Interview With Gossip Gal Nikki Schwab

I usually leave that to my folks, who let me know if anything creepy comes up when they Google my name. Who is your favorite working journalist?John Heilemann--even before I read "Game Change" I was a fan of his column in New York Magazine. Did you see "Twilight" and "New Moon?" If so, who is more your type, Edward or Jacob?You're seriously going to force me to admit this? Alright - Team Edward all the waaaayyyyy! Who would you rather have dinner with - First Lady Michelle Obama or Bestselling Author and former V.P. candidate Sarah Palin? Palin. I'm fascinated by the concept of a moose burger. What word do you routinely misspell? Stephanopoulos and surprised. What's the name of your cell phone ring? "Old Phone" - on my very new iPhone. What swear word do you use most often? Fudge. What word or phrase do you overuse? "Fail". I say it all the time. What TV show do you have to watch? I'll give you a hint - it involves Ron Ron Juice and a character named Snooki.

The Washington Press Club Foundation Dinner's After Party has traditionally been hosted by CQ. But this year, things are changing. The After Party on February 10 will be sponsored by The Hill, which will pay for the food and band. The entertainment will be Nobody's Business -- the 7-piece blues/rock band featuring McClatchy's award-winning foreign correspondent Jonathan Landay. CQ-Roll Call will continue to be labeled as supporting the Pre-Party. "We're delighted that when the dinner ends the fun will continue at The Hill-sponsored after-party," said Jim Kuhnhenn, Washington Press Foundation President and scribe at the AP Washington Bureau. "It's a weeknight, but the chocolate will keep you awake. And so will 'Nobody's Business.' Fresh from a Journopalooza gig last month, they've proved you've got to be a journalist to sing the funky blues."
