Spotted in Georgetown: Nick Jonas of The Jonas Brothers, doing some shopping Tuesday afternoon. After stopping into Barneys CO-OP and Rugby — and being mobbed on one corner by young fans — the youngest brother got some pizza at Pizzeria Uno on M Street.
This would be his last free time while here in town. Jonas took a White House tour and met with President Barack Obama for a few minutes, before heading up to Capitol Hill. There, he took a Capitol tour along with Mary Tyler Moore, and met with Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., to discuss juvenile diabetes (he suffers from the disease). Jonas, Moore and boxer Sugar Ray Leonard are set to testify on diabetes at a Capitol Hill hearing this morning.

For a completely different type of music sighting, that was Billy Gibbons, the legendarily bearded front man for ZZ Top, strolling down Seventh Street in Penn Quarter on Monday evening. Proving not much has changed since the band’s “Legs” days, he was accompanied by two much younger women.
And that was celebrity chef/culinary sex symbol Eric Ripert, signing copies of his new book Tuesday afternoon on the sidewalk cafe of Westend Bistro, his restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton.
