I end up writing about this every year... But what the heck, it's a cool event... I'm talking about the annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner. It's a star studded D.C. affair, where the media, Hollywood and politicos all collide... I have been in the past... Went as a wide-eyed, wet behind the ears youth when I worked back in D.C. It felt very cool to be in the presence of so many stars, from so many constellations!
This year it's hosted by Wanda Sykes, from New Adventures of Old Christine... This year the guest lists are pretty wild...
Here is a list of the CBS guests....
Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner
Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty and his wife Michelle
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine
Environmental Protection Administrator Lisa Jackson,
Treasury Department Communications Director Stephanie Cutter
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
Hollywood Producer Joe Pichirallo
White House Advisor Tom Donilon
White House Advisor David Jacobson
Press Secretary to Michelle Obama Katie McCormick
President Obama's personal secretary Katie Johnson
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy
Argentine Ambassador Hector Timerman
They will be joined by Country Music star Brad Paisley and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams, guests of Chief White House Correspondent Bob Schieffer, a country music artist in his own right. Schieffer met Paisley at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, where they both performed. Also on hand will be Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus of CBS' "The New Adventures of Old Christine," which co-stars Wanda Sykes -- this year's entertainment for the event -- and Dreyfus' husband, Hollywood director Brad Hall.
