Politico has compiled a roster of tonight's power and glitter at the White House Correspondents Dinner. So, natch, I've included only the celebs (below). Jay Leno will entertain at the annual media-politics-showbiz schmoozefest in Washington DC. At the prestigious gig last year, Wanda Sykes was more political than funny attacking Republicans during the dinner attended by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Clearly, the group wanted a blander 
and therefore safer comic emcee so C-Span won't have to use its 7-second delay button. This is Jay's 4th time hosting: he headlined the 2004, 2000, and 1987 dinners during the administrations of both parties. NBC is taking great pains to showcase Leno. I don't know why because Jay doesn't have Wanda's balls. Still, MSNBC is covering the event live, and Sunday the "Morning Joe" hosts will review the evening. From Politico, guests include:ABC Table: Kathryn Bigelow, Mark Boal; Modern Family's Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell; George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth, who invited J.J. Abrams and his wife, Katie McGrath.
