When people tell me that the CES is a SHOW, I believe them. But a celebrity show? I guess, if you consider Bill Gates and Kevin Martin to be celebrities.

But being a CES virgin, I was shocked and thrilled to find out that Sony is turning its booth into a celebrity hangout on par with The Ivy of Beverly Hills. Last year, Disney stole the show by bringing Evangeline Lilly and Matthew Fox from TV’s Lost. Now it’s Sony’s turn.

The Daily Variety reports that this year Jerry Seinfeld, Tony Bennett, and Drew Carey will be in attendance at the Sony booth on January 7 at 9 a.m., the opening day of the show. Vanna White and Alex Trebek will also be in attendance. That is if Mr. Trebek can recover from his recent heart attack. Perhaps, Will Ferrell will step in with a Saturday Night Live imitation?

But we will have our super zooms on hand beyond the Central Hall. Michael Douglass will be at XStreamHD’s booth and Mary J Blige will perform at Monster Cable’s Retailer Awards and Concert. We aren’t sure why either of those HD companies would select those personalities for displaying High Def content. We assume Gerard Depardieu was busy.

To be honest, I’d love to see Ashton Kutcher under the lights of Vegas. And it wouldn’t be totally out of character for Ashton to show up since he is Ooma’s Creative Director.

We will be tuning into the Celebrity Entertainment Show (CES) whenever we can and keeping you updated….
