Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer, who moonlights as a musician, is bringing country music recording artist Brad Paisley. TV Newser reports Schieffer and Paisley met each other “at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, where they both performed.” If the conversation’s dull, maybe Schieffer and Paisley could perform his hit “Celebrity.”

‘Cause when you’re a celebrity, it’s adios reality.
You can act just like a fool;
People think you’re cool just ’cause you’re on TV.

Other celebrities at CBS tables: Hollywood spouses Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Julia Louis-Dreyfus — who plays Wanda Sykes’ “wife” on TV — and Julia’s husband, director Brad Hall. The list is full of political heavy weights too: Mayor Adrian Fenty, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Gov. Jon Corzine, Amb. Hector Timerman, and Colin Powell. White House names at the CBS tables include Stephanie Cutter, Tom Donilon, Arne Duncan, Michele Flournoy, Lisa Jackson, David Jacobson, and Katie Johnson.
