Meanwhile, Dr. Mehmet Oz, known for his frequent spots on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," will make an appearance on behalf of Sony Pictures Television and singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder will have his own TechZone sponsored by the Sendero Group and the National Federation of the Blind.

Other notables who plan to attend CES include: CNBC "Money Honey" Maria Bartiromo; the hosts of NBC's "Today Show;" "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams; "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek; and IndyCar driver Sarah Fisher. Not a bad line-up, but in past years, the high-tech extravaganza has attracted even bigger star power. Previous attendees include actors Robin Williams, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, and Robert Redford plus a parade of musicians from Macy Gray and Joan Jett to Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and guitarist Dave Navarro.
