This is so exciting that Summit is confirming that the celebs will be there. That makes it less likely that any will pull out because it seems to be part of the press tour for BD. A lot of times, Creation announces guests and they end up no showing the event but since Summit is backing it hopefully that means that will not happen. I cant wait to go!
