Don't be hurt if I didn't invite you- of course I'd love to invite everyone I love but this had to be limited and I decided not to invite people I typically have dinner with! Emilee suggested Winston Churchill and aunt ju proffered CoCo Chanel after we laughed at her previous suggestions above. I'd rather discuss fashion with CoCo than worry someone will bomb my party to take out those other two!

OK, I have to say that Hitler and Stalin would be HORRIBLE dinner party guests. Hitler would complain about everything, and if his meat wasn't cooked just right, the consequences would be severe. Stalin would not offer much conversation and would probably just sit there and brood the entire time while getting drunker and drunker, and then you'd have a belligerent drunk dictator on your hands at the end of the evening (which is the worst kind of dictator), and some unlucky person would have to drive him home.
My guest list would of course include Paul McCartney, but he'd probably be really busy, so Ringo Starr would be a decent substitute (and he's not busy at all these days). I started to suggest the Rolling Stones, but Mick Jagger would probably spend the entire evening trying to seduce Lorelai, and Keith Richards would ruin all the spoons, so maybe that would not be such a good idea. I also think Olivia Manning would be a classy guest. Thoughts?
Yes, I totally agree with you about the Hitler/Stalin consequences-- I just don't think in any reality it would be a good idea to get those two together. I mean, dinner parties are stressful enough, what with the picking out the menu and flower arrangements and seating charts and what to wear as a hostess, and the last thing I'd need on my mind was whether or not those two were whispering behind my back as to the color of the tablecloth and chargers. It would just be too stressful.
I totally agree that you'd have to be super careful about inviting all those rockers-- I probably wouldn't provide enough beer and/or harder substances for their tastes. I'm sure they are used to wilder nights than eating porkchops at my house with Parker, Anne of Green Gables and myself. I'd be paranoid they weren't having a lot of fun.
Olivia Manning would be fabulous- Archie as well-- they seem like such a nice, normal, polite family.
Speaking of people we wouldn't want to eat with-- Pete Boone and anyone else from the Athletic Department; Paris Hilton, anyone from Jersey Shore (although perhaps putting The Situation next to Hitler would provide some laughs. And probably another round of extermination camps directed toward Guidos. Is that a bad idea?), and Ed Begley, Jr. That's a good (or bad!) start!
