I bet it sells better than the Jessica Tandy Calendar.
Betty White will be wrapping up her big year by releasing a 2011 Calendar for all of her fans:
Golden Girls star Betty White has created a calendar to raise funds for a wildlife charity in the US. Royalties from the actress's 2011 calendar will go towards the Morris Animal Foundation which White supports.
I love me some Betty White and am so happy that she's gotten all the publicity that she has this year. She's always hilarious, gracious and is one of the funniest women around. If you haven't been watching "Hot In Cleveland" on TVLand, you should start! It really is a funny show and the cast is a hoot to watch.
The new Sandra Bullock movie, The Proposal, opens this weekend and the PR machine is in full gear. In order to get as many girls and gays into the theaters, they've managed to get Ryan Reynolds on, not one, but FOUR covers of Entertainment Weekly.
Is it a good idea?
Abs-olutely!
Of course, Sandra Bullock will bring in a certain amount of people on her own (she is Sandra Bullock, after all). But, it never hurts to add a dash of Betty White tweaking your teets to help ease all age groups into the cineplex. After that hilarious spoof "interview" Betty, Sandra and Ryan did a few weeks ago...there is a chance that the movie just might be funny.
I actually like all three of those actors and, as much as it looks like rental material, I just may head to the theater this weekend for a wee bit'o wacky comedy and silly shenanigans.
Check out Betty White on the "Chelsea Lately" show talking about the movie and being a slut.
TV Land has signed Emmy Award-winning and audience-adored actress Betty White to star in the highly anticipated TV Land PRIME Original sitcom Hot in Cleveland, which is scheduled to premiere in June. White will take on the role of the snarky but lovable Elka Ostrovsky, property caretaker of the home that co-stars Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick rent after their plane makes an emergency landing in Cleveland and they decide to stay.
Besides Betty, I'm really excited that they also got Wendie Malick (always so funny on Just Shoot Me!) and Jane Leeves (Daphne from Frasier). Plus, it's nice to see Jenny Craig alumni, Valerie Bertinelli, back on TV again. Although, she doesn't look quite as bikini-friendly here as she did a few months ago in all the magazine spreads.
But, the fact that she's part of the cast at least dispells the nasty rumor that Kirstie Alley had eaten her.
If the show is half as entertaining as this preview...we may have some must-see TV Land to watch soon.
Yeah! It looks like the Facebook campaign to get Betty White on as host of Saturday Night Live actually worked...
Facebook has gotten Betty White the gig she never asked for: host of Saturday Night Live.
The 88-year-old actress, beloved by generations of TV fans, will host NBC's late-night veteran May 8. The Mother's Day episode also will feature a reunion of six former female cast members, most of them moms: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.
Michaels says that as the live show's oldest host, she can perform "as much as she wants to do" but adds that the physical demands of the show led him to plan the cast reunion, though make no mistake: White is the solo host.
With Betty and that cast of hilarious women from SNL past...it should be an amazing show. Hopefully they'll let Tina Fey and Amy Poehler write most of the sketches.
And, fingers crossed, perhaps we'll get a visit from Tina Fey's Sara Palin and, my personal favorite...
Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds have a new movie coming out soon called "The Proposal". Evidently, according to this behind-the-scenes clip, their co-star Betty White didn't quite get along with Ryan and things got a little "verbal" on the set.
Betty White turns 90 today and I still can't believe how good she looks and how much energy she continues to have.
Nothing put that more into perspective than watching her NBC special last night (which was very enjoyable) and seeing how badly poor Mary Tyler Moore looked (she's only 75, but suffering from diabetes-related illnesses) and Carol Burnett (she's 78, but suffering from too many plastic surgeries. She should have gone to whoever worked on Valerie Harper).
I love all of them, but for whatever reason, Betty really appears to be doing the best out of the bunch by a longshot.
Hey waiter, I'll have whatever Betty's having...it is obviously working very well.
Being the avid sports fan that I am (not), I actually went to a bar and watched the Super Bowl with my friend Pat yesterday and, although I'm still not sure who was playing (I was rooting for the blue shirts cause I like blue, but I think the gold pants won), I did get to see the best commercial ever.
Snickers created a hilarious ad with two of my favorite people...Betty White and Abe Vigoda.
Together!
I bet that Betty didn't even use a stunt double.
She's a pro.
I also enjoyed this Motorola commercial with Megan Fox. Not because she's in it...but because I always enjoy watching people slap each other.
"Timmy...what are you doing?!"

This Golden Girl proves why she’s still hot at 89. In this rap video, a duet with British singer Luciana, White drops beats, shimmies, and boasts about her, er, cherry cheesecake, all to benefit The Lifeline Program and the Los Angeles Zoo. A woman who raps, bakes, and raises money for causes she believes in? Now that is hot.
She actually does a pretty good job rapping...is there nothing she can't do?
Once she cures cancer and learns to fly, I think she should take a few days off and just relax.
I just read that there is a Facebook campaign that is focused on convincing "Saturday Night Live" to let Betty White host. I hope it's works because I think she'd be hilarious (especially compared to some of the lame hosts they've had on the past couple of years).
I'd like to see her play the Target Lady's grandmother...the two of them together might even be better than "Claaaassic Peg".
I think that Betty White did a dandy job on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. She looked great and was in almost every sketch that night (much more than her additional co-stars combined). If you missed the show, you can see each of the sketches by clicking here.
It was certainly one of their funniest shows (and one of their top rated) in a long time. I enjoyed the "Lawrence Welk" opening featuring the creepy sister with the tiny hands and big forehead, the "She's a Lesbian" sketch (Amy Poehler's dialog in that one was really funny "Oh, crackers!") and, of course, my favorite of them all was the NPR "Muffin" sketch.
"If there's one thing I'm known for...it's my muffin."
Hilarious!
There were also four additional sketches that didn't make it into the final show, believe it or not (and Betty was in three of them). A "Debby Downer", "Bronx Talk", and Molly Shannon's "Joyologist". If you'd like to see those, click here.
There are two big entertainment events going on this weekend...
I'm looking forward to watching Betty White host Saturday Night Live tomorrow night. I think it's great that the whole Facebook campaign was able to motivate Lorne Michaels to bring her on as host. She's really having a good year and I couldn't be happier for her.
Plus, it'll be fun to see some of my favorite ex-Livers like Molly Shannon (here's hoping there's a Mary Katherine Gallagher skit), Ana Gasteyer, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (hopefully she'll show up on "Weekend Update").
You go, girls!
And, of course, Iron Man 2 opens today.
If it's even half as good as the first one, I think I'll enjoy it.
I knew that she had been very sick for several years and suffered from Lewy body dementia.
But, she will always be remembered for her hilarious portayal of Sophia on "The Golden Girls". Although she played the oldest character on the show, she was actually a year younger than Betty White and Bea Arthur (who played her daughter, Dorothy, on the show).
Thankfully, "Golden Girls" reruns all the time and the DVDs for each season are now available, so she will live on to entertain people all over the world for many years to come.
It’s the end of an era at TV Land. The network has announced that Season 6 of its signature original comedy series Hot In Cleveland, now in production, will be its last. Hot In Cleveland, TV Land’s first original scripted series, was a breakout hit for the network — debuting with 4.8 million viewers — and put it on the original programming map. It reached the 100-episode milestone and was sold into broadcast syndication as well as in 210 territories internationally, a rare feat for a cable sitcom.
I've watched this show from the beginning because I enjoy all of the actresses in the cast, plus they often had great stunt-casting of guest-stars, which was fun.
I hope that Betty White and Wendy Malick end up on a new show soon.
Funny or Die shows us the sequel to When Harry Met Sally, with a more contemporary storyline that goes along with the popular vampire trend these days. Watch Billy Crystal and Helen Mirren in "When Sharon Bit Harry"...
