Happy Birthday Betty!

Today the internet's hottest babe, Betty White- turns 29! Oh, I mean 89! Happy Birthday Betty!!

Just a reminder I loved Betty waayyy before it was cool! I loved her when I was 8 years old and stayed home to watch "The Golden Girls" each Saturday night (oh the party invitations I must have turned down!).

I also loved her all over again in the 90's when Nick at Nite began airing reruns of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" back to back weeknights at 9pm. Oh who would I be without Sue Ann Nivens or Rose Nylund?

Betty White Forever!!!!!

This fall Hollywood ingenue Betty White is going to guest star on one of my favorite comedies, NBC's "Community." She's going to be a rappin' granny or something. And I can't wait!

She just won an Emmy for hosting SNL, and in recent years has guested on "Ugly Betty," "30 Rock," and "The Middle." It just got me thinking that there is no show on the air that I wouldn't want her to be on. Herewith, my ideas for other guest roles Betty should consider:

"True Blood"- who wouldn't want to see Betty turn up as a feisty vampire?!? Maybe the Sheriff of a neighboring area? Or she could be an old but vicious werewolf!

"Mad Men"- the CEO of a cigarette company that won't take no guff off nobody, including Don Draper whom she sets her sights on seducing.

"Dexter"- on a crowded street someone bumps into poor Betty's character and she falls and breaks her hip. This is a case for "The Dark Defender"! Dexter's gotta murder the pusher!

"Grey's Anatomy"- She's Alex's pill poppin' granny. She's in town to help him get over Izzie once and for all. And while she's at it, she has a hot affair with the Chief.

"The Office"- Aren't they about to launch a search for the new Michael Scott? Bingo!

I just wish she could have been slipped in on "Lost" as Jacob's grandma.

Remember how in our "Salute to the Elderly" show we named Betty White our favorite elderly celebrity? Of course you do!

Well, anyway- the fine folks over at 'Vanity Fair' evidently heard that and decided to jump on the White bandwagon. They've gotten BW to answer their monthly Proust Questionnaire. The cutest answer? My choice is:

"VF: If you were to die and come back as a person or thing, what do you think it would be?

Betty White: Jane Goodall."

How Deserving!

Betty White was given the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award last night!  

Golden Award (etc.)

This January the Screen Actor's Guild is going to give Betty White a much deserved lifetime achievement award!!

She is one of the greatest entertainers in TV history, a woman who has literally worked in the medium since it was invented! Congratulations are in order!! As Lynn Rose would say, "Bravo Betty White, Bravo."

(Note: I just thought that picture was really funny!)
