Why isn't the "other" TROLL in the picture on the right sitting at the bottom like Mr Rooney is? LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 WOW! Betty's in great company -- loves me some Gena Rowlands, she still looks amazing though she MUST be somewhere in her 70s by now..... Gena turned 80 (!) in June.

Brock Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Betty Mania is set to continue well into 2011 with her receiving her first two ever COMPETITIVE Screen Actors Guild Award nominations this morning! This is completely unexpected. I'm glad "Cleveland" is so well regarded by the Actors Guild. Go Bets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Betty was voted the Entertainer of the Year (2010) by the Associated Press! :HALKING: What Betty White did in 2010 doesn't usually happen: an 88-year-old actress with more than six decades in Hollywood suddenly became the object of adulation of the Facebook-connected masses, which campaigned for her to host "Saturday Night Live," boosting the show's ratings and helping her set ratings records for her own show. After a year remarkable for a star of any age, White has been voted the Entertainer of the Year by members of The Associated Press. "It's ridiculous," White says of the honor, in an interview from her home in Los Angeles. "They haven't caught on to me, and I hope they never do." But more than acclaim, her unlikely, age-defying success resonated deeply with people who saw in her a spirited, hilarious aberration, a woman not dimmed by age but enhanced by it: The genuine article in a pop culture awash in imitators. There were 102 ballots submitted from U.S. news organizations that make up the AP's membership. Voters were asked to cast their ballots for who had the most influence on the entertainment world and culture in 2010. Previous winners include Taylor Swift, Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert. The final tally was close: White's 20 votes beat the cast of "Glee," Fox's hit musical, by only two votes. Tied for third with 13 votes were Conan O'Brien, James Cameron and Apple's iPad. Jon Stewart closely followed with a dozen votes. White's 2010 began with her acceptance in January of a lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild. Her speech, in which she thanked SAG "from the bottom of my bottom," reminded many of her talent — showcased for years on "The Golden Girls" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" — for a sharp comedy cloaked by warm charm. Gesturing at presenter Sandra Bullock she asked, "Isn't it heartening how far a girl as plain as she is can go?" The appearance led to a fan-created Facebook campaign urging "SNL" to make her a guest host. After White's award-winning Snickers Super Bowl ad, more than 500,000 were supporting her on the social networking site.

C L A U D E Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Bravo, Betty! No one more deserving!! Well...maybe Kate Goselin but.... apparently her spawn were too young to vote! Has Betty been picked to be Grand Marshall of the Tournament of Roses Parade yet? Is she doing the color commentary on the Super Bowl this year? Has she been picked as a Vice Presidential candidate by any of the 2012 hopefuls yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 LOL! Oddly enough Betty has never been the Grand Marshal of the Rose Parade, despite hosting it a number of times. This year's Grand Marshal is Paula Deen... for some reason. The 2012 Presidential Hopefuls should be so lucky! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Betty, anyone else grab a copy of Hot In Cleveland DVD?? It's out now!!! Woohoo!!! Anywho...love the Lucy "tie-ins" in this tribute video, including the shot of Red holding one of Betty's books and the scene from GG when Betty shoves the kid out the door as she grabs the stuffed animal. The girl was Jenny Lewis, who back then briefly played LB's granddaughter Becky in Life With Lucy. Did I miss any more?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Anyone see Betty on Letterman a few minutes ago? I think it might be one of her most enjoyable interviews in a long time. She and Dave were having so much fun. Oh, she's back! And still having a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuttyNose Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Here is part of the show: Pretty sure that was water! As in all his "chugging booze" bits. BUT...yes it was delightful. She said earlier on The View how all the questions are usually scripted and then she harkened back to The Old Days where they just "wing(ed) it" on chat shows. I think Dave did her proud tonight. It felt as fresh as she used to like it! Fully winged! Wanged?? Wung?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
