Get on the phone, Lorne!

Betty White was recently asked about the Facebook campaign to get the legendary actress on as host of Saturday Night Live and she said that she would be up for it!

"I don't know where that came from," says Betty. "That came out of left field. I understand they've had all of these hits. That would be up to Lorne Michaels."

Betty was also happy to report that fellow Golden Girl Rue McClanahan is doing well after suffering a stroke last month:

"Ruesie had a little health problem, but she's back home in New York and feeling better. I'm delighted and thrilled to report that."

We're delighted as well and we love that she calls her "Ruesie!"

But seriously Lorne, pick up that phone right NOW and set it up!

      I love Betty White, but this campaign for her to host SNL (a show that hasn't been funny in decades) is just another PR ploy to bring fame to the already famous (celebs seem to constantly need their egos stroked) and redemption to a failing show (of all the shows to connect your name to and you choose SNL?…no, Betty, no bueno).

      And word at the pool at the Beverly Wilshire is that she stopped trimming a long time ago. I'm just saying what I heard.



    24. 24

      I'd rather watch her than J. Lo. At least she's funny.
      SNL's supposed to be a comedy show, why do they keep booking people with no comedic timing whatsoever?
