I have to confess that I’m a huge fan of Betty White.  It seems like the older she gets, the funnier she becomes, and it’s not like she wasn’t funny when she was in her heyday on programs like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, but starting with The Golden Girls and running through her appearances in things like Lake Placid, the $100-million dollar picture The Proposal, and her recent Snickers commercial with Abe Vigoda,  it seems like Betty White is the hottest property in Hollywood at the moment, and there’s a big push to get her a spot guest-hosting Saturday Night Live.

While nobody’s called Betty, she says she’d do it provided she could work it into her busy schedule.  Here’s hoping Lorne Michaels heeds the call, because I’d return to NBC just to watch Betty White do her thing with the Not Quite Ready For Prime-Time Players, and I know I’m not alone.  Who would have ever thought that an 88-year-old woman would be the most popular figure around?  I’d imagine no one is as mystified by this as Betty is.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
