Betty White

(L to R) Grammy Norma (BETTY WHITE), Audrey (TAYLOR SWIFT) and Ted (ZAC EFRON) are on the race of their lives in "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax", a 3D-CG adventure from the creators of "Despicable Me" and the imagination of Dr. Seuss.

The Lorax is an unsubtle eco-fable that features engaging characters, brilliant 3D and a world that looks suspiciously like that of Despicable Me [it’s from the same creative team]. It’s true to the spirit of Dr. Seuss and just plain spirited.

Forget everything you thought you knew about the older generation. “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers” takes senior stereotypes and blows them out of the water with a cast of sassy septuagenarians who are hip, sexy and ready to party! America’s favorite comedy sweetheart sends a fearless band of senior citizens to the streets to pull shockingly hilarious pranks on the younger generation in “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers,” an outrageously funny “hidden camera” show unlike anything viewers have ever seen.  White, a seven-time Emmy Award winner, will star and executive produce the series, adapted from the hitBelgiumseries “Benidorm Bastards.”  “People have been telling me that I’m ‘off my rocker’ for years,” says White.  “Now I can prove it!”

Yes, that’s right! On May 8, 2010, the First Lady of Television [60 years on TV!], Betty White makes her long overdue first appearance as guest host on Saturday Night Live!

Betty White

Best known as the perennially innocent Rose Nylund on Golden Girls and the scheming Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, White most recently stole The Proposal out from under Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds whenever she was onscreen.

Although it is not known what sketches the show’s writers will create for her, I, personally, hope at least one addresses her many game show appearances [where she showed herself to be a remarkable improviser] and another gives us a Rose Nylund who is closer to her off screen, ribald self.
