Betty White

If popping up in The Proposal, scolding students on The Middle and macking with her grandson MacGruber on Saturday Night Live wasn't enough Betty White for you, you're in luck. The "It" gal of the year (sorry Amanda Seyfried and Zoe Saldana!), is headlining a new sitcom, Hot In Cleveland, which premieres on TV Land Prime this June.

Betty plays Elka, the caretaker of a home rented by three L.A. transplants. "They inherit me along with the house," says Betty. Elka's been in Cleveland the past 50 years honing a razor-sharp tongue that's gonna put these Hollywood girls in their places. "I'm a pain in the neck," Betty declares. If that's not enough to get you to tune-in, here are three more reasons to watch.

Can't wait for her new show! She is truly an inspiration.

Isn't it just so trendy to love Betty White? Is she really all that??

People love a comeback, especially at such an old age. I'll def be watching.

I think she's always been very funny, and has a sly and sneaky wit. It's just that she was always overshadowed by her costars. For most of her life, she's worked in ensemble pieces and like a very good actor, drew attention to the part and not herself. It's now her time to shine.

It does feel like a trend to love Betty White... but you have to hand it to the woman. She's 88 and a half, as she kept reminding us on SNL. She looks great and is healthy. We should be proud of her just for that.

What a great role model. We should all try to be that active when we reach 88 - heck, even 44!

Betty White just reminds me of better times, maybe because I was an avid viewer of the Golden Girls.

I love Betty White as much as the next person, but I think we're headed for a Betty backlash.

at least the spotlight is on someone who has something to contribute to society - unlike the Lindsays. Paris' or Heidis of the world - I'll take Betty over any of those embarrassing airheads any day -
