NEW YORK — Betty White is catapulting to true “IT girl” status with her very own calendar.
It’s true. The 88-year-old actress is posing for her own 2011 calendar. Some of the photos are archival, others are Betty with animals and more than one month features Betty posing with shirtless, beefcake-type men.
The Betty White Calendar costs $12.99 and will go on sale in September.
Royalties will go to the Morris Animal Foundation where White serves as a trustee.
In May, White became the oldest person to host “Saturday Night Live.” She’s co-starring in the new TV Land original sitcom, “Hot in Cleveland,” which airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern/9 Central.
Snoop Dog seeks British soap cameo
Hip hop star Snoop Dogg has revealed he’s a fan of British soap opera “Coronation Street,” and wants a cameo on the gritty show.
Snoop told fans in Manchester, northern England, on Thursday that he has been watching “Corrie” for 11 years and had asked his agent to see if he can make an appearance. He said producers “said they were interested so hopefully it might happen.” The long-running show is set amid the cobbled streets and terraced houses of the fictional working-class community of Weatherfield.
Snoop recorded a video message to mark the show’s 50th birthday earlier this year.
The 38-year-old star is an established soap opera fan, and in 2008 made an appearance on U.S. soap “One Life to Live.”
