Women Of Mary Tyler Moore To Reunite

The five female cast members of the Mary Tyler Moore Show will reunite for the first time ever in an upcoming episode of Hot In Cleveland.

In the Hot In Cleveland episode, which tapes April 5, I hear Elka (White) and Mamie Sue (Engel) decide to get their bowling team, named GLOB: The Gorgeous Ladies of Bowling, back together. They reunite with former team members Diane (Moore), Peg (Leachman) and Angie (Harper). The quintet had a falling-out after their championship season went to their heads. This is believed to be the first time the five former castmates will act in front of a camera since taping the MTM finale in 1977. It’s also Moore’s second visit to Cleveland — she previously played Elka’s cellmate in a Season 2 episode. Shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show paved the way for female driven comedies like Hot In Cleveland. Hot In Cleveland, toplined by White, Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick, returns for its summer season with a live episode June 19.

Quote Of The Day - Betty White

"Oh! I didn’t know I was a gay icon. I get a lot of mail — but I don’t get many bad letters — but I got a woman the other day that was so upset with me because they said, 'How do you feel about the gay marriage thing?' and my answer to that is, 'I really don’t care with whom you sleep, I just care what kind of a decent human being you are.' I figure all the rest of it is your business and not mine. And not hers, incidentally." - Betty White.

The perfect song for your Saturday pre-clubbing rituals. There'll be a production video soon of this audio-only (for now) clip.

Betty White On Her Gay Fans

"I think the gay community seems to like old ladies, they always have. And when we were on live with Golden Girls on Saturday night they'd shut down the music, stop the dancing, watch the show, then turn the music and the dancing back on. We were very grateful and they've been dear friends." - Betty White, speaking to WNYC.

Not the usual McGovern fare.

Betty White Meets Koko

Clip description: "Koko, the famous lowland gorilla who can speak to us through the use of American Sign Language, has long been a fan and good friend of Betty White, the renowned actress and animal rights advocate. The Gorilla Foundation is kicking off this 'Month-of-Love' by releasing a photo slideshow of some of Koko and Betty's tender moments together. White is a board member of the Foundation, and is a big Koko fan herself." No audio, btw.

Quote Of The Day - Betty White

"I don’t care who anybody sleeps with. If a couple has been together all that time - and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones - I think it’s fine if they want to get married. I don’t know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don’t worry about other people so much." - Betty White, in an interview with Parade Magazine.

Betty White Lines

The St. Olaf Glee Club, better known as Frank DeCaro, Fredrick Ford and Jim Colucci, have created a hysterical Grandmaster Flash-y tribute to Betty White. DeCaro is a midday host on SiriusXM's OutQ, Colucci (his husband) is the author of The Q Guide To The Golden Girls. (They were a hilarious companions on my trip to Key West last October.) You may know Frederick Ford from gay porn, although he's recently pursued a career as a singer and performed at NYC's Folsom East last year.
