How much you wanna bet he wrote that himself.

Born in St Paul’s Hospital and raised in Vancouver, Peggy Middleton began her stage career as a teenager, first at the Beacon Theatre with a boxing kangaroo, and then dancing at the Orpheum and the brand new Palomar Supper Club in 1937. She changed her name to Yvonne De Carlo, moved to Hollywood and after a series of minor roles catapulted to fame with Salome, Where She Danced in 1944. The following year, she was voted “The Most Beautiful Woman in the World.” Today, she’s probably best remembered for her roles in The Ten Commandments, A Band of Angels, and, of course, The Munsters.

Betty White to Barack Obama: ‘Thank You For Being a Friend’
Hey, remember how Clint Eastwood created memes for centuries by talking to an empty chair at the RNC? In the words of Matthew and Peter Slutsky — twins, political activists, Betty White lovers, staffers at Change.org and WordPress.com, respectively — Eastwood gave “old people a bad name.” So, last week, the duo decided to launch a campaign for another old person — Betty White — to introduce Obama at the DNC, to, shall we say, to set the record straight. It went, well, viral.
So, Slutskys: Why Betty White?
We live in serious times and lots of people are struggling. We Slutskys believe that a little more Betty White in all of our lives is just what America needs to pull us out of this rut.
What can Betty White teach America?
In all seriousness, a lot of the discussion post Clint #Eastwooding has been centered around the fact that he’s “lost it” was “off his rocker” and just plain “old.” Not all old people talk to empty chairs and almost all of them vote! So, we wanted to shine a light on our favorite older American (besides our Grandmom Helen, of course) and tell America that old people are hip (they don’t just break them).
This article is nice, but also just photoshop me over my girl BDubs there and it’s pretty much GPOY 24/7.

I’ve watched the Tami Taylor Y’all video about 6 times already today. Her voice is like bacon candy to me somehow.

Just started S2 of FNL, so it’s nice to see my girl Tami smile again.
I let myself get sucked into The Killing. How am I supposed to get anything done today when I can’t stop watching it. It’s especially fun to try to recognize what parts of Seattle they’re in.
I love one of its central characters. Rain. For the record? Rain is lying.
FUN FACT: When I interviewed Billy Campbell recently, he addressed this exact issue, saying that they make rain on the show because the real thing is such that it simply doesn’t show up on camera in the way they need it to.
By the way, he loves our rain too, and takes great pleasure in how well residents know it, and was smiling when he told me ”people from the Pacific Northwest are always stopping me to tell me ‘it doesn’t rain like that here!’” so don’t be afraid to rib him about it if you ever meet him out and about somewhere. He’s practically one of us now.
These pics of RiRi at Coachella rolling a blunt on her bodyguard’s head are still totally making my life… giving new meaning to Instagram.
Billy Campbell’s back in Vancouver and loving every gray, rain- soaked minute of it. The actor has been a sporadic resident since 1998, and he’s currently in town filming the second season of The Killing, the AMC crime drama in which he stars as Darren Richmond, a cagey politician in a town riveted by the unsolved murder of a young girl. But Campbell’s no interloper. Not only does he own his own spectacular loft in Yaletown, he also boasts a laundry list of Vancouver bona fides, having hiked the notorious Grouse Grind, shredded nearby Cypress Mountain on a snowboard, jogged through Stanley Park, surfed the frigid waves off Vancouver Island, and “contemplated” the Sun Yat-Sen Gardens in Chinatown with the aid of a certain homegrown specialty. Most important, though, is his affection for the city’s notoriously bleak weather. “I wake up here and it’s gray and rainy, but I feel like it’s a sunny day,” he says, which might explain his good cheer as he takes us to his favorite spots for dining, drinking, and relaxing by a fire during a typically damp day in “Hollywood North.”
O hai, internet. I did this interview! Billy is rad as all fuck and we already have plans to go drinking again soon.
