Ask—nay, demand—and Lorne Michaels will listen, sort of. For the last month or so, fans of Betty White have been clamoring for the “Golden Girl” to host “Saturday Night Live,” and according to Michael Ausiello at Entertainment Weekly, producer Lorne Michaels is game. However, he’s apparently not sure that White, who is 88 years old, will be able to carry the show on her own, so he’s supposedly assembling a roster of funny ladies to host together. Molly Shannon is on board, and Michaels is going after “SNL” alum like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as well. The idea of all these women on “Saturday Night Live” totally excites me, but I totally think White could pull off the hosting gig on her own. I mean, would Michaels not allow Clint Eastwood—who is turning 80 this year—to host on his own? Betty White, while up there in years, is a professional, and a hilarious one at that—I say she should get the coveted hosting gig all for herself, unless she feels like sharing. [EW]

• Who would be the best host of “Saturday Night Live” ever? Betty White! A very vocal group of fans on Facebook are pushing for the 88-year-old to host the show. When I checked, there were over 190,000 fans. I say it’s a go.
• On Tuesday, “I Love New York 2” contestant Jamal Rashead Trulove was convicted of first-degree murder. In 2007, just three weeks after filming the VH1 show, Trulove shot and killed Seu Kuka in San Francisco. Trulove was only on one episode—he was dismissed early for fighting. Kinda makes you wonder about the screening process for these shows, huh? Sadly, he’s not the first person suspected of murder after appearing on a VH1 dating show. [Yahoo]

“My answer to the question ‘What haven’t you done in your career’ is always Robert Redford. I’ve never met him and I would be embarrassed if I did.”

Could Betty White be any cooler? This year, she redeemed “The Proposal,” spoke out on Sarah Palin, and showed off her beer pong skillz. Last night, she appeared on the “Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson,” rockin’ a Santa suit. I can’t wait for her to get her Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award next month.

Today is Megan Fox media blackout day, so we aren’t going to talk about her at all. Okay, stopping now. But what we do wanna talk about is how the dude websites that made this anti-Megan (err, have to stop talking about her) pact are replacing her with “Golden Girl” Betty White. We are super stoked about this, because Betty is pretty amazing. After the jump, a few reasons why Betty White is the coolest old lady around. Besides my grandma, of course. [Asylum]

Former “Golden Girl” Betty White and Jimmy Fallon played an epic game of beer pong on “Late Night” yesterday. Jimmy Fallon has already lost to Anna Kournikova, Serena Williams and Ivanka Trump but he finally managed to break his losing streak. We were rooting for Betty and give her props for sinking the first shot. Too bad the two didn’t play a whole game. If they had, Betty would have cleaned house.
