Betty White Introduces 'Monday Night Football'

Is there anything this 89-year-old spitfire can't do? Last night, Betty White introduced Monday Night Football’s Atlanta Falcons-New Orleans Saints game with a commentary on why she loves football. Watch the intro here:

 
Let’s put it this way: the world’s unlikeliest football fan certainly has a unique view of the game. Not only did she admit to loving the collisions -- they remind her of some of her friends "who are still driving" -- but she also squealed about loving the excitement, the eye shadow and, "oh, those hot-looking quarterbacks of today!" White even gave a special shout-out to the two hot star players from last night's game: "Tonight, two unopened gifts left under the tree, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees!"

Sure, it’s kind of creepy. But that’s the point. White could be any grandma, sitting cross-legged in her antique living room chair, between the Christmas tree and the stockings hung with care. Listening to her endearing voice, you can’t help but feel like her grandchild, sitting across from her on a plastic-covered couch, and balancing a plate of shortbread cookies on your lap. Then she casually remarks that "Ryan's nickname is 'Matty Ice' because he's so cool, but I prefer 'Matty Steam' because he's so hot." And you choke on your cookie.

White, who kick-started her current career resurgence with a 2010 Super Bowl ad, has gotten a lot of mileage out of those types of unexpected remarks. She’s still chugging along as the wit at the heart of TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland. And she’s got her own hidden camera show, Betty White’s Off Their Rockers, coming up. NBC has described the show as being "in the vein of Jackass and Punk'd." That should be interesting…

But first things first: She’s got to turn 90. Naturally, we’re all invited to her party, Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America's Golden Girl (Monday, Jan. 16, at 8 p.m. EST, on NBC). Joel McHale, Mary Tyler Moore, Amy Poehler and her Hot In Cleveland costars will all be on hand to help her celebrate.

If she’s lucky, maybe some NFL hotties will show up, too!

'Hunger Games' Suspense Kicked Into High Gear In 2011

The film might not hit theaters until next year, but casting announcements and exclusive interviews got fans worked up for March release.

For the millions of fans who have been eagerly awaiting a film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best-seller "The Hunger Games," 2011 gave them even more to be eager about as details trickled out about the movie, which is due in March.

We at MTV News have been as caught up in the frenzy as everyone else. And along the way, we've been able to speak with the major players involved in the "Games," gleaning the juiciest details from the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson.

Back in January, before casting was solidified, Hemsworth told MTV News he'd read the script and that he could actually see himself in the role of Peeta. After Hemsworth won the role of Gale instead, we chatted up his older brother and fellow actor Chris Hemsworth, who revealed that he helped Liam prep for his big audition by reading the role of Katniss. "I did. Swear to God," he said. "I read that. Put my girly American accent on."

In May, we had our first "Hunger Games"-centricchat with Jennifer Lawrence. She discussed fans' initial protests over her blond hair, which quieted after she dyed it, along with the intense hours of archery training she went through to become as convincingly handy with a bow and arrow as Katniss is.

"It's lots of training, but the training is actually really fun," she said. "I've done archery for about six weeks, rock climbing, tree climbing and combat and running and vaulting," she said. "Also yoga and things like that to stay cat-like."

We also caught up with some of the film's supporting actors. Lenny Kravitz, who is ready to further prove his acting chops in the role of sympathetic District 12 stylist Cinna, said he's doing his homework by immersing himself in all Collins' books. Elizabeth Banks was a bit more cagey in revealing any details about her transformation into pink-haired, type-A Effie Trinket, but she did admit that she and co-star Woody Harrelson have chemistry.

Harrelson, who plays alcoholic Hunger Games survivor Haymitch Abernathy, praised Lawrence's portrayal of Katniss and revealed that his character's hairstyle was inspired by his own brother. "I was like, 'OK, let's get a wig. Let's do the Brett Harrelson hair,' " he said of the long and slightly shaggy style. "It's kind of cool. I really liked the look. It's a fun character, and I think it's going to be a good movie."

Fellow supporting player Stanley Tucci, a.k.a. the blue-haired Caesar Flickerman, echoed Harrelson's sentiments about Lawrence's performance. "She was amazing," he said. "They were all amazing. She's just so good and so mature at such a young age. It was really fun. Really fun. And [director] Gary Ross, he's great."

We didn't have to take Tucci's word for it, as we also sat down with Ross for an exclusive interview surrounding our debut of the "Games" teaser trailer back in August. The "Seabiscuit" and "Pleasantville" helmer took us through his detailed plans for the film and the challenges of filming.

And we finally stole a few moments with Peeta Mellark himself, Josh Hutcherson, who took us through his grueling audition process and the anxious wait for the news of his casting, why he was "so right" for Peeta and his excitement for the fans to see the finished product.

"It's exciting to hear people are that interested in something you're doing, so it's a little nerve-racking, but I'm onboard," he said. "The fans for 'The Hunger Games,' they're die-hard. They're the best fans in the world, so I'm really excited for them to see the movie."

Check out everything we've got on "The Hunger Games."

How Will William & Kate Celebrate New Year?s Eve?

There will be no raucous New Year's Eve for the royal newlyweds this year. As they celebrate the close of a huge year, Prince William and Kate Middleton will be ringing in 2012 surrounded by family, reports Us Weekly. Only days after their 8-month anniversary, the happy couple will reunite with the rest of the royals in Aberdeen, Scotland, at Birkhall, a 53,000-acre estate belonging to William's father, Prince Charles.

Spending both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day there, they will be joined for pomp and circumstance by Charles and his wife Camilla Parker-Bowles. And, unlike Christmas with her in-laws, Kate is also expecting her parents Michael and Carole for the festivities. Although, if the Middletons do attend the celebrations, they won't be crashing in any of the estate's guest rooms over the holiday weekend.

"(The Middletons) are staying at Teapot Cottage or another cottage on the estate, not Birkhall itself," a source tells Us.

All eyes will be on the stylish duchess to see if she brings out her newest accessories again -- a pair of Kiki McDonough earrings, believed to be a Christmas gift from her handsome hubby. The 29-year-old Duchess of Cambridge was spotted wearing them on Christmas Day, going to and from church with the royal family. The drop earrings are green amethysts surrounded by diamonds on a diamond hoop, and retail for a little more than $3,000.

Whether Kate will be rocking her new earrings or not, we're sure she will make the celebration sparkle.
