Guys, Isn't Betty White Too Old to Do SNL By Herself? [Worries]


Betty White, beloved old lady of the moment, might be hosting Saturday Night Live, as fans have been clamoring for, just not by herself. It might be with a team of comediennes. Some folks don't like this idea. Really guys?

The lady, spry and snappy as she may still be, is 88 years old. You want her to do an hour-and-a-half long live show until one in the morning? Certain far younger adults can't handle that ordeal. White is hilarious and good for a few zingers while accepting an award or popping up on a talk show, but hurrying through those quick-changes and shouldering the bulk of sketches, not to mention monologue duty? It would just make us nervous. Plus who wants to see wonderful old Betty White suffer through that Jars of Beer/Model T Cars skit or Whut Up With That?


We hope that Lorne Michaels and Co. go ahead with this multiple funny women idea, but give Betty the real A Material and a fun part of the monologue. Let the others trudge through the rest of the muck. We love Betty White and, sure, maybe she could power through it. But how much would any of us really enjoy the show, being so anxious the whole time about a nice old lady getting confused or something? We've all seen our fair share of terrifying hosts (sorry, but she was) and just don't want that negative association put on Ms. White's head. There's so much embarrassment potential with hosting SNL, and subjecting an 88-year-old woman to that seems cruel.

Over A Year After Android Launch, ShopSavvy Finally Comes To The iPhone

ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications. It launched in October of last year after winning one of the initial Android Developer Challenge top prizes (when it was still known as GoCart). But despite the success it has seen on Android, one question remained: When would it be available for the iPhone. Today, it finally is. Developed by the guys at Big In Japan , ShopSavvy is an app that allows you to use your device as a portable barcode scanner. You point your phone's camera at any barcode and it will read it, do a product look up, and give you information about the product, as well as where you can find it online or at nearby stores and for how much. Obviously, something like this is a window shopper's dream. ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications.

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left." Deadpan gallows humor: the only possible response to having Courtney Love as a client. (Besides asking for a hefty retainer.) [ P6 ] Before Lauren Conrad's contract expired in March, MTV...
