No other actress has the buzz that Betty has—from constant reruns of “The Golden Girls” to “Hot In Cleveland” to the Facebook campaign landing her a hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live,” Betty White has never been more beloved.  In her spare time, Betty selflessly helps vulnerable and endangered animals. Now, take a look at her storied television career and her impact on the industry and let's see where she goes from here.

Books: The Q Guide to Charlie's Angels

Author and superfan Mike Pingel (who also runs CharliesAngels.com) has written The Q Guide to Charlie's Angels, a fun and frothy little somethin' somethin' about the gayest show of the 1970s. I'll be interviewing Pingel in the next few days or so and we'll be able to get all sorts of Charlie's Angels fun facts straight from the horse's mouth.



Of course, the awesome cover of the Angels in their classic pose is drawn by cartoonist extraordinaire, Glen Hanson of Chelsea Boys fame. I wonder whatever happened to The Chelsea Boys? It was a great comic strip and I know there were plans to make a cartoon out of it but I haven't heard anything new in a couple years at least.
