While most celebrities like to have their day in the sun ... not all of them should. Check out these stars and tell us if you prefer them Snooki orange or Pattinson pale.

Wearing her finest Easter colors, Betty White was spotted out in Los Angeles yesterday taking a leisurely stroll.


Her career resurrection continues.

Lindsay Lohan is telling friends she's "saddened" 89-year-old Betty White decided to rip on her to a British tabloid ... insisting Betty has no right to judge her.



A source close to the actress tells TMZ ... Lindsay isn't "angry" with Betty ... she's just disappointed the Hollywood legend would put her on blast while she's trying to get her life and career back together.

As we previously reported, White went after Lohan and Charlie Sheen to the Daily Mail -- saying she "cannot stand" their over-the-top lifestyles ... and noting, "They party too much, don’t learn their lines, are unprofessional, and they grumble about everything. I think they are terribly ungrateful.”

Betty White just UNLOADED on Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen -- claiming she "cannot stand" their over-the-top lifestyles ... and blasting them for letting their careers spiral out of control.



Betty went off on the stars yesterday ... telling the Daily Mail,  “I cannot stand the people who get wonderful starts in show business and who abuse it. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen for example."

But Betty didn’t stop there -- claiming, “They party too much, don’t learn their lines, are unprofessional, and they grumble about everything. I think they are terribly ungrateful.”

Back in her day, Betty adds, "We considered ourselves lucky ... and were always on our best behavior in public." Times have changed.

Betty White is celebrating her birthday this week with a raucous birthday party at one of the fanciest restaurants in NYC -- and the whole thing kicks off ... at 6:00 PM. Say goodnight, Gracie!



TV Land and the cast of "Hot in Cleveland" are throwing the soiree in Betty's honor Tuesday night (her actual birthday is Monday) at Le Cirque in Manhattan. TMZ snuck a peak at the menu for the evening -- which includes pigs in a blanket, mini crab cakes, and a shrimp display.

Broiled chicken and Salisbury steak did not make the cut.

"Hot in Cleveland" stars Valerie Bertinelli, Betty White, Jane Leeves and Wendy Malick all showed up to the same event in NYC on Tuesday.



Question is ...

Rue McClanahan will truly be missed ... for her smile, her compassion ... and her ability to tell a dirty joke.


TMZ obtained footage of Rue and her gal pal Betty White from 1985 -- in which the ladies swap some R-rated humor ... and it's pretty damn hilarious.

RIP Rue.

Betty White has released a statement on the death of her close friend and "Golden Girls" co-star Rue McClanahan.

White states, "Rue was a close and dear friend.  I treasured our relationship.  It hurts more than I even thought it would, if that's even possible."

Rue died this morning at the age of 76 after suffering a massive stroke.

We took your questions on everything today -- including Charlie Sheen possibly leaving "Two and a Half Men," Tiger Woods' divorce, and LiLo contacting Britney Spears' manager.

Plus: Betty White on SNL ... and how much does that kid on "Two and a Half Men" make anyway?

Not only did Betty White manage to stay up until 1am to host  'SNL' -- the golden girl even had the energy to hit up the afterparty.


Betty showed up to Doc's Steakhouse in NY after her hosting gig -- and partied it up with the "Saturday Night Live" crew into the wee hours of the morning.

White seemed to make one hell of an impression on the SNL cast -- who had nothing but the greatest things to say about Betty after the show.

Betty White has a little confession to make -- the thought of hosting Saturday Night Live is making her nervous as hell!


The Golden Girl is set to host SNL in May -- and apparently, even someone with more than 65 years of TV experience can't shake the dreaded butterflies!
