Even at 89 years old Betty White is still breaking hearts. Sgt. Lewis had asked Betty via YouTube join him at the Marine Corps Ball, but Betty had said “no.”

So what’s Betty’s excuse? Does she have to have dinner by 4 and be in bed by 6? Maybe, but she claims that there is a scheduling conflict.

“I am deeply flattered and truly appreciate the invitation, as everyone knows I love a man in uniform…but unfortunately I cannot accept as I will be taping an episode of Hot in Cleveland,” White told Showbiz Tonight.

Poor Sgt. Lewis. But if he likes older women, maybe Ellen Albertini Dow is available. Remember the grandma in The Wedding Singer and a few other Sandler movies? She might be down.

Asking a celebrity to the Marine Corps Ball is becoming a right of passage. Sgt. Ray Lewis has stepped up to the plate and has asked the lovely Betty White to accompany him to the ball.

Lewis has served in both Afghanistan and Iraq, and he posted his video on Friday appealing to Betty. Lewis tried to sweet talk White by saying, ”She’s funny, she’s sweet, she’s mature, she’s the all around perfect woman.”
