Betty White Go Balls Out With The Marines

World War II soldiers had the Hollywood and Broadway canteens if they wanted a chance to dance with screen or stage stars. Today's Marines have YouTube, the Marine Corps Ball and, judging by the latest invitee, good taste.

Dowager queen of the universe Betty White is the latest celebrity whose presence was requested by one of the few, the proud, the Marines.

Her ersatz date, Sgt. Ray Lewis -- no, not the Baltimore Raven -- has served in Afghanistan and Iraq, although it's unclear whether he's done any tours of duty on "Password."

"She's funny, she's sweet, she's mature. She's the all-around perfect woman," said the good sergeant, who also raps under the name RSonic. "I really think we'd have a good time. ... I think we can laugh together. So, call me!"

Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake confirmed Monday on "Today" that both have accepted their Marine Corps Ball dates, Sgt. Scott Moore and Cpl. Kelsey de Santis. Kunis and Moore will attend in Greenville, N.C., and Timberlake and de Santis will attend in Washington, D.C.

The annual dance takes place Nov. 10 in multiple cities to celebrate the Corps' founding. Or as Kunis said on "Today," "Marines have a lot of balls."

will extend video invitations to Salma Hayek, Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz as soon as we can find a video camera. And a ballroom. And a glitter ball, two tuxedos that aren't silkscreen-printed T-shirts and R. Lee Ermey to DJ.
