Betty White Named AP's Entertainer of the Year

Betty White has won the title of AP's Entertainer of the Year. The 88-year-old actress, currently starring in the sitcom "Hot in Cleveland", received more votes than Fox's popular TV show GLEE, Conan O'Brien, and the iPad. More than 100 ballots from news organizations decided who would snag the title. "It's been phenomenal, but everybody keeps congratulating me on my resurgence and my big comeback," White says of her recent success. "I haven't been away, guys. I've been working steadily for the last 63 years."
