Betty White Sends Regrets to Marines

July 19, 2011 Celebrity Highlights

Hollywood "It Senior" Betty White is flattered by the invitation to attend the Marine Corps Ball, but unfortunately, Miss White regrets, she cannot attend, due to scheduling conflicts.

The 89-year-old funny lady was asked by Sgt. Ray Lewis in a charming YouTube video that came after his fellow Marines, Sgt. Scott Moore and Corporal Kelsey De Santis asked Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake to the November gala.

Watch Timberlake and Kunis send their messages to the marines in "Extra's" interviews!

White released a statement through her publicist, saying, "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.' Love, Betty White."
