The Marine Corps Ball is turning into a celebrity event, but the latest A-lister invited, declined .
While Justin Timberlake and his “Friends with Benefits” co-star Mila Kunis are planning to attend a gala—which marks the Corps’ 236th birthday—on the arms of active duty soldiers who invited them via YouTube, Betty White will not.
Betty White, whose late husband was an Army man, is already busy that night!
“I am deeply flattered and truly appreciate the invitation,” the 89-year-old said in a statement Monday. “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,” she concluded.
The charming Sgt. Ray Lewis went all out in his invitation video, explaining why White should go with him, performing pushups and displaying other feats of strength.
Sgt. Lewis, proudly in his dress uniform and holding a rose, explained “She’s funny, she’s sweet, she’s an all-around perfect woman…I think we could laugh together.”
