It’s that time of the week where Gone Hollywood brings you the best of the best in celebrity quotes from all over the web! For today, we have Betty White on “Saturday Night Live” talking about Facebook, Jake Gyllenhaal’s sexy body and Robert Pattinson’s revelation on “Oprah” that Kristen Stewart is pregnant. Enjoy! TGIF!
“The Jake Gyllenhaal workout plan…starts with growing long, long hair…gorgeous greasy locks and then washing every day….Wash, shampoo, then condition. Washing works the biceps and then the triceps by conditioning. And vigorously rubbing all of your body with soap really defines the abs and the pectoral muscles. And if you do squats while you’re bathing – that’s it!”
– Jake Gyllenhaal, joking with Entertainment Tonight Canada about his super-buff Prince of Persia look
“Kristen’s pregnant.”
– Robert Pattinson, dodging the question of whether he’s dating his Eclipse costar Kristen Stewart by starting a rumor, on The Oprah Winfrey Show
“[Ben Stiller] won’t win…[Bradley Cooper] doesn’t deserve to be on that list…[Ryan Reynolds's] eyes are too close together.”
– The Hangover’sZach Galifianakis, sizing up his competition for MTV Movie Award’s best comedic performance, to MTV

“You go through the works, and then you’re like this perfectly prepared sausage…no one ever sees what goes in.”
– Scarlett Johansson, explaining how she glams up for red carpet appearances, to V magazine
“It’s my novel called Modelland (pronounced “Model Land”) that takes you to a fantastical place you’ve never seen, or heard about, or read about before…Where dreams come true and life can change in the blink of a smoky eye.”
– Former supermodel Tyra Banks, introducing her latest venture on Tyra.com
“She’s 53 and I’m 49. Soulmates is for Romeo and Juliet. This is, ‘Hey, I try not to fart in your presence.’”
– Sex and the City 2′sJohn Corbett, on his eight-year relationship with actress Bo Derek, to People
“I also try to read all of my fan mail. A lot of them send me candy, which I’m not allowed to eat ’cause my mom says it might be poisonous.”
– Justin Bieber, to Time magazine
“When I first heard about the campaign to get me to host Saturday Night Live, I didn’t know what Facebook was. And now that I do know what it is, I have to say it sounds like a huge waste of time.”
– Betty White, during her SNL opening monologue
“I’m made of 99% ham and 1% water. I was just cooked that way!”
– Mike Myers, on how he’s naturally a goofball, to Parade
It all started with a campaign on Facebook and Betty White was brought on to host Saturday night’s episode of “Saturday Night Live”.
The 88-and-a-half-year-old actress brought the funny with her monologue, saying that she when she heard about the campaign, she had no idea what Facebook was. And now that she does, she’s found that it’s a huge waste of time.
She went on to say that people have told her that the site is a good way to connect with friends, but if she wanted to do that, she would need a Ouija board.
My favorite part of the evening is when Betty did her “Delicious Dish” muffin segment with Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon. I died laughing when she said that her muffin hasn’t had a cherry since 1939.
I couldn’t contain myself when she unveiled her “giant Dusty muffin”. Ana promised to show off some sweet muffin shots online later. Along with the giant female cast on the show, Betty was absolutely hilarious, it was one of the best SNLs I’ve seen in a long time. What was your favorite part?
“USA Today” must have been watching a completely different show…how could they not appreciate the comedy gold found in this episode?

There you have it! What was your favorite quote for the week?
Now that over 480,000 Facebook fans have put in their request, will Betty White finally make an appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’?
In a word, “yes.”
That’s what the legendary Emmy winner announced at the 18th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Viewing Party, held last night in Los Angeles.
White remained tight-lipped on the full details of her appearance, but she did offer her thoughts on the Internet movement, which she called “wonderful.”
Indeed, it’s been a great year for the 88-year-old, who earned big laughs while accepting her SAG Lifetime Achievement award in January. She followed that with a surprise appearance in a Super Bowl commercial for Snickers (alongside ‘Barney Miller’s’ Abe Vigoda, no less). Fans quickly took notice, and launched the now-famous campaign.
In recent weeks, there had been rumblings that White would co-host a “Women of Comedy” special episode alongside ‘SNL’ alums Tina Fey and Molly Shannon. Executive producer Lorne Michaels has since denied the reports.
White — whose career has spanned multiple decades, with roles on such TV classics as ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ and ‘The Golden Girls’ — has never hosted ‘Saturday Night Live.’

Estelle Getty, best known for playing Sophia on TV’s “The Golden Girls,” has died. She was 84.
Getty, who suffered from advanced dementia, died at about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday at her Hollywood Boulevard home, said her son, Carl Gettleman of Santa Monica.
“She was loved throughout the world in six continents, and if they loved sitcoms in Antarctica she would have been loved on seven continents,” her son said. “She was one of the most talented comedic actresses who ever lived.”
“The Golden Girls,” featuring four female retirees sharing a house in Miami, grew out of NBC programming chief Brandon Tartikoff’s belief that television was ignoring its older viewers. Three of its stars had already appeared in previous series: Bea Arthur in “Maude,” Betty White in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and Rue McClanahan in “Mama’s Family.” The last character to be cast was Sophia Petrillo, the feisty 80-something mother of Arthur’s character.
“Our mother-daughter relationship was one of the greatest comic duos ever, and I will miss her,” Arthur said in a statement.
When she auditioned, Getty was appearing on stage in Hollywood as the carping Jewish mother in Harvey Fierstein’s play “Torch Song Trilogy.” In her early 60s, she flunked her “Golden Girls” test twice because it was believed she didn’t look old enough to play 80.  “I could understand that,” she told an interviewer a year after the show debuted. “I walk fast, I move fast, I talk fast.” She came prepared for the third audition, however, wearing dowdy clothes and telling an NBC makeup artist, “To you this is just a job. To me it’s my entire career down the toilet unless you make me look 80.” The artist did, Getty got the job and won two Emmys.
“The only comfort at this moment is that although Estelle has moved on, Sophia will always be with us,” White said in an e-mail to The Associated Press after Getty’s death was announced.
Sad, if not entirely unexpected, news.
It’s amazing that it’s been more than twenty years since that show debuted. An amusing fact not mentioned in the obit: Getty was two years younger than Bea Arthur, whose mother she played.
