Veteran actress BETTY WHITE has filmed a video encouraging over-50s to join a retirement group so they can "make the most" of life.
The Golden Girls star, 89, wants more older people to sign up to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), a non-profit social welfare organisation aimed at Americans over the age of 50.
White is the new face of the group and in the advert she is seen telling viewers not to dread ageing and to "get over it".
She says of her new role, "The message is, you can’t get rid of me. I think it’s your mental attitude. So many of us start dreading age in high school and that’s a waste of a lovely life. ‘Oh… I’m 30, oh, I’m 40, oh, 50.’ Make the most of it."

Hip-hop producer TERRACE MARTIN has removed a photo of KIM KARDASHIAN’s breasts from his album cover after the TV star complained about the unauthorised use of the saucy snap.

The picture has now been removed and Devi Dev, real name Devon Anjelica, has spoken out about the mix-up.
She tells TMZ.com, "We didn’t even know they were her boobies because obviously I don’t recognise her by her nipples."

Actor JAMES MCAVOY fears for the future of the British film industry, because he is convinced U.K. moviemakers are "dumbing down" to satisfy the American market.
McAvoy, who will next been seen in superhero blockbuster X-Men: First Class, believes British directors are making too many compromises and he is adamant simplifying scripts is "patronising" U.S. viewers.
He tells Britain’s Sky News, "We dumb our movies down because we want Americans to understand them. The Americans watch it and go ‘This is a really unsophisticated dumbed down movie. Why would we want this? Why do we like this? We don’t.’ "It’s like we’re patronising them and short changing ourselves…" But McAvoy insists Oscar-winning British movie The King’s Speech proves intelligent U.K. films can be a success, adding, "I think the whole thing is to keep trying to make the best possible movie that you can and hopefully the cream rises to the top. And sometimes you know you look at something like The King’s Speech, which is made for relatively little money compared to X-Men and it just keeps making money, making money, making money."

British actress JANE LEEVES puts on an American accent whenever she is out and about in the U.S. because she struggles to be understood when she speaks in her natural voice.
The Frasier star has lived Stateside for nearly 30 years, and despite retaining her posh English accent, she insists on speaking in an American drawl to avoid confusion in the U.S.
She tells U.K. TV show Loose Women, "I’ve lived there (America) longer than I’ve lived here (England). I don’t feel like this is home anymore and I still feel like a foreigner there. They (Americans) think I sound terribly English and people here think I sound American.
"I think it’s the phrasing and various words. You go into a restaurant and you don’t want people making an issue, so you say (puts on American accent), ‘I’ll have the tomato basil’."

Singer JOSH KELLEY was left red faced after taking a slice out of pals BLAKE SHELTON and MIRANDA LAMBERT’s wedding cake at their nuptials earlier this month (May11) - because guests weren’t supposed to help themselves.
Kelley and his actress wife Katherine Heigl were among the 550 friends and family who gathered at the Don Strange Ranch in Texas on 14 May (11) to celebrate the country couple’s marriage, and the star admits he accidentally committed a big wedding faux pas during the reception.
He explains, "It was awesome, it was really great. It was a gigantic cake and I made the mistake of actually taking a slice out of it. I didn’t realise that they had little cakes in little cups that we were supposed to eat!" Kelley reveals he became part of the entertainment too that night, showing off his rapping skills onstage.
He continues, "It was unreal. Me and my wife did a lot of dancing and I got up and sang a little bit… It was a dare. Someone asked me if I could sing Snoop Dogg or Slick Rick or whatever, but they didn’t realise that I knew all that stuff."

Singer TIM MCGRAW is countersuing his record label after officials accused him of breaching his contract with them.
In a complaint filed earlier this month (May11), Curb Records executives claimed the singer handed over master recordings for his latest album, Emotional Traffic, too closely to the completion of his 2009 release Southern Voice and, as a result, the songs were not "topical and new".
They accused him of using a "transparent tactic to attempt to fulfil his contractual recording commitment to Curb prematurely in breach of the recording agreement".
McGraw fired back in an angry statement, in which he accused label bosses of "holding the album hostage from country music fans", and now he is countersuing and seeking advance payment and recording-fund reimbursement, unspecified damages, and a jury trial.
The suit also asks that Emotional Traffic be deemed McGraw’s last album due to the label and for McGraw to be "free to begin recording for himself or any other party as of July 23, 2011".

Actress JENNIFER LAWRENCE refused to overdo her workout routine to slim down and shape up for her near-naked role in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS - because she wanted to maintain her curves and "look like a woman".
The Winter’s Bone star, 20, plays Mystique in the upcoming comic book movie and had to be almost completely nude, so she could be sprayed head to toe in blue body paint for the part.
Lawrence decided against embarking on a super-strict diet and exercise plan to prepare for the revealing role and only agreed to submit to a light training regimen and high-protein food plan, allowing her to simply sculpt her figure.
She tells Elle magazine, "I knew that if I was going to be naked in front of the world, I wanted to look like a woman and not a prepubescent 13-year-old boy. I’m so sick of people thinking that’s what we’re supposed to look like."

The latest sequel in the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN franchise has sailed to the top of the British box office chart with the biggest opening figures of the year (11) so far.
Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz’s turn in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has already broken records internationally, banking a staggering $346.4 million (£216.5 million) over the weekend (20-22May11) to score the world’s biggest debut ever.
And the fourth installment of the swashbuckling film series has struck gold in the U.K. too, grossing $18.56 million (£11.6 million) to enter the movie chart at number one.
However, it wasn’t enough to topple its prequel, At World’s End - the third Pirates outing earned $21.44 million (£13.4 million) when it opened in 2007.
Fast Five, released in Britain as Fast & Furious 5: Rio Heist, remained in second place, while action epic Thor dropped from first to third place.

KIRSTIE ALLEY’s stint on U.S. reality show DANCING WITH THE STARS has helped the actress shed the pounds - her waist now measures 38 inches (96.5 centimetres) less than when she made her dancefloor debut in March (11).
The former Cheers star, who has struggled with weight issues for years, admits she’s been shrinking in size as she prepares to battle for the TV title during the finale on Tuesday (24May11).
But even the 60 year old was surprised by how much her very first costume on the show had to be altered so she could wear it again for the season’s closing episode.
However, she’s refusing to reveal exactly how many pounds she’s lost on the dancing diet.
She says, "There will be some reveal of that at some point, but I really didn’t care. As long as I kept changing and changing and changing, I really didn’t care. It was like, keep whittling, whittling, whittling. And the other thing that’s really more significant to me - I mean, I love the whittling, I like being skinny - I’m really strong and really agile and it gave me a new life." She adds to People.com, "I wasn’t so hungry when I was dancing. That, coupled with insane amounts of dancing, I’m sure I lost it (weight) faster… I had the energy the whole way through it and that was sort of astonishing." Alley will go up against actress Chelsea Kane and American football star Hines Ward during Tuesday’s finale.
