The Marines are quickly snatching up our most prized famous people for their own, and damn if they don’t deserve them. Betty White’s Marine Ball invite is just the most recent, and best, video request from a service member asking a celebrity to do them the honor of eating cocktail shrimp while dancing in painful shoes. We mean, come on. They are famous. They were probably going to be doing that anyway.
After Mila Kunis agreed to attend the November Marine Ball with Sgt. Scott Moore, and Corporal Kelis De Santis asked Justin Timberlake to pick out a suit, Marine Sargent Ray Lewis asked the Hot In Cleveland star if she would attend as his date. “She’s funny, she’s sweet, she’s mature. She’s the all-around perfect woman,” Lewis says in the video. “I really think we’d have a good time.” Ugh, why are the good ones always overseas or into octogenarians or extremely out-of-breath for not commonsensical reason? No word on whether White will agree to put on her formal pantsuit for the event, but we’re betting she does. Did you see that man’s single rose? Pure class. What civilian can compete with that kind of commitment to a bit?
