Marine Asks Betty White To Marine Corps Ball: Sgt. Ray Lewis Invites Actress (VIDEO)

Forget the Oscars or dinner at Spago, the Marine Corps Ball is quickly becoming the hottest event in Hollywood.

Following Mila Kunis' invitation to the traditional November event by Sgt. Scott Moore -- she accepted days later -- and her "Friends With Benefits" co-star Justin Timberlake's subsequent invite from Corporal Kelsey De Santis, another Marine has turned to YouTube to ask a celebrity crush to event.

Betty White, will you go to the ball with Sgt. Ray Lewis?

The Marine, who has served in both Afghanistan and Iraq, posted a video to YouTube on Friday appealing to the 90-year old Emmy nominee to be his date, noting that he'll be performing as a rapper and promising her a good time. He also let tried wooing White with some sweet talk.

"She's funny, she's sweet, she's mature, she's the all around perfect woman," Lewis gushes in the video.

The first time was cute, the second one (the girl asking Justin) was repetitive, now its just getting to be a predictable annoyance. You joined the marines like thousands of others. It doesn't make you special or a hero. Just do your job and stop going for the publicity....its transparent.

It does make each and every one of them special and a hero. Any celebrity, or anyone else for that matter, should feel honored to attend if asked.

I take it you are not an American?

Would she date a black guy? She's old enough to remember when it was an absolute NO.

Ya sure? I thought they were getting married.

Not offense to the pretty young hotties, you're having your moment, as I had mine. But in this case, none of us can hold a candle to Betty.

This guy obviously wants a once in a lifetime chance to meet a remarkable woman. We all get older and aren't always considered the hottest choice on the menu, but this just goes to show that we still can make a special night for any guy. Especially, if we have, like her, a great sense of humor, a sparkling personality and a joie de vive at 90 that would put most of us to shame. And why not? I hope I have everything she does when I'm 90.

This is just perfect. He is bright, handsome intelligent and will break the world record for style. I sincerely hope she accepts. I know I would.
