Everything touched by Betty White turns to gold, including last night’s so-so premiere of the network’s first original sitcom, Hot in Cleveland . In a statement released this morning, TV Land congratulated itself on the episode’s “scorching” rating of 1.9 among adults 25-54. Nearly 5 million viewers tuned in, making it the highest-rated and most-watched telecast in TV Land history. Now if only Betty White could do something about those vuvuzelas…

Vatican Honors Blues Brothers

Thirty years after Jake and Elwood Blues went on their mission from God, the Vatican has issued an endorsement of The Blues Brothers as “recommended viewing for Catholics everywhere.” The brothers’ mission to raise money for the orphanage where they were raised apparently took on a little more weight than the wrist-slapping “penguin” nun in the final judgment, but there you have it.

Oprah Winfrey is the Best Boss Ever

Oprah Winfrey just handed out cute bonuses to the staffers at her magazine, regardless of how long they’d worked for her: an Apple iPad, a leather iPod case embossed with the employee’s initials, and a check for $10,000. Pretty amazing. Unfortunately, now the O staff is obligated to say the “OWN” network doesn’t sound creepy. [ Gawker ]

Cabin in the Woods to Suffer 2nd Delay?

Will we ever get to see the Joss Whedon-produced, Drew Goddard-directed horror flick The Cabin in the Woods ? A while back, it was bumped all the way to January to undergo a 3D post-conversion, and now it may be lost in the MGM mess and delayed yet again. At this rate, star Chris Hemsworth will probably be seen in Thor before we ever get a taste of this tiny sleeper. Hell, Whedon may have directed him in The Avengers by then. [ THR via The Playlist ]
