Betty White voted America's 'most trusted' celebrity

Betty White has been voted America's favorite and most trusted celebrity, a new poll indicates.

White, the former "Golden Girls" funnywoman who is currently starring in TV Land's "Hot in Cleveland," beat out Paris Hilton and Charlie Sheen as the person "whose endorsement of a company would be most likely to drive business," according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll of 2,012 Americans.

And she didn't have to go to the Marine Corps birthday ball to do it.

The 89-year-old animal lover won an Emmy last year for her "Saturday Night Live" hosting gig, has appeared on "Community" and in Snickers commercials and was named Associated Press entertainer of the year last December. Perhaps that trustworthy face of hers could help do some damage this fall on her "Punk'd"-style prank show "Betty White's Off Their Rockers"?

The other most favorable celebrities behind White are Denzel Washington, Sandra Bullock, Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman (who tied for seventh place with Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge), Will Smith and Johnny Depp.

Topping the not-so-hot list are: Paris Hilton, Charlie Sheen, Britney Spears (who ties for third with Kanye West), Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tiger Woods, Kim Kardashian, Mel Gibson, Donald Trump and LeBron James.

'Cowboys & Aliens' brings its premiere to the fans at Comic-Con

Last year, Jon Favreau had to pull out the shackles to drag newbie Harrison Ford to Comic-Con International to present a sneak peek at "Cowboys & Aliens," a little movie they were doing with Daniel Craig.

This summer, no hardware was apparent (Ford even dragged along a date, wife Calista Flockhart) as  "Cowboys & Aliens" saw its world premiere Saturday in conjunction with the 2011 incarnation of the fan fest.

It was the first world premiere to be held in the event's 42 years — and there was a reason for that.

"That's where it all started, and I want to give back," Favreau told Hero Complex in June, referring to Comic-Con and the fans there. "They should have the opportunity to see it first."

Craig, Ford and Favreau were joined at the San Diego Civic Theatre by costars including Olivia Wilde, Ana de la Reguera, Sam Rockwell, Walton Goggins, Paul Dano, Abigail Spencer, Buck Taylor, Clancy Brown, Adam Beach and Noah Ringer, plus Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg and Brian Grazer, to name a few producer types.

Also spotted: Andy Serkis of "The Lord of the Rings" movies and Gillian Jacobs of "Community."

"These are the people we make movies for," Ford told Access Hollywood, "and coming here, to them, acknowledges their importance to us."

"Cowboys & Aliens" opens Friday. Click the pics for more photos from the premiere.

'Morning Glory' premiere: Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton and more

 

What's the story from the New York premiere of the new romantic comedy "Morning Glory"?

Well, the film's lead, Rachel McAdams,showed off her curves in a form-fitted gunmetal rouched Lanvin number while costar Diane Keaton-- known for her unique fashion stylings -- managed to be sexy and warm in a black leather mini dress over a black turtleneck. Actors Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum coordinated with their leading ladies in grays and blacks while Patrick Wilson, who plays McAdams' love interest,  stepped out in a blue Reiss suit. Perhaps he didn't get the memo?

"Morning Glory," which opens in theaters Wednesday, is about unemployed yet ambitious TV producer Becky Fuller (McAdams), who takes on the daunting task of breathing fresh life into a poorly rated morning news talk show called "Daybreak" -- which wouldn't be so hard if her hosts, Keaton and Ford, would stop their bickering. Here's a photo gallery of more stars at the "Morning Glory" premiere.

Harrison Ford, John Stamos honored by Operation Smile in Beverly Hills

The Ministry loves a good hero, and on the life-imitating-art-imitating-life front, Harrison Ford is proving to be quite a tasty treat.

Indiana Jones' alter ego is an experienced pilot, and on Friday evening he was honored for commanding a February airlift of medical volunteers and supplies into Hinche, Haiti, at the request of Operation Smile, which responded to the devastating earthquake by expanding its mission beyond providing corrective cleft-palate surgery to needy children around the world.

Alas, Ford was too busy imitating life -- he was on set -- to pick up his award for imitating art, so wife Calista Flockhart did the honors at Operation Smile's ninth annual gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Flockhart's last-minute substitution seemed karmic, because the "Brothers & Sisters" star was to have been honored herself in 2001 until 9/11 intervened.

"I am very proud to be here to accept this beautiful award for my husband, Harrison Ford," she told the crowd, adding that he couldn't be there because "a schedule is at best a work of fiction. But what really matters is he was there in Haiti when it mattered."

Sing it, sister.

The honorees also included "ER's" John Stamos, who's a big supporter of children's charities like the Starlight Foundation and Project Cuddle, for which he serves as national spokesman. He's also developing a Lifetime project based on the rescue organization for abandoned babies and guest-starring on "Glee," which sent Kevin McHale (Artie) and Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina) to provide the evening's entertainment.

"He's quite a good cuddler," "Full House" producer Garry Marshall assured the crowd in presenting the award to the hunky Stamos.

Good to know. Seriously.
