Betty White, 99, and secret BFF Jennifer Love Hewitt once ‘got super drunk’ on vodka and nearly ‘fell into a bush’

JENNIFER Love Hewitt revealed she and Betty White, 99, once got so drunk that the Golden Girls star almost fell into a bush.

The 9-1-1 actress, 41, has been close friends with Betty since the two starred in the 2011 Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, The Lost Valentine, together.

While appearing as a virtual guest on The Drew Barrymore Show on Thursday, Jennifer played a game of Fun Facts, where opened up all about various tidbits about her life.

During the segment, host Drew Barrymore asked the Ghost Whisperer alum about the fun fact that she and Betty are good friends.

Jennifer confirmed, saying, “Yes, national treasure Betty White,” before revealing that “pizza and vodka are her favotites, and she also loves hot dogs.”

The two often have drinking and junk food nights together, and the mother of two shared that one night got exceptionally crazy.

“One of the only times that I’ve been super drunk was with Betty in public,” the actress revealed.

She added that during the drunken outing, Betty “veered off into a bush and I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to kill the national treasure, Betty White.’”

Their fun never ended with just vodka and pizza, though, as Betty apparently “likes to end her nights with [friends] by eating gummy bears.”

Of her relationship with the beloved star, Jennifer added that she will often cheat at scrabble, but she’ll just let it happen and let her win because she’s an icon.

“She’s everything you want her to be and more,” the Can’t Hardly Wait actress said. “She’s the best and I just love her to pieces.”

Jennifer’s admission about how much Betty loves celebrating life and how much she loves hot dogs comes after the comedian revealed she actually had them on her menu for her 99th birthday last month.

Betty joked to TMZ: “I can stay up as long as I want.”

She then added that her Birthday menu would be exciting too and would include her favorites, hot dogs and french fries, as a treat.

She said she’d also enjoy feeding the ducks on her special day.

Betty recently admitted she’s been “blessed with good health” and credited her good “sense of humor” as one of the things that keeps her going.


Fans became overwhelmingly concerned for the mature actress last March when the coronavirus pandemic kicked into high gear in the United States.

Betty began trending on social media, with fans wondering how she was doing.

Her rep quickly shared that she was “doing fine,” and now almost a year later, she celebrated her milestone birthday of 99 on January 17.
