BETTY WHITE
The Betty White juggernaut just keeps on rolling.
G.P. Putnam's Sons announced Wednesday that the 88-year-old actress has signed a two-book deal, with the first one — "Listen Up!" — due out next spring in the US.
The book is said to focus on her 60-plus-year Hollywood career, — including stints on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Golden Girls" and now "Hot in Cleveland," as well as her highly rated "Saturday Night Live" appearance in May — plus her reflections on aging, love and sex.
The second book, scheduled for 2012, is to be called "The Zoo and I: Betty and Her Friends" and will feature stories and photos of zoo animals. White is a longtime Los Angeles Zoo board member.
"Much as I love what I do for a living in show business, I love writing even more — so I am thrilled to be working on not only one new book but two of them," she said.
The publishing house tweeted Wednesday: "Have you heard the news?! We just signed actress Betty White for two books!!! I LOVE her!"
White previously wrote "Betty White in Person" (1987) and "Here We Go Again: My Life in Television" (1995), as well as a couple pet-related books.
