Also, this week the wonderful and super super super talented Betty White is getting a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild! This is such great news. Betty has always kept it real and it's nice to see SAG keep it real by honoring her work. Cheers to Betty!

And, Prince wrote a fight song for the Minnesota Vikings! Prince said, "I saw the future" and then wrote this:


all of the odds r in r favor 
no prediction 2 bold 
we r the truth if the truth can b told 
long reign the purple and gold

the eyes say ready 4 battle
no need 4 sword in hand
we r all amped up like a rock n roll band
ready 2 celebrate every score
ready 2 fight the elegant war
ready 2 hear the crowd roar
