Organizers for George Clooney's all-star 'Hope for Haiti Now' telethon say the event raised $57 million -- and counting."The public has set a new standard of giving for a relief telethon with 'Hope for Haiti Now,' and the donations continue to come in," Lisa Paulsen, president and CEO of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, said in a statement released Saturday evening. The group is helping to oversee the funds gathered from the event.The two-hour telethon aired Friday night on the major networks and dozens of other channels, including MTV, Bravo, and PBS, and was also streamed live online. Stars like Justin Timberlake (pictured), Beyonce, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and more used their presence to encourage donations for Haiti, following a Jan. 12 earthquake that killed an estimated 200,000 people.

George Clooney Flirts With the Amazing Betty White

As if you weren't already aware, Betty White is awesome. While accepting the Lifetime Achievement Award at the SAGs on Saturday, the 88-year-old Hollywood legend spoke of her wildly impressive career in showbiz and relished in all the people she's met over the years. In doing so, she introduced a little blue comedy to the mix. "I actually know many of you and I've worked with quite a few," she recalled. "Maybe had a couple. And you know who you are."The hilarious quip was progressed by one of her hundreds of past cast-mates, George Clooney, who revealed a "fling" with the icon. "In 1987, I did an episode of 'The Golden Girls' and I would like to thank Betty White for her discretion," adding: "a friend of mine told me she was a bobcat in the sack."Missed Betty's Speech?

Drew Barrymore Forgets to, Um, Thank Justin Long Again at SAGs

Before any more award shows, Drew Barrymore should, um, polish up one of those, um, acceptance speeches before, uh, she gets there.The bubbly actress stammered and stuttered her way through her thank yous after snagging a SAG for her stunning performance in the TV movie 'Grey Gardens' on Saturday night. It was her second flubbed speech in a week, coming on the tails of her self-admitted screwiness at the Golden Globes. At that awards show, she forgot to thank her boyfriend Justin Long. Well, she didn't learn her lesson. Between the "ums" and "okays" at the SAGs, she forgot to thank Mac Guy ... again.

Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock's chances for Academy Award gold were advanced with their trophies at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday night. And with its win for best ensemble performance, 'Inglourious Basterds' is now a frontrunner -- along with 'Avatar' of course -- to win big at the Academy Awards.For Bridges of 'Crazy Heart,' Bullock of 'The Blind Side,' there's reason to suspect the Oscar ceremony will be a happy rerun of the SAG Awards and last Sunday's Golden Globes.

Comedian Andy Dick has been arrested on two felony counts of sexual abuse, according to a report on TMZ. Dick was taken into custody this morning in West Virginia; he is being held at the Western Regional Jail and is due to be arraigned sometime today.Dick is currently on probation over an earlier incident where he was arrested for sexual assault. He allegedly pulled down a teenager's top outside of a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in CA, and a search of the apparently intoxicated entertainer revealed drugs on his person. He accepted a plea to a lesser charge of battery in 2008.
