In the never-ending saga of Marines inviting celebrities to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball, a new one has emerged: Sgt. Ray Lewis has asked former Golden Girl Betty White, 89, to attend with him.

Entertainment suggests the reports of her backing out aren’t…
Some things are abundantly predictable. One of them is that when somebody goes out on a limb and finds success, others will surely duplicate the effort. So it is for Sgt. Scott Moore, the Marine who has become famous for successfully inviting actress Mila Kunis to his Marine Corps Birthday Ball with 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, through a YouTube video that went viral.
