Betty White Premieres ‘I’m Still Hot’ Music Video for Atlanta’s Lifeline Program
Betty White’s music video featuring U.K.’s Luciana premiered last night at the Abbey in West Hollywood. The Lifeline Program, a life settlement company based in Atlanta, hired White and produced the video to get the word out about life insurance to seniors…
‘We originally started with the idea of a video to reach seniors through social media, but when we heard the song, the project snowballed and we decided to do the remix and have the proceeds benefit one of Betty White’s favorite charities, The Los Angeles Zoo,’ says Stephen Terrell, co-founder of The Lifeline Program.
‘The project brings new exposure to Luciana, supports one of Betty’s favorite charities and creates awareness for life settlements.’

Betty White on Atlanta’s Lifeline Program [INTERVIEW]
![betty white Betty White on Atlantas Lifeline Program [INTERVIEW]](http://atlantaboy.com/wp-content/uploads/betty-white.jpg "Betty White Lifeline Program")
Betty White has worked with the Atlanta-based Lifeline Program for several years. It’s mission is simple: to assist terminally ill patients with their life insurance. On October 11th, the Lifeline Program will premiere a new video starring Betty and UK-sensation Luciana.
We sat down with Betty White to ask her a few questions…
What was it like working with Luciana and all those hunky men on set?
Seeing all those hunky men and Luciana, I knew there wouldn’t be a line at the craft services table. They were all so fit. One of the lines in the song is about cheesecake and we had plenty of it on set, so I fed cheesecake to my beefcake!
Why do you think candidates should choose to use the Lifeline Program?
The boys at Lifeline really care about people and helping them pay for retirement. I’m lucky, because I don’t really worry about retirement. As long as I keep getting a chance to work, I’m going to show up on the set. I might show up even if they don’t ask me. Even though a life settlement helps people financially, I know that founder Steve Terrell and the Lifeline Program family really care about helping people who need money for retirement.
What advice would you give Luciana on having longevity in the entertainment industry?
I would tell her to always be professional: learn your lines, be on time and respect the business. But I would also say that she should always continue to have fun, which she does. And for goodness sake, eat something!
You’re always so busy – how do you keep your energy up?
Well, I’m certainly not built like those boys in the video or as skinny as Luciana, but I’ve always tried to stay fit, get my rest and eat right. Everything is ok in moderation and I’ve also been blessed with good genes.
Why do you think the LGBT community embraces and loves you so much?
Throughout my career, I’ve always portrayed characters that were humorous, but also weren’t afraid to speak their minds, especially when it came to racy or controversial topics. I think this struck a chord with the LGBT community. We both also share a very strong love for animals. When you combine the two, it’s a very strong match.
- Betty White & Luciana’s ‘I’m So Hot’ video premieres October 11th. The song is available for purchase on iTunes; a portion of the net proceeds benefit the Los Angeles Zoo.

Rodiney Santiago, ‘The A-List: New York‘ star (and former Atlanta resident – see our Rodiney Santiago Interview), is about to release his new 2012 calendar…
Rodiney’s 2011 calendar was so popular, he decided to do it again, this time collaborating with his ‘A-List’ co-star, celebrity photographerMike Ruiz.
(Ruiz recently shot a photo of Betty White and Luciana for Atlanta’s Lifeline Program.)
Last year, Rodiney held his 2011 calendar release party at Mixx.
Let’s hope he does another one this year!
Atlanta’s Lifeline Program Nabs Betty White for Music Video Ad Starring Luciana
The Lifeline Program, an Atlanta life insurance company has nabbed Betty White for a new music video ad campaign featuring U.K. pop star Luciana…
Surrounded by bodybuilders, a boa constrictor and plenty of cheese cake temptation, the comedic icon proves she’s still got the goods joining the emerging British artist in the company-sponsored remix of Luciana’s ‘I’m Still Hot.’
White tells us, ““It’s a switch for me but it’s fun and they gave me these nice young men to work with that are built like little brick houses!”
White finished filming the video at The Los Angeles Zoo last month. The final version will be available soon for purchase on iTunes, and a large portion of the proceeds will benefit the Los Angeles Zoo.
