Betty White and Alex Pettyfer shared a
quick kiss at Saturday's 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in
Los Angeles.
The ceremony was hosted by Drew
Barrymore, who told the crowd that “we must hand over our world to
our children with equality for all.”
Jennifer Lawrence and Harvey Weinstein
presented President Bill Clinton with GLAAD's inaugural Advocate for
Change Award.

Actor-model Pettyfer (Stormbreaker,
I Am Number Four) and gay icon White shared the podium for a few
words before auctioning off kisses.
“I just want to say that, all the
judgmental people out there. … If two people in love want to get
married, let them get married. Just mind your own business and don't
worry about it. If everybody would mind his own business, or her own
business, as the case may be, we'd be a lot better off,” White
said.
Pettyfer reached in close and asked,
“Can I kiss you?”
“Well, take a number. I don't know
how many people in this room would like to kiss Betty White,” she
responded as Pettyfer planted a kiss on her cheek.
White's The Mary Tyler Moore Show
co-star Cloris Leachman paid $8,000 to kiss White. The pair
exchanged smooches on the cheek. But when Leachman jokingly tried to
slip in her tongue, White told her she was being “ridiculous.”
