Betty White is having another 90th birthday TV celebration. The "Hot in Cleveland" and "Golden Girls" star is getting another birthday party on NBC, according to TV Guide.
NBC will air another birthday special honoring the star with appearances from celebrities who missed out on last year's extravaganza. A "more tongue-in-cheek approach" can be expected, according to TV Guide. Some of last year's guests included Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Burnett, Jennifer Love Hewitt and taped messages from President Barack Obama and Tina Fey. A request for comment from NBC was not immediately returned.
The January 2012 special, "Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America's Golden Girl," was a ratings success for NBC. The televised birthday party had 13.9 million viewers and a 2.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
In addition to her televised birthday special, 2012 saw White get a wax figure, a life-sized edible cake and a baby orangutan named after her "Hot In Cleveland" character.

"Modern Family" took home its third straight Best Comedy award. Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" won its 10th consecutive Emmy, which resulted in Jon Stewart being censored during his acceptance speech for saying the F-word. Julianne Moore (pictured) won for Best Actress in a Mini-Series for her portrayal of Sarah Palin in HBO's "Game Change." Moore stated: "Wow, I feel so validated because Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs down." And Jon Cryer won Best Actor for "Two and a Half Men," something he admitted was not possible with Charlie Sheen around.

At the age of 90, Betty White picked up her 20th Emmy nomination for hosting "Betty White's Off Their Rockers." Yep, 20 for her primetime and daytime work and she's still grateful -- and surprised -- by the love.
"I'm 90 years old, I've been around forever," White said during a recent phone interview with The Huffington Post. "People have got to be up to here with me and to still get a nomination was just incredible."
Her 20th nomination was for Outstanding Host For A Reality Or Reality-Competition Program for NBC's hidden camera prank show, "Betty White's Off Their Rockers." The Emmy love didn't stop there: Her NBC birthday special, "Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute To America's Golden Girl," also received two nominations.
"I'm so thrilled! It sure keeps life interesting," she said.
Since her TV career began in the '40s, White has been a mainstay in the medium.
