Betty White's unforgettable explicit first words to David Boreanaz on the 'Bones' set
Betty White always knew the importance of comedic timing, whether on screen or in conversation. David Boreanaz, who worked with White on a few episodes of "Bones" in 2015, recently reflected on his first interaction with the late "Golden Girls" actress. While chatting with cast members during the "Bones" 20th Anniversary Retrospective at the Televerse Festival in Los Angeles, Boreanaz agreed to actor T. J. Thyne's comment that White was "a little troublemaker" on set. "She showed up in the diner. They drive her in and put her – Ms. White – [they] usher her in," Boreanaz recalled during a panel discussion, according to People magazine. "And she says hello to everybody. And Emily [Deschanel] and I are waiting for her. And she's like, 'Good to see you. Oh, good to see you. You're so nice. You're so pretty.' She goes up to Emily – 'Oh, you're so pretty.'" "She looks at me, she goes, 'Holy s---, I want to f--- you. I want to f--- you!' I just started laughing," Boreanaz said. Deschanel clarified that she didn't exactly remember the exchange. "I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm saying I didn't hear that, but that's amazing," she said, before co-star Tamara Taylor called White a "legendary potty mouth." While White was known for her "Golden Girls" role and starring on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," she regularly made movie cameos and guest appearances on television shows, including "30 Rock," "Boston Legal," and "The Bold and the Beautiful." White died Dec. 31, 2021, at the age of 99, her friend and agent Jeff Witjas confirmed at the time. "Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever," Witjas said in a statement to People magazine. "I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don't think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again." In 2018, White spoke to Parade magazine, revealing that the secret to her long and happy life was, in part, her consumption of foods she enjoyed, such as vodka and hot dogs – "probably in that order" – rather than restricting her diet. "Enjoy life," she told Parade. "Accentuate the positive, not the negative. It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, 'Hey, that was great!' It's not hard to find great stuff if you look."

The last dance? Organizers of North America's largest powwow say 2026 will be the event's final year
Gathering of Nations ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — For decades, tens of thousands of people have descended upon Albuquerque for what is billed as North America's largest powwow, a celebration showcasing Indigenous dancers, musicians and artisans from around the world. Organizers announced Saturday that 2026 will be the last time the cultural event is held, saying via email and social media that it will end after 43 years without providing details on the decision. 'There comes a time,' Gathering of Nations Ltd. said in a statement. The official poster for the 2026 event features the words 'The Last Dance.' Organizers did not immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment. The New Mexico fairgrounds have hosted the powwow since 2017, but it's unclear whether the venue would be available for future events given that the state is considering redeveloping the site. There also has been criticism over the years by some Native Americans who said Gathering of Nations organizers were capitalizing on Indigenous culture. Organizers dismissed those claims, saying the money raised goes toward the expenses of putting on the event. While offering spectators a glimpse into Indigenous cultures, large powwows like the one in Albuquerque have become more commercialized events with prize money for dancing and drumming competitions. For some Native American leaders, it can be a struggle to keep traditional cultural practices and commercial powwows from being lumped into the same category. There have been efforts to focus on promoting smaller powwows that are held in tribal communities. At Gathering of Nations, the signature event is the grand entry, in which a colorful procession of dancers spirals into the center of an arena. Participants wear elaborate regalia — some with jingling bells and others with feathers — and dance to rhythmic drumming. The event also features the crowning of Miss Indian World, as well as horse parades in which riders are judged on the craftsmanship of their intricately beaded adornments or feathered headdresses and how well they work with their steeds.
