Betty’s vertical good time

Ryan Reynolds says his co-star in “The Proposal” really knows how to deliver a ribald joke – and he’s talking about Betty White, not Sandra Bullock.

Reynolds says the 87-year-old White had the best exit line when shooting wrapped. White told the cast and crew it was the “most fun” she’d ever had making a movie, then added, “standing up.”

“The Proposal,” which topped the box office in its opening weekend, proved to Reynolds that he and longtime friend Bullock had on-screen chemistry.

Surrogate twins

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are the proud parents of twin girls delivered by a surrogate mother, a publicist said Tuesday, following a pregnancy that proceeded less than smoothly.

The girls were born Monday afternoon at an Ohio hospital, publicist Simon Halls said. Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed 5 pounds and 11 ounces, and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds.

A different view

“The View” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck says a claim that she plagiarized parts of her best-selling diet book is “without merit.”

Hasselbeck defended her book “The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide” on Wednesday.

Susan Hassett, a self-published author on Cape Cod, alleges in the lawsuit filed in Massachusetts that Hasselbeck lifted content from her book on celiac disease “word for word.”
