Darren Criss apparently has a thing for older women.
While walking his first Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday, the Glee actor, 23, said he would be most starstruck by his "crush" Tina Fey.
"Talk about just hilarious, beautiful, smart, talented – just awesome," Criss said, praising the 30 Rock star. "If I met her, I would turn into a puddle."
Criss has even considered taking the initiative to get the married Fey, 40, to go out with him.
"I would immediately ask her on a date to go mini-golfing with me," Criss said. "I just want to get some of her pixie dust on me."
Later in the evening, Criss mustered up the confidence to approach his dream woman.
"I met Darren tonight, and he told me he's a fan," Fey said at the InStyle and Warner Bros. Golden Globe Awards afterparty. "He was really nice."
But as a committed wife, Fey has to let Criss down gently.
"I'm married, so I can't take him on a date," she said with a laugh. "But he can come on a double date with another girl and my husband and me. I love Glee."
Betty White fans have another reason to appreciate Facebook. Not only did it provide the platform to petition for the TV icon to host Saturday Night Live, it became a hilarious punch line in her opening monologue.
"When I first heard about the campaign to get me to host Saturday Night Live, I didn't know what Facebook was," White said. "And now that I do know what it is, I have to say it sounds like a huge waste of time."
The jokes continued – "When I was young we didn't have Facebook, we had phone book," she said, "but you wouldn't waste an afternoon with it" – but White's Facebook fans can rest assured their online effort wasn't a waste. In fact, the actress, who appeared in every skit, is getting rave reviews.
"All it took to reinvigorate a 35-year-old comedy show was the presence of an 88-year-old woman," writes Dave Itzoff of the New York Times. "The only real disappointment of the night was when the clock struck 1 a.m. and Ms. White and the cast had to step on stage to wave their goodbyes."
Whether singing her muffins' praises on NPR or donning a black ski mask for a hardcore version of The Golden Girls theme song, White shined on a night when SNL welcomed back many of its female heavy hitters, including Molly Shannon, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch and Ana Gasteyer.
"Her comic delivery is still formidable," says the Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan. "The show would be smart to extend an open invitation to White to return as host any time, but given how in demand she is, who knows if she'd be able to make it back?"
And even musical guest Jay-Z seemed in awe of White. After his second song, "Young Forever," he dedicated the performance to "the most incredible Betty White."

As if Tina Fey's spot-on impression of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wasn't enough to bring viewers back to the Thursday night "Saturday Night Live" specials, Will Ferrell returned to the show as President Bush to "endorse" John McCain and Palin's campaign.
Just like in real life, however, the faux McCain did all he could to distance himself from the unpopular president.
In Thursday, October 23rd special edition of SNL, Ferrell spoke about the election between McCain and Barack Obama -- both candidates, he said, that are "heavily patriotized" and "display much characterization."
He then gave his endorsement to McCain and Palin, something that they apparently didn't want. Ferrell said he was unaware that his approval ratings were low because he had several months ago declared the Oval Office a "bummer free zone."
Speaking to Fey again appearing as Palin, Ferrell informed her that her role as vice president was "the most important in the land" and that the "president can do nothing without checking with the vice president." Fey corrected him that he had it backward.
Eventually Darrell Hammond as McCain turned up to reluctantly receive the endorsement. The sketch between Ferrell and Fey was the meeting of the two of the most popular political impressions in the show's history. It might have been complete only if Chevy Chase stopped by as Gerald Ford, Dana Carvey appeared as H.W. Bush and Amy Poehler joined as Hillary Clinton. An alum to the NBC comedy show, Ferrell was the latest guest star to make an appearance on "SNL," which has seen its ratings soar this election season. Fey has become a virtual cast member again, thanks to the popularity of her Palin impression, while other surprise guests have included Chris Parnell, Bill Murray, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin and Queen Latifah.
Ferrell, a regular on "SNL" from 1995-2006, will in January begin a solo show on Broadway titled "You're Welcome America: A Final Night with George W. Bush.
So remember...a vote for John McCain is a vote for George Bush. Vote for a change...Vote for Obama/Biden!
Saturday, October 18th, we were treated to a double Palin (like we don't have enough with one airhead in this world) when Sarah "I wanna be VP" Palin (the Hockey mom from hell) appeared on Satury Night Live alongside with Tina Fey (who does a better Palin than Palin).
Well, tonight we are finally going to be treated to an uncensored, unrehearsed, unscripted debate between the two Vice Presidential candidates, Joe Biden & "What's Her Name?"!
I am looking forward to sitting through this 90-minute "comedy" as "What's Her Face?" will be asked to answer questions from the moderator without being "coached" by anyone else. This 90-minute show will likely be as entertaining as the following Saturday Night Live segment from this past Saturday.
I cannot wait to watch her explode in front of what will likely be one of the biggest TV nights in history. It will probably have the largest viewership in the history of televised debates. I just feel sorry for Joe Biden as he will have to sit through that torture. I am sure it will be an interesting night.
Come with me as I explore the emtertainment, music, travel and news world.
