“STOP ROCKING THE BOAT!” Sitcom veteran BETTY WHITE warned “Hot in Cleveland” co-stars WENDIE MALICK and VALERIE BERTINELLI to put a lid on incessant bitching that the show’s writers keep giving JANE LEEVES the funniest lines.
Said a source: “Wendie and Valerie complained bitterly to producers, saying they could understand if Betty gets better lines, but why Jane? They feel the writers should divvy up the one-liners and give everyone a fair shot at the laughs.”
But execs cut off their whining and told them: “Be happy you’re even on a show!”
Betty’s warning the girls to sit tight because the show’s still new and – even though the network’s ordered 20 new episodes – they could still be canceled tomorrow!
