When StyleList learned that our favorite Golden Girl, Betty White, was hosting "Saturday Night Live" this weekend at the still-spry age of 88, we gathered 'round a cheesecake to excitedly ponder which headline-grabbing celebrities she might parody.

Lady Gaga
, Angelina Jolie, or Madonna, perhaps? And just what wigs and wardrobe might she use to get into character.

Then, like a St. Olaf story with a surprise twist, we were struck with an idea: What if our favorite stars played Betty?

With the help of modern technology, we put White wigs on some of today's most well-known hair icons -- from Jennifer Aniston to Justin Timberlake -- to see if they could pull off her signature style.

Do they wear White hair well? Check out the results below.














JENNIFER ANISTON
Forget the Rachel -- after seeing Aniston with this silvery do, women around the world will be begging for the Betty. And we have a feeling that with this cougar coif, Aniston won't be single for much longer!

RIHANNA
With her high Betty hair, the "Good Girl Gone Bad" singer will definitely make a glam-looking dame when she gets older. But for now, we prefer the sexy songstress in her edgy "Rated R" razor cuts.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
He's rocked an Afro, cornrows, and a shaved head, but we're not quite sure JT is bringing sexy back with the Betty. However, the look is perfect if he lands a role playing President Andrew Jackson -- or Barbara Bush with an estrogen problem.

VICTORIA BECKHAM
Forget Posh -- Beckham looks positively regal with her Betty! In this fluffy style, the Brit looks like she was born to rule Buckingham Palace.

But why should famous people have all the fun?

Yours truly, Mark Marino, goes "Maude." Photo: Daily Makeover

I decided to give myself the Betty using the nifty new tool from our friends over at Daily Makeover.

Turns out I ended up looking uncannily like White's late co-star Beatrice Arthur.

Needless to say, I'll be keeping my hair nice and short and will probably stock up on a few bottles of Just for Men as I grow older.

While the Betty look may not necessarily suit me, you may have better luck! Just head on over to Daily Makeover, upload a photo of yourself, and you're golden!

And if you think you know everything about this TV icon, guess again. Visit BettyConfidential to read 10 Things You Should Know About Betty White.

I'm a flight attendant, and I had Betty on my flight last week. She's gorgeous! Absolutely STUNNING! Hard to believe she's a day over 60. Anyway, she said that she was terrified about appearing on SNL this week and would we all cross our fingers for her and wish her luck. I told her We'd all send good thoughts her way, and that she'd be fabulous. So please, all you Betty White fans, send Betty your best wishes......

I HOPE THAT WHOEVER MARK MARINO IS THAT HE ISN'T MAKING FUN OF BETTY WHITE. IN THE FIRST PLACE, NONE OF THE PEOPLE IN THE PHOTOS COME ANYWHERE NEAR THE GREAT BETTY WHITE NOR WILL THEY EVER. SHE'S A WOMAN OF GRACE, CLASS, SENSITIVITY , LOVE, CARING & ONE HELL OF A SENSE OF HUMOR! MAY BETTY WHITE BE BLESSED WITH MANY MORE YEARS OF LIFE. "WE" WILL BE THE BETTER FOR IT!

R, you are right on the mark. Betty White is a one-of-a-kind and a wonder in the day and age of flash in the pan celebrities. Most of the celebrities I saw in those photographs actually looked better with the "Betty White" hairdo. I say 'most' because Justin Timberlake just looked ridiculous -- why on Earth did the writer of that article ever pick him anyway? I would much rather have seen a bald Bruce Willis picture next to one with Betty White's wig on his head. Now that would have been funny!

Gotta agree with all the pro-Betty comments. While these "celebs" have had their 15 minutes (or wayyy more) of fame and overexposure. Sorry Rhianna and Jen- your "talent" (if any) and class (?) cannot compare to this great lady. Ms. White has been a captivating prescense in the industry for over 50 years. And she's managed to do so while keeping her private life private, keeping her clothes ON and keeping out of the tabloids. I hope the gig goes well for her tonite on SNL, and for the 1st time in 10 years, I will actually watch the show. Betty, you rock!

Jennifer Anuston has a huge man face, huge chin. huge ears, huge nose, and tiny eyes, and she is wacked. She must be good at rolling joints because I don't see what else Brad saw in her. I guess back then when he had his turn with her, she hadn't gotten around as much as now. Every man in Hollywood has had his 10 minutes in the sack with her. All she has going (barely now) is that she was once Mrs. Pitt. Had her publicist not hooked her up with him, she would be long forgotten.

Since when is the article about Jennifer Aniston's private life? Feel better that you turned everything around so you could get on your little soap box? Grandma always said, "If you can't say something nice about someone, keep your tongue inside your teeth.".

I was fortunate to meet Betty White years ago. At her home. I was working as a delivery man for a store on Rodeo Drive and her and her husband Alan had received a gift that I delivered.
I met many celebrities in this job. The two that stand out to me as quality, wonderful people are Betty White and Ernest Borgnine.
Both are good people. Even in the short time I spent with each.
Betty White is as gracious, bright, endearing, talented, and wonderful as a person comes. I felt honored to have met her, and spent some time with her. She made a complete stranger feel as if I'd known her for many years, and we chatted quite a while, and she even asked if I'd stick around a few minutes longer so I could meet her beloved husband Alan, who had suffered a severe stroke months earlier and was out for his daily walk. And I waited. And I met her husband, and they are one of the best memories of my years in California.
And Ernest Borgnine is a one-of-a-kind gem of a person as well, just as Betty is.
It isn't about fame, or flash, or any of that shallow stuff. It's all about character, heart, and soul. And the ones with character, heart, and soul are the ones that last, that make a special impression, and transcend time.
I love ya' Betty! Thanks for the memories...

How in the world did a picture of Betty White's hair cause so much BASHING of people that did nothing to deserve it??? Jennifer and Rhiana and Victoria have done nothing to deserve the bashing on their looks and as far as Betty staying out of the tabloids just proves that the tabloids think they are only picking the hot, young and beautiful people for their rag mags but Betty White would sell millions of copies with her class and never ending loving personality. She is wonderful! She is classy!! But these other ladies are probably very nice ladies so don't bash them and let a story about how nice Betty is turn into such a classless story. ALL women are beautiful in some way and we should support each other!

I have been a Betty for years. I loved her on Password, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls and that she is such an animal lover. What you see with Betty is what you get. She seems like she is a wonderful person in real life. I am so glad that the younger generation is able to enjoy her humor all over again. You go girl!

How can you even compare Betty to these temporary wanna-be Hollywood icons? Even with her hair, non of them even reach her low heels. She has been making us laugh for over half a century, and those morons you put up there only make us laugh when they get dumped over and over and never learn to save face, or save their private parts for someone significant in their lives (hello jen).

This is the most ridiculous article I have ever read. First of all Betty White is Betty White no one can replace her. She has a quick wit, class and for her age looks terrific. She can go from being Sue Ann Nevens on the Mary Tyler Moore show being the sarcastice, outspoken character to the nieve character on Golden Girls. But, why compare other celebrities to her or put them in gray hair to show they could never be Betty White. First of all the are not 88 years old so how can one tell. Betty herself may not have looked that good when she was their ages in a gray wig protraying an 88 yr old. Did you see pictures of her when she was real young, fantastic. How do writers come up with this stuff. Why couldn't they have just written a nice article on this classy lady who is lucky enough to have her health so she can be on SNL, still has her witt and still be able to be a very active person. This article once again just let immature people be able to bash actors and actresses on this comment board. And probably by the time these actors are 88 yrs old someone will come up with a solution to gray hair the rich will never have to see their locks turn gray. But, back off with the comments if you can't say anything nice just don't say it.

Oh, this is frickin' HILARIOUS! It's a wig! It's a wig! Anyway, Jennifer, you're just not ready for white or silvery hair. For-GET IT! Sure, your time will come, just not yet.
