Between her role in TV Land's comedy series Hot in Cleveland, and her current NBC prank series Betty White's Off Their Rockers, Betty White has been keeping busy these days. But apparently, she still has time to drop in on other projects. She lent her voice to the animated film The Lorax, and in less kid-friendly news, she's reportedly set to appear in an episode of Lifetime's new drama series The Client List.

People reports that White is set to make a guest appearance on The Client List, playing "Ruth Gibbons, the wife of one of Riley's clients who has some advice to offer about making a marriage last."

Starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, the drama has Hewitt playing a wife and mother who, after her husband leaves her, takes a job working at a massage parlor that offers some of its wealthy clientele a little something "extra" in the rubbing department. I'll admit, I'm among the many who've already gotten on board with this soapy drama series, which airs Sundays at 10:00 p.m. on Lifetime. While I can't say I would've thought to wish-list a Betty White appearance on the drama, that's sort of the beauty of Betty White. You never really know where she might pop up. Apparently, The Client List has made her list.

On the subject of the finale, People also notes that Hewitt's character Riley will be left in charge of the spa when her boss (presumably Loretta Devine's Georgia) goes on vacation. Could this be the opportunity Riley has to show she's got what it takes to manage the spa? Or are things bound to go majorly wrong? We'll find out when the series wraps up its first season on June 10.
