My Birds Eye View of the DeVito Debacle
Ohmigodohmigod.
I was actually THERE IN THE AUDIENCE when Danny Devito appeared sloshed on "The View” on Wednesday and I totally missed what was probably rhe biggest scoop of my journalistic career.
Here’s all I wrote about Danny Devito in my Thursday post: 1) He was plugging his new Xmas flick, 2) he was funny, and 3) put his funny personality together with the smarts and hunky good looks of John Stossel and Thomas Gibson, respectively, the other two "View" guests that day, and you’d have The Perfect Man.
Shoot me now. Who knew that Danny was drunk? I didn’t give him a Breathalyzer. The guy’s a goofy guy…I thought he was just being himself (i.e. goofy). (To my credit, my friend didn’t have a clue either.)
So what’s with all these stars behaving badly? To add insult to injury, the same day Devito did his thing on their set, “The View” hosts actually chatted about the recent Michael Richards scandal and Rosie recalled having Farah Fawcett on her former daytime talk show the same day Fawcett went on to make her infamous wacked out “Letterman” appearance. Rosie even mentioned thinking to herself that Fawcett had make-up on her nose during her "Rosie" appearance (hint: it was a powder but definitely not make-up).
So yes, I missed the DeVito thing. Oops. My bad.

Good one, Laur, but don't feel too badly, some members of the home audience were stumped as well, and at least you got the giveaways. I occasionally watch the View when exercising, and I happened to put it on that day, just when Danny D. was doing his thing. I thought it was odd that Rosie had to keep finishing his sentences, but at the time I assumed it was some sort of act that he was putting on, just to be funny. Who gets drunk before going on a morning show? Did Rhea know? Are they still married? Call me when you get tickets to Oprah.
Who cares that you didn't know Danny D. was drunk. How did you get tickets to The View? I love those women. I don't get to watch the show very often, but when I do I always laugh. I'm even considering getting TIVO just so I can see it.
