An overly excited Danny DeVito re-introduced his own line of Limoncello liqueur to the public in Las Vegas. DeVito explained to the press that if it wasn't for Limoncello, he wouldn't be where he is today. "Asking for Rhea's hand in marriage, that was about three limoncellos. Whether or not to take Taxi, that was one limoncello and about twelve for Jackie Nicholson. Just about every decision in my life requires at least one to two limoncellos," DeVito replied before welling up.

· Dueling premiere parties, arguments over release dates (too close to Labor Day, American Gangster, and Brad Pitt's Jesse James flick?), and bickering over one-sheet images that reportedly made notoriously cuddly star Russell Crowe feel fat: the tension between Lionsgate and its 3:10 to Yuma talent has certainly made for some good times, according to Slate.
· Jeremy Piven admits to not being as stylish as the professionally wardrobed fictional character for which he is best known.
· Joe Mantegna tries to fill the Mandy Patinkin-shaped hole on Criminal Minds.
· Danny DeVito is not opposed to the terrible, terrible idea of a Throw Momma from the Train sequel.
For New York residents in the early '80s, the only TV commercials more ubiquitous than the tourism campaign that would inspire the hearting of a great number of things were those of Crazy Eddie's—groundbreaking ads that entertained locals, while sensitizing them to the challenges faced by the mentally ill in accurately pricing stereo equipment. A recent confrontation on CNBC between the original "Crazy Eddie" Antar and the cousin who put him away for tax fraud inspired premium Limoncello maker Danny DeVito to bring his life to the screen:
In a season of The View that gave us much to talk about, one of the most noteworthy appearances came when Danny DeVito staggered onto the set and was refreshingly upfront about the all-nighter he had pulled with George Clooney: "I knew it was the last seven limoncellos that were going to get me," he admitted, thus thrusting a heretofore marginally popular Italian lemon liqueur upon the world stage. Now, through a press release, Danny proudly announces his own line of artisanal, cirtrusy hangover-inducers:
Remember back in November when Danny DeVito showed up drunk on limoncello for a taping of "The View"? Yes, we all had a good laugh. Turns out the experience was a less than sobering one for the former "Taxi" star.

Regarding Danny DeVito's drunken mini-rampage on The View, reaction on the day after:
A seemingly still-intoxicated Danny DeVito showed up at The View today admitting he had yet to sleep after an all-night bender with Sexiest Drinking Buddy Alive George Clooney (actually, the slurring made it sound something more like "Cheorlge"), before promptly launching into a heavily bleeped "Bush as the fourth Stooge" routine, and a fond recollection of the erotic adventures he and wife Rhea Pearlman once shared in the Lincoln Bedroom. As unexpectedly gonzo as his inebriated appearance may have been, however, it came nowhere near the extreme heights reached by Monday's show, when DeVito's Deck The Halls co-star Matthew Broderick insisted on removing his shoe and sock and injecting heroin between his toes during Elisabeth Hasselbeck's fawning monologue about how much the character of Carrie Bradshaw means to her.
