When it comes to celebrity couples, I thought that Rhea Pearlman and Danny DeVito were going to make it until death us do part. I was wrong because the couple separated after 30 years of marriage in 2012. I honestly thought they reconciled, and again I was wrong.
Yesterday, when she was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen she cleared up their relationship when a caller wanted to know how the exes remain so civil to each other. She said that they talk and see each other all the time. In fact, they still love each other even though do not live together anymore.
Will they get a divorce? She had a great reaction, “What for?” Is it wrong for me to hope that someday maybe they will get back together? I have loved their love for each other since they played lovers on Taxi.
Dumbo stars Colin Farrell and Danny DeVito sat down to answer Wired’s Web’s Most Searched Questions. Someone wanted to know if it is true that Farrell auditioned for the Irish (Yes, he is Irish and not British. Don’t make that mistake) boyband Boyzone.
He admitted that he did and the tone-deaf actor sang Wham’s Careless Whisper not once but twice for the producers. He believes they asked him to sing it again because he was so tone deaf and “they could actually believe I had the balls to stand in front of them and sing.”
How bad was he? The actor not singer said, “It was a boy band and look, two of the members of the boyband had dead mics and I could not even be one of them. That’s how bad I was.”
While he was not good enough to sing with Boyzone, he was good enough to sing in Crazy Heart. That was his voice in the movie.
Oh and Danny DeVito really did eat fish in Batman when he played the Penguin.
Before Taxi, Danny DeVito only had small roles on television. Therefore, he did not know the big named producers who were attached to the sitcom.
When the actor got the script, he told Larry King on his Ora TV show that he “loved it”. Thus, he really wanted to make sure he left an impression with them.
He walked in, the casting director introduced him to producers so now it was time for him to sit down and audition in the hot seat. Before he sat down, he said them. “There is one thing I want to know before I start, ‘Who wrote this 💩,'” as he threw the script down on the table. With that Louis De Palma, one of television’s all-time greatest characters on television’s all-time greatest show, was born.
If you have never seen the brilliance of Taxi, watch it on Hulu or Tubi TV, the latter for free. You will understand why this will always be my favorite program. To get a glimpse of what it made it so wonderful, then click here!
A few years ago, on April Fool’s Day, there was a rumor that there was going to be a sequel to Twins called Triplets with Eddie Murphy as their brother. Turns out part of that rumor was true.
Today, when Danny DeVito was on Good Morning America they asked him about it. He said that he and Arnold Schwarzenegger are talking about it, but they don’t know who their triplet will be at this point. Mostly because they still don’t have a screenplay written for it. They have some ideas, but nothing written down on paper just yet.
Once they get that done, then we will finally get a sequel of the 1988 classic.
You know what, I still like the idea of Murphy as the third Benedict.

Last week, when Danny Devito was in Mexico to promote Dumbo, he fell making his way on to the stage. Everyone was worried about him, but he told Extra he is “fine”.
Then he explained what happened. As he walking up the stairs, he got his foot stuck on the top step. He knew he was going to fall, so he just went for it. The reason why he took so long to get up, is that he wanted to check and make sure he did not hurt himself. Which he did not. Although, I think that bodyguard was a little rough with our Danny.
Since nothing, but a fall, gets him down, he still found humor in the situation. Once he recovered, he told them not to print it, even though he knew that they would. Then, when he spoke to Extra, he told Tanika Ray, “As I say to people, I am known to throw myself at the press and I did that day try to emulate Dumbo… but I didn’t have my feather with me, did not fly.” If you can’t laugh at yourself, then no one can.
The one thing that surprised me about the fall is that only two people rushed to help. I would have jumped over people to make sure he was fine. I already lost 2 people from Taxi, I don’t want to lose any more because it is all about me. Plus, he is a national treasure who needs to be protected at all costs.
