Danny DeVito in Damage Control Mode

People magazine reports that Danny DeVito is trying to do some major damage control after his disastrous appearance on The View today. DeVito's appearance was marked by slurred words, rambling stories, and a visit to Rosie O'Donnell's lap. Don't worry, he just sat there. Now he's desperately trying to get ahold of Barbara Walters to apologize.

DeVito admitted that he had been out with George Clooney all night and said: "I knew it was the last seven limoncellos that was going to get me." While the video of his appearance hasn't made it onto YouTube yet, People provides some good details:

On the air, the hosts asked if DeVito had been to sleep, but he mumbled the response, "I don't know." He then embarked on a long and winding tale about having once spent the night in the Lincoln bedroom in the White House and attempted, with his wife Rhea Perlman, to "really wreck the joint."

At one point his words were bleeped after apparently using an obscenity when talking about President Bush.

O'Donnell and co-host Joy Behar seemed amused for the most part, although Walters was visibly impatient, rolling her eyes when DeVito was talking about the President.

"Listen, can we talk about this movie?" she said after the White House story.
