Danny DeVito & Rhea Perlman - Rhea Got Tired Of The Cheating

I don't think anyone really ever thought Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman would split. They were perfect for each other and after three decades together you would think they would go the distance, but it just is not meant to be the case. Does anyone in Hollywood ever go the distance anymore? The couple married in 1982. Hey, how do you want to celebrate our 30th anniversary? Lets get divorced. The couple have three grown children together. I'm going to be really upset if Danny starts going out with some 6 foot tall 19 year old model. I expect it though because he has not always been the most loyal of husbands when it comes to looking the other way for some female companionship. Must have learned it from his buddy Arnold.

I assumed it was his drinking.....do attractive women really sleep with him? He's a cube.

mikey said...

Hey libby, me too!

The drinking gets tiresome to live with, trust me. Kids are grown and maybe she thought now was the time to move on.

Henriette said...

Arnold? What about his best bud Michael Douglas? Douglas is not a paragon of fidelity either.

TWINS! One of my favorite bad movies. A true classic. I loved watching Danny go on talk shows to promote his limoncello booze cause he'd always be smashed.

MrWolf said...

You know, I'd say at least 1 in 5 of the girls I know don't consider monogamy all that important in a relationship.

All this tut tutting gets tiresome, given the fact that pretty much everyone in Hollywood 'knows what's up.'

libby said...

mikey, not only is living with a drunk tiresome, alcohol's an effective way to change a person's personality completely, over time.
(I have a few drunks in my family, as I'm sure many here do.)

I still can't get over the idea of DeVito 'groupies'. He's talented--but not sexy

Henriette said...

I have to say it: I guess it's not sunny in Philadelphia anymore.

Roman Holiday said...

Oh man the thought of sleeping with him is just eeeewwwwww!!!! Seriously, it has to be the booze because I just cannot fathom him hitting on chicks and then taking them to the hotel!!! Has to be hookers???

misspeg86 said...

Haha poor Danny copping all these bad comments about his looks on this post. ITA through. Totally gross, would never go there even if I was a gold digger. Good on his Rhea for having the strength to leave whatever the reason was.

Princess said...

I read they were together or dating for 11 years before they got married, so they were actually together 41! That's a lot to throw away, hope they are both happier in the end.

a non a miss said...

One of the best Sunny episodes involves his character wanting to marry a hooker and the gang trying to stop him. I just started watching the show and it is hysterically disturbing.

Jason said...

Who watched Batman Returns and thought, "You know what, I really wonder what it would be like if the Penguin was naked and on me," and then went out and found out? I know, fame and money, etc., but how does he get laid? The man looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid came to life.

Cathy said...

Anyone remember his drunken appearance on The View about six years ago?

Frufra said...

Rejected, can't believe you just found Sunny - sweet Jesus, it's awesome! Hubs and I are upstanding citizens by day, and secretly disturbed Sunny fans by night.

Marcie S. Wogan said...

A lot of times the "official" announcement takes place long after the actual split. Jessica Lange & Sam Sheppard were many years over when she popped back in to the public view big time with "American Horror Story". To prevent public curiousity building leading to PR problems as why devoted long time partner Sam wasn't her red carpet companion, the split was then revealed. In real life, they hadn't lived together in years. As always ; M

a non a miss said...

My ex was a huge fan and after we broke up, the show reminded me so much of him but I got over it. The show is too funny!

Henriette said...

Since they haven't been in the public eye for a while, they've probably been split for years.

Chris said...

When you're rich and/or famous, women couldn't care less what you look like.

a non a miss said...

Yess! I mentioned it above but I am so glad you found a link to that!

BigMama said...

They have been together since she guested on Taxi as his love intrest. It is sad but I have heard repeatedly that he cheated. A shame. They have a reputation as a loving giving couple to others. Sorry to see this happen. Guess no reationship is perfect.

SusanB said...

I've never seen that Sunny show - I'll have to give it a try.

Wasn't there a blind a while back about a long term couple possibly breaking up because of his drinking? I thought the popular opinion was these two. It's too bad.

OKay said...

Nope, their relationship predates Taxi - they got together in 1970. I don't really understand the point of splitting up after 40 years. I mean, they were together for 12 years before they got married and she stuck it out for another 30 after that. She had to know what she was marrying, and stayed married to, all that time!

nova said...

@Chris if you could take off the bitter woman-hating glasses for like 2 secs you'd come to the realization that your dumbass comment is in reply to....women who are grossed out by his looks despite his being rich and famous. Man, hate makes people stupid as hell.

Amber said...

Maybe Danny and Rhea are just bored. They've been together for a really long time, and maybe they are both like yanno what? Let's see what else life has to offer.

@Susan - only the first two or three seasons are worth watching. It's become a parody of itself.

Roman Holiday said...

@ Chris, I really couldn't care less about his fame/money - I would not sleep with him!

gin said...

Bizarrely, I've had a crush on Danny Devito since I was a kid. My parents used to tease me about it. And now I'm thirty, and I still totally would be into it... :(

Silly Girl said...

@SusanB, I was wondering the same thing. I seem to recall a blind, not too long ago, about a couple who has been together a really long time, who was splitting up, and we would be really surprised at who it is. I can't remember if there was drinking involved.

SugarSpiceNothingNice said...

When the cast of It's Always Sunny did a tour of The Nightman Cometh, Rhea accompanied them on piano. This split makes me so sad!

__-__=__ said...

Funny is always sexy. I hope Rhea finds someone who appreciates her. I think Danny has had one too many lemoncellos.

auntliddy said...

Agree, prob the cheating and drinking. Mb she figured, I want to be peaceful and happy now. As gor getting the ladies, ive heard he has great personality and is alot if fun. Sad tho.

OneGirlRevolution said...

I would imagine that he is charming and hysterically funny...that is sexier over the long term than any six pack (unless said six pack is accompanied by charm and humor). I can totally see how women would be drawn to him.

And like it or not, Chris' comment is immanently true for many women and it doesn't take being a woman hater to know it.

All about Eve said...

Really loving your blog! Haven't been on in a few days but I'm looking forward to reading what I've missed!

AKM said...

In her autobiography, Marilu Henner was emphatic that Danny DeVito was in fact the sexiest guy on the "Taxi" set, she would have loved to have dated him had he not been so devoted to Rhea (at least at that time, I suppose), and that he might just be one of the sexiest men she'd ever met, period.

Looks and sex appeal just don't always go hand-in-hand. Name a not-conventionally attractive star, and I personally would take him over, say, Brad Pitt or Clooney any day. Humor, for one, is incredibly sexy, and DeVito's all over that. *shrug*

Seonaid Divine said...

Sh't, I'd do him. But then my standards have always been low. Just ask my ex.
;)

Seonaid Divine said...

@AKM
This is refreshing to hear. I'd choose a lonely night in with run down batteries to Brad Pitt. Humour does win. Still, it wouldn't hurt to be roaring drunk when Danny Boy comes knockin'.
:)

theinternetbully said...

Now who's going to speak for the trees?

GemTwist said...

Sounds like someone got busted...

Pookie said...

i love them both...(matilda!!!) but honestly i just can't wrap my head around itty-bitty-roly-poly devito getting his cheat on.

my mind. it's blown.

selenakyle said...

Awww, that sucks.

Funny works for me! Would I get it on with an old dude who is short, not attractive but hella funny? Hell yes...IF he was single (and didn't stink to high heavens and/or wasn't totally gross).

This just makes me sad, though.

figgy said...

I've always thought she was quite attractive. Maybe now she'll find someone else; even at this age she still have a rockin' figure.

Roman Holiday said...

Don't get me wrong - I am all about the funny - I actually think Gene Wilder is so sexy!!! But I am just not attracted to the short fat man!! Would I have a drink and some laughs with him? Absofigginlutely!!!!!

Mango said...

Gee, if these two kids can't make it work forever I don't think anyone can.

I have a friend who males lemoncello and tangerinecello and that stuff is so wicked and insidious. You put the bottle in the freezer and it gets all slushy. It's delicious and packs a wallop.

Cecilia00 said...

@AKM - Amen.

Danny is witty, accomplished over tremendous odds, funny, and charismatic. I can see many women being attracted him

SusanB said...

OMG - @Roman Holiday - I have ALWAYS had a thing for Gene Wilder. ALWAYS.

a non a miss said...

Roman and SusanB- I too have a thing for Gene! He's so funny!

csproat said...

WUUUUUUUUH?!

So you're saying there is actually a chick out there...who would consent to........OMG...I'm gonna pass out!

ljsmed said...

I dated a guy 10 years older than me in my very early twenties and then again in my mid-twenties (same guy) he was short, not terribly, but about three inches taller than me (5'5). He was on the thicker side and balding. People just couldn't understand... He was the funniest, most loving, generous guy I had ever met. He was like this to everyone, in fact there were a few that did not like me because we were dating. In the end the addictions that he had ruined us, multiple different ones. But, looks aren't always the most important thing, you do have to hang out with the person too. :)

1Jazzimom said...

No matter how many years spent together, if it's true, she deserves to try somthing new.

WUWT? said...

If he regrets letting her go, I hope he cleans up, sobers up, and then finds her and gives her the Love is the End of Happiness speech and it works, like it did on Taxi.


I think of the premise of that speech a lot.

AKM said...

Yes, WUWT? !! I am obsessed with "Taxi" right now, and I just watched that episode. Wow.

Now I'm even sadder. :-(

AKM said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaAA3PMLulk&feature=youtu.be

Sniffle, sniffle...

WUWT? said...

AKM, Ahh, it's been years since I saw that. I think of it a lot but it's been SO long since I'd watched it. Just as I remember it. Almost verbatim. Thank you.

YourNameHere said...

I will never forget when he played the stripper at Phoebe's bachelorette party on Friends!
