Danny DeVito is a little late to Twitter

You're sick of hearing about it, and so am I. Ashton, Demi, Oprah, Miley, etc, etc, yadda, yadda, ad nauseum.

Just a year ago Twitter still belonged to the geeks and a small army of fake "social media experts" so new only a few of them had been removed from their original plastic packaging. Now Twitter is the plaything of A through Z-list celebrities clamoring to validate their position in the universe. And then there was The Danny DeVito.

Frankly, Danny DeVito doesn't need your foolish Twitter to validate his worth. With a career spanning four decades, he still has his finger on the pulse of edge comedy and angsty twenty-something movies. Nevertheless, he's recently begun twatering, or whatever you hip kids are calling it.

So what's he doing on Twitter? The same thing everyone else does; serving up inane, navel-gazing commentary on his day to day adventures. He's not particularly prolific, but he is quite poignant. In his very first tweet, he alerted the public that his testicles were, "on fire." Information like that -- offered in real-time -- is what the Interwebs are all about.

In case you've forgotten just how much fun DeVito can be, take the jump to watch his five drunk minutes on The View -- also known, rather uncoincidentally, as the best five minutes The View has ever broadcast.
