Clooney's 'Brutal Night' With DeVito

Blame it on the shots of limoncello.

George Clooney says he woke up tipsy after a "brutal night" out on the town with his pal Danny DeVito.

"Well the funniest thing was, ah, you know, we were just at a restaurant," Clooney says in an interview to air Monday on NBC's "Today" show.

"It wasn't like we were out drinking. We were at a restaurant, sitting down, drinking. I was in bed by 11:30 at night and I woke up at, you know, 7 (a.m.) and I was still drunk (laughs). ... It was a brutal night."

Clooney, 45, tells "Today" co-host Matt Lauer that he and DeVito "were doing shots of limoncello and that's all I can really say on the subject."

He also tells Lauer it is "all I can remember."

DeVito made a loopy appearance Wednesday on ABC's "The View," saying he'd had a late night out with Clooney.

"I knew it was the last seven limoncellos that was going to get me," said the 62-year-old actor, apparently fond of the lemon liqueur.

When Lauer asks Clooney how much was consumed, he replies: "A lot. ... I got to the point where I was dumping the shots into, ah, you know, a plant next to me and, um, I don't think ... I don't think Danny saw me do that."

DeVito — who was promoting his new comedy, "Deck the Halls" — slurred his speech and used some bad language when joking about President George W. Bush, among other gaffes, during his appearance on "The View."

"You know, we love him," Barbara Walters, co-host of the daytime talk show, said on Thursday's show. "We'll have him on again ... better sober than not."

DeVito's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, said the actor would talk to Walters privately and that no further statement was planned.
