'Fairly Legal' Star Sarah Shahi Has a Crush on Danny DeVito

By Denise Warner Posted Jan 20th 2011 05:45PM

Sarah Shahi is a big fan of Danny DeVito and isn't afraid to admit it.

"I had a crush on Danny DeVito ever since I saw him in 'Taxi,' which I know is the weirdest thing in the world to say," Shahi tells PopEater.

The actress also chats with us about her new show 'Fairly Legal.'

On 'Legal,' which the star describes as "'Law & Order' meets 'Sex and the City,'" Sarah plays Kate Reed a legal mediator who works for her stepmother and is still tangled with her soon-to-be ex-husband.

"There's really great character dynamic on the show," she explains.

But Shahi wants to make it clear it's not the same old procedural. "It's like the anti-law law show."

Besides loving the role she plays, Shahi reveals another benefit of starring on the series: the fashion.

"I did love the clothes. We were very designer heavy. She's the anti-lawyer, I didn't want her to look corporate and business like. I wanted her to wear more outfits and look thrown together," she explains of the wardrobe. "It was a lot of Alexander Wang, Phillip Lim, Thakoon, Dries Van Noten, Helmut Lang ... [just] young, great, hip designers."

'Fairly Legal' premieres tonight on USA at 10PM.

Kate Reed will dazzle in her Christian Louboutins(and Sarah,too).Sarah has one very jackpot lucky guy in her life:actor Steve Howey(Van Montgomery from The WB/The CW's"Reba")

I can't wait NOT to watch this show. She's as air-headed and talentless as her pathetic husband. Is there anything good on TV anymore?

GAG, you are all over the internet. Do you ever sleep? Ever have anything nice to say about anyone? Wow, you are really one pathetic person!

Hey GC, you might want to check out how often you're on these blogs and if you ever have anything intelligent to say. By the way, you aren't "George Clooney". Good bet you can't get a date and are sitting at home jackin' it!!

We watched the show last night. Thought the acting good. Liked the show. Not your regular "lawyer show". It will be a fun show to watch. No blood, guts and gore.
