Hollywood nasty guy Joe Pesci got himself in a sticky situation when he came to the rescue of a damsel in distress in Los Angeles recently. The tiny Casino star was driving through Hollywood when he spotted a tall blonde woman being assaulted by a man. Enraged, the actor - who made his name as the psychotic Tommy DeVito in mafia movie Goodfellas - pulled over and reprimanded the attacker yelling, "Hey, hey, hey - whaddaya think you're doing? Get the hell outta here!" Recognising Pesci, the man fled. The grateful blonde then flung her arms around the diminutive star, showering him with kisses. Joe looked pleased with himself until the woman said "Thank you" in a deep raspy voice, and - he realised, the woman was a man, a drag queen. According to pals, though, the actor saw the funny side of it and enjoyed sharing the joke with friends.
