You know what they say -- "When in Rome..."

That's exactly what Reba McEntire was thinking on a recent trip to Italy. She and her good buddy Ronnie Dunn were at restaurant in Rome recently when the times, oh, they got good.

There is a very strong Italian brandy called grappa and it helped Reba be the star of an impromptu tableside performance.

Someone opened a bottle and passed it around and next thing you know, little Ms Redhead stands up and breaks into the Elvis hit "Now or Never". Of course, video or it didn't happen.

According to Ronnie, "There was a whole table of young students from L.A. behind us. They broke out a great big bottle of grappa...it was huge...and we were passing that around and before I know it, Reba was standing up singing.

"I'm thinking, 'Oh no, we're going to get booted out of here.' Instead she gets an ovation. The Italians are a blast like that, they're so much about having fun and just going with it."

I guess she's not sulking over that whole divorce thing.
