  • She is very Pretty, Just like Mackenzie Phillips!

  • I am 40 years old and since the age of 13 I have been told over and over again that I look like Valerie Bertanelli. Once I walked into an office and a man sitting there thought I was Valerie. It's pretty funny that people tell me I resemble her more than my own sister or mother.

  • I think she would be the perfect replacement for Oprah when Oprah retires! She has the looks and the right personality.

  • She always has been a very sexy woman! Eddie should have never let this one get away!

  • i cant imagine how hard it must be for any guy that dates valerie. he has such huge shoes to fill.

  • @Hunkola valerie is cute as a button.. who cares if she isn't a big star anymore.. most kids don't make it to the adult transition

  • she is not married to eddie anymore, so she wants nate berkus, to be his boy, and fix up her house, and OH YEA, SHE ROCKED HER LITTLE BIKINI, AFTER HER BOUT W/ JENNY CRAIG. i have had a serious crush on her for 25 years. she is HOT!!!

  • Did she just call Nate Burgess the devil?

  • Did she just call Nate Burgess the devil?

  • She should be playing a Fender guitar here !

    Eddie Van Halen Wolfgang guitars ROCK !

  • She looks very happy these days !!

    And still sounds close to Eddie & Wolfgang Van Halen

    John

  • eat your heart out Ed!

  • There must be a lot of little boys who come here because they are talking like dirty little children. Why must everything be brought down to the lowest level? It isn't funny to anyone with a brain or a heart. No class.

  • wow.seriously dude?

  • I LOVE HER!!!!! I mean it!

  • I'll marry u, Valerie... *sigh*

  • Shes hot and should pose in playboy,but why lower herself to go on oprah what a disgrace!

  • so do i

  • I've watched Valerie since her ONE DAY AT A TIME days..She still Looks great..Hard to believe she turns 50 next year..I swear to got she looks 10-15 years younger!!

  • Valerie is sweet and beautiful.

  • gee, I know what you mean. Like, here I am worrying about my mortgage and the economy and she has the audacity to go on nat'l tv with her roots looking like that. thanks for pointing that out, it makes my bills that much less significant now.

  • I'm sure it does and you are very welcome....smart ass

  • Hello,, I was born on 4/16/1960 in a family w/ 3 boys and 1 girl, her being second oldest.

    My father worked at Ford motor co.

    I too was addicted to controlled substance and it to ruined my marrage..

    I also have just 1 offspring and she is 17 yrs old.

    So whats my point..? The more I read about Valerie the more I read about myself it would seem.. very bizzare

  • oprah sucks

  • I don't think she'd make the same mistake twice..Her & Ed just shoulda dated for a long time, they were way too young to get married.

  • Bertinelli is MILF!

  • Why doesn't she ask Edward Van Halen to marry her? I heard he is a free man now.

  • it is'nt clear

  • You guys gotta remember, this is hollywood, what comes around goes around, the only thing that's really changed is the prowess of the media. They have a nice finanical cushion, maybe they are addicted to the media, maybe others around them create artificial religions. We all fail the only difference is we tend to point our fingers to the ones that the camera points most on. Hell the only way any of them get respect is if they sell everything and work 9-5 like the rest of us. That won't happen.

  • Nate won't marry you unless you grow a peter

  • i thought she was married to eddie van halen...

  • Divorced in 2007, although separated since 2001.

  • hemoten cmsncsnjd sasjqiwhwq a

  • Valerie looks as cute as she did back in the 70s! Does this woman ever age? Gorgeous hair too.

  • Some of those 70 sitcoms girls had really good genes.

  • Is rod stewart the only rock-star with a good sense of taste when it comes to women? yoko,valerie,jerry lee lewis' first cousin,heather mccartney,sharon osborne (is kinda hot),david crosby and mel-lisa etheridge!?elton john and..nevermind:)

  • I can't believe how amazing Valerie looks in her new ad with the surf board. She looks like she did back in the 70's. How is that possible? On the show with the Angels, she looked over 50, and haggard. Now she looks 30 years younger. Did she have plastic surgery? I'm confused. losing weight shouldn't take 30 years off of a person....soooo weird.

  • I think it's a lot more than just weight loss. Eating well and taking good care of yourself both help a lot - but getting rid of Eddie was probably the best thing she did. That got rid of a ton of drama and depression.

  • I agree with you except that it's a life long thing. Generally when you live a good portion of your life not eating and exercising and then lose 40 or so pounds, you still have the wrinkles and cellulite from losing, gaining and not eating right. She really does look 20 years old again. It's just weird to me. Also, naming her son "Wolfgang" is weird too, so Eddie isn't the only odd one in the family. :) I always did think she was so pretty on One Day at a Time.

  • Boo hoo, poor rich people, so shocking that their marriage wasn't perfect. She must have had such a tough time of spending his money while he's on the road...

  • Give me several billion and watch how much fucking energy I have.

  • Barack Obama's suddenly radioactive pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has defended himself against charges of anti-Americanism and racism by referring to his foundational philosophy, the "black liberation theology" of scholars such as James Cone, who regard Jesus Christ as a "black messiah" and blacks as "the chosen people" who will only accept a god who assists their aim of destroying the "white enemy."

  • What the hell does this have to do with Valerie on Oprah Get a frkn liffe Loser

  • Did anyone notice how open, honest,funny, real, healty or determined Val is? Thank you for being real, how nice to see that in today's celebs!

    Kudo's to Val and Oprah, you are both great!

  • omg, i would so have sex with her, and im 22(and maybe a 7 on a scale of 1-10.) that speaks volumes about this woman.

  • Oprah has really let me down along with thousands of other people with her "New Age Movement". Where is her love for God? Have I misread her? She has forgotten her raising!

  • I like Valerie, but Oprah is proving to be an ANTI-CHRIST! with her New Earth Cult!

  • What a moron

  • I can not wait until she has another show about 'the benefits of healthy sex' because -in today's culture, the benefits of having sex cannot be expressed enough.

  • True beauty comes from the heart and it is not only from outside or artificial. True beauty is what GOD PUT IN YOU so that you reflect HIS GLORY here on EARTH and represent GOD.... true beauty is serving GOD AND MAGNIFYING HIM before the world and showing the WORLD that GOD IS AMAZING THAT HE GAVE JESUS TO DIE FOR US - TRUE BEAUTY CANNOT BE COPIED ! TRUE BEAUTY IS NOT ***lieing*** to people that ALL ROADS LEAD TO GOD (like oprah did) but telling the truth NOT ALL ROADS LEAD YOU HOME, or to GOD

  • Hey, my name is Valerie... Anyway she looks like shes 40.

  • Yeah she looks really good for 48.She is still a timeless beauty.

  • Man I think she is still hot ....

  • Talk about timeless beauty. Ive still got the boyhood crush on this fine and classy woman. If she doesnt call me, Lynda Carter, youre still haunting my dreams. (winks) So glad Jennie Craig finally offed Fat, groos and not funny at all Ally.

  • Losing weight, releasing a book of her life revealing all truths, finally getting out of a horrible marriage, and finishing highschool all happening within months... And this all has to do with cross promotion aye? neither she ,eddie or they're son need money,

  • your a bonehead...people like valerie bertinelli are "addicted" to fame...her acting career is in the toilet...so what does she have to sell these days..her fat body to jenny craig and the gossip of her personal life to book publishers..and her publisher knew to release the book when they did when the tour was being touted as one of the most successful of the year...you obviously aint a parent..hope not..you'd be more "sensitive" to the needs of a "child"...in this case bertinelli hurt her son.

  • so mutant tell me why the book was not released, at the beginning of the van halen tour which started last year 2007. After all it is the same tour which has been lengthened. This would be prime for cross promotion not half way through the tour. At the same time in january 2008 valerie was getting her highschool diploma... hmm then her book comes out. Sounds like shes making some life changes, cross promotion or any of your other garbage talk has nothing to do with it.

  • she is so cool

  • ...Love her hair. lol

  • wow

  • She's still gorgeous.

  • echarelle you are so right.  most of the paparazzi ONLY HAPPENED during events like the Grammys the TONYS and the OSCARS....NOW its 24/7 stalking LEGITIMATE stalking that really borders on criminal!!!

  • I was in Borders bookstore and I started reading her book and I COULD NOT put it down. It was very interesting, and yes, the book was for Wolfie and it probably was very awkward hearing about his moms first time or whatever you wanna call it. But still, it's very interesting and I very much would like to buy it. But boy is it pricey! $27.95! Very good book though. I love her, she's funny and awesome.

  • try the library, I have it from my library right now. Val is cool. I wish people on here would obey the rules and stop the negativity and swearing.

  • There's one huge difference. Valerie does admit to doing some drugs with Eddie in private, but in her public life she was always professional. She never got arrested for drunk driving, was never photographed getting out of a car without underwear on, never appeared on an awards show high as a kite, and always showed up to work on time. And she was smart enough to stop doing coke when she realized it made her sick, instead of going in and out of rehab countless times.

  • funny how everyone thought these two had it made,, how every chick wanted eddie v and every guy wanted valerie, turns out they had a crap marriage, cheated on each other all the time and did drugs most of the time,, nice,,,they should be on Jerry Springer,, i would still let valerie shag me.

  • "NO" MOTHER OF THE she humiliates her son by writing this "tell" all book.she doesnt need the money.her son is 16.a tough age.and he has to hear his mom f cked women,drugs.sure he new it.but its rubbed in his face, now subjected to teasing from others.how does a mom do this to her child?i bet she lets wolfie continue on that tour after ed gets out of rehab.any quality mom would yank him off that tour.and that would have been the condition.stay sober eddie or no wolfie on tour with u.

  • this isnt the 1940's. drugs women fucking women is not that uncommon even in the 80's . who gives a fuck. wolfgang should be happy his mom has experimented and lived a very liberal life, as opposed to moms who have never even gotten high before ,and punish there kids for smoking just weed. If kids were teasing me all id say is .. my dad is eddie van fucking halen bitches. lots of people have an interest into what her life must have been like,and she showed them. I have nothing but respect

  • first off idiot let me help u here...wolfir was 16 when he started out on this van halen tour..so mommy releases her book to coincide with the tour..cross promotion...very nice of momma...not easy being 16 but it dont help when your mom blabs to the world bout her sordid life...its her timing that i have a problem with...shes a slag pig

  • makes a little more sense for her to release her book after her and eddie are divorced, which was only finalized no more than 6 months ago. It just soo happens oh WOAHH another van halen tour.. . If eddie is still alive the tours will continue, soo shall she wait to release her book when eddie is either dead , or finished touring... your a fucking douchemonkey ,cross promotion blah blah. shut the fuck up and go post this shit on people who deserve your lame ass comments.

  • I'll High 5 you on that one, 666marquis. She's like a fine wine...better with age. Eddie VanHalen had a good woman & he screwed that marriage up.

  • I wanna bang VB.  She is the Queen of the MILFs!

  • I've been a long time VH fan and followed the press from things like Hit Parader magazine... I was rooting for them and the stories were rather shocking as we hear the truth now. They hid their problems well.. Though with Valerie and David Lee Roth, it was somewhat out in the open. We know Eddie had drinking issues

  • Ok Valerie, you've lost some weight but PLEASE do not wear a bikini on TV, at least not while I'm eating ok? mmmbye bye

  • Now I feel bad for saying that Eddie Van Halen looks like her could be Valerie Bertinelli's Grandfather.

    His concert tours got cancelled. He is in the

    hospital and they are doing lots of test on

    him to determine his diagnosis and treatment.

    That does not sound good. (He has history of cancer.) Everyone say a prayer for Eddie Van Halen.

  • His tour isn't canceled he just postponed a few dates he should be ok hes eddie van halen!

  • His tour isn't canceled he just postponed a few dates he should be ok hes eddie van halen!

  • Newvct -

    That's good. I was afraid that the cancer

    had returned. Eddie has so many fans.

    I hope he gets healthy.

  • Hi Val. I am 5 4 too and my weight flucsuates exactly like yours from 115 as a yound 20 something to sometimes 172 now as a late 40 something and back to 158 and everywhere in between so I could really relate to your book. Please drop me a line cuz I am a lifelong fan. Thanks. Best wishes.

  • valeri says in her book she likes money,cocaine and big dicks..gee..isnt that most woman who marry rock stars?

  • Attention Whore with a personality disorder. Valerie, since you are reading the comments here you need to rep a company that specializes in thinking pills. Way to bash you ex at the expense of your child. Fame whore.

  • Dah....she is in show business....of course she lilke fame and attention! I think she is great.

  • Great....GREAT?? Great at what? Playing a teenager years and years ago? She comes across like she's really full of herself. The only reason she lost weight was to claw her way back into show business. When her 15 minutes of fame is over, she'll gain the weight back, I gaurantee it.

  • Poor Eddie V.

  • Britney deserved to be trashed talked about,she had her chance with her life and kids,now she thrown that away.

  • Ah TOO BAD, but my mom's already dead,like 20 years ago,you sick mother-fcker, now go take your psych and OCD meds Britney's sister.

  • I'm replying to 0652 about pasting a sentence or mom will die,(WEIRD),see my comment to crazy biotch, below.....

  • It's a common plague of the internet for pathetic losers to create and/or share this kind of spam. It's called a chain-post, and is a small version of chain-letters. You are told to spread their crap or something bad will happen. Don't respond with words, respond by clicking the "Spam" button, and pretend you never saw it. :)

  • Thankyou so much will do that from now on.

  • You know it takes alot of balls to air your dirty laundry in public.She stayed in that marriage 10 xtra years for the sake of her son. Unlike britney who seems to have children every other year and then dump them on others.Valerie is a great mom and you know what this stuff happened before she was a mom.Back in the 80's cocaine wasn't the danger it is known to be now. Are you perfect?

  • she` very pretty but way too crazy

  • she's been through a lot and is still going strong - a working actress in hollywood - not easy

  • shes still one fine POA

  • Echarelle -

    I have no sympathy for the Paris's and Lindsey's either. They should stay home

    instead of driving around paparazzi headquarter without their

  • Will Valerie vote for the Barack Obama theme song? Watch and let me know.

  • woah not at all.

    that word to me has a super-negative connotation so it was kind of just a dumb thing to say. what i meant by 'it's oprah' is just that oprah is really cool lol and shouldn't be called a bad name.

    not sure if that cleared it up, but i meant nothing bad.

  • Picture Oprah with bikini.

  • bullshit.  she's hot, and she's funny and kind.

  • Love this girl! She's awsome and still hot!

  • can't we all just get along.

  • wtf is your problem.

    it's oprah.

    jeez.

  • We can not like Oprah for being racest but don't call her names it make you look like an idiot.

  • I liked Valerie Bertinelli better fat, with the mushy chunky ass.

    By the way, why is training with the gay dude from Judas Priest?

    Sincerely,

    The Legendary Danny O'Doul

  • I'd still bone her!!

  • i can see why eddie divorced her shes an ass.

  • To each his/her own.

  • I was so in love with her 25 years ago LOL

  • i want valerie to come over to my place and snort a line off my butt.

  • f j

  • All these years I thought Eddie was the bad one. The alcoholic who messed everything up. In one of her interviews she says to this day Eddie claims she cheated. Why Valarie? and why didn't you leave sooner. You had plenty of money to go and why do you reveal it now. I am totally disgusted with you. You certainly don't have my sympathy.

  • Valerie is beautiful!!! I salute her for "purging" all of the crap and getting on w/her life-you go girl!!

  • No matter what we think personally saying mean things about either party isn't cool. They've both been thru alot and they're still here and they gave the marriage a good try. I give em cudos for that.

  • She looks damn nice for a 50 year old woman. Her voice hasn't changed at all, still sounds like a teenager. Good for her.

  • She is almost 48; wasn't she a teen on that show in the 80's? Her cells just don't age.

    Looks younger than her son does. A lot younger.

  • to those of you that are commenting on eddie van halens looks, the guy was battling cancer a while back and cancer can severly alter ones looks. For a quite a while he looked like an eternally youthful boy even in the nineties. As far as the marriage is concerned if you listen to valerie that failure is both of their faults. They both screwed that up. They both cheated on each other. Eddies fault was he couldnt quit the booze. Thank goodness he's sober now. Lets hope he stays that way.

  • Cancer did not make Eddie Van Halen look like a mummy. It was 20+ years of Rock n Roll. read: a diet of Drugs, booze and smokes. Cancer was the innevitable result of that lifestyle.

  • Klyniss -

    I said it once but I'll say it again -

    Eddie Van Halen and Keith Richards must

    have done the same drugs. Look at them!

    Plenty of people recover from cancer looking

    better than ever. No, it's the drugs and life

    style that has ruined Eddie's looks. Eddie and Valerie used to look like twins. Now he looks like her Grandfather.

  • Who is this woman ? =) Love Oprah!

    **********

    IM PRETTY NEW ON YOUTUBE. WATCH MY VIDEOS AND

    PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK =)

  • Look up Delta moon base and go into the first video. She is still hot for her age.

  • I always had the hots for her. When I was 7 yrs. old and now in my 30s!

  • I read her book in one day (at a time?) it was VERY revealing and well-written!

    all was not roses in her life behind the scenes! wow..nearly 48 and looks 37.

    she was and is beautiful and funny!

  • Valerie is beautiful. She hasn't aged a day

    since she was a teenager on One Day at a Time.

    Eddie Van Halen, on the other hand - Looks like hell. He must have done the same drugs

    as Keith Richards to get this wringled up. Bertinelli deserves a Nobel Peace

    Prize for staying with that thing as long as

    she did.

  • yeah eddie payed for her plastic surgery dumbass

  • Motallero -

    Eddie is in dire need of a face lift!!!

    He has the face of a raison.

    Valerie has never had any plastic surgery.

    Nor does she need any.

    Whatever drugs, Eddie Van Halen did - it could

    not be worth looking 160 years. He not even 50!!!

    I repeat: Eddie Van Halen looks like Valerie

    Bertinelli's Grand Father.

  • Lord almighty she is a FINE looking woman! Class and everything. All Eddie had to do was not be a dick, but alas...a dick he is. He fucked up one of the best things that might have ever happened to him.

  • How much did she weigh to start with?

  • in her book it said around 170 or more.

    she looks 10 years younger and beautiful now!

  • Valerie Bertinelli.. I love her she is awesome XD she kissed another woman and asked Oprah if she has... it made me lol, she tells it like it is!!

  • This is only one side of the story

  • I know Ed's a major ass but if it were not for their marriage, no one would really remember Valerie other than the stupid fucking sitcom watchers. Val is a "B" actor AT BEST and has never done anything worthwhile. Ed on the other hand...

  • dajzilla -

    Eddie Van Halen who? I have no idea who

    he is but Valerie Bertinelli is a living legend. What are you talking about. Eddie

    looks like Keith Richards - I can't believe

    this gorgeous woman ever went out to pizza

    with him - let alone married him.

  • I'm just glad the whole world finally sees what a miserable, insecure asshole Eddie Van Halen has always been. Everyone was pointing fingers at Roth back in 1985 when he left VH, blaming it on his "huge ego", but now we know it was Dave getting fed up with Ed being an insufferable control freak. Eddie is like a cancer....he destroys everything around him.

  • you're ugly

  • If you really knew what kind of Eddie Van Halen is behind closed doors, you would scratch your head and wonder how Valerie stayed married to him for so long. He really is a miserable, vindictive, hate-filled, alcoholic, chain-smoking idiot! Like Diamond Dave once said about Eddie - "He's a great guitar player, but a lousy human being".

  • exactly dude. it's like instead of hitting home runs, eddie keeps hittin foul balls.

  • Valerie stayed with him so long becasue - most of the time - they were not in the same city, both had lovers on the side, and besides, as long as he keeps the cash coming in - she'll stick with the illusion that they were married!!! Agree - Eddie is a great guitar player - but a really poor excust for a man!!

  • She's looking fine again.....I always thought she was classy as hell.

  • She must be broke,her confessions proved no integrity,just like all celebritys of today no class.,and by the way does she no how to act...Hollywoods lost it glam?

  • I don't know what makes women decide at some point in their life to come out and air all their dirty laundry. They seem to all do it between the ages of 35 and 50. I guess they figure out that its just not healthy to keep all those secrets. But in the end it just proves that she is just like the majority of women out there. She's ruined her "america's sweetheart" image. Just another c****

  • I have always adored her, but I have even more respect for her for being able to talk about all of the things she did so openly and honestly and lay it all out there.

    She looks great and truly happy ~ she has that "sparkle" in her eyes & I'm glad she found a new boyfriend ~ and that Eddie found a new girlfriend ~ but most of all I am happy that they get along and are friends now for the sake of their son.

    Now I need to go buy her book!!!! :D

  • I CAN NOT HANDLE HER talking about other guys. EDWARD IS MY HERO.

  • she looks SO good for her age, damn. lol

  • Like fine wine, some women just get better and better. Anne Margeret, Raquel Welch, and now Valerie. What was Eddie thinking when he let her go?

  • She let him go...

  • ...and he had it coming, too. He blew it with David Lee Roth first and Sammy Hagar second. She was just the third (high profile) person to tell him to go f*** himself. He's had it coming for decades. He didn't deserve her. Good luck, Eddie! You need it. Looking great as usual, Valerie!

  • Yeah but Ed has got it together now.... and yes, shes hot.

  • Right - Ed does have it together now. But he sure did seem to lose it for a while there. Good to see him (and Val) looking so well again. He's back on top of his game with Dave & Co. in this (75% at least) reunion. Good for all.

  • Yup and surely Valerie would not let Wolfie on the road if Ed was still a wreck. So good for both of em.

  • Right again. I saw an interview with her prior to the start of the tour and she said she'd be going on the road with them for most shows. I'm not sure how she'd reconcile that with her "own" life, but that's what she said.

  • I'd marry her in a heartbeat!!

  • Some one should tell her Nate's gayyyyyy

  • I was amazed that since the weight loss she looks almost exactly as she did on 'One Day At a Time'. Locked in a time warp.

  • my God...Valerie is STILL HOT,even after all these years!!!!

  • She is pretty and sweet.I always liked her.

  • She's been wonderful since One Day at a Time. She's beautiful, AND nice!! What more could anyone ask for?
