Valerie Bertinelli Cheated On Van Halen

In her tell-all book, Valerie let's some gems slip.

by Tom Miller

Just when you think that a celebrity divorce will be the last you see of that celeb, Valerie Bertinelli hits you with a new tell-all book (Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time). On her book tour, Valerie made a stop by Oprah (and you get a book…). She told Oprah that part of the breakdown of her marriage to Eddie Van Halen (EVH) mutual infidelity. Whaaa? She’s an adorable TV and made-for-TV movie actress. She’s not supposed to cheat. She also went on to tell the Great O that EVH was the one that wanted to take it slow. That he wanted to meet her dad before they slept together.

We’re pretty sure that every celebrity divorce should include a gag order. EVH can really lose a lot of street cred if his sweetness came to light. And she can lose some of her cuteness as a cheater. We know that Jenny Craig is tolerant of fringe religions from its spokeswomen but we’re not too sure about unfaithfulness.

And we’re hoping and praying that Valerie was not the reason that Van Halen broke up. We would never forgive her if she had something going with Sammy Hagar.

“You always have to watch out for a women who doesn’t change her last name, she has no intention of making it last.”

The fairly recent western tradition of abandoning our maiden names was based on the idea that a woman became the ‘property’ of her husband upon marriage. This tradition has made it harder to trace family trees.

Brides in other cultures hardly ever change their names, even though they are decidedly devoted to their marriages, and expected to be subservient to their husbands. This is part of the reason that people from other cultures are able to trace their family trees back for hundreds - if not thousands - of years. But, most of us can barely trace our ancestry back more than 4 or 5 generations without a detective.

A return to the ancient tradition of retaining our surnames has helped women to remain connected to our families of origin while ‘making it last’ as wives and mothers.
