Did Anyone Watch Valerie Bertinelli on Oprah Yesterday?

[Christine]

Wow...she's not what I thought!

She seems very nice and down to earth but I guess I was just naive about her past. Not being judgmental, I just sort of bought the whole "girl next door" facade!! Anyway, it was an interesting and very candid show. She even seemed to make Oprah flinch a few times.

Didn't see it -- what is her past -- I thought she was a goodie goodie too.

I didn't see it. What did she say about herself that made Oprah flinch????

Christine I thought the same thing! I was listening in the car. She was weird....there is something not right. My mouth was on the floor most of the ride home

 

[MAKmom]

She is very abrasive about her drug addiction in the past. Then she was talking about sleeping with Steven Spielberg & was crude.

Drug use with Eddie Van Halen, her brief stint with Steven Spielberg to include sleeping with him (she was about 18 or 19 at the time), her first kiss with a woman, her being the first to cheat in her marriage....

Valerie Bertinelli and Steven Spielberg??!!
Wow......that's troubling to me as the visual image of Steven is not a pretty one!

OH MY!

See? Another freaking reason I'd rather be home all day eating bon-bons, watching Oprah, then working.

I miss all the good stuff.

Actually, they showed pics of them together. He was MUCH younger (of course) and kind of cute in his geeky way. Even Oprah commented that he was rather nice looking back then.

You just gotta get a job like mine that gets you home by 4:00 p.m. (that's when Oprah is on here in D.C.).

EWWWWWWWWWW I missed that show!

 

[Robmom]

I missed it, but I did read earlier in the week that she said that both she and Eddie cheated on eachother. She said that Eddie says that she did first, but she said she isn't sure. I thought she was a goodie goodie too. I still like her though, and I do give her credit for losing all that weight.

Thanks for info -- boy, I would have never imagined. Maybe a little drug use -- considering era & being married to EVH.

Well, yesterday, she said she was the first. It was five years into the marriage and she was off in Japan for some reason. She did say that Eddie cheated many, many times. I got the impression that she wasn't a serial cheater--she was apparently quite lonely.

Hmmm -- from all the posts - -I guess it is safe to presume that none of us would be sleeping with Steven Spielberg

I wouldn't kick him out of bed. He's rich!!!

I didn't think she was crude, she said they went out for a while and did more, how is that crude ?

Now that would be true

I'm glad you said this! I'm sitting here thinking I must be alone...I didn't think she was crude either. She cracked me UP! I thought she was very honest and matter of fact ~ not crude.

The only "crude" part was when she called it a "bump" and made the motion of snorting it from a spoon. It was just a little classless, really. But I actually kind of admired her honesty and just being "out" with it.

Sometimes I really hate all the tap dancing these celebrities do. It was kind of refreshing just to hear her speak so honestly about it.
