oh, Valerie

Well, I see in today's celeb news that Valerie admits in her new tell-all autobiography (and I guess in an Oprah interview) that she cheated on Eddie. And Eddie cheated on her, but she apparently cheated first.

I dunno. Does this mean I need to shun her as an adulteress, and not invite her to poker with Drew? Or maybe I should invite her, but then stone her instead of feeding her low-fat Jenny Craig-approved hors d'oeuvres. That'd fix her!

(Perhaps this post calls for a brand new tag. Not that I underestimate y'all.)

Maybe it's just a lie?

Here's the thing, would anyone be paying attention to Valerie's autobiography if there weren't any dirt? If she actually was as pure as the driven snow (an appropriate metaphor for today)--or at least as pure as anyone married for 20+ years to Eddie Van Halen could be--would anyone be paying $26 to read it?

Yet give out some sexy, if fictional, details and now it's #12 at Barnes&Noble.com (though only #88 overall at Amazon, which obviously has a higher class of readership).

Of course, being Valerie Bertinelli, I'm sure she got many, many good offers per day. And given that Eddie was probably often in a drug-induced stupor, and perhaps unable to... ummm.... "perform" offstage, who could possibly blame her for needing an... outlet?

In any case, I have it on familial authority (IIRC) that Drew doesn't play poker, she just watches, whereas I bet Valerie could go all in at the river with the best of them. ;)

Stoning would be such a waste. Maybe just some temporary shunning.

I'm already rehearsing my response to Deborah Norville: "No Comment"

I've got two things to say about that:

1.) Oprah will get the truth outta you, mister. She's skeery.

2.) Does this mean I've got to waste $26 to see if you're named in there? That's friggin' half a cami.

Oh, and if Drew doesn't really play poker, wouldn't that make it easier to hustle her?

Just sayin. :-)

Good point.

I'll have to check and see if my memory's correct!

As has long been suspected, my memory is faulty.

Drew does play poker... and she does win fairly often (so no, it might not be so easy to hustle her) but received opinion is that she's more lucky than actually skilled.

Of course, when you have that much money, it's not so hard to throw it around a poker table and knock people out even if you don't have the reads or the cards.

hahaha

I can't believe you called and checked. Shouldn't you be busy packing your mosquito netting or something? :-)

Other way around. :)

He called me trying to score a free computer while I was in the midst of finalizing the last hotel and car reservations.

So at least I got some inside information out of the interruption. ;)
