She's Better Than Marie Osmond!

Filed under: TV News > Kirstie Alley > Valerie Bertinelli

jtm-033844.jpg

From sitcom star to fatty spokeswhore and now? TV Talk show host!

Valerie Bertinelli, the former One Day at a Time star, has just signed on to a deal with CBS to develop a new syndicated talk show. The show is expected to be on air as early as 2009-2010.

We'd watch.

She's admitted to being a slut and a druggie in the past. She's got a lot to talk about!

Bertinelli is also banking on the success of her recent autobiography, Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time. Lots of fat talk. It usually sells. We should buy it!

Aside from the book, she is also starring in an upcoming Lifetime movie, True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet, and there's an A&E Biography on her in the works.

Valerie must be celebrating, she's slowly getting her career moving again.

Kirstie Alley must be pissed! Jenny Craig didn't help get her career back.

    I think she is great- she is nice looking and REAL. So much more interesting than a lot of the bimbos out there now. Many more women can relate to her. I will watch her talk show- I think Oprah starting to get on a lot of peoples nerves anyway.

    Aside from being over 40 and hot, hot, hot, she seems to be aan all-around good person with far fewer notorious mistakes then others her age in her field. I'd tune in and listen. She was a good guest on Larry King the other night.

    Mackenzie Phillips, Christy Mcnichol, Tina Yothers… any one of these names would be famous if they had married Eddie Van Halen. She's a uselses skifuzza who delusionally thinks that she matters on her own, without her more famous husband.

    I've always thought she was so cute. I'd watch her show.

    OK - First - Marie Osmond's talk show will kill Valeries. Fan or not - Marie is America's sweetheart and Valerie is a wannabe - lol. I think Marie's fans - from her doll collectors to her Dancing/Stars fans to the kids that grew up with her gove her a way bigger fan base to sustain a talk show. Besides - The Donny & Marie talk show was not a bomb - it was nominated for a Daytime Emmy - but I read that production ceased due to insider issues or some crap like that. It had a good two year run. Best of luck to both of them (I work full time and will not be watching either…but if I TIVO'd either of them (which I won't…lol) - It would be Marie's. Laters

    Why is it always a competition, Valerie, Marie, Kirstie are all great women, period. Everyone has something different to contribute.

    From rock goddess to talk goddess. I saw her on Larry King, and she gives good chat. She was honest, insightful and was all about the issues being discussed rather than all about herself, and she pronunciates well and clearly. She navigated Van Halen in the eighties, lol so she might be able to navigate a talk show couch. Oprah managed it.

  41. leeka says – reply to this

    Boy did she pull one over. Everyone thought she was the sweet innocent good girl with bad boy Eddie. The truth is out, doing drugs with McKenzie, having sex at 16 and drugs with Eddie. . . not to mentioin cheating on him.

    Perfect example of WAY too much information. I would rather of kept the other image. Why Val? Why must you tell the world of your sordid past? It's your PERSONAL info. Sad. So desparate for attention and that lost stardom.

    thats awesome to here her career taking off again.

    kirstie alley didnt get skinny.. so no one cares since shes still fat just 50lbs lighter.

    WHY DOESNT PEREZ HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE ARTICLE THAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT HIM TODAY IN THE NYPOST GOSSIP SECTION ???ABOUT A SEX TAPE HE RECEIVED FROM SOMEONE ONLINE???? WHY NOT PEREZ? CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!!!????? HE SEEMED TO HAVE READ ABOUT NICOLE KIDMAN AND HER "GLASS OF WINE.."……HMMMMM

  45. I Love Valerie says – reply to this

    I am a couple of years younger that her and I remember being a teenager in my horrible upbringing house and feeling just scared and sad in my own house (alcoholic step father, timid mother). My life is amazing now and I feel very good for Valerie that her life has done a 180 and is very good too. But watching all these One Day at a Time clips on TV lately has been really rough. It's a million years ago but shit, I hate seeing them for my own reasons! Go Val!

    I loved her on Oprah the other day. She's got a great personality and is very relatable for real women. Plus, she's cute as a bug and is a testament that you can change your life and get healthy.

    I've always admired Valerie. She seems like a genuinely nice person who happens to be a celebrity who has problems just like you and me. At least she's lived her life, has lots of experience to draw upon and can talk. As long as she stays funny, real and relatable, she has a great chance, I think.

    WHY DID EVERYONE THINK THIS GIRL WAS HOT IN THE 70s? I DON'T GET IT. SHE LOOKS LIKE RACHEL RAY.

    Congrats to Valerie. I've always liked her, she's seems to have a great personality.

    Kirstie, meh…. I can't support anything she does 'cus of her supporting that scam of "church" she belongs to.

    Kirstie's check to the Scientologists must not have cleared. That would mess up her being "CLEAR".

    Valerie looks so beautiful, and in such a natural way too. It's refreshing to see someone who hasn't destroyed her face with the paralyzing effects of Botox.

  64. Erin says – reply to this

    Know what's funny? The fact that Kirstie Alley's career was actually LESS in the shitter when she was obese and had a fairly popular show to show for it. Now she's lost all that weight and can't be the "Fat Actress" anymore and nobody wants her. Irony is fantastic.

    How much of a slut could she have been in the past? Didn't she marry van Halen when she was like 21?

    I've always loved V.B. Ever since I was a tween and watched "One Day at a Time" She's always been great in the Lifetime movies too. Very down to earth and unpretentious.

    Love her!!!! She tried to make her marriage to EVH work but he acted like a total ass. Constant drinking, smoking, partying. Oh well…..Van Halen rocks!!!! Love them too.

    FOX NEWS FOX NEWS FOW NEWS
    Morning News Show Host maybe, but not a talk show. I think a talk show would fail with Val because
    people want either a comedian ( think Ellen or Rosie) Or someone able to do more serious topics ( think Phil Donahue, Oprah) She is too cute and perky for either of these roles. BUT FOX for example, has the absolute WORST AM morning news show. Val would kill it for them. Bring them ratings in the same way Katie Corek ( sp) did. You want cute and perky in the AM, cause ya need to wake up!

    Good for Val. I'd much rather watch a slutty drug fiend host her own show.

    I wonder if she'll ever reveal that Eddie Van Halen is her brother? I mean, I know couples can begin to look like one another, but c'mon! They could be twins!

    Sorry, for the double post, but….

    I meant to say I'd rather watch a slutty talkshow host than a morally sound one.

    She needs a new stylist though, because in this picture, she looks like a Mormon.

    ewww, too much info from someone unimportant. it's really sad to see a child star turn into a tattletale spokesfatty. i used to watch her old show when i was like 4, even though i didn't understand most of it. i must say, however, she looks great.
