I was reading an edition of Ladies Home Journal the other day when I wondered what the search stats were on 'Valerie Bertinelli Nude'. C'mon, you'd be reading it too if Valerie was on the cover so don't look at me like that. And the nude thing, well, you're here so you can't upbraid me for that, either.
Valerie was probably one of my first celebrity crushes. Just a few years older than I am and just cute as can be - then and now. And she has that smile that makes you melt, just a little, every time you see it. She looks great now. Looked great then. And, frankly, I don't care how chubby she might have gotten, I bet she was STILL cute. The woman can't help it.
I remember being sad at her pairing with EVH but figured someone as cool as him should be the one Valerie lands with. (That was before we realized the cool members of Van Halen weren't the Van Halens...)
Life moves on and we're all older now. Lessons learned. Experienced whether we want to be or not. All that said, Valerie Bertinelli being cute is one of the few constants in our lives that makes the world that much better. Even if she's not nude, you perv.
