Valerie Bertinelli reportedly taped a segment for Oprah and dished the dirt about her marriage and divorce with Eddie Van Halen, dating Steven Spielberg, and doing drugs in her new book Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time. She said:
"He's a handsome young man, isn't he? I went up to read for Raiders of the Lost Ark, which I was so wrong for, way too young for... And the next day I got a call and some flowers ... [Spielberg] asked me out. We went out a few times, um, and did more."
In her book she revealed how she and Spielberg didn't stand a chance because he doesn't like garlic:
"Even though the tabloids reported that Steven and I had a 'special love,' and 'we were talking about marriage,' we knew it was a fling. We had too many differences, including age, career status and religion. I met his mother, and I knew he wasn't going to marry someone who wasn't Jewish. And there was the stuff that really matters to me - food. One night, as we made pasta for dinner, I started to chop up garlic and Steven said, 'No. Stop. No garlic.' I stopped all right, but it wasn't because I took direction from him. I thought, 'Are you kidding me? I can't date a guy who won't eat garlic.'"
Valerie also admitted to cheating:
"I cheated. [Ex-husband Eddie Van Halen] claims to this day that I cheated first, but I don't know. I don't know about the timing."
She even opened up about drug use:
"Got to do another bump."
Oprah asked:
"Another bump?"
Valerie explained:
"Of cocaine."
Valerie replaced Kirstie Alley last year as the spokesperson for Jenny Craig.

I've always liked Valerie Bertinelli a lot, but she seems to reveal too much about herself as well as those who are or were in her life. I guess dishing the dirt is the thing to do to make a quick buck these days. Valerie seems to be really "losing it" eh?
