We all knew that Edward cheated on Val, but now Val says she cheated too.

CHICAGO - Valerie Bertinelli says despite her girl-next-door image, her marriage to Eddie Van Halen was hurt by infidelity and drug use - by her, too. "I wasn't an angel, either. I cheated, too," Bertinelli said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" broadcast Monday. "He claims to this day that I cheated first, but I don't know. I don't know about the timing."

Bertinelli, who starred in the long-running sitcom "One Day at a Time," married Van Halen in 1981 when she was 20. She said she was "destroying my body," trying to keep up with a rock-star lifestyle on the weekends and weeks off from taping her TV show.

"It got to a point where whenever I heard the birds chirp, I'd be like, `Oh, God, no.' It took me years after stopping the cocaine before I was able to enjoy a sunrise and enjoy the sound of birds," she said.

The couple separated in 2001. Their divorce became final in December. They have a son, Wolfgang, who's now 16 and touring as bassist with the band Van Halen.

The actress, 47, said she has struggled with body-image issues since she was a child, but especially turned to food for comfort as her marriage dissolved.

Bertinelli is now a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig and said she's lost 40 pounds. She has a new book, "Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time."

Van Halen's publicist said the musician had no comment on Bertinelli's book or interviews to promote it.

Its 1:30 in the morning and Im watching Oprah now.
That women is still a fuckin fox.

Mercy!

God she is H.O.T!!! Her face looks like she's 14 but God knows that the rest of her doesn't thats for sure.

I always thought she was a "me-me-me" bitch....

Who'll give me odds on an 'ED and Val Sex Tape' surfacing in the not-so-distant-future?

[well, we can hope]

There's always two sides to every story...I'm not surprised to hear that she cheated on him as well--Hollyweird is a crazy place after all, and that sort of sh*t is rampant there...I find it a little annoying that she played the "saint" all these years, and now suddenly when the Boys have gotten their act together and gone out on the road, now's the time she picks to publish....now's the time she picks to admit she's not so goody-goody---scandal does bring one attention, doesn't it?

Although, to be honest, I think it takes alot of guts to bring out the truth, whenever it happens....and I truly admire anyone who has the cojones to do so, I really do.

I've got $50 on the next time either one of them goes into rehab.

Good for her.
