Valerie Bertinelli Says 'I Do' in New Year's Wedding

By Christine Fenno Posted Jan 2nd 2011 08:15AM

More wedding news out of Hollywood, as another star kicked off her new year by walking down the aisle.

After becoming engaged earlier this year, 'Hot in Cleveland' star Valerie Bertinelli, 50, exchanged vows on Saturday night with her longtime boyfriend, 49-year-old financial planner Tom Vitale.

The wedding -- Bertinelli's second -- was an intimate affair in Malibu, hosted by the couple at their home, according to People.com. The guest list numbered approximately 100, including Bertinelli's 19-year-old son, Wolfie -- her only child with ex-husband Eddie Van Halen, who was also in attendance.

Other VIPs at the nuptials included 'Cleveland' co-stars Jane Leeves and Wendie Mallick, as well as Bertinelli's 'One Day at a Time' co-stars Pat Harrington and Mackenzie Phillips, both of whom reportedly made heartfelt toasts at the reception.

"We're so happy!" Bertinelli told People.com, about her wedding news.

The former 'One Day at a Time' teen star first met Vitale in 2004, and the couple got engaged in March on a getaway in Italy.

Bertinelli's first wedding was in 1981; she and Eddie Van Halen split in 2000, and finalized their divorce in 2007. An amicable friendship developed after they ended their long relationship, and the actress was a guest at Van Halen's 2009 wedding.

Of her fresh start with Vitale, the Jenny Craig spokeswoman told AARP magazine earlier this year, "After Ed and I separated, I thought, 'I'll finish raising my son, and I'll go away, have about 40 cats, and just get nice and fat.' I thought I would be alone for the rest of my life....[Now] I can't imagine my life...till the day I die, without him....Marriage at this age is so much different than when I was first married at 20. I feel incredibly lucky because here I am [at] 50 and I feel like I really am in the prime of my life."

By Hi Todd

Valarie aint no beauty!

By Mary

She is lovely. You want to see unattractive ......... Go look in the mirror.

By Sam

I disagree. She is lovely.

By Homer

Now THAT is a ridiculous statement..., just bizarre. If you can name any 'other' 50 year old gal..., or 20 year old for that matter, who looks as good as Valerie Bertinelli I am really curious to know who it might be.

The obvious fact that she is gorgeous.. makes your statement just that much more bizarre. What gives? What's the REAl issue with you? ...just don't like woman or something?

By Ijustwantedtosay

Valerie has had a lot of work done! Don't act like she aged this way naturally! Lol! It just doesn't happen, and Never happens in Hollywood, they start Plastic Surgery in their 30's or earlier. She look great because she had the doctor make her that way. However, I've always liked her and wouldn't care if she aged NATURALLY, wrinkles and all.

Hi Todd, you obviously aren't a judge of beauty, I thought Eddie was a lucky guy and now think Tom is.

Gay Todd Says Val not HOT, He Thinks Perez Hilton is the S#*T

He's just a troll seeking attention because he can't get it any other way. Ignore.

i love valarie all the happiness in the world to her and new hubby. she is an angel

By Cutie

.I wish her well, she always looks so happy as opposed to the rest of Hollywood, but Valerie, Wolfie??? why do people place albatross names around the neck of their children??

By mhdjl

This is in reply to cutie. Wolfie is short for Wolfgang, as in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Valerie's first husband was rocker(musician) Eddie Van Halen. You are either uneducated or very young. I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
