Valerie Bertinelli in a bikini certainly looks good for 48 years old. But this news makes me feel ancient, because I remember Valerie Bertinelli version 1.0. I’ll try to put this in perspective.

When she married Eddie Van Halen in 1981, it was akin to Giselle Bundchen marrying Tom Brady. Two incredibly famous, beautiful people at the top of their game. Read that again - it is an accurate comparison.

Valerie was arguably the hottest girl on prime TV. Eddie was the best guitarist on the planet in the biggest band in the world. If we had paparazzi back then they would have been at the top of the list.

News that she looked good in a bikini would have been met with yawns. Yes, dudes would have fawned over the pictures, but for entirely different reasons. We didn’t have the interwebs or Maxim back then. The pictures would have been news, but the fact she looked hot would not have been.

Fast forward to 2009. Times have changed and this is relevant news. So yeah, this makes me think of my Sony Betamax, gratz to Valerie for climbing the mountain top again.
