Valerie Bertinelli Opens Up About Secret Steven Spielberg Romance  2/24/08

Eddie Van Halen's ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli once romanced movie mogul Steven Spielberg.

In an upcoming interview with U.S. talk show host Oprah Winfrey, the beloved TV star-turned-weight loss spokeswoman opens up about dating the director.

Bertinelli reveals Spielberg asked her out after she auditioned for his blockbuster Raiders of The Lost Ark.

She says, "I was so wrong for (the role) and the next day I got a call and some flowers... (Spielberg) asked me out. We went out a few times."

The actress and Jenny Craig spokeswoman even suggests the romance was more than dinner and flowers, telling Winfrey, "(We) did more."

But the romance didn't last - Bertinelli fell for Van Halen and Spielberg wed actress Amy Irving. He has since divorced and is now married to Kate Capshaw.

In the interview, which airs on Oprah on Monday (25Feb08), Bertinelli, who is promoting new autobiography Losing It... And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At A Time, also speaks out about cheating on her ex-husband and a lusty lesbian moment, when she kissed another woman.
