Come on Northern Girl...
It brings you next to Dave on stage. So it's still pretty cool. And you can be as fat as you want! Van Halen is your last name........

[Northern Girl]

After reading this book, I'd say it's more embarrassing than cool.

It's just another link in the chain of celebrities being famous for their non-professional fuckups than anything to do with their talents.

The sad part is most celebrities these days actually contribute to this cycle, perhaps figuring negative attention is better than no attention at all.

Fuck Eddie Van Halen's melodramatic ex-wife!!!

That's because most celebs today don't have anything worth while to give positive attention to.

"I bombed on Letterman. I barely smiled. Nervous and insecure, I kept turning away from Dave, who winced at several of my comments, making me even more uncomfortable. He also acknowledge my brief relationship with bandleader Paul Shaffer, pointing out that I'd been sixteen when I dated the then twenty-seven-year-old musician actor. 'We were just good friends,' said Paul, who looked as awkward as I felt at rehashing those days. Instead of leaving it alone. I tried to get a laugh by saying he dumped me when his girlfriend called.

I just wanted to get out of there. Dave must have felt the same way, since he's never had me back on the show."


This was two months after she cheated on Ed BTW. (She never told him about it until the blackmail thing hit the fan).

Just wanted to hear her slant on it, that's all.

So how many years pass from her cheating to her telling him?

Damn.





She's a liar. To hell with her book.

From 1986 to 1994.


I think the two deserved each other. Fuck 'em both. :D

Funny thing I never mentioned before: I think Val believed that us fans never knew how bad Ed was. During a show where everyone was chanting for Ed, she says to her boyfriend "if they only knew." And another time in the book when Ed was seeing the alternative gurus for his cancer, there was a bunch of fans online believing his sucking on the metal pick theory (at the Links, I'm sure) and totaling buying into it. She said Ed's fans would believe he could turn water into wine if he said so. LOL. Too funny.

I was pretty surprised to hear that he apparently was never sober. I thought there were some sober years, but NO! I didn't pay much attention after Dave left the band, so I was a bit naive about that.

Of course, I believed they were a happy couple too. LOL

LMAO. The links? I know people like that but I was never one of them. Experience taught me Ed was lying about sobriety all along.

Yeah, it's a tough one to jump, (pun) but once you do, you have to let go of that animosity luggage - like the kind he was carrying around with him regarding Dave in '96.

The last time I saw VH was with an old drummer from my first band-
we drove from Cincy to Indy- it was '91. Deer Creek, an outrdoor thing.

It was sickening, the difference.
But the sheep never noticed.

Those are he same fans that think Ed is always honest and it's always the other guy's fault.


But yeah, you're right they deserved each other.

It worked out for her. It was a much longer relationship than what
she was OBVIOUSLY really after-
Dave.

It got her back in the spotlight when there was noone really looking for her.

Yeah, exactly. What? The record company was "putting pressure" on Ed? Really? Did they want an album released or something? Or were they only offering $57 million instead of $60?

Yeah, I've started a couple of threads about what pricks WB were to keep pushing those guys into the Diver Down era after "(Oh) Pretty Woman" caught on. But whatever. Ed had his nose candy, slutty wife, girls on the side, and a pond of booze to keep him happy...

And most people here mock Bono because he knows how fucking great he has it and feels a bit guilty, so he tries to give something back. At least he doesn't shit himself while wallowing in shallow, narcisstic self-pity...

Like the Lohans and Hiltons of the world, acting "shocked" that people took pictures of their boxes because they were trolling Hollywood panty-less in micro-minis spreading their legs every two seconds "accidentally"....:D

Reminds me of something my former editor (yeah, one of the zillion things I've done was work for a fairly well-known industry rag...no, not RS) told me:

"There is NO such thing as "bad" press. As the saying goes, "Ink am ink"...even if they're talking SHIT about you, they're still talking about YOU."


Sad but true...

I"d still go diving on her!!!

Sometimes you want to dump you jizz all over the biggest bitch. Exactly, I would fuck Val rough and hard and treat her like the biggest tramp. Sound fun to me! :D

The Van Hagar fans believed in Ed but the Roth fans here knew since 1985 what a fuck Ed was. LOL!
