May 3, 2001 - The latest news in the world of Van Halen...
Valerie on Regis and Kelly
Valerie Bertinelli appeared on ABC's Live with Regis and Kelly yesterday
morning and gave more details about Edward's press release from last week. Below
is a transcript of the portion of the interview relating to Edward's health:
Regis: How's Eddie doing?
Valerie: He's doing great, thank you.
Regis: So, he just came out to the press...
Valerie: I've been living with this for over
a year. He thought he was putting this press statement out about
his cancer to squash all the rumours. He's not dying, he's quite fine and everything,
and it seemed to stir up a lot of stuff. But he's really doing well, in fact I'm going
back to work - I wouldn't go back to work if my husband was sick.
Regis: Fine. So he's [in] total remission?
Valerie: Well, not even remission. The lesion
was removed and his prognosis gets better and better and better.
Kelly: And it was on his tongue?
Valerie: Yeah. We have very morbid humor in
our house. (laughs) So whenever he gets smart with me I say "I'll cut more of
that tongue out". (laughter) He doesn't get smart with me any more.
Regis: And how's Wolfie?
Valerie: He so badly wanted to come when I
did "Millionaire". He wanted to meet you, but every time I'm here it's in the
middle of the week and he can't come.

Dec 31, 2000 - 2000: The Year In Review
2000 has come and gone, and I don't have to tell you that it was probably
the most frustrating year ever in the life of Van Halen fans. "No news is
good news" got old real fast.
