Eddie Van Halen Weds Again and It’s Not Valerie!

The master of the guitar riffs that make you say “huh?” got married this weekend and it wasn’t Valerie, who looks great these days!  She’s my age is on TV in a bikini!  You go girl!!

Yes. I am one of those people who always hoped that Valerie and Eddie would patch things up because their just so damned cute, but apparently they’re pretty happy so I won’t stand in their way!

Instead, Eddie married his girlfriend of 3 years and her name is Janie Liszewski.  She is 39 years old and she’s very pretty…looks a little like a young Valerie…I dunno.  Janie had her 15 year old Pomeranian, Kano walk her down the aisle so she cannot be all that bad!  Anyone who includes their dog in their wedding is a-okay in my book!

They married in a casual affair at Eddie’s home and, get this…I love this…they had a totally non-alcoholic reception!  You go, Man!!  And, Valerie was at the wedding so that’s pretty cool too!  The bride dressed up and Eddie and Wolfgang dressed nice and casual including flip-flops.  Not just Eddie but Janie wore them too!  I think that’s cool!  I got married bare-foot…<shrug>.  And Alex, a non-denominational minister, performed the ceremony!  Very cool!

Anyway…
In this day and age where we seem to idolize drug-addicts who live beyond their means but are given free passes because they have talent, it is so refreshing to hear someone “out there in Hollywood-land” not getting through the day in a drug-induced haze…and HAPPY!

Kendra Wilkenson also married her boyfriend, Hank Baskett at the Playboy Mansion this Saturday.  Obviously, there was nothing casual about this affair and being that it’s almost 5 a.m. in NJ on Sunday morning, I’d bet that they’re still partying at the Mansion!!  Kendra’s not partying though.  She’s having Hank’s baby on Christmas Day!  How exciting, huh?  She’s alright.  I only follow her because of “The Girl’s Next Door” and because I like to watch someone who’s slightly more obnoxious than myself. <ha-ha>

I’ve never totally understood the need for humans to legitimize their love.  I did it too…couldn’t wait to get married and wasn’t going to stand for us living together forever.  It’s very strange but that’s the way we’re built I guess.  I would say that it’s a society-related thing but even Aborigines have ceremonies to mark a union.  Weird.  John and I felt married the second we met.  Married by God and then later stamped with New Jersey’s seal of approval…

So…
Congratulations to the happy couples! 
Let’s get out there and do our best to stay together, huh?
