Valerie Bertinelli: Bikini-Clad At 48
By Wyatt Earp | March 26, 2009
Hubba freakin' hubba!
Wow, it’s like all of the 40-somethings got together and decided to shed their clothes in public. As a red-blooded American male, all I can say is, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Lately, it seems like all the media does is scrutinize the weight of Hollywood stars — females in particular. If Jessica Simpson is photographed wearing an unflattering pair of high-waisted jeans, she’s fat. If Beyonce Knowles dons a Thierry Mugler gown that accentuates her curvy physique, she’s also fat. This concerns me. If gorgeous women like Jessica and Beyonce are “fat,” what does that mean for the rest of us?
Fortunately, a celebrity story pertaining to weight loss came out today that I can get excited about! At age 48, Valerie Bertinelli has gotten her bikini bod back — and she’s showing it off on the latest cover of People magazine. Of course, it wasn’t easy achieving her newly fit physique. In April 2007, the former “One Day at a Time Star” proclaimed, “I’m fat.” She was 5′2″ tall, weighed 172 pounds, and vowed to drop from a size 14 to a size 8. Almost two years later, the actress is in the best shape of her life after losing more than 40 pounds thanks to exercise and her Jenny Craig diet.
While unveiling Bertinelli’s cover on the “Today” show this morning, People magazine’s Galina Espinoza noted that Valerie, who hadn’t been in a bikini in 30 years, aims to inspire women with her new look and let them know it’s never too late to get your body back. “With a little bit of motivation and a lot of hard work, anyone can do this.” (H/T - !)
Really? Wow, I thought I would never be able to get back into my bikini, but thanks to Valerie, I am motivated to fit into my thong again.
Now where can I go to get my bikini zone waxed?

…but thanks to Valerie, I am motivated to fit into my thong again.
And thus, ladies and gentlemen, we have a negative side effect of Valerie Bertinelli’s inspiring example.
To quote Glenn Beck, you sick, twisted freak!

I really did not know what to think when I saw the post title.
She looks pretty good for 40+. My guess would be surgery somewhere.

She looks awesome, good for her.

If People runs a picture of you in your bikini, we’ll consider that the last issue it prints.

You really do not want to know (and we don’t want to see the result even if you are iodiotic enough to try it!)

If I was not an English gentleman I might suggest air brushing or photshop. But since I am an English gentleman I shall desist.

The look in her eye is telling Ed to eat his heart out.
Hey man, not bad at all for 48. I like the cougars.
