Valerie Bertinelli Balloons to 300 Pounds

“Valerie had really been down in the dumps after packing the pounds back on over the course of the last 12 months,” a pal told The National ENQUIRER. “But her hubby managed to turn that frown upside down when he told her he didn’t care.

Valerie's probelms started in 2012, the 5-foot-2 star’s weight crept up when she began cooking up a storm — and sampling the results — for her cookbook, “One Dish at a Time.”

“Valerie’s Home Cooking,” has wreaked havoc on her weight plans. “In the past, Valerie always felt a lot of pressure to remain model thin,” the source said. “Now, Valerie’s fat — and happy about it!”

Just saw a clip of the Talk where she was on December 6th. She's more like 175 pounds than 300. Hardly worthy of headlines for a basically retired actress. She must have been a Hillary supporter. In Today's America Trump is probably keeping a list and passing it on to National Enquirer/Radar Online. I think both owned by same .

Even as a little girl Valerie was always on the "a few extra pounds" side. Which was OK because it looked good.

But when you have a natural body that is prone to that, you will spend the rest of your life having to avoid anything but what is absolutely essential to live, or you get fat very quickly

Val's dad, Franco Bertinelli, was indeed killed in a mob hit when she was 8 years old.

Remember when Val's sister was murdered by her husband and Val didn't even know about it until they sprayed the place with luminol and the whole room turned blue? She's never been the same since then and she sometimes turns to food for comfort. Bless you Val. Y'all look great in that Judy Garland Get Happy Tuxedo. Val was really pretty when I was a kid.
