Valerie Bertinelli addresses ‘haters’ after paying tribute to ex Eddie Van Halen on anniversary of his death - Entertainment Weekly

Valerie Bertinelli is shrugging off the criticism she received after paying tribute to her late ex-husband, musician Eddie Van Halen. The actor turned celebrity chef acknowledged the sixth anniversary of Van Halen’s death Tuesday by sharing a throwback photo on her social media platforms that showed the pair driving together on a highway. “Photos may fade, like old photos do, but not the memories and never the love,” she wrote in the caption. The snapshot, however, quickly divided Bertinelli’s followers, with some questioning why she’d reflect on Van Halen, who died in 2020 at age 65, so fondly. The couple ― who share a son, Wolfgang ― divorced in 2007 after about 26 years of marriage. “It’s weird you hold on to EDDIE, as if you two were a couple in the end. It’s just weird always talking about him as if he’s your identity …. STOP being that EX,” one person wrote on Instagram. Added another on Facebook: “Still playing the widow.” Later on Tuesday, Bertinelli posted a video on Instagram in which she defended her choice to share the photo and blasted the negative comments she’d received as “coercive control.” “You can’t tell me how I feel.

Marvel Studios’ release of Avengers: Endgame: Encore was a shrewd gambit for a few reasons: It put the studio’s most successful film back in conversation right after the juggernaut success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day; it tided die-hards over with new footage ahead of December’s Avengers: Doomsday; and, perhaps most importantly, it raked in an additional $138 million for the film, reinstating its position as the worldwide box office champion over James Cameron’s Avatar. Cameron, who certainly doesn’t spend his precious time fretting about such matters as lifetime financial grosses and being the best in the world at stuff, recently expressed his congratulations to Marvel for once again overtaking his 2009 sci-fi film. “You are one of the people,” the director wrote (per The Wrap) in a composite image from Avatar, with Iron Man at the center of a welcoming Na’vi tribe. “Congratulations to Marvel and the #1 Avengers: Endgame: Encore for bringing moviegoers to the cinemas! – Jim Cameron.”
