Quick Takes: Eddie Van Halen, ‘Pam & Tommy’, Dave Grohl

Valerie Bertinelli writes at length about her former husband, the late-Eddie Van Halen, in her new memoir, Enough Already: Learning To Love The Way I Am Today. People magazine has published excerpts from the book, in which the One Day At A Time star wrote, "I can't explain the feelings Ed and I had for each other. Who really knows had he not died. I doubt it. I loved him more than I know how to explain and there's nothing sexual about it. It was more than that. And Ed and I understood that."
- Bertinelli wrote that she, their son Wolfgang, Eddie's wife Janie Liszewski, and his brother, Alex Van Halen, were with Eddie every day at the hospital in the weeks before his death. She revealed: "'I love you' are the last words Ed says to Wolfie and me and they are the last words we say to him before he stops breathing." (People)
