I found an old tape with Jay Leno monologues on it. One of them mentioned Valerie Bertinelli.

Jay: "This week, Valerie Bertinelli told Rosie O'Donnell that she has had a crush on 60 Minutes reporter Mike Wallace for over 20 years. Then Anna Nicole Smith said, 'I saw him first'." (Obviously, that was pre-2007. I think this was 2004 or 2005.)

I can't picture someone like Val having a thing for Mike Wallace, but I find it very amusing. :lol:

Wow! He's really an "older man" to have a crush on.

According to the imdb, Mike Wallace was born 5/9/1918 and Valerie Bertinelli was born 4/23/1960. That's almost 42 years difference!!! :eek:

Old enough to be her grandfather.

I stand corrected - it was the Ellen show, not Rosie O'Donnell. I found this synopsis on TV.com:

56. Bernie Mac/Valerie Bertinelli (edit)
First aired: 11/24/2003 Production Code: 1.56
Bernie Mac stops by to chat with Ellen about his show The Bernie Mac Show. They also chat about late John Ritter who co-starred in one of Bernie's latest films Bad Santa. Actress Valerie Bertinelli tells Ellen about her crush on 60 Minutes anchor Mike Wallace and Ellen suprises her with a gift to help her dream of him.

Actually, Mike would probably be an oasis of stability compared to Eddie Van Halen!! :lol:

What do YOU think about this, Mike (aka Blair's #1 Fan)?? :rofl:

Well, If Valerie can have a crush on Mike Wallace who is more than 40 years her senior, than the 13 year age difference between Lisa Whelchel and I isn't that big a deal. :D :lol: ;)
