Valerie Bertinelli is unleashing more bombshells about her life to Oprah Winfrey – including her early dating history with ... Steven Spielberg?

Bertinelli, 47, who also admits on the Feb. 25 episode that she and ex-husband Eddie Van Halen cheated on each other, tells Winfrey about her early romance with the Oscar-winning director in the pre-Van Halen days.

"I went up to read for Raiders of the Lost Ark which I was so wrong for," Bertinelli says. "And the next day I got a call and some flowers ... [Spielberg] asked me out. We went out a few times ... And did more."

The Jenny Craig spokeswoman is appearing on the talk show to promote her new tell-all book, Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time. As for why she chose to reveal so much about her life, Bertinelli told Winfrey it was a logical next step.

"I just figured, if they're going to watch me lose 40 lbs. and I'm going to be embarrassed that way, and there's going to be fat-ass pictures of me with my butt hanging out in Hawaii, I thought, 'Why not let the inner me out, too?'" Bertinelli said. "Because the inner me is, I hope, prettier than the outer me."

Okay Valerie,Too much information. . :lol:

It dawned on me that maybe Steven called her for an audition simply to get Valerie there and then give him the opportunity to send her flowers and call her the next day so he can "get closer" to her. :lol:

I mean, she was all wrong for that role, she said so herself.

I can't even imagine those two together. :lol:
