Book exposes Spielberg's affair.

Valerie Bertinelli's new book, "Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time" (Free Press) chronicles much more than just the actress's battle to lose weight. In her new autobiography, the onetime One Day at a Time star gives candid accounts of her shaky marriage with rocker Eddie Van Halen and a long-ago romance with director extraordinaire Steven Spielberg.

In the book, Bertinelli, who has a son, Wolfgang, 17, with ex-husband Van Halen, revealed that she met Spielberg when she read for a part in his Raiders of the Lost Ark more than two decades ago. She didn't get the part, but she did get the man. The next day, Spielberg sent flowers and a short-lived romance blossomed. She met Van Halen shortly thereafter and married him in 1981. The couple divorced in 2007.

Another tidbit exposed in "Losing It" is the fact that she and Van Halen cheated on each other during their marriage. Bertinelli's been quoted as saying that their son, Wolfgang, won't be reading the book anytime soon.
