Something Blue

Nicole Ritichie, Hilary Duff, Katy Perry, Megan Fox, Carrie Underwood just got married. Their wedding photos were happily shopped by their publicists to every publication. For me it was Valerie Bertinelli wearing a blue cocktail styled dress on the cover on People Magazine that garnered the most attention. Valerie has endeared herself to many now just for her sweet television roles where she was always the cute girl, victim or do-gooder, not only because she was once married to rocker Eddie Van Halen. I mean how easy could this have been yet we were all rooting for this cute couple. When she was a teen she dated Paul Shafer which seems a little creepy to me.

Oddly it was Jenny Craig who really re-booted this woman's star power. Not only was I oggling over her beautiful wedding dress but I knew what she did to look that great in it. When I showed the picture to my friend Robin she said 'why is she wearing blue?"

It's her second marriage and Valerie, in the eyes of her adoring fans can wear anything. I'll almost bet she'll start a new trend with this choice, maybe even come out with a "second marriage" line of wedding dresses. Hey if America likes it someone in another country will be happy to manufacture it so we can put it on the rack, right? LeeAnn Rimes, Sheri Shepard, Reece Witherspoon and Jessica Simpson might be interested, they are all getting married again this year. But all eyes will be on Kate Middleton who I can assure you will NOT be wearing blue.
