Ed selling his beach house?

**Brett** · 03.04.02, 10:18 AM

I would put this in the Rumor Mill, but it ain't really a rumor. My mother-in-law is a teacher at a private school in Malibu. They have a lot of celebrities who send their children there. Anyways apprently, Valerie Bertinelli's brother (I think she said his name was Drew) and his wife have a child in my mother-in-law's class, and they live in a beach house in Malibu. She knows the woman rather well. Of course my mother-in-law who is very cool and knows what a VH nut I am has never mentioned this out of embarrassment probably.

Well guess who owns the house? Yep, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Van Halen.

Of course questions arose to me with all those Sherman rumors of Ed and Val divorcing. While they were said to be untrue later, this does bring up a question. Why are they kicking Val's brother out of the house? Is it maybe because Ed and Val are selling off their homes to split cash? JUST SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT. I really have no idea, just thought I'd pass along some info.

The divorce rumours were started at vhvault.com by someone called ktuluscaller, and someone also mentioned it at vhml. The stuff posted here by Hal Apeno didn't say anything about divorce as far as I remember (including all the stuff which was later erased). And what does Sherman have to do with anything?

....however, I did hear (again) over the weekend that Eddie is very much into litigation right now. Not sure who/what it has to do with though.

Interesting information. No wonder Ed keeps quiet these days. All the news is bad news.

**Brett** · 03.04.02, 10:34 AM

Very simple.

Hal Apeno = Sherman

I wouldn't pay to much attention to it, right now it seems as if Eddie is taking care of his money, maybe the split with WB means they won't be recieving royalties, so they are not spending money they won't be recieving.
That is why they said good bye to Scotty Ross, until they make a new move I guess?
Maybe when they are ready to produce a new album a new tour, take out the old catalog through their own company (or another one), they'll be winnig money again.
Val in her interview said clearly that she wanted to stay home with his son and husband, that Wolfie missed her and that he adored his father, so she couldn't be in Utah anymore, she wants to be with her familiy.
THAT IS MY POINT OF VIEW, WE'LL SEE.... [img]smile.gif[/img]

if ed and val were splitting up it would be all over tv, and i did not see or hear anything about that.

**Yerfdog** · 03.04.02, 11:14 AM

Could they be gathering capital/liquid assets to create a label ?

Still, Shermapeno didn't mention divorce.

This is highly unlikely.

I don't like speculating about divorces. Coming from a "broken home" I know how much it sucks.

But how many "Hollywood couples" stay married??

**CroatianPride** · 03.04.02, 11:38 AM

There have always been divorce rumors around Ed and Val since the very beginning. What's it been like 20 years and they are still together?

If they needed a loan to start up a company, they wouldn't have to sell their property.

If this is true, and they had to suddenly oust a relative from a property they owned... that ain't good.

Somebody needs the money right away, I'd guess... interesting... I mean, who wouldn't want to keep a Malibu Beach house? Hmmmmmmmmm....

**DLR'sCock** · 03.04.02, 11:51 AM

People sell property and even move all of the time for a variety of reason whether it be 10 miles away or 10,000...don't read into this too much...

**TrapZZ** · 03.04.02, 12:35 PM

man, as much as I hate the silence from van-halen, I would hate to hear Ed and Val were having trouble - either financially or with their relationship, they are one of the few Hollywood couples that actually seem to care about family

**Canyon Carver** · 03.04.02, 01:26 PM

Think about it, there are many reasons why VH would sell a house, only one of them being that they are splitting up.
They could very well be raising money to invest in a new business, or maybe VH ran out of cash with cancer treatment, and other issues, or he's got taxes to pay...
Don't you guys read too much into this.
