Bertinelli composing memoir of weight battle
Valerie Bertinelli, whose life spans the different worlds of television and rock ‘n' roll, is working on a memoir.

“Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time,” which also documents her fight to lose weight, will be published in April 2008 by the Free Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

“Writing a book is an exciting new adventure for me,” Bertinelli said in a statement issued Tuesday by the Free Press.

“I've grown up in and out of the public eye, survived some tough times, learned some important lessons, and come out - as has my entire family - in a great place. I think it's a recipe for a good book. Ironically, as there's less of me, I have more to say.”

‘Diddy' Combs announces pending split

Just months after his longtime girlfriend gave birth to twin girls, Sean “Diddy” Combs announced Tuesday that the pair have split up.

A publicist for the 37-year-old rap mogul confirmed that he and model Kim Porter were no longer together. On Dec. 21, Porter gave birth to daughters D'Lila Star and Jessie James; the couple also have a son together.

The move comes a few months after the two publicly proclaimed their love for one another in a cover story for Essence magazine, which detailed their turbulent history: They already had a son, Christian, when Combs began his high-profile romance with Jennifer Lopez. That romance ended in 2001.

In the December article, Porter said Combs simply fell for a “big booty and a smile” and she knew he would be back. Though she took him to court to increase her child support payments in 2002, Combs eventually reunited with her.

Tori Spelling ordained as mail-order reverend

Tori Spelling is now available for weddings.

“Yep, that's right. ... Reverend Tori Spelling! I did it last week online and my official certificate is in the mail. I'm so proud,” the 34-year-old actress said in a posting Monday on the MySpace.com site she shares with her husband, Dean McDermott.

Spelling officiated at a same-sex union last weekend at Chateau La Rue, the bed-and-breakfast that she and McDermott run in Fallbrook, Calif., on their Oxygen network unscripted series, “Tori & Dean: Inn Love,” her spokeswoman, Meghan Prophet, said Tuesday.

“I was so honored when the couple asked me to officiate. We did it on the front steps of the Chateau as 40 of their friends looked on seated in a loungelike atmosphere,” Spelling wrote.
