Van Halen, Bertinelli in the Books

Eddie Van Halen has officially gone solo. At least in the relationship department.

A Los Angeles judge has signed off on the divorce between the guitar god and TV fixture Valerie Bertinelli, ending a quarter-century of matrimony.

The judgment was entered Thursday. The former One Day at a Time player filed for divorce in December 2005, even though the couple officially separated four years earlier.

She cited the usual irreconcilable differences for the split, which her publicist described as amicable.

According to court papers, the ex-couple, who wed in 1981, has already divvied up their assets.

There was no word on custody arrangements for their 16-year-old son, Wolfgang. The teen has been living with his mother since the split, but of late has been on the road touring with dad's revamped Van Halen.

Bertinelli, 47, has morphed from child star to TV-movie queen to Jennie Craig pitchwoman. In July she announced she was writing a memoir,  Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time, slated for release in April.

"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," she said.

Van Halen, 52, has managed to get his career back on track after being sidelined for oral cancer in 2000 and then rehab earlier this year.

His eponymous band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last March and has since embarked on a hugely successful reunion tour with original frontman David Lee Roth, brother Alex on drums and Wolfgang on bass.

The band, which is up for a People's Choice Award next month for Favorite Reunion Tour, recently extended the road show into 2008.
