Valerie Bertinelli, the beloved actress and former Food Network star, just pulled off a hilarious and convincing bluff that had her fans doing a double-take. The star took to Instagram on Monday to debut a startling new look: a head of bright blonde hair.
A Blonde Bombshell Reveal
With a playful post captioned "New hair who dis?" Bertinelli initially let her followers believe she had made a dramatic hair colour change. However, she was quick to reveal the truth directly below, clarifying "(it's a wig.)" And it was a remarkably convincing one at that. The "Hot in Cleveland" alum didn't stop there; she further pulled back the curtain on her ruse through an Instagram Story.
The Wig Removal Struggle
In a moment of relatable comedy, Bertinelli filmed herself struggling to remove the blonde hairpiece. "So yes, it's a wig. And I have no idea how to get this off," she confessed to her audience as she wrestled with the prosthetic. The entire amusing ordeal was reportedly undertaken for an upcoming acting role, though specific details remain under wraps for now.
Connecting to Her New Book
Beyond the fun of the wig, Bertinelli is preparing to share more profound insights with her fans. She is expected to reveal deeper layers of her personal journey in her upcoming book, titled "Getting Naked: The Quiet Work Of Becoming Perfectly Imperfect." In a separate Instagram post on the same Monday, the star, wearing her traditional brunette colour, announced she was turning in her edits.
She shared a snippet from the book, reciting a journal entry about dealing with adversity. "Accepting negative experiences can be a positive experience," she wrote, citing the "Backwards Law" of writer and philosopher Alan Watts. This philosophy aligns perfectly with her lighthearted approach to the wig's removal struggle, showing a practice of embracing life's imperfect moments.
Fans can currently catch Valerie Bertinelli hosting "Bingo Blitz" on the Game Show Network, proving her versatile career continues to entertain audiences in new and unexpected ways.
