Seventies child star Valerie Bertinelli celebrated the return of her TV Land comedy, Hot in Cleveland, by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before the Cleveland Indians faceoff against the Pittsburgh Pirates in an interleague baseball game in Cleveland on Friday.
They’ve already got the Senior Center in stitches thanks to Octogenarian Angel Betty White. Now TV Land’s ratings winning sitcom, Hot In Cleveland, is getting a dose of star power from the Tween Scene: Womanzing boy bander Joe Jonas has landed a guest spot on the popular series.

Valerie Bertinelli — whose small screen credits include turns on TV’s One Day at a Time and Touched By An Angel — returns to the tube tonight, appearing alongside Wendie Malick and Betty White in the new TV Land Original Series, Hot In Cleveland.
As part of her promo tour, Bertinelli’s spilling the beans on a brief 2004 encounter with pop powerhouse Christina Aguilera that left the former child star shrugging her shoulders.
“I met her and she was so mean to me. I thought you know what, forget you. She’s too young to be blowing people off. She went to a Van Halen show and I went to go say hi to her. My son was up there, and she’s like, ‘Yeah, okay, bye.’ As I walked away I said to my friend, ‘Did I just get dissed by Christina Aguilera?’ and she said ‘I think you did!’”
Valerie Bertinelli is engaged! The former One Day at a Time star, now 50, and her boyfriend of nearly six years — Tom Vitale — will be married in a ceremony set for later this year.
