Valerie Bertinelli denies Eddie Van Halen is in rehab. The "One Day At A Time" actress has rebuffed reports that her rocker ex-husband is in a rehabilitation facility, but refused to disclose his condition.

The 47-year-old current Jenny Craig weight-loss program spokesperson says, "The reports about him being in rehab are wrong. Eddie is sober. He's being proactive about his illness."

Valerie Bertinelli says Eddie Van Halen was in denial. According to the "One Day At A Time" actress, her rocker ex-husband refused to acknowledge that his smoking habit had been the cause of his mouth cancer.

In a new interview with Ladies Home Journal magazine, Bertinelli, 47, says that Van Halen blamed his guitar pick over his condition and rejected the fact that he was a smoker that was likely the cause.
