People in the news Taking life one day at a time LOS ANGELES (AP) The nine-year marriage of actress Valerie Bertinelli and rock star Eddie Van Halen is on the rocks, she says. Literally, that is. The 30-year-old Bertinelli, who returns to series television March 21 with the lead role in the the CBS comedy “Sydney,” said Van Halen is working overtime to overcome alcoholism problems. The couple are taking his recovery one day at a time. “He doesn’t abuse me,” she told Redbook magazine in its April edition. “He’s got a problem I’m not happy with, but I bring stability to his life. “And besides, I love him. It’s my weakness,” the former star of the comedy “Onhe Day at a Time” said. “Some people are addicted to food. I’m addicted to my husband.” Van Halen, 33, checked into a drug and alcohol treatment program in Burbank, Calf., Jan. 1. Bertinelli says she gets support from the families of other substance abusers at Al-Anon meetings. • ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) Soviet emigre comedian Yakoff Smirnoff is out to prove you can go home again and get some laughs while doing so. Following performances at Trump Plaza this weekend, he intends to return to the Soviet Union for what he calls a “a funny look at glasnost.” “I talk to the audience during my daily shows,” Smirnoff said, “and they often ask, ‘What is Russia all about?”’ He hopes his journey to Moscow and his hometown, Odessa, will provide some humorous answers. His timing, comedic or otherwise, could not be better. The Soviet version of April Fool’s Day is National Humor Day. Smirnoff will be in Odessa for this April 1 event that features “parades without missiles.” When he returns from the Soviet Union, Smirnoff and the Showtime cable network will condense film of the trip into a program to air in the fall. He also will hit the college circuit with an act titled “Glasnost 101." • NEW YORK (AP) Joan Quigley, the astrologer whose advice to first lady Nancy Reagan reportedly set the president’s schedule, says she’s finished with the Reagans. “When you’re that friendly with someone and they just cut you off... it borders on the incredible,” Quigley said in an interview in Fame magazine’s April issue. The title of Quigley’s new book, “What Does Joan Say?” is what Ronald Reagan is said to have asked his wife after her telephone consultations with the astrologer during the Reagans’ White House years. The disclosure that Mrs. Reagan consulted an astrologer made the Reagan White House the butt of jokes. Why did Quigley write the autobiography and blast her former clients? “I felt I had played an important role in the administration,” she said. “I had to stand up for reputable astrologers.”

VALERIE BERTINELLI Addicted to husband

NEW YORK (AP) Film critic Gene Siskel will review movies and videos on “CBS This Morning” starting Friday. The network said Tuesday that Siskel, who will continue appearing with fellow critic Roger Ebert in their syndicated “Siskel and Ebert” program, will appear twice a week, reviewing films on Wednesdays and videos on Fridays. Siskel, a film critic at CBS-owned WBBM-TV in Chicago and a syndicated columnist, has been nominated three times for an Emmy Award. • NEW YORK (AP) a divorce from her billionaire husband, Donald, says gossip columnist Liz Smith. “I never intend to file for divorce,” Smith, columnist for the Daily News and a commentator on WNBC-TV, quoted Mrs. Trump as paying. “I want to keep my family together. I want to keep the father with his children. I am a Catholic and feel strongly about this.” Donald Trump left his wife last month, inspiring a frenzy of reports about the division of their assets and about the purported other woman, Marla Maples. • TOKYO (AP) Former Beatle Paul McCartney, who Wednesday closed out his first tour of Japan in 24 years, has donated $250,000 to fight cancer and help clean up the Earth. Half of the funds will go to the Memorial SloanKettering Cancer Center in New York and the other half to the Japanese chapter of the environmental group Friends of the Earth. “As we all know, cancer causes great suffering, and I have great respect for all those who try to lessen the pain as best they can,” McCartney said in a statement. “I also have hope that one day science and medicine will find a way to beat cancer forever.” The 47-year-old rock ’n’ roller has been using his world tour, which began in Oslo in September, as a platform to promote the activities of Friends of the Earth. “When I was a boy, I would never have believed it if someone had told me that one day we’d have a hole in the sky in the ozone layer that there would be acid in our rain, that the seas wouldn’t be clean enough to swim in and the air not fit enough to breathe,” McCartney said. “All I am trying to do on this world tour is to hopefully make people think about how we’re .wrecking this world and ask them to challenge their politicians to act,” he said.
