Demi Moore isn't the only 40-something baring her bod on magazine covers!

Demi Moore, 46, is supposed to be the only female celebrity brave enough - or perhaps even capable of - posing for the cover of a national magazine in a bikini at her, ahem, advanced age.

Well move over Demi, because Valerie Bertinelli is showing her bikini bod at check-out aisles across the country.

And her 49th birthday is right around the corner.

FULL REPORT: Go to People.com to find out how she keeps the pounds off.

The former "One Day at a Time" star bares (almost) in this week's People Magazine, two years after she says she tipped the scales at 172 pounds.

The Jenny Craig spokeswoman says she last wore a bikini when she was 20 years old, and thought to herself, "If I'm so afraid of a bikini, there's something wrong. And so I had to get back into one!"

The svelte star now weighs in at a minuscule 123 pounds, but still thinks to herself, "I'm just one jalapeno popper away from being 40 pounds heavier again."

True dat.

The new issue of People Magazine goes on sale March 27.
