Kirstie Alley got really fat, lost some weight and then got fat again.
In this day and age, that's all it takes to land your own reality show.
Variety confirms the former Cheers star and Jenny Craig spokesperson will anchor a series (literally!!!) that chronicles her struggles with weight loss and being a single parent.
"Kirstie is exactly the kind of star A&E is drawn to," said an executive, without a hint of shame or irony. "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she'll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras."
Real life for the cameras? That seems as oxymoronic as plastic silverware, lucid Lindsay Lohan, humble Jon Gosselin or gentle Chris Brown.

Sources say Alley will launch a weight loss program as the cameras roll; while the aforementioned article notes she'll be:
"Producing a feature film, patenting multiple inventions, working hard to raise two normal Hollywood teenagers, taking care of eight ringtail lemurs and, on top of everything, looking for love."
Wait... she's looking for love? We have two words for Kirstie: Jake Pavelka.

LOL, Jake Pavelka... now that would be funny. This isn't very surprising but not very interesting either. Although you never know maybe she'll have the appeal to people who can relate. Single mother's or overweight people out there.. who knows?

I honestly see this show being a huge hit....She is very intrigueing and real....harsh & blunt...doesn't tolerate bullcrap, and is not afraid to take the bull by the horns....people like to see, especially women, a tough girl making a change for the better, it is inspiring....

Does anyone know why she is so f'd in the head? What turned her from a model into a yenta? Heartbreak? Laziness? Age? Too much money?
