Not since The Two Coreys and Paula Abdul were given reality shows have I been excited about anyone else getting one. That was until now because A&E is giving Kirstie Alley her own show according to Variety. The ten 30 minute episodes will follow her struggling to lose weight again and raising her two teens in Hollywood. This show is going to be one hot mess and I can’t wait to watch it all go down when it premieres next year. Kirstie has proven to be such a live wire, that this show has to be entertaining. If Fat Actress was loosely based on her life, imagine how much better the real thing is going to be! And if you have been following Kirstie Alley’s Tweets you know she speaks her mind and doesn’t give a sh!t what anybody thinks of her!
As of now the show doesn’t have a name. Since Fat Actress is taken, I suggest they go with Fatter Actress because well…
Before Kirstie Alley was a Fat Actress running the bar on Cheers, she was an “interior designer” playing Password Plus. Sadly the 29 year old Kirstie did not win any money when she played the game back in 1980. Kirstie wouldn’t be on Cheers for another 7 years, but she looked exactly the same on that show as she did on Password Plus!
BTW the best part of that clip was seeing Lucille Ball!!!
SOW note: As you can tell I am trying to start a new post called Before They Were Famous! I think it is a lot of fun to see celebs before we knew them doing commercials, music videos, TV guest appearances, game show contestants, Soap Operas or bit parts in movies! I am trying my best to find as many of these on my own, but I need your help!!! So if you see them or know of any, can you please E-Mail me at [email protected]!!! I hope they are as fun for you as they are for me!!!
‘Fat Actress’ star Kirstie Alley, has shed the bulge and plans to show off her new trim figure by appearing on the Oprah Winfrey show in a bikini.The actress who shot to fame in the popular series ‘Cheers’ before piling on the pounds went onto use her plump figure to artistic advantage, starring in the ‘Fat Actress’ TV show, which drew inspiration from her real life experiences.The 51-year-old actress, who played Rebecca in the U.S. sitcom, has struggled to control her weight for a number of years in a pattern which has conversely mirrored the highs and lows of her love life.In the aftermath of her divorce from ex-Baywatch actor Parker Stevenson in 1997, which resulted in a custody battle over their two adopted children, William and Lillie, the former cheerleader gained more than two stones and shot from a size 10 to a size 16.But last year Alley, who once tipped the scales at 230 pounds, made her struggle to slim down public as she worked to shrink down to 160 pounds.She is now celebrating after surpassing her goal, weighing in at 145 pounds. But having come this far, Alley is confident she can go even further and reach a taut and toned 135 pounds."I would like to look the best I could," said Alley, who has combined yoga and exercise with healthy eating. "That means kicking myself in the ass and working out constantly."Alley, who followed the ‘Jenny Craig’ diet programme, has appeared, looking svelte and sexy, in a commercial for the company and she now plans to come good on a promise she made on the Oprah Winfrey programme last year to return to the talk show wearing nothing but a bikini.
