A&E Gives Kirstie Alley A Show


Kirstie Alley is going to get paycheck and it is going to involve us sitting through 10 weeks of her whining next year. Yes, Fat Actress was a decent show, but the premise of the entire ten week run of Kirstie's new show is to follow her around while she loses weight on a program she invented and is trying to patent. To me that sounds like an infomercial and something she should be paying for and not getting a check to promote. Oh wait. Make that multiple patents for several inventions.

"Kirstie is exactly the kind of star A&E is drawn to," said A&E nonfiction/alternative programming senior VP Robert Sharenow. "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."

Uh huh. Let me know when she hooks everyone up to an e-meter and then I will believe it is her real life. I don't have a problem with Kirstie Alley getting a reality show. I do have a problem with her trying to sell whatever it is she is going to be doing while using a reality show as cover for it.

Plus, judging by the picture Variety used (above) it looks like she already lost the weight which means all of this has already been shot and all she needs to do now is sell, sell sell.
