Kirstie Alley Is Still Fat, But She Has a New TV Show, And We Cannot Wait
Was anyone else devastated when Showtime canceled Fat Actress? And so is anyone else beyond elated to know Kirstie Alley returns to television March 21 on A&E’s Big Life?
We’re not sure what it is about Kirstie that so captivates us. She’s not a gay icon. Her Scientology beliefs probably don’t make her the biggest LGBT equality advocate. And yet, there’s a voice inside us screaming, This is you. Yes, it’s our inner fat girl, and Kirstie’s struggles are our struggles.
It’s nothing new, really. On Fat Actress, she played a fictionalize version of herself. On her regular Oprah appearances — including the one just a couple weeks ago, embedded below — she plays herself. And the way the fired Jenny Craig spokeswoman is so candid about her fitness battles, well, we respect that sort of transparency.
And if you need an obvious gay factor, there’s Kyle, the assistant. And the fact that her life is a circus.
Don’t hate us, but we’re anticipating Big Life‘s premiere more than Betty White on SNL. But shhhh!
You know she’s a Scientologist, right? You know, the anti-gay group that says all ills can be fixed without medicine or psychiatry, though apparently they’re powerless in the face of fat.
For somebody complaining that her weight gain has hindered her job she certainly seems to be making a career out of being fat. This is her second show focusing on that. And the first one was not great.
Not a gay icon? What about “Veronica’s Closet”? If that didn’t make her a gay icon, I don’t know what else will.
She’s a hot mess, but I kind of like her. From what I hear about her around town, and I’ve seen her around a few times, I don’t think she’s all that caught up in Scientology, but who knows. Anyway, Scientology is another hot mess, as we all know. It’s been having some problems, too.
Kind of a shame. I’ve seen her in old movies and she was hot without the mess then. It must be hard for her to see herself in those pictures the way she looked then. I’ve seen the promos for this series. LOL Looks like a real train wreck. You know, so awful you can’t take your eyes off it. LMAO
BTW, Kirstie, if you’re lurking, you CAN do it. You just have to do what glamor girls have been doing since Cleopatra, cut the carbs, have a small portion of meat protein every day, and eat a vegetable or two. Also, FIBER, FIBER, FIBER. And every time you start to pick up a piece of candy or pizza, visualize the girl you used to be, you know, the one who didn’t pig out all the time. Put that girl’s brain back in your head, and kick the fat girl’s brain out the back door (you should pardon the expression.) Instead of sitting around feeling sorry for yourself (trust me, everybody’s got fucking problems), put on a happy face and start getting some cardio by hitting Melrose or wherever to start window shopping for your new, thin girl, way too young for you, but who gives a fuck, clothes.
She is VERY involved with Scientology. She is a spokesman for the occasionally fatal Narconon drug rehab program, and their anti-psych CCHR. She regularly solicits people for Scientology on her Twitter, recommending the Purification Rundown at the Celeb Center. She defends Scientology by calling critics bigots and trolls. Despite her religion’s “low on the tone scale” and “quietly and without sorrow.” And the product she’s selling (this show is one big infomercial) has Scientology all through it.
Here is somebody who actually tried to get to the bottom of it with Kirsite,

can’t get past the scientology part… they are evil.
If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Kirstie even deny that her assistant was gay?
This is just yuck, guys. L Ron was really anti-gay, and his son Quentin’s suicide is a miserably sad story. There is nothing titillating about this walking billboard for Sci.
fat actress the tv show was funny funny.
*yawn*
This sounds like the reality show she had a few years ago that totally flopped. That wasn’t funny, and I doubt this will be either. Plus, I have a heard time taking Scientologists seriously.
Kristie is hilarious.
I too have mixed feelings about Ms. Alley–I think she’s funny and fabulous, on the one hand, but on the other hand her self-loathing pains me. Then there’s the whole Scientology thing which, yes, she is heavily involved with.
I’d like to know the source for her claiming her assistant isn’t gay, as he’s 100% out.
Whatever about the scientology thing. My problem is that this woman has a DIET PROGRAM (expensive and cult-like though it may be) but she’s STILL FAT. Are people really going to buy a diet program from a fat chick??? I’m a fat chick and I”m going where the skinny is – not spend a fortune to stay fat!!
