NEW YORK — Kirstie Alley (search) has pulled a switch-a-roo on the tabloids. After many photographs splashed in different celebrity magazines documented her noticeable weight gain, the former "Cheers" (search) actress is going on the offensive. With her new Showtime show, "Fat Actress," (search) to begin filming this fall, Alley is by no means shirking the attention to her weight problem. But that's not to say she's happy with her appearance. Alley told People magazine: "The weird thing is, I don't like the way I look — and I like who I am. I like who I am better than I've ever liked myself." The 53-year-old actress says that her weight is 203 pounds, not the frequently cited 300 pounds. Still, she completely accepts responsibility for her situation. "I don't consider fat a disease. I mean, c'mon, who had the (expletive) gun to my head? Nobody! What gene in my body says I have to eat four cakes instead of two? It's a choice." Alley can't stand the media's or Hollywood's perspective on weight. "My weight in the rags in being treated like a tragedy," she said. "Tragedies in my mind would be like AIDS, starvation, illiteracy, child abuse."

yum.. Two hot dishes at the same table...(grin!)
..she looks OK.. :))
I'd hit it.
I like John Edwards wife's approach. They told her to lose weight and she just told them to get used to it.
With or without a harpoon?
Kidding, I would too.
She lives a very lavish, even by Hollywood standards, lifestyle. Her desire to throw "world class parties" twice a month was the primary reason cited by her ex husband in their divorce, which the "smoking gun" website details. Its also why she had to do the commercials for Pier One, she was out of cash due to the lifestyle, from what I've heard.
Personally, I haven't seen her in anything since her Wrath of Khan day's that impressed me.
Parts is parts.
I see nothing wrong at all. I LIKE women with a some meat on them. Women like Uma Thurman and Halle Berry are just too skinny for my taste.
Stupid Hollywood/media and their rail-thin woman complex. Busty women rule.
I lived right off Montana Street in Santa Monica in 1992 - 1994. Ms. Alley frequently dined at a favorite Italian spot just a few blocks from my home. At that time she was charming and beautiful and delighted the locals by bringing her new baby to the eatery. Also, she is quite tall, over six feet, as I recall. Whatever . . . Very down to earth for a Hollywood A-list type.
That's one damn sexy woman. Ooooh, thoes eyes.
She's a Scientology wacko.
I like her a LOT, even if she is a Heifer On The Hoof.
She's cherubically SEXY.
I could convert her to Lazamatazics.
That's one damn WEIRD woman though...
