Alley Goes on Offensive About Weight (Kirsttie Alley's un PC comments on Fat)
Foxnews.com ^

Posted on 08/02/2004 10:01:54 AM PDT by Conservomax

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."

I also like women who are skinny.

Mostly, I like them when they are breathing.

Mostly.

At least she's not making a bunch of excuses, like Edward's hog, I mean, wife.

The funny thing is if you click the link over to the Foxnews article there is a picture of her. There is a note that says click to enlarge. If she got large simply by clicking, you'd think she could ensmall just by clicking.

She's a larda$$ and no longer even close to attractive. But, if she's OK with it, fine with me...Plenty of non-pigs in hollywood to ogle.

Her attitude about it is cool though. Whatever makes her happy is all that really matters in the end.

That's one damn WEIRD woman though...

That's just part of her charm. She's a little offbeat.

I used to go to that church, but bugged out when the minister introduced the Crisco and the shetland pony to the ceremony.

Okay, I went to the FNC link and want to warn you there is a photo of Alley with the directive 'click to enlarge.' Umm...not sure that's a good idea.

Well, everyone "in the know" has left the Lazamtazics and are now practicing an advanced form of Skoozology.

Skoozoids tend to more placid but far more dangerous than Lazamtazics.
