Kirstie Alley's 'Fat Actress' Hits Sore Spot

John Goodman has hit the skids, career-wise. I never did understand the appeal of Brando, regardless of weight.

A wise man once said:

No woman will ever be the equal of a man until she can catch her reflection in a plate glass window and, seeing a paunchy, balding, wrinkled reflection of herself, think

Damn, I'm lookin' good.

"A show that seems to be set up to make fun of fat people or to describe how miserable their lives are, is not sending a good message, and it's not the right message," laments National Organization for Women president Kim Gandy.

"If the idea is that fat equals desperate," says Gandy, "then that's not going to be good for any of us, and certainly not for people who are overweight, healthy or not."

Gandy, as usual, soooo doesn'y get it. If the NAGs are against it, I'm FOR it. They never have and never will speak for me.

I can take Kirstie in small doses; like a Pier One commercial or something, LOL! I wouldn't pay to watch the show, so thanks for the link to view it on Yahoo. :)

Did we see the same show? On Showtime? I like Kirstie’s acting so I thought I’d watch. It was full of foul, four letter words – particularly f**k, in all tenses. There were two themes: Getting her own show, and getting laid. Lots of talk about looking for a black man for sex (with emphasis on why - and references to the size of one’s “belongings”), not wanting to “do” women, and then a bedroom scene that was neither funny nor classy. It was junk TV at its best.

The whole time Kirstie trounced around in her negligees, with ample view of her now ample bust. I believe she was only “dressed” in two scenes.

Without the foul words, and off-color (or should I say on-color) remarks it could have been funny. She is a gutsy woman; that is certain. But, she obviously has an addictive personality – first drugs, now food, and cannot control her mouth when it comes to language either. What a waste of talent. Seeescch!
