“KIRSTIE ALLEY’S BIG LIFE” RUBS SOME PEOPLE THE WRONG WAY
The Kirstie Alley backlash has begun. LA Times TV critic Mary McNamara is fed up with Kirstie and has had “enough of her complaining, fawning assistants, and tricked-out gym.” She says things have changed since Kirstie’s show “Fat Actress” – “it’s a recession now and obesity is considered a medical epidemic.” In other words, it’s not so funny to see Kirstie sitting on her ample rear in her fancy gym in her mansion, screaming like a fishwife for her personal assistant. And complaining about the tabloids when you’re launching a reality show is “just plain stupid.” The critic has little empathy for the self-centered, spoiled actress and would rather see Kirstie lose weight while doing volunteer work in Haiti or some such place. “Losing weight does not make you a better person – just a thinner person.”
