Kirstie Alley was on Ellen’s show today to plug her new show and while she was there she confirmed that her 17-year old son True is engaged to be married. And she’s happy for him. Because he’s mature.

Kirstie Alley is such a strange creature. She’s got this whole “I’m kooky and funny” thing going on, but she’s way more kooky than she is funny and sometimes that freaks me out. There’s the Scientology thing and then the public battle with her weight and of course, her Twitter has revealed all sorts of crazy that we didn’t even know about. But this news seems beyond all that. Who that doesn’t live in the 1800s and doesn’t have a pregnant daughter act happy about their 17-year old’s engagement? Most people really love their high school sweethearts. Miley Cyrus is in love! Demi Lovato is in love! That doesn’t mean they should be putting rings on it.

Kirstie admits she doesn’t know the first thing about marriage considers both of hers (at ages 19 and 30) failed, but that doesn’t stop her from going on national television and confirming news about her son’s love life.

Call me modern, but shouldn’t he be backpacking through Europe solo on his parents money and boning socialites because his mom is famous in the U.S. and like, doing blow in NY and raving with alternative teenagers in South America and living life? He’s a celebrity kid. He’s got at least another 10, 15 years ahead of him. Why should he settle down now?

Kirstie Alley went on the Today Show to promote her new television show and weight loss line and things didn’t go exactly as plan. In fact, it turned out to be just another example of a member of the Church of Scientology going batshit when asked about their religion.

A very slurry Kirstie explained that the there was absolutely no connection between her weight loss program and the church of Scientology and that confusion about their involvement springs from the fact that Kirstie’s accountant is a “Scientology Jew”. Whatever that means.

No, it’s no Tom Cruise impression, but it’s also not exactly sane looking either. When will Scientology train their celebrity members how to talk about their religion in a way that doesn’t seem like their dodging questions or losing their mind?

GSN has already cornered the market on documenting the events of Carnie Wilson’s ass and now Kirstie Alley has a show of her own. 

She’s going to be in a ten-episode series on A&E that will document her weight loss journey.  The last time I heard from Ellie Mae Clampett Kirstie (springtime), she was on Oprah — you know what a fan I am of Big O — and she said that she had a secret plan for weight loss.  A plan that she wasn’t willing to reveal, but one that would be effective.  Apparently, Alley’s plan hasn’t been working out and the Thetans have been unable to assist her efforts, so we are all going to be privy to Kirstie on a treadmill.  Joy.

Why can’t Kirstie shut the hell up about her weight, go get bi-sected and credit it to Pilates the way God intended?

Kirstie Alley showed up on Oprah this week to talk about how she gained back the 75 pounds she lost and then some: She replaced her home gym with a dining room a year and a half ago, and she hasn’t exercised since.

Well, that’ll do it. It’s so easy to be like, “Oooh, I have the body I want now, I don’t have to watch my diet and exercise anymore.” NOT TRUE. You gotta keep at it, or it’s gonna come back!!!

Good for Kirstie for being honest about her struggle and taking steps to get back into shape!

I haven’t listed to the radio in a while since I do not have a car in New York. Since I am in AZ, I was driving around listening to another annoying talk radio show. The subject was Kirstie Alley and if she was skinny enough to wear a bathing suit on TV and if she will gain back all of the weight she has lost. I think people should lay off. These guys were being awful on the radio. I just wanted to call in and see how many of these men calling in had man boobs and big beer guts. Yes, she was wearing control top pantyhose underneath her bathing suit. Yes, she is not 145 (I’m sorry, Rosie O’Donnell and I are in total agreement on this). Yes, she still is a bigger girl. But you know what? I am proud of her. We all at one point have let ourselves get a bit chubby. She took the weight off slowly which is the healthy way to do it. I have much more respect for her than skinny ass Nicole Richie or Kate Bosworth that obviously owe their skinny arms to a whole lot of blow.
So…go Kirstie Alley, shake it.

Going from “Fat Actress” to wearing a bikini on Oprah is quite a journey. I give her props for putting down the cheesecake and getting healthy. It is great to see somebody slim down without freaky surgery or endorsing dangerous diet pills.
