About a year ago, Kirstie Alley went on Oprah to tell her and the audience why she had ballooned to over 220 pounds and how she managed to drop 55 pounds. Remember that at the same time she decided to become a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig and start losing the weight, she starred in a self-parodying Showtime series Fat Actress, so her chubbiness ended up being quite profitable for her.Now she's lost a total of 75 pounds, and is so proud of her new figure, the 55-year-old Alley is going to appear on the show again this afternoon... in a bikini. Think about this: not many 55-year-olds would appear on a national TV show in a bikini to begin with, much less one that has just lost the equivalent of a 25-inch TV off their bodies. I'm sure some of the leftover flab has been nipped and tucked by talented doctors, but going out there in a bikini is pretty brave, even for a ballsy woman like Alley.
Alley talks about her weight gain and loss, and her Oprah appearance, in this Life magazine inteview. The details of what she ate to get to her maximum density is pretty scary, even to a hefty eater like myself.

"She works hard for the money.....and you better treat her right.....so hard for it, honey....." That Donna Summer song comes to mind. Kristie is no longer on the actor call-list, so shes gotta pay the bills.....so her fat goes to market! Its been done before!!!

What is it about this woman that I like so much? Fat, not fat, she's always hot.

It's too bad the Scientologists eradicated the dignity thetan from Ms. Alley.
The best we can hope for here is that no children are left blind after the unveiling.

Well Kristie had to wear her "stripper hose" with the bikini and it didn't look right. Plus the bathing suit looked more like underwear. She does have a better attitude about life and looks much better and I congratulate her for being so public about her weight loss.

Saw the thighs, ugh! I'm glad she covered up her rear!!A 50yr old woman acting goofy and tossing her hair extentions around, is stupid! Oprah did this years ago, when she had all her fat that was sucked put into a jar and she wheeled in on a little red wagon. De ja vu

Marthe get your facts straight - Oprah Winfrey, wheeled a wagon loaded with - ANIMAL- fat onto the set of her show to REPRESENT her 67-pound weight loss.
She lost the pounds with a liquid protein diet. - not lipo Martha.

She says she has never had lipo and if she does she will tell us. Kristy is doing a great job of losing weight to be healthier but the pantyhose up to her bra showing was weird with a wrap/scarf over her hips and behind odd. I was surprise the Oprah show tried to help pull that off. She should have left the bikini stunt to the 50 year old bowflex grandmother.
