Kirstie Alley Headlines Weight-Loss TV Show, Book, Website

Kirstie Alley is reportedly at her all-time heaviest weight at 265 pounds and has sworn to her friends that she will lose 70 pounds by June 15 to coincide with the launch of her newest weight-loss ventures.

The National Enquirer has an inside source:

Kirstie’s anguish came to a head after overindulging in a decadent Jan. 12 birthday dinner. Her teenage children, True and Lillie, had taken her for a celebratory feast at her favorite Asian fusion restaurant, Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, where Kirstie indulged by eating dumplings and chocolate cake.

“Her birthday dinner was a major diet slip-up, and it sent Kirstie over the edge,” said the insider. “She’s insisting that she’s finally got her workout and diet regimen under control, but that just isn’t so.”

Kirstie recently launched a weight-loss Web site to tie in with her new A&E reality show, she’ll soon publish a book, and she’s been boasting for months that she’ll be unveiling what promises to be a revolutionary diet and exercise system.

The website, Phitter.com, apparently just reposts diet-related content — by her and others — from Twitter.com. (Like this, for example.)

Kirstie Alley’s weight-loss chronicles are well known to anyone who glances at the sensational ‘bloids in line at the supermarket (or, um, this site), so who would follow her crazy Scientologist fat-loss program after watching her weight fluctuate give or take 120 pounds? Failing repeatedly at something for 10 years doesn’t make you an expert, and selling unhappy people advice on how to conquer demons that she still wrestles with seems like a lose-lose situation for everyone involved.

Will Smith Hires Scientologist as ‘Secular’ School’s Headmistress

will-smith-and-jada-pinkett-1We haven’t heard much from Jada Pinkett and Will Smith lately, except TMI about their sex life. But that’s not all they’ve been up to. So to speak.

Apparently they’ve fired the headmistress of their non-Scientologist Scientology school and replaced her with a practicing Scientologist who won’t gripe about the curriculum:

The school head and the superstar couple were said to have clashed about the school’s mysterious Study Tech curriculum which was devised by Scientologist founder Ron L. Hubbard. While the school’s official website simply reads “Coming Soon!” under Head of School, RadarOnline.com has learned that Piano Foster is the new woman tapped for the role.

“They have appointed somebody else who is more ‘in-line’ with their thinking as to how the school should be run,” the source added. …

Both Smith and his wife have denied they are Scientologists and in a previous interview with the Los Angeles Times, [Jacqueline Olivier, the former headmistress] insisted the facility had no religious affiliation.

She said: “We are a secular school, and just like all non-religious independent schools, faculty and staff do not promote their own religions at the school.”

But the school’s donors will without hesitation!

Poor Will Smith’s grandmother. I don’t know how much more she can take.

Tom Cruise Appoints Himself Relationship Guru to Beckhams

tomkatTom Cruise has appointed himself “relationship guru” to Victoria and David Beckham as they work out some marriage issues, reports the U.K. Daily Express:

“After an evening with David, Tom decided to have a friendly chat with Victoria about the family’s future, saying it was because he cared so much about all of them,” revealed a source.

“They love each other dearly but Tom is a big believer in talking about issues . He could see they were both worried about the future and what it might hold.”

The Mission Impossible actor is understood to be concerned that the former Spice Girl – who runs a successful fashion empire from her home in the US – will want to stay in Los Angeles while her husband, 35, heads back to Europe.

“He talked to her about David ageing, his football career, the pressures of disgruntled fans, his loneliness when away from the family and how time apart is how marriages can fall apart,” adds the source.

Because if there’s one couple whose relationship everyone is jealous of, it’s Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. And before that, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. And before that, Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers. Just because you’ve been married a bunch of times doesn’t mean you’re good at it.

Now granted, Tom does follow his own advice about staying within arm’s reach of your spouse at all times. When was the last time you saw Katie Kate Holmes do anything on her own?

Kirstie Alley Pitches Hissy Over Failed Talk Show Deal

By Holly Won't 24 Comments Digg! Digg this
Categories: Businesses, Crazy People, Movie Stars, Scientology, Television Stars and Writers

kirstie_alley_supersoakerThe more I learn about Kirstie Alley, the more I realize how freaking unhinged she is. According to the National Enquirer (via Celebitchy), she feels she’s been denied the opportunity to have her own Oprah-branded talk show because of her much-publicized weight gain:

Now Kirstie, whose own Oprah-sponsored talk show stalled, believes that Harpo productions is passing on her project because she’s packed on a huge amount of weight this year — some 83 pounds, according to a source close to Kirstie.

“Kirstie feels like she’s been kicked in the head!” the source confided.

“Last year she signed a deal with Oprah to do her own show. But nothing ever came to fruition and many speculated it was due to her weight gain.”

Clearly that’s not it. Talk show hosts who talk incessantly about their weight are par for the course. Ricki Lake, Tyra Banks, and Oprah herself — it’s all part and parcel of daytime talk shows.

So while she continues blaming her weight woes for why she doesn’t have her shiz together, I’d like to call attention to a source of much of my entertainment: Kirstie Alley’s Twitter account.

When she’s not making wild Scientologist claims that treating postpartum depression with prescription drugs is like “BABIES HAVING PROZAC squirted in there [sic] eyes at birth to prevent depression later on,” she’s going on obscene rants attacking her followers. Some of her posts so far today:

DAMN..WE are feisty today and phylisophical and LOUD and well…WE ALL GOTTEN F—IN GOIN ON!!!

Yelling does not mean ANGER. It means ALIVE.. and ..well..the sounds I make when Jamie..SHAGS MY BRAINS OUT!! WHOOOOOHOOOOOOO
about 1 hour ago from web

COME ON PEEPS no need to whisper..that’s for school and church..and at a funeral!!LET ME HEAR YOU MOTHER F———-!! HOLLA BACK LOUD!!
about 1 hour ago from web

I’ve known sailors with cleaner mouths and better spelling. She seems to take every possible opportunity to get into Twitter wars with anyone who wants to scrap with her, whether it’s Perez Hilton or some random critic. Just what you want in a talk show host: Someone who acts like a guest on Jerry Springer every day of her life.

Like Jessica Biel, Kirstie Alley is just another celebrity blaming her looks for her lack of success. Take your eyes off the mirror, girls, and turn them toward your navels. You just might find a clue there.

Kirstie Alley Unloads Weight Gain Woes on Oprah

Longtime Deceiver readers may remember the whole Kirstie Alley debacle from about a year ago — how Jenny Craig fired her for regaining all the weight she lost (and then some) because their diet doesn’t work as a lifestyle change.

Yesterday, two and a half years after she appeared on the show in a bikini, she went on Oprah again to talk about how she plans to take off 85 pounds by November — just in time to launch her own weight loss plan.

But even Oprah, the poster child of yo-yo dieters, wasn’t buying it:

KA: For the last year and a half, the one thing I’ve been doing that is good is I’ve been researching and developing my own weight-loss plan. And so I’ve actually lost twenty pounds in the last five weeks doing that.

Oprah: [skeptical] Really.

KA: Yes. Thank you very much. [applause]

Oprah: Twenty pounds in five weeks?

KA: Twenty pounds in five weeks.

Oprah: [eyebrow raise] How do you lose twenty pounds in five weeks?

KA: I’ll tell you later.

I’m headbutting my keyboard. First of all, anyone who’s ever tried to lose weight safely before (i.e. not following the Lindsay Lohan diet of Red Bull and coke) knows it doesn’t come off that fast. Maybe on The Biggest Loser where they’re eating nothing but Mrs. Dash seasoning and exercising eight hours a day you can see those kind of results, but at least they’re under the care of qualified dietitians, personal trainers, and medical professionals.

Losing 85 pounds in six months just ain’t gonna happen. And if it does, there’s serious Scientologist voodoo involved that should not be taken as sound advice from someone who, by my count, has gained and lost the equivalent of a small armored car over the years.

deceivermadnesslogo091Eight celebrities. Four matchups. And only one blog where you can see the carnage first-hand.

If you want a replay of this weekend’s amazing NCAA action, you’ve come to the wrong place. (ESPN is that-a-way…). But if you need your bracket fix between now and next Saturday, well… we’re suddenly the only show in town, now aren’t we?

(Mwah-ha-HA-ha-ha-ha-ha….!)

As always, you pick the winners. And this is the big-time. These Regional Final skirmishes will send half the contestants packing, and the other half to the “Phony Four.”

You know you’ve been waiting for this moment — you and about 20,000 of your closest friends. So now it’s time to step up, fire a long jumper, and elevate your game.

Or you could just dispense with the hoops metaphors, and vote for the famous phonies who turned out to be the biggest hypocrites in their entire brackets.

Yeah, that’s it. Do that instead of the weak-ass basketball stuff. Go ahead.

I really don’t relish the thought of poking fun at a raging alcoholic. But it’s not just that Tara “goose-shaped eggs” Reid has a problem. It’s that with all the money she’s made, you’d think she could hire someone to just carry her around when she’s sloppy drunk so her stiletto heels don’t get caught in the sidewalk cracks. So pitting her against the awesome, L. Ron Hubbard-enhanced superhuman that is Tom Cruise just seemed like the humane thing to do. Like when your SUV hits a deer. Better to get it over with quickly so you don’t have to watch it squirm.

There I go again … on to the epic battle.
