After 3 years of semi-faithful service and many digitally slimmed down commercials, Jenny Craig and Kirstie Alley parted ways. I sort of figured that they finally dumped Kirstie because they realized she just wasn’t losing the weight. And I sort of assumed Kirstie had stop trying to lose the weight and instead began embracing the fat. I was wrong, though. Kirstie Alley is now going to make her own system for weight-loss. Maybe she’ll be the new Jenny Craig? Kirstie told PEOPLE magazine:

Alley, 57, hopes to “develop and pilot my own weight-loss brand that I hope to launch in 2009,” she has announced in a statement.

Though she called her experience with Jenny Craig “extraordinary,” she says: “I want to create something new that will help millions of people end the seemingly never ending fatty-roller coaster ride.”

Good for her. It would be nice to see her slim down to her Cheers days.  I just hope she doesn’t end up pulling a Star Jones and then saying the credit goes to her new “Kirstie Alley plan” or something like that. I wonder what the Scientologists think of her always talking publicly about being fat? It seems like that might be something they wouldn’t care for too much.

Did anyone see that Jenny Craig commercial where Valerie Bertinelli says something about how great it would be if us gals could wake up New Years day without having to make a resolution to lose weight? Basically saying, call Jenny and lose all your weight and party like all them skinny chippies do. Yeah well, I bet Kirstie wanted to throw Valerie’s new thin bod right out the window ….Because as of Valerie’s new found success with Jenny Craig, and of course Queen Latifah being a new spokes person…. Poor Kirstie Alley has been shown the door with Jenny. Apparently she has been unable to keep up with Valerie’s weight loss and has been unable to lose anymore weight. Perhaps even gaining some back maybe?

I, personally, was rooting for Kirstie, so this was sad news to me. Not only did she have to suffer doing all those commercials about being over weight, but then she gets basically fired for not doing it well enough. Man, I think since she’s not getting any younger, she deserves the right to have some junk in her trunk….and I get so sick and tired of looking at people like Paris…who claim to eat Hardee’s or Burger King all the time and never gain weight or get flabby. I do wish that Kirstie had more success with Jenny than she did. Even I had a hard time believing she lost 75 pounds because to me looked exactly the same when she claimed she lost 50 pounds. But I had the faith she could get back to the way she was when she did Look Who’s Talking.

Even though Kirstie will no longer be the spokes person for Jenny Craig, the “Fat Actress” will continue to participate in the “maintenance program.” And of course they’re claiming their program works just as well as always despite Kirstie failing. I keep thinking that it would be awesome though, if Kirstie signed on with some other program, like NutriSystem, and really got the results she wanted. That would be some awesome revenge now wouldn’t it?! Yeah.
