Kirstie Alley announced four months ago that she was going to start her own "Weight Loss Brand." This was after she was dropped as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig after gaining something like 75 pounds in a year. This week's National Enquirer has a new cover story about Kirstie and how her health is failing and she's gaining even more weight as she eats like crazy. You've got to find some way to cope with the regret after wasting $5 million on Scientology when future career prospects and enlightenment remain elusive. It seems Kirstie's weight loss program is still in the planning stages.
The Enquirer says that Kirstie collapsed, but it's more like she got winded and had to hold on to something:
Kirstie simply can't control her eating and has packed on almost 100 pounds since leaving the Jenny Craig diet program, insiders say
She regularly orders calorie-laden Chinese and Thai food - and has also been photographed indulging in frozen desserts at Pinkberry.
"Kirstie's weight crisis took a turn for the worse when she hit the 240-pound mark. Everyone - from her two kids to her staff to her close friends - is trying to get through to her," said the source
Her friends are also worried that her excess weight could lead to life-threatening health conditions like cardiovascular problems and a predisposition to diabetes.
Those fears escalated when the 5-foot-8 star collapsed while walking to her car on a steamy, hot California day.
"Kirstie was walking across a parking lot to her car when she suddenly got lightheaded. As she reached her car, she had to grab onto the door handle because her knees began to buckle."

In March it was announced that Oprah's Harpo productions had signed a TV deal with Alley. No one knows what it was supposed to be about, but The Enquirer speculates that it was a reality show to follow Kirstie on her weight loss journey. Since just about the only place Kirstie can be found lately is outside a restaurant, that has likely been shelved or put on hold.
It doesn't seem fair to pick on celebrities for gaining weight, even when it's as obvious as Kirstie's weight gain. Since she yakked so much about how she was going to solve the weight issue for an entire generation of Americans, it's probably ok to point out that it's been a few months and she hasn't been able to move forward with her own weight loss. In an undated interview with Scientology Magazine "Source," Kirstie said "I literally walked in the door of Flag [Scientology center] four weeks ago as one person, and I'm walking out an entirely different being, and I mean entirely different." Maybe they screwed something up and forgot to subtract the old person first.
