Kirstie Alley has been making headlines for her yo-yo figure for the past few decades and 2009 is no exception. The actress, 58, has been ballooning up and down in weight for several years now and seems to have hit an all-time high this year.
Alley, a former spokesperson for weight loss empire Jenny Craig, has spent countless hours defending her curves and admitting she has a weight problem. Kirstie's recent appearance on Oprah sparked even more controversy surrounding her full figure and even fuelled rumors that Jenny Craig no longer wanted to be associated with Kirstie Alley.
Fortunately, the rumors were false and Jenny Craig released a statement revealing that they had no problems with Kirstie and would welcome her back on the program whenever she wanted.
Kirstie's sudden weight gain comes just months after Valerie Bertinelli showed off her pin-thin figure in a revealing bikini. Bertinelli, still a spokeswoman for the Jenny Craig program, attributed her weight loss to the program and is a huge advocate for Jenny Craig weight loss.
Bertinelli has only been thin for a few months, though, and Kirstie Alley has seen moments in the past when she was super thin. Everyone is praising Valerie and putting Kirstie down but who's to say Valerie won't balloon up again in a year or so. Furthermore, who's to say Kirstie won't lose the weight again.
Either way, both of these women deserve credit for losing weight. And, ya, Kirstie is at a low point right now but we're confident she'll lose the pounds again.
Do you think Kirstie has the power to shed the pounds one more time?
