THERE'S ONLY A COUPLE OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MS.ALLEY, AND MYSELF. SHE'S FAT AND GONNA STAY THAT WAY, AND SHE GOT MONEY COMING OUT THE KAZOO.

Wow sounds like you forgot to take your prozac today - you need to take chill pill.

Not all women are slender and petite. Personally I find Kirstie hot in her own way, always have and if a few extra pounds were a big problem, most of the complainers here would be in big trouble.

Kristie is NOT RICH, why do you think she is doing a show like this. NO ONE will hire her after the Jenny Craig thing. Her own didn't get started,and this show will not work either. WE as average people have got to stop watching shows pf peoples daily lives. It is like peeping in their windows. If Kristie is not good in front of the camera's (because of what ppl think is attractive) let her write or produce to make a living, but please keep her political and religious opinions to herself, and she will be fine.

So she's fat, big deal, is she going to make a career of her battle with weight? Not everyone was meant to be skinny...then again, quit eating!!

If simply be not eating would stop obesity then EVERYONE would be thin - you must not have or never have had trouble with keeping weight off.
