Kirstie Alley scammed Jenny Craig

Kirstie Alley leaving Dancing with the Stars studios after practice in Hollywood (3/11)

Let this next story be a lesson to all future advertisers: If you hire Kirstie Alley, you may be biting off more than you can chew . . . which coincidentally Kirstie never has a problem with. From the Chicago Sun Times:

Kirstie Alley may be surprising people with how well she’s doing on “Dancing With the Stars,” but the folks at Jenny Craig are not cheering. The diet program honchos are very upset with the actress — believing Alley basically took their money for a well-publicized TV ad campaign, and then ran off to do her own diet plan. Even before Alley finished with Jenny Craig, the “DWTS” contestant had packed back on almost all of the pounds that she initially had lost.

According to a JC source, Alley simply didn’t stick with the diet and exercise program Jenny Craig espouses for all its customers. Now, supposedly partnering with several fellow Scientologists, Alley has launched Organic Liaison — a Los Angeles store that sells a program very similar to the Jenny Craig concept.

“To say the least, this was not our favorite celebrity endorsement arrangement,” said the JC source.

No shit Kirstie "didn't stick with the diet and exercise program Jenny Craig espouses." I'm pretty sure Jenny Craig's business model isn't to turn their clients into Jabba the Hutt. If Kirstie really launched her own diet program, her fellow Scientologists better make sure she follows through. Because as any 10th level Operating Thetan will tell you, unlike flights on Southwest, fat people can't buy two seats for the spaceships that fly to Xenu.

Kirstie alley was paid seven million dollars after she lost 75 lbs. Did Jenny Craig mention they bought the company for $112 million dollars and sold it to Nestle for over $600 million dollars.I would say their investment in Miss Alley was worth it.

Ditto!!! I am 57. I have been caregiver to my mom [that passed away recently] for 8 years. I have packed on some pounds. Recently realizing that most of us pack on pounds for one reason or another. I love Kirstie and totally admire her drive, sense-of-humor and outlook on life. You guys need to sit back and realize you are not always going to look as pretty as you look now. Take a good look around you at others. Stand up for her [and yourself] for what she is accomplishing! I admire her - she sets a great example for all of us. So shut up and pay attention.

Yeah she was hot the she got rich and ate her all her money. I thought the scientologists would have hooked her up to one of the shock machines by now.

Poor woman.

To think she was kind of decent-looking in Look Who's Talking (merely 21 years ago). She either needs to retire for good or she needs to get the world's most talented agent

That's one butt-ugly bag lady!
