I'll Help Kirstie Lose Weight: Bertinelli

Yo-yo dieter Alley 'not a failure,' fellow Jenny Craig alum says

Share

(Newser) – Actress Valerie Bertinelli wants to help Kirstie Alley in the battle of the bulge, she tells ABC of her fellow Jenny Craig pitchwoman, who gained back all 75 lost pounds she lost on the weight-loss system, plus 10, and set off to start her own diet plan. “Let me mentor you this time,” she pleads to Alley. “You’re not a failure.”

Of course it helps being a celebrity, with your own personal trainer and not not having to worry about a dead end job that sucks up 80% of your waking hours. Reply

I once knew a skinny little guy from Arkansas who wasn't interested in a woman unless she had to turn sideways to squeeze through a door... Hey Kirstie! I might be able to locate him. Reply
