KIRSTIE Alley is set to tackle her continuing fight to lose weight in a new TV show.
The 58-year-old actress — a former Jenny Craig spokesperson — has signed on to star in a new reality series for A&E, which will follow her as she battles the bulge while raising two teenagers alone.
The untitled reality show will run sometime in 2010, according to trade rag Variety.
“Kirstie is exactly the kind of star A&E is drawn to,” said A&E nonfiction/alternative programming senior VP Robert Sharenow. “Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she’ll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras.”
Alley’s last TV series was 2005’s Fat Actress, the half-improvised, half-scripted Showtime show in which she played herself.
In May, Alley said that while she had gained 83 lbs., she had a plan to get her life back on track. “I’m gonna go, ‘You know what? Get back on the horse, lose the freakin’ weight, and then just move forward!” she told People magazine.
