Yet another weight related reality show will enter TV land. (Sigh)  With shows like Biggest Loser, Dance Your Ass Off and The Price of Beauty, it’s no surprise that former Jenny Craig spokesperson Kirsty Alley will get her own show. The 59-year-old yo-yo dieter has signed on with A&E for a yet to be titled show of 10 half-hour episodes. You may recall in 2005 her short-lived Showtime series Fat Actress, but that was a scripted show. This new reality show will be a first for Alley. Robert Sharenow, the senior VP for nonfiction/alternative programming said,

“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.”

Over the past summer Kirsty did confess that she gained 83 pounds but she was ready to get back on track. Latest tabloid photos of her show no change in her size but maybe the show will motivate her.

As Jessica Simpson travels around the globe to film her reality show, The Price of Beauty, it seems that she is learning to handle the criticism and media blows when it comes to her beauty and her body.  Her father Joe Simpson recently told Us Magazine that filming the new show has been good for Jessica because since she is always under scrutiny it is good for her to see how other parts of the world view beauty.  For example, while visiting in Uganada the beauty ambassador there knew about Jessica’s struggles with the media and the two talked about how beauty comes from within, it’s not what is on the outside.  Joe explained,

“In Uganda, we sat in a fattening hut because, in Uganda … fat is beautiful.  So the bigger you are, the more beautiful you are. She was with a girl who had been in a hut preparing for her wedding for two months and 25 days on a 5,000 calorie-a-day diet.”
