Back in 2007, it was Kirstie Alley who brought Valerie Bertinelli on board as a new spokesperson for the Jenny Craig Diet.  But now the tables have turned and it’s Bertinelli who looks like a bikini bombshell and Alley has confessed to having gained 83 pounds.  When Alley saw her friend’s swimsuit photos for People Magazine she said,

“She didn’t just look good – she looked stunning! It was inspiring.  It’s like the student surpassed the teacher, who is now over there in the corner, fat!”

Kirstie Alley has put back on all of that weight she dropped a few years ago.  We saw her commercials for Jenny Craig and her bikini baring days on the Oprah show back in 2007 when she looked like the Kirstie we remember from Cheers and Look Who’s Talking.  Now, she has blossomed again and had another chat with Oprah saying she’s ready to lose the weight once again.  A little confusing isn’t it?  Here’s what she told Oprah about her weight loss woes:

“I think the biggest thing for me was that I had all of these people that I inspired and then I let them down…My whole life I battled with 15 to 20 pounds, I either weighed 125 or 145, oh!… 125 or 145, you know, like wow.  Then, when I gained weight the last time I honest to god thought, ‘This is it, this is the last time I’ll ever do this.’”

Over the past three years we have watched Valerie Bertinelli proudly transform her body as a spokes model for Jenny Craig.  In 2008, she did get down to her goal weight, but then decided she wanted to push herself even further and drop an extra 10 pounds in order to be bikini-beautiful.  Now at 48-years-old, Valerie has decided to get ultra-fit and model for People Magazine wearing only a bikini.  And from the looks of the above image, she looks dynamite.  She said,

“I thought, if I’m so afraid of a bikini, there’s something wrong. And so I had to get back into one!”

Call me a little skeptical but this smacks of a carefully orchestrated marketing plan by Jenny Craig to get celebs to endorse these diets. As you know Kirstie is having weight troubles herself and looks to have gained some weight recently. [Read more →]
