Kirstie Alley is never going to find peace from the media as long as she is fat. Of course, when Alley was losing the weight she got positive attention from the media, and she invited it.

We are sad to see Alley’s struggle with her weight, and really think the media should leave her alone. Low self esteem, and constant criticism, doesn’t help a person to lose weight when they have been battling the bulge as long as Alley has been. Newly fat people can be helped with some peer pressure at first, but long term help requires a more positive approach.

We hope Alley finds the help that works for her, so she can feel good again.

Queen Latifah (37) has signed on to endorse Jenny Craig. Latifah joins Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli as a Jenny Craig spokeswoman. Scott Parker, Jenny Craig’s vice president of marketing said:

"We officially confirm that Queen Latifah will join the Jenny Craig program in January. We are thrilled to have Queen Latifah support our mission of improving health by taking her first step toward achieving a more healthful lifestyle. Queen Latifah joins forces with Jenny Craig to communicate the importance of how small lifestyle changes, in the areas of diet and exercise, can have positive effects on overall health. Queen Latifah will have a very different campaign, focused on a healthier lifestyle, not on getting into a specific dress size."

Queen Latifah is a woman who knows herself. Now that Jennifer Love Hewitt has turned down Playboy, she should sign on with Jenny Craig like Queen Latifah has. It’s all about healthy choices, and being honest with yourself.
