Body By Scientology?

Kirstie Alley and Jenny Craig may have gone their separate ways, but she isn't giving up on the weight loss industry. Her own weight loss, but not the industry.

"After lengthy negotiations, regretfully the Jenny Craig Company and I did not come to an agreement to continue as their spokesperson," Alley said. I guess they couldn't come to terms on the end-of-year food bonus.

Alley called her experience with Jenny Craig extraordinary, but she wants "to create something new that will help millions of people end the seemingly never ending fatty-roller coaster ride," - and intends to develop her own weight-loss brand in 2009.

Taking diet advice from a fattie is one thing, but a fattie who believes that there are magical invisible spirits infecting our bodies...now there's a hard lo-fat lasagna to market. If she's going to be hocking her fatness, she may as well thicken up her wallet, right? Hell, she may even get a few converts to her wacky "church" too. But credibility, like weight loss takes hard work, and Kirstie Alley doesn't fit that bill, even if she weighs a pair of them.

Here's to the days before Xenu plumped her up...
