Kirstie Alley to share her life as single mother in TV reality series

A&E announced Tuesday that Kirstie Alley has signed on to star in a new reality docu-series, about her life as a single mom and her efforts to lose weight.  I know Kirstie has a lot of fans but it would be nice if she could get past her weight issues and move on to something new.  The 58-year-old Alley, has appeared in the 2005 Showtime comedy series “Fat Actress, playing a version of herself coping with Hollywood’s fixation on thinness.  She has also been a spokeswoman for the Jenny Craig diet program.

Her new series set to air next year, is being produced by the team behind “American Idol.”  A&E has ordered 10 half-hour episodes of the untitled series, which will follow the former  “Cheers” actress at home with her teenage children, at work and as she launches a new weight-loss program.
