2005: Year of the Has-Been

I'm very confused by this Kirstie Alley brouhaha going on these days. She hasn't been seen in movies since the Oscar-worthy Look Who's Talking trilogy and those creepy Pier 1 ads and the media is acting like she's the best thing since sliced bread. She has a new show coming out and a Jenny Craig endorsement deal. The problem is that the show is already overhyped, so if it's not hilarious then it's done for. Isn't that right, Father of the Pride? I don't get why it's funny when she talks about how fat she is. Yes, she's fat. In fact, whenever she's on TV she's either eating or talking about eating. However, who gives a shit. Louie Anderson jokes about being fat and he hasn't gotten much attention lately. I guess it's sorta like how the Queer Eye guys talk about how gay they all are. It's like we think they didn't notice they were gay. Then when they talk about it it's PC to laugh at how gay they all are. Eh, I can laugh about how fat Kirstie Alley is by myself, thank you very much.
