Kirstie Alley in a floor-length purple gown: lovely or tragic?

fp_7648215_alleykirstie_letterman_scp_11_12

All too often, I only concentrate on Kirstie Alley’s delusions. I should stop for a moment and acknowledge some of the positive. Even though she’s not really a size eight, or a size six, or a size four, Kirstie looks pretty good. She’s 60 years old, and she could easily pass for a woman in her 40s. By the way, that’s what some weight does to many women – it makes you look younger! That’s why Hollywood women starve themselves into oblivion and then get “fillers” in their face, it’s because a fuller face looks younger.

Anyway, here’s something else I have to compliment Kirstie on: her boobs still look great! Look at her boobs in this purple dress, which Kirstie wore to appear on The Late Show with David Letterman. Are those the boobs of a 60 year old woman? Did she get them “done”? I don’t know. Last week, Star Magazine had a piece about Kirstie wanting to get some stuff nipped and tucked, but her rep tells Rumor Fix that Star is full of it:

Kirstie Alley has lost 90 pounds at a rapid fire pace making some gossip magazines wonder if she’s got saggy skin and if plastic surgery is next.

In fact, Star claims she’s got “droopy flesh on her upper arms, saggy jowls and dimpled thighs.”

The magazine goes on to claim, “She definitely wants to get the creases on her face filled in and she’d like to get some of the saggy skin around her midsection tightened up and take care of her jiggly thighs and upper arms.”

Kirstie’s rep tells RumorFix, “She is totally fine the way she is.”

He says the plastic surgery rumors started a year ago after the Dancing with the Stars finalist appeared on Rachel Ray joking about doing plastic surgery on each other. “And now the tabloids use that as a quote that Kirstie considers plastic surgery, but she was joking with Rachel Ray. She’s like, ‘I wouldn’t want a facelift, I’d only want a quarter inch facelift,” but come on, she was completely joking and it was really funny.”

The rep does give the tabloids credit for creativity.

[From Rumor Fix]

Yeah, I think somewhere deep inside, Kirstie knows that her yo-yo dieting and weight problems haven’t ended, so why get a bunch of plastic surgery when six months from now, she’s going to be back to her old “size 10”? Ha. I think she looks like she’s putting on some weight (not much), and I do applaud her for doing so well for so many months. I thought it was going to be a catastrophe for Kirstie just as soon as Dancing With the Stars ended, but she seems to still be working some kind of weight loss program and she’s doing a half-decent job.

    Could do without the finger. Not bad for a 3X size…lol…mega spanx!… what’s with the hump on top of her head? has it started the mitosis process to turn into two?

  2. momoftwo says:

    I just think she’s cool and hip and seems so young and heart. She’s my mom’s age, but my mom acts like an old lady sometimes. I hope I can fun be like Kirstie when I grow up!

    Xenu aside – I really like her and she looks awesome in that dress. She looks like she could be a size 8 (but and Ann Taylor 8, not a Nordstrom size 8).

  3. Jackson says:

    No criticism from me. She looks really good.

  4. Brian says:

    Hair, as usual is absolutely stunning, as is the gown! And I busted a gut at the “finger” shot. Awesome!

  5. juney says:

    Not bad…..but blue purse????

  6. star says:

    YES! FINALLY Kirstie chooses a flattering dress. She looks fantastic in these shots. Healthy, glowing, and again, i LOVE the dress on her!!!!! Keep this up girl. No more dressing like a 20-something. woot woot!

  7. bella says:

    she looks lovely. got to give her lots of credit. she had a transformation on DWTS. best wishes to her in maintaining good health!

  8. ViktoryGin says:

    I’d like to introduce that dress to a fire, but she looks damn good. Can’t even hate.

  9. bagladey says:

    She looks good.

  10. Happymom says:

    She’s hilarious-and looks amazing. Yes-she’s completely delusional about her size and the whole COS thing is cuckoo-but she looks really pretty.

  11. Eugene says:

    Lovely!

  12. kaligula says:

    what??? she looks insane. the dress is one of the better i’ve seen her in, yes, but that blue purse brings it down to target-level fashion. and flipping the bird in front of fans and photographers?? classless. she looks like a stressed-out stage mom who stepped outside for a cigarette between numbers.

  13. Atticus says:

    She looks fantastic, and I agree with momoftwo, depending on the dress maker, she could be an 8. I have clothes from size 4 to 10 that all fit well. It just depends on who made it.

    Go Kirstie! She’s always seemed pretty authentic. Authentically crazy sometimes but true to herself. Loved her on DWTS and really wish she had won. That was such a transformation.

  14. lucy2 says:

    She looks good, I hope she keeps it up. I wish she’d go back to brunette though.

  15. constance says:

    @ juney: My first thought too! Busted by accessory. lol

    She actually looks styled for once, that’s always a plus(size.) If she wasn’t such a crock of sh*$ as a person, I’d have something nice to say about her. lol

  16. Judy says:

    I think she looks great here and really slim…NOT plus-sized…but not a Size 6 either. And here’s where I have issues w/ Kirstie Alley…she just ruined the whole image with her middle-fingered salute. No Class. Her crudeness prevents me from being a cheerleader for her.

  17. Anonny says:

    I believe the saying is, “Lose weight, gain old.”

  18. luls says:

    For a woman in her SIXTIES, she does look FANTASTIC! The dress is very flattering to her body type as well.

  19. Elleh says:

    The hair looks good (graded on the Kirstie scale) but she could have done without the herd of Bump-Its. The dress is flattering, as is the color – but she needs to lose the tragic handbag.

  20. TL says:

    So when is she going to gain weight again? You know, when people stop paying attention so she lose it again.

  21. Terri says:

    She looks absolutely fabulous in the top picture!! Her chest looks really very lopsided, though…is it an effect of the dress’s cut/style?

  22. Hautie says:

    I am surprise she has not had her neck done. Just a little mini lift. Takes less than a month to recover.

    Nothing drastic. I don’t want her to become a card carrying member of Joan Rivers Alien Club.

    But I do like the purple dress. Yet I tend to like her brunette with the big highlights. Over being total blonde.

  23. Quest says:

    I agree: Kirstie looks fab. She looks great for her age and weight. I kinda like how she is flipping the photogs the bird …gotta love her in the end and great bras=great boobs (you hear that Lohan)

  24. fabgrrl says:

    Why must she do that blonde hair? /i alwasy thought she looked great as a brunette.

  25. Mooks says:

    The only thing tragic is the handbag. I want to look this good when I’m 60!

  26. meddi says:

    She has old lady hands.

  27. Heatheradair says:

    I love this. It’s flattering, great color, draws attention to the right parts, is current and tasteful and youthful – she looks great here, I love it.

  28. ladybert62 says:

    That dress is awful as is the hair and the finger gesture – I wish she would go away.

  29. FreeLoveForAll says:

    She definitely has nice arms and shoulders. Looks like she is still working out.

  30. DoMaJoReMc says:

    I thought she looked really nice, until the last photo with the finger. Uncalled for, really : (

  31. cprincess says:

    Age is an internal thing as well and Kirsty Alley always seems like she’s got a young spirit…
    SHe looks great so whats with the bitching?

  32. Linner says:

    Giving the finger is just trashy. I would expect that from her, though. As for the long purple drapes. They are covering up her cankles. Too bad she acts like such a low-life. It takes away from the fact that she looks really good. Pretty package but you open it and it’s full of dog poop.

  33. 4Real says:

    Her Granny hands are kind of freaking me out…

  34. Jen says:

    That’s the best I’ve seen her look in a long time. I would use the word “classy” if she wasn’t holding up her finger.

  35. Atticus says:

    Maybe one of the photogs called her a fat cow or something, prompting the finger. In the series of pics, it looks like she’s reacting to something, not just smiling prettily in the first pic and randomly flicking people off in the next.

  36. mew says:

    That color so beautifully brings out her 24” waist!!

  37. Samihami says:

    Great dress. I wish she’d go bak to being a brunette, though.That harsh blonde does not work with her coloring and ages her.

  38. taxi says:

    Good face, awful legs, with cellulite from knees to cankles.

  39. machiavelli says:

    Minus the purse, minus the finger, lovely

  40. SEF says:

    She looks great.

    I also liked her best brunette, but at her age there are probably so many grays creeping in she has to dye it. I’m in my thirties and I’ve already started down that path!

  41. Turtle Dove says:

    “She’s 60 years old, and she could easily pass for a woman in her 40s.”

    Kaiser, I luv ya like a sister I’ve never met and you write the best gossip I’ve read on any site, but where do you live that Kirstie would look like a 40 year old?????? Sweet Jesus, that woman does NOT look 40 anything.

    I think she looks good for a 60-ish woman, and she looks refined in the third picture, but then you scroll down to the fifth picture and that idea fades quickly. Oh, Kirstie.

    Kaiser, if Kirstie is pulling some Xenu voodoo sorcery on you, guaranteed I’ll be able to organize a large search and rescue party from the avid CB readers. WHO’S WITH ME?

    (runs to closet to arm up)

  42. sarah says:

    LOVE HER LEAH & BLISS BAG!!!!!!! and malandrino dress love love loveeeeeeee

  43. Jezi says:

    Awesome middle finger shot. Love it. She looks pretty damn good. Best I’ve seen of her in a while. You go girl!

  44. arock says:

    she looks great here! that color could go either way but she wears it well. agree with consensus- could have done with out the blue purse

  45. Lushus L. says:

    Oh Lordy. The California Bird should only be given from the window of a car going really fast.

  46. Meanchick says:

    She looks amazing!

  47. locamochagirl says:

    Her boobs need support, but her figure looks ok!

  48. crtb says:

    She looks great! More like a size 10 or 12. Needs a different purse. Good for her. Hope she can keep the weight off.

  49. Sandra says:

    She looks amazing! The dress is very flattering on her, purple is her color.

  50. Thea says:

    She is only as delusional as the other actresses in Hollywood or starlets or Kardashian clan. She is just funnier with it. I give her kudos. She looks pretty good for 60. But she does need to go darker with the hair. She looked better darker.

  51. Chris says:

    “I believe the saying is, “Lose weight, gain old.”

    True. Once you get to a certain age losing a lot of weight can make your face look haggard. But at the end of the day if you’re in a stable relationship how you look to other people shouldn’t matter as much as it does when you’re on the prowl. After all isn’t one of the benefits of being in a stable relationship gaining your freedom from that oppressive shit you have to go through to find a partner?
    Ugh I don’t ever want to be back out there.

  52. skinanny says:

    I think she looks great! size 10

  53. Sue says:

    She looks pretty. Still hard to believe she is 60. Large or small, she looks great at 60.

  54. Andie B says:

    She does look good for 60, but I think she is dressing too young. I love the colour, but the style says to me ‘look at me, I’m 30 dontchya know’…women of her age and older can look great if they dress appropriately. At least her tatas aren’t on display.

  55. palermo says:

    I personally think she had either lapband or gastric bypass. She isn’t exercising any more since DWTS is over, so how could she still be losing?

  56. april says:

    I wonder how she maintains her face to look so good at 60? Does anyone know if she has extensions?

  57. samab says:

    how to ruin everything with wrong accessory….it has to be the scientolocrazy.

  58. Carolyn says:

    She looks a lot healthier than she did a few months ago. Wish she’d go back to brunette – as a blonde she looks like an ancient Lohan.

  59. Io says:

    Hey lookin good Kirstie. It’s been a while.

  60. mare says:

    I think she is beautiful..if you follow her on twitter she is still dancing 2 hrs a day with Maks students.On the view she looked as thin as Elizabeth it was a more form fitting dress..I seen a pic of her with Petra and she looked almost the same size.I don’t think this gown flattered how truly thin she really is..but anyway who cares I love her no matter what size.

  61. JustAGuy says:

    All of you can say and feel how-ever you want. As long as I’m alive, Kristie will always have someone that “thinks she’s the greatest”. Yes, I’ve had the “hots” for this women since the first time I saw her. Didn’t care if she was “thin” (ie; Cheers days), or “chubby” (ie; her heaviest), I love her eyes and voice. Just something about her…

  62. CCM says:

    LOL to quote someone above…”Xenu aside”, I love this broad and she looks great here.
