Kirstie Alley to star in A&E reality series
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kirstie Alley is going to star in a new A&E
reality ``docu-series'' about her life as a single mom and her
efforts to lose weight.
The network has ordered 10 half-hour episodes of the untitled
series from ``American Idol'' producer FremantleMedia North
America. The show will follow the actress at home with her teenage
children, at work and as she launches a new weight-loss program.
The 58-year-old Alley, who starred in the sitcoms ``Veronica's
Closet'' and ``Cheers,'' appeared in the 2005 Showtime comedy
series ``Fat Actress.'' She played a version of herself coping with
Hollywood's fixation on thinness.

program.
The A&E series is to air next year.
A&E is a joint venture of Hearst Corp., The Walt Disney Co. and
General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal.
