Kirstie Alley In 'The Fabulous Lives Of Hollywood Whores'? Lance Bass, Star In Talks

No one ever said Kirstie Alley is a prude.

The former "Dancing With The Stars" contestant -- and, of course, Emmy-winner for her work on "Cheers" -- may be taking her revived star to the great white way in a raunchy new comedy. According to the New York Times, Alley is in talks to join Lance Bass's upcoming Broadway play, "The Fabulous Life of Hollywood Whores," playing a demanding show biz executive who is running a secret LA call girl service out of a department store.

The Times cautions that no theater has been lined up and no actors have officially signed on the dotted line. Still, if it happens, it'd be another big step for Alley, who just a few years ago had a reality show about her efforts to lose weight. Following her turn on "DWTS," where she came in second place, Alley has lined up a number of big projects. She'll co-star alongside Jessica Biel, Jake Gyllenhaal and James Marsden in director David O. Russell's "Nailed," and has her own upcoming TV series, "The Manzanis," which will co-star Rhea Perlman.

Is Kirstie hiding a Conehead underneath that wig? Is she trying to revive the Franchise?

Small or Large Kirstie is a funny woman - a great comedic actress.

She looks like a Scientology hooker.... please, please get rid of the raccoon eyes.

I like the term "Scientology hooker". Sounds like a character from a scary Sci-Fi film. Or maybe the term for people Scientologists employed (deployed?) on the street to coerce people into their "organization". ....but she's not, uh...one of them...is she?

Sorry to say, yes she is one of them.....just as full of it as Tom Cruise. She is one of their prime PR Scientology showcases. So if you give her one cent, your helping Scientology, so if you think Scientology is what it is , don't give her one cent.....and please don't bring up the "artist" bull.

She's beautiful and a good person. They should remove your hateful post.

...and you never have seen anything about Scientology?......you talk about "hateful"...just do some research into Scientology and you will get the true definition of "hateful".....she is one of their prime showpieces. While your at it, look up "good person".

I think she is awesome. She is comfortable with who she is, and not willing to get herself messed up with plastic surgery to maintain a look that is not natural. She has no problem telling her age and I give her major credit for that. Too many in Hollywood lie about their age and their faces.

Her size is another story.
I still say a 10 not a 4.

Ok..she looks fantastic. I give her credit for doing what she did on camera..I can't believe she is 60 years old..she looks 15 years younger!

It's not often someone can fill the shoes of the star of a successful TV show. After Shelley Long left "Cheers," I thought the show would tank. Not only did Kirstie Alley prove a worthy successor, she won an Emmy to boot. I'm really glad to see her looking so good. No one can say she hasn't worked at it.

She was better than Long in my opinion.

I think so too. Her character was better written though.

Glad she lost the weight. She looks stunning. How she can keep it off for herself, and her children.

And for the record, I'm cool with call girls, psychiatry, and Kirstie.

"...playing a demanding show biz executive who is running a secret LA call girl service out of a department store."

But she wouldn't guest star on Frasier because is "evil". Get serious!

Good for her. Grammer is a right-wing Republican.

[Morena]

And?? She has no objection to his political affilliations. Her objection religous based. Besides, do you know her politics. Let's be grown ups here!

Still love Grammer, even if he's a repub. and his ex wife is a housewife. It's a free country, after all.
