Kirstie Alley

Kirstie Alley is trading Jenny for Oprah. Ms. Alley has inked a TV development deal with Oprah's Harpo Productions, with a daily talk show under consideration, according to Variety. The deal comes after a series of high-profile appearances on Oprah's show (remember when she wore a bikini after reaching her goal weight with Jenny Craig?). Ms. Alley told Variety that she's hoping to come up with "something totally fresh" with Harpo. "I'm very open with what I've been through in my own personal life, and nothing -- I mean nothing -- is off-limits for me to talk about," she said. "Nothing shocks me."

"Uhm, I guess," I say.

"What the heck is going on with you?"

That is the $64,000 question folks. In about a month's time I have gone from fairly motivated exercise and diet wise to completely, totally full-on binge crazy. I don't mean binge as in binge and purge...that I can't handle. I just mean cupcakes, BLT's, french fries, big soft street pretzels, sugary cereals, bagels with lox...ok, I'll stop now. Let's just say its bad...very bad.  read more »

I have three months left until my wedding and 20 pounds to lose. I know, I know...I hear the chorus of "that might be a bit too lofty a goal, Erica." "You should really focus on one to two pounds a week...your wedding is just one day and you really want to set your sights on getting healthy for life," I imagine all of the health freak know-it-alls saying. Right...yeah...thanks, everyone.
