Skinny VS Curvy

Due to an unexpected (and pleasantly surprising) increase in traffic, the site experienced some “off” time yesterday.

We’re in the process of getting a new, bigger, better server - the site might experience some downtime in the next hours… sorry for that, but don’t worry, it will be 100% back on track by tomorrow!

Thanks for your understanding & for visiting!

People Magazine runs the story about Kirstie’s recent weight gain and you can also check a video of Kirstie on Oprah (after the jump), explaining why this happened & revealing her future plans. Here’s what People says:

When Kirstie Alley stepped on the scale for the first time in 15 months, it wasn’t pretty. “I started screaming,” recalls Alley, sipping homemade fruit-infused water in her Hollywood kitchen. “It said 228 lbs., which is my highest weight ever. I was so much more disgusting than I thought!”

But looking back, Alley, 58, is hardly shocked. During her three-year stint as a Jenny Craig spokeswoman, she famously trimmed down to 145 lbs. after losing and keeping off 75 lbs. But since parting ways with company in 2007, she had not worked out and banished her gym equipment to the garage. As for her diet, her small, low-calorie portions gave way to Chinese takeout and pasta drenched with butter. “I fell off the horse,” says the 5′8″ star.

Today, Alley says she is primed to hire a trainer, toss the butter and sign up for a triathlon in order to whittle her “schlumpy” figure back down to a bikini-ready 140 lbs. “I’m going to have to work harder than last time,” she says, but “I’m way excited.” In a candid interview, Alley sat down with PEOPLE’s Elizabeth Leonard to talk about how she piled on the pounds – and how she plans to get her body, confidence and – yes! –even her groove back.

Okay, how did this happen?
It started with New Year’s [2008], right after leaving Jenny Craig. When you’re a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, there’s responsibility. You have a person every week standing over you when you get on the scale, and I did it naked because those panties could weigh 30 lbs.! It was amazingly successful. But the first nail in the coffin was that I didn’t have to weigh in. I just sort of went wild.

Did you go right back to indulging in cakes and pies the way you did the first time you let yourself go?
It wasn’t the exact same M.O. My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter. A lot of butter. If I’m at the movies, usually I eat popcorn without butter, but I’d say, “I’m at the movies, so who cares?” And toast with butter. Or let’s say I had two cups of pasta and six tablespoons of butter on it. There was a lot of butter going on.

What else would you eat?
For seven months I was a vegetarian, and I can’t tell you how much weight I gained being a vegetarian! A vegetarian would probably be eating vegetables. But to me being a vegetarian meant I’m going to eat enchiladas with no meat, and I’m going to eat lots of bread, lots of carbs.

What weight do you want to get down to?
I have to be below 140 to really look good. I have to work my legs like crazy. Actually, do you want my real goal? My real goal’s always too low. I love the way I look at, like, 128. One time on Cheers, I weighed about 148 lbs., and they told me to lose, like, 20 lbs. Now, I’m 5′8″, so at 148 lbs., I wasn’t fat. But they’re saying, “You know, you need to lose 20 lbs.” So what does that put me at? 128. That’s where I keep getting this number.

… Or at least, that’s what the director of the Miss Australia peagant says. Right.

Radar Online Reports:

An Australian Miss Universe finalist, whose rail-thin appearance caused a stir as she pranced down the catwalk in a bikini, tells Good Morning America, she was singled out and victimized for her skinny appearance in the contest.

“I’ve never been anorexic or bulimic, I’ve never been malnourished or underfed,” Stephanie Naumoska said. “I live a healthy, active lifestyle.”

Critics, citing the model’s visible bones and ribcage, said Naumoska’s emaciated look was a danger to herself and those looking to emulate the her. A judge in the competition remarked he would have “wanted to go and feed her straightaway” if he was her daughter.

The 19-year-old brunette is at 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 105 ponds with a body-mass index score, at 15.8, less than the 18 score she would need to be considered malnourished.

Naumoska said she wasn’t malnourished; she said that if she was, her hair and skin wouldn’t look as healthy as it does, and she wouldn’t have the energy to prepare for the grueling contests.

The director of the Miss Australia pageant said Naumoska’s Macedonian heritage was the reason for her appearance.

“The women do have long, lithe bodies and small bones,” Deborah Miller told UK Daily Mail last week. “It’s their body type, just as Asian girls tend to be rather small. She doesn’t have an eating disorder or anything like that. There’s nothing wrong with her.”
