How Kirstie Alley Will Make More Money Than Any 'Dancing' Star
As long as they're still standing and not voted off, all the celebs on 'Dancing With the Stars' make the same amount each week (the winner makes most, naturally), so when it comes to extracurricular earning, insiders tell me
Kirstie Alley is poised to profit most from this experience.
"The weight loss business is worth hundreds of millions of dollars," a friend of Kirstie's tells me. "She has already lost 70 lbs dancing and hasn't wasted one minute to capitalize on it."
The actress, who recently launched her Organic Liaison Weight Loss System, appeared on QVC a few days ago and sold out in less than 15 minutes. And she's just getting started.
"Kirstie is no fool," the pal tells me. "She used her over 800,000 Twitter followers to make sure they tuned in and bought her product and has no plans of stopping any time soon."
"I will be on QVC this Saturday morning around 10:30 ... presenting my Organic Liaison products ... I've lost 70 lbs on them!! Woo hoo," Kirstie tweeted before arriving at QVC. Moments before her appearance, she tweeted, "Go on QVC in approx FIVE minutes ... woo hoo ... Get lean with me!!!..... Together we can do this and stay lean forever!!"
Many celebrity competitors have used the heightened profile they get from being on 'Dancing' to endorse products or book personal appearances, but observers in the industry believe Kirstie is taking it to a new level.
"She's creating a brand of product that can be sold around the world 24/7," a QVC insider tells me. "It's like what Joan Rivers did with her jewelry collection."
Looks like the former 'Cheers' actress will be dancing all the way to the bank!

If Kirstie is a size 6 then I am a minus 5. It is nothing other than her hyping her new diet products. It appears that she needs to lose another 70 lbs.

Yes,Kirstie is overweight but so what? She definitely does not need to have her midriff out but I saw her on a talk show and she looked great and very sexy because she was dressed more appropriately for her size. She is the best dancer of the women and she has such great personality that is why is still there.

I say "You go girl!" People are sooo mean! Whatever happened to, You don't have anything nice to say , say nothing? Honestly, I give Kirstie so much credit. Most women that have extra weight on them don't want to be looked at..especially dancing! but kirstie? She gets out on that dance floor and shines! She has such joy on her face it honestly makes me cry. She is my hero... I am so impressed with her honesty, and her unbending will to improve herself. She takes any critisism gracefully and never even has been cross like some of the dancers. If she does, she sure never shows it or hints it's there. I am so proud of you Kirstie! I wanna be your new bff.

Kirstie's lost 70 lbs??? On what planet? I heard she had lost 30 lbs on DWTS and I found that hard to believe. She sold out on a weight loss product? What is wrong with people? If her product works, why is she such a cow? People, wake up!
