Kirstie Alley Returning to Scripted TV

By AOL TV Editors Posted Apr 26th 2011 02:10PM

Kirstie Alley is eying a return to situation comedy with potential projects in the works at TV Land and HBO.

The 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant spilled the beans to AOL TV's Michael Maloney on the 'DWTS' press line last night.

"I have a series being written for me right now that I really love the concept of," Alley told AOL TV. "They're doing it for TV Land and I like those guys. They are really bringing comedy back."

Alley said the TV Land concept is "sort of Virginia Woolf." However, that's not the only iron in the fire. "I have some people writing [a potential series] for me for HBO," she said. "But I really want to do movies."

Alley shot to fame as Rebecca on 'Cheers.' On the big screen she starred in the 'Look Who's Talking' movies and returned to TV with 'Veronica's Closet' and 'Fat Actress.'

Prior to joining 'Dancing With the Stars,' Alley starred in the A&E reality series 'Kirstie Alley's Big Life.'

While her new shows are in the works, Alley said she wouldn't be opposed to stopping by one of TV's most popular comedies, 'Modern Family.'

"I wouldn't mind popping in, but I really want my own show," she said. "And I really want my own movies. I'm selfish, what can I say?"

Thanks for the warning - I'll remember not to watch for it. Whiney women do the rest of us a huge disservice and Ms. Alley is one whopping whiner.

By Vinny

I have an idea for a new show for her..Kirstie alley's big bounceing BUTT!!!!!!

By John

I love beautiful women with meat on her bones.

By J. Diaz

She is an obese disguating over the hill slob and she is very hard on the eyes. She should not be allowed to be seen in any media as she is a disgrace to the American people.

Adored her on CHEERS. One of the biggest mistakes, however, was going blonde. She was a beautiful brunette but the blonde just makes her look bigger and older.

I hear there's a leading role on "Two and a Half Men" available. Just change the title and she's good to go.

By Muscleman

Kirstie Alley is so fat that all the sails on a tall ship don`t even contain enough material to make her a pair of panties. But I like her though.

By Shelia

She might be heavy, but give her a break she's not any worse than some of this garbage that's on TV and not any worse than some of the so called actor's and actress on TV today.

Let me finish she might not be skin and bones like some of them but she's not a fake like they are
