\"\"<\/a> Today I had the absolute misfortune of watching the show Fat Actress<\/a> with Kirstie Alley. Perhaps the fact that I’ve never liked her as an actress played a part in my disgust with this show, because she has come off as whiney and psychotic in pretty much every role she’s ever played. I think even if it had been someone else I would have felt the same because the way the show is played out is horrible. Not that I think there is anything wrong with the concept of showing what it’s like for an aging, overweight actress to get by in Hollywood.. Honestly, I think that’s a clever idea for a show these days, what with all the reality TV going on and all. This is so slapstick and beyond the limits of reality that I find it hard to watch. The entire time I was watching I was wondering what the difference was between this show and The Anna Nicole Show<\/a>! Seriously, just two overweight, whiney, brainless bitches who flaunt their fat ass and stupidty for a buck. Gawd!<\/p>\n

I don’t even know where to begin explaining what irritates me so much about this show. As a big woman I find it amazing how she can make it appear that all big women do is sit at drive thru’s scoffing down cheeseburgers, finding fries in our pockets and being completely oblivious to our own size. She’s feeding into the stereotypical image of fat women and that pisses me off<\/em>. I think it’s sad that she had this opportunity at her fingertips to show what it’s really like, and wasted it on this garbage. Unless of course she really is such a whiney, ignorant slob.. then they should have some kind of disclaimer that this is what her life is like, not lives of ‘fat’ women everywhere.<\/p>\n

I also find it ridiculous how they make it out like finding work in the entertainment industry is impossible for a woman with extra weight. If that’s the case how did Roseanne, Oprah, Ricky Lake and other plus size women get to be so famous? The problem with Kirstie Alley IS<\/strong> Kirstie Alley! If there’s any reason why she’s not getting much work as an actress it’s because she just flat out sucks at it and is an annoying whiney bitch!<\/p>\n

I know this show is partly fiction but still, it’s pathetic and I’ll be amazed if anyone watches more than one episode of it. I’m also more amazed that people like John Travolta agreed to take part in it. He must have realized how utterly desperate she is to get on the airwaves again and threw that dog a bone.<\/p>\n

I don’t remember being this annoyed by someone on TV since I saw Jonathan and Victoria<\/a> and their antics on the last season of The Amazing Race<\/a>, but it would take me a decade to explain what I despised about those two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
