Kirstie Alley's
loving send-up of the absurdities of Hollywood stars the
former CHEERS actress as a character similar to her
real-life persona. A successful actress trying to deal with
the vagaries of the industry, Kirstie searches for love and
success in the often cruel and superficial milieu of the
film industry. A hybrid of sitcom and reality TV, most of
the series is unscripted, taking plotlines from Kirstie's
life and improvising the rest. Much of the show concerns
itself with the negative image that has been built up around
Kirstie's weight gain, and the difficulties of finding work
and acceptance in the industry when one is not a svelte size
three. To stay sane, she is armed with her buoyant
personality and quick wit, as well as a couple of allies:
Eddie (Bryan Callen), Kirstie's assistant with Hollywood
dreams of his own, and Kevyn (Rachael Harris), Kirstie's
stylist who works hard to guide Kirstie in her quest to look
good. Guest stars are also in plentiful supply, with a
lineup that includes Kid Rock, Carmen Electra, Merv Griffin,
Kevin Nealon, Mark Curry, John Travolta, Kelly Preston, and
many more. |
