Kirstie Alley is back with Jenny Craig, and she has a new ad out, where she announces her return by pretending to call the company.  She says, quote, "Jenny, I want to come home.  And then comes the controversy.

 

 

She said she was not "Circus Fat".  Those two words, "Circus Fat" are rubbing people the wrong way. Some say it sounds like Kirstie was saying fat people belong in the circus!

And then on the “Today Show” she tried to explain and it just got worse.

 

 

She said, quote, "I know this isn't politically correct, but I grew up when there were actually fat ladies in the circus.

 

"Now so many of us are fat that you can't tell us apart.  When there were actually fat ladies in the circus . . . they would parade the fat lady out, so I call it 'circus fat.'  I'm not 'circus fat' but I need to lose 30 pounds.  30 pounds is a lot."

 

 

Kirstie, KIRSTIE!!! Be quiet and redo the commercial!
