Apparently a few weeks ago her partner was supposed to support her, and blew out a leg trying; like most contract network dancers, he was taken out behind the stage and shot. Really, it's better that way for everyone. The incident, some speculated, provided additional motivation for Kirstie Alley to shed more weight, and now she's shaved away yards from her waistline.

How is she doing it? Exercising more and eating less. Oh, sure, it sounds like one of those crazy counterintuitive diets that make no sense, but some people swear by it.
