Kirstie Alley’s new show is bound to be entertaining, if it’s half as quirky as Kirstie Alley is on Twitter! Kirstie Alley signed a deal to star in a reality show on A&E – the 10 half-hour episodes of the show will air next year.

Naturally, Kirstie Alley’s quest to lose weight will be front and center on the new show, as will her day-to-day life as a single parent.

A&E describes the show as showing Alley “producing a feature film, patenting multiple inventions, working hard to raise two normal Hollywood teenagers, taking care of eight ringtail lemurs and, on top of everything, looking for love.”

Why a new reality show for Kirstie Alley? According to A&E senior vice president for nonfiction and alternative programming, Robert Sharenow:

“Kirstie is exactly the kind of star A&E is drawn to. She is a multifaceted talent who connects with our audience on so many levels. Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she’ll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras.”
