We haven?t heard from Kirstie Alley in a while, and that?s always a good thing. She was all over the place after her second place finish on Dancing With the Stars, what with the planted rumors about her dating various 20-something Scientologist helpers and the delusional comments about her size. Well Kirstie disappeared for a while, and now she?s back and hautily marched the catwalk for Zang Toi at New York Fashion Week yesterday. Kirstie donned a full length head to toe indigo blue gown. It looked like something Dorothy on the Golden Girls would wear to a night out in Vegas. What?s this designer?s target market, rich octogenarian women?
Kaiser asked me if I thought that Kirstie gained back some of the weight she lost, and I see a little of that in these candids (below), but nothing really striking. Kirstie?s face looks much thinner to me though (see the photo here), and I would hazard a guess that she had something done to get it that way. It could just be her hair and makeup, however, and maybe she did lose more weight.
The real story here is that Kirstie asked for a chartered helicopter to bring her to a charity event for 9/11 on Long Island. She was probably just going there to shill for Scientology?s sauna, vitamins and indoctrination protocol that they used to ?help? vulnerable victims after the tragedy. She wanted organizers to hire her a helicopter to get her there, on a day when airspace was necessarily restricted. That?s ridiculous! To be fair, she did show up after being driver there and acted as gracious as is possible for her:
Kirstie Alley never fails to make a dramatic entrance, but the dancing queen rubbed 9/11 memorial organizers the wrong way when she ?demanded? a helicopter landing for the Long Island Remembers 10th anniversary tribute on Sunday.
Hundreds of firefighters and police officers gathered on the polo grounds at Bethpage State Park for 9/11 tribute services led by Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano.
Steve Carl, of Carlyle on the Green, offered Alley transportation to the charitable commemoration, but reps for the restaurant told Page Six they were shocked to hear her ?demand? for a helicopter landing, showbiz-style, in the middle of the polo field. Alley was informed it wouldn?t be possible to charter a chopper, since it did not comply with airspace restrictions set for Sept. 11.
?She had a set of demands that she wanted met before she made the appearance,? Leslie Gonzalez, an event organizer who reps Carlyle on the Green, told us. But, ?She almost canceled the appearance because she couldn?t get a helicopter.?
Another restaurant rep chimed in, ?We couldn?t believe it. It?s a memorial service, not a party.?
Alley agreed to arrive by car with fellow ?Dancing With the Stars? contestant Nicole Scherzinger. A spy said, ?She stayed a few hours, was very friendly and even petted the horses.?
Alley?s rep told us: ?Kirstie was coming from Pennsylvania that morning, and was simply exploring all options of transportation, from Amtrak to helicopter, in order to ensure she made it on time to respect those being remembered. At no point was a demand made. Also, she ended up taking an SUV, not a limo.
?Further, at no point did she consider canceling the appearance and was happy to honor the firefighters, police officers and emergency services personnel in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.?

At least she went to the event and didn?t cancel on the charity or anything. It?s kind of a half-diva move.
Here?s Kirstie with Jonathan Knight from NKOTB out in NY yesterday. (Thanks Lindsay!) The photo agency lists him as ?boyfriend Max.? I guess the other two 20-somethings she was hanging out with decided that a billion year contract was preferable to being photographed with her.
