KIRSTIE ALLEY is packing on the pounds again — and HOW!
After reaching her goal of dropping 100 pounds, the former “Fat Actress” has regained 25 pounds by pigging out on her favorite foods during a recent trip to Paris, sources say.
“Kirstie’s been putting weight back on since August by indulging in her usual favorites – take-out Chinese or burgers and fries,” a source divulged.
“But setting foot on French soil seemed to give her the freedom to let loose. She put on 25 pounds in a matter of 9 weeks.”
In Paris, Kirstie typically started the day with a rich dessert, and gobbled calorie-laden foods all day long, said the source.
“She’d have acreme brulee or chocolate croissant as an eye-opener, and then head on to a huge breakfast that included more pastries and cheeses,” the source said. “Kirstie always ordered lunch dripping in a rich sauce, and ended the meal with a buttery dessert. And like the French, she had wonderful wines with every meal. There were days when she’d consume more than 4,500 calories!”
On Oct. 17, the 60- year-old Emmy winner admitted in a post on her Twitter account: “woo hoo….20 course dinner with our besties… I look 3 months pregnant!!”
Two days later she tweeted about eyeing “yots of crepes” while in Paris.
At her heaviest, the former “Cheers” star claims to have tipped the scales at 230 pounds, a l though most people believe she weighed much more than that. Just eight months later, in September 2010, she claimed that she’d dropped 50 pounds on her Organic Liaison weight-loss program.
Earlier this year, the pounds started falling off the 5- foot-8 actress as she rehearsed up to seven hours a day for her stint on “Dancing with the Stars.”
But after she gained 12 pounds p o s t – “Dancing,” a desperate Kirstie started smoking again to control her food cravings.
And her Paris traveling companion – her dance partner Serge Onik, a former “So You Think You Can Dance” contestant and student of Kirstie’s “Dancing” partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy – urged her to watch her diet, said the source.
“But Kirstie does what she wants, and right now Kirstie wants to over-indulge,” divulged the source. “At this rate, she could easily gain back 50 pounds before the end of the year.”
