CHICAGO – Move over Jenny Craig, there is going to be a new name in the weight-loss business - Kirstie Alley.
The former 'Cheers' star told People magazine in a statement she will be developing her own weight-loss brand expected to launch in 2009, according to their Web site.
Alley, who reportedly lost and kept off 75 pounds during her time as the Jenny Craig spokesmodel, stepped down from her role with the company last week.
