Just came across this page.

Re: the way she looks….
People look a lot different when they’re off the stage than when they’re on. If you’re seeing photos of her where she looks bad (like those stupid tabloid pix), she’s gonna look way different because she’s not all made up to be onscreen. She’s not expecting a camera in her face at 5 in the morning.

Re: Fat Actress….
I love the show. (Which is available on On-Demand, Showtime.)

Re: Her depression….
At one point, she lost her baby, so I imagine she was very depressed over that. From what she says, that’s actually when she started eating (during hr pregnancy and continued even though she was no longer pregnant). She continued eating and had a blast doing so, but then she realized she couldn’t do things as easily as she could before, and since she leads a fast-paced lifestyle, she knew she had to lose some weight. She’d rather be thinner, but she did have fun gaining weight.

If she wants to cash in on her appearance, more power to her. The tabloids lie about her and make money off her, so what’s wrong with her getting somethign back? She’s using humour, what SHE thinks is funny and how SHE sees things from a fat person’s point of view. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but not everything will be.

I agree with Blue, the show just wasn’t good. I think you can make size a self empowerment issue (in the way that Roseanne did) without resorting to trite stereotypes. The comedy was flat, tired and bordering on offensive … not just to women but people of color.

If you aren’t a Hollywood insider or obsessed with all things behind the scenes in Hollywood … every character just comes off as totally unsympathetic, self abosorbed and shallow.

In the same way that other under-represented groups in the media would like to see lead characters whose whole comic identity isn’t centered around being black, gay, asian, handicapped or whatever … can’t we just have some funny shows where the lead just happens to be outisde of the plastic Hollywood norm? Roseanne broke ground on the weight issue. Kirstie is just selling out … and it isn’t even entertaining.

I think “Fat Actress” is hysterical and very entertaining! Bravo Kristie and cast for creating a great show. Critics need to lighten up and accept it for what it is, a fun comedy! What is with the reviews that are saying “Fat Actress is going to make Women fat!” ???

Kirstie is talented – She should look at the lame jokes and realize there is much, much more to explore with this premise in a comedy.

Hope it improves as it goes along.

Here’s hoping some writing talent jumps on board to save her show.
