'Fat Actress,' Co-Starring Travolta's Bloated Noggin
If Fat Actress has any hope (slim as it may be) of succeeding, the producers are going to have to stop surrounding Kirstie Alley with bloated actors that actually make her look slim by comparison. Being in the same frame as John Travolta's head is cheating—the pre-speed Anna Nicole Smith would look like, well, the post-speed Anna Nicole Smith when shot next to the swollen ham Travolta's smuggling at the top of his neck. (And we know that Alley and Travolta worked together before, but did he need the $10,000 that badly?)
We really shouldn't get too worked up over this. We watched the Travolta clip, and if the conversation between the former co-stars (Alley pitches Look Who's Talking 4—with cats! Hilarious!) is typical of the level of biting "satire" we can expect from the show, it won't be around long. Here's a free idea: Alley blows Ted Danson in exchange for a recurring guest role on Becker, only to discover that the show is no longer on the air. We should note that the idea is not for use on the show, it's for the Fat Actress wrap party.
