Kirstie Alley Quits Jenny Craig, Starts Own Weight Loss Product

“After lengthy negotiations, regretfully the Jenny Craig Company and I did not come to an agreement to continue as their spokesperson,” Alley said in a statement.

Alley says she has plans to launch her own weight loss program in 2009. The 57-year-old said she wanted to “create something new that will help millions of people end the seemingly never ending fatty-roller coaster ride.”

The one-time “Fat Actress” star began as a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig in 2005. A year later she appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show after losing 75 pounds. Jenny Craig released a statement saying they were “sorry” to lose Alley as a spokesperson but said they “wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”

Alley is replaced by Valerie Bertinelli and Queen Latifah.
