I think she is a horse. I'm sorry. the only good thing she did was CHEERS and the greatness of that show was not to her credit. Cast her as Caroline the cow in Gypsy. "MOO MOO MOO MOO" thats about it.
If the Weisslers get a whiff of her attempted singing, they'll cast her as Roxie in Chicago. [shiver]
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I, too, think those commercials are horrendous. Nothing makes me want to run out and buy cheap Pier One Xmas stuff more than an Eileen Farrell-ish wanna-be coquette (who's greatest role came from shaving her head and playing a space alien) sultrily singing a tune that has been covered by Eartha. Wow, what marketing geniuses came up with THAT?

Silly of me to register just to reply to this message, but why initiate this catty chat when you yourself are so alphabet-challenged? It's Kirstie ALLEY not ALLEN, dimnuts. Speaking of which, I can't say I like the commercials either but, as with any disaster footage, it's hard to look away.
Namo, you are the king of this thread. I bow to your clever turn of words. Also, the only thing better than a man in uniform is a man OUT of uniform, heh heh.
Okay, RE: Ms. Alley, she has been redeemed as a viable actress in my eyes due to a funny as h@ll perfromance in a lil' movie called "Drop Dead Gorgeous". It stars Kirsten Dunst and others and is, in my opinion, a laff riot. If you haven't seen it then rush out and rent it. Truthfully, some of you won't find it funny as it takes a certain sense of humor, but some of you will pee yourself from laughing.
As for the Pier One commercials, I have effectively blocked them from my mind and refuse to admit they exist as part of Kirstie's ouvre.
Poor Kirsty..Kristy.. Crusty, whatever.. reminds me of the missing segment of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" as young woman. Those commercials are horrid!
Hahahaha....Those commercials scare me! I just want to pull my hair out after having to endure them.
Later!
