Is Kirstie Alley signing on to star in a spinoff of
Cheers? That's the rumor that's going around. All that Jenny Craig stuff aside, Alley needs the work – after all, now that she isn't really all that fat, I imagine the well of stories over at the
Fat Actress camp has sort of dried up – and she's said to be interested. The spinoff would feature Alley's character from
Cheers, Rebecca Howe, as a divorcee living in Boston. Funny - I was just watching a rerun of that *other*
Cheers spinoff the other night, Frasier, with Ted Danson guest-starring. At one point, Sam Malone told Fraiser that Rebecca was divorced and "back at the bar". Frasier said, "Oh, Rebecca's working at Cheers?" Sam said, "No, she's just gone back to the bar." So: do we like this idea?
