In 2006, she proudly paraded her bikini body on Oprah after losing five stone.

But four years on, Kirstie Alley is right back where she started after regaining all the weight and more.

The former Cheers actress is documenting her latest battle with the bulge in a new reality TV show, Kirstie Alley’s Big Life, and she has vowed to get down to a slender 9st 7lbs through diet and exercise.

Facing her moment of truth, Kirstie is filmed on the verge of a tantrum after tipping the scales at 16st 6lbs (230lbs).

She seeks motivation in the form of a white chiffon gown, which the notorious yo-yo dieter vows to fit into by New Year’s Eve. The former Jenny Craig spokesperson — she parted ways with the slimming company in 2008 as the weight started creeping on again — has this time devised her own diet programme, Organic Liaison.

The series also features Kirstie’s two children William, 17, and 15-year-old Lillie, as well as her assistants Kelly and Kyle. She is hoping her weight loss will help her to revive her flailing career.

Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz are reunited on the set of their new film Bad Teacher

They split up three years ago, but have remained on good terms, so it’s no surprise to see Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake working together.

The stars dated for four years, but split in 2007 — they have been reunited for the new black comedy entitled Bad Teacher.

As the title suggests, the story follows a foul-mouthed junior high teacher, played by Cameron Diaz, who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague. In a twist of fate, that colleague is played by Miss Diaz’s ex-boyfriend Timberlake.

Unsurprisingly, Timberlake’s current girlfriend Jessica Biel is alleged to be unhappy about the new project.

Anna Nicole’s girl Dannielynn loses fight for oil tycoon’s millions

Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter has lost a battle for the fortune that the topless model claimed to have inherited from her late husband, oil billionaire J. Howard Marshall. Representatives of three-year-old Dannielynn have been locked in a legal fight with Marshall’s family, who claim that the Texan tycoon was senile when, aged 89, he married Anna Nicole.

Anna Nicole herself went to court after Marshall’s death in 1995, claiming he promised to leave her £200million, even though his will made no mention of her. After she died from a drug overdose in 2007 aged 39, her lawyers argued that the money should go to Dannielynn, who was fathered by one of her lovers, Larry Birkhead, 37.

But a federal court ruled on Friday night that Marshall intended to leave his entire fortune to Pierce Marshall, his son by an earlier marriage. Pierce Marshall died in 2006. Under the court ruling, the money will now go to his widow, Elaine.
